Summary:  After Sara’s father died, she felt sad and alone, the darkness was growing inside her again, until Rip comes back from “death” to save her again from the darkness.

Sara’s P.O.V

A lot of feelings were spinning around in my head; I don’t know how to explain it. First, I saw my dead sister again; my sister from another planet, and then the cops took Ollie away. In that same moment, I realized that my father was dead.

With Earth 2 Laurel, I went to see my dad one last time, and I broke in tears and sadness.

Maybe if I stayed here in Star City, maybe if I never left, my sister and my father would be alive. I left with the idea that I have a home to return to here in Star City, but now I have nothing.

I couldn’t go back to the Waverider like this, so I walked away from the hospital and went to my old house. It was a bad idea, but I just want to remember how my life was before all of this.

The first thing I saw when I came inside the house was a picture of me with dad and Laurel, happy, like we should be. I started walking around, feeling all the memories coming to my mind and breaking my heart even more. I couldn’t resist the tears anymore, so I let them fall just like I fell to the floor, sobbing.

“Please, make it stop, make the pain stop” I said believing that Laurel would come to me and hug me; she always did that when I was sad, and dad always joined the hug seconds after.

I heard steps outside; I stood up and wipe my tears away, pretending that nothing happened.  I thought I was going to find myself with Earth 2 Laurel, but when I turn around, I saw the face I never thought I would see ever again.

“Sara?” he said looking at me with deep eyes”

“Rip?” I said his name with surprise.

“I heard what happened and I… I’m so sorry Sara”

“How are you here? You died in hands of Mallus”

“Did you saw my body? For a time traveler, you should know that anything is possible with time travel”

“You faked your death?”

“Well, that wasn’t the point but yes, I think I did. I thought I was gonna die but when I opened my eyes I was on another era, apparently instead of dying I traveled” the tears appeared again, I wanted to hug him so much but at the same time I wanted to stay strong.

“So you left us, again? You left us again with the idea of you being dead? You left me when I needed you the most!”

“I never wanted to”

“But you did it anyways!” the sobs were coming out of my mouth again “You said you care for us, you said you cared about me, and it was all a lie”

“I risked my life because I care about the legends, especially about you”

“And caring is leaving someone in a critical moment? If you haven’t notice, I’m in hell again. I was happy because we finally defeated Mallus but sad because your death, and then I come to Star City and I found out that my dad is dead, just like my sister. I don’t have anything! I lost everything!” I sat in the couch and I let myself cry again, and Rip got on his knees in front of me, just like he did when I was broken after Laurel’s death.

“Listen to me Sara. I don’t know how many times I told you this, but you are the strongest people I’ve ever meet. You have been through everything, to hell and back, and you’re still here”

“What’s the point of being here, without a family?”

“You have a family Sara; the legends are your family. Yes, I know what it’s like to miss your real family, but you have them. When I recruited all of you, I found happiness again; I found a new family to fight for”

“In some point, I’m going to lose them too, just like I lost you”

“I’m here Sara, you’ll never lose me” I looked at him, his eyes told me that he was being honest. I closed my eyes, and I felt Rip wiping my tears slowly from my cheek, but I saw all the bad memories, since Lian Yu to my father’s death. I heard the cries and the screams, and I couldn’t take it anymore.

“I can’t do this, not again” I said at the moment I opened my eyes. I went back to the Waverider, hearing Rip calling my name behind me, but I didn’t care anymore.

I have to go to the place, where I can let all my darkness out.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas! We hope that everything is going smoothly and you’re having fun creating your gifts!

With just under two weeks until gifts are due, here’s how to ‘submit’ your gift by the 17th December. Although you’ll be posting you gift on your own blog on December 25th, we ask that you send us a screenshot of the gift you’ve created by the 17th so we can make sure you have something to post.

Why are we doing this?

We’re asking you to send us a screenshot so we’re able to cross you off the list to make sure you’ve been able to finish your gift – we’ve already had to find pinch hitters for some giftees and the last thing we want is for someone to be left without a gift of Christmas day.

These submission guidelines will also be sent to the email address you supplied.

If your gift is fanfiction, please upload to the collection on AO3 (linked here),  then click on post to collection and then post work. Please make sure to include any warnings and the appropriate rating.

We ask that you post your gift on December 25th (it might be easier to queue it up once you’ve finished)

A masterlist of all the santas and their giftees will be posted on the 26th.

Please make sure to @mention your giftee in the body of your post.

Again, please make sure you send us a screenshot of your gift by the 17th December, and let us know ASAP if you’re having any difficulties.

We’re so excited to see all the different and wonderful gifts you have all created!

Happy Holidays! We hope you had a wonderful break and enjoyed taking part in this gift exchange.

We’re aware that there are still some people who haven’t received gifts yet. Some people let us know that they were going to be late submitting, and there are a few untagged gifts floating around here and on ao3, so there’s a chance your gift might be out there and you haven’t been tagged. 

If you haven’t received your gift, please flick us a message and we can find out what’s happening!
