Tuesday: Time Travel

[argentum_ls]

Hello, everyone. I’m argentum-ls, pinch-hitting for the week, and today's theme is time travel. Prompts can be characters going back or forward in time, time itself changing directions, metaphors about time or traveling through it, or any other way you way to interpret the theme

any, any, someone gets stuck in the past. Over the years, they settle in and build a life. Then, many years later, they are offered the chance to return to their original time

I can't say how much I'd love this, but I'm pretty sure at the moment, I couldn't do it justice.

Pour Away the Ocean (Leverage)

This might end up into a full story, but for now...

He makes himself a sandwich to die for and cracks open a beer, silent as he always is so as to not wake the others, but can’t bring himself to eat it. The kitchen, Nate’s kitchen, seems so empty, despite the knowledge that Nate and Sophie are upstairs, and Hardison’s splayed on the couch with Parker nestled at his feet.

Out of reflex, he’d gone to all the wrong cabinets and all the wrong drawers, searching for plates where there were glasses, searching for knives where there were dish towels. He keeps expecting her to sit down next to him like she had so many other times when he couldn’t sleep, dead on her feet but determined to stay up as long as he did. She’d say nothing, just sit, and wait for the sunrise to wash away his unease for one more day

Oh, this broke my heart. For all of them. If you ever decide to write more I'd love to read it but this stands great on its own!
