jeauexe: Thank you for the fantastic mix and the banners you made specifically for posting the story with. I've never participated in a Big Bang where I actually made it to the finish line, and I am very grateful that I was paired up with you as an artist. Thank you for picking my story to work with in the first place. :) I am so thankful that you were understanding about all the little hiccups that were my exams and my holiday. Thank you so much for making my experience with working with a partner to be so much fun and stress-free.
iluisaaa: Romeo, romeo, where would I be without my dear Romeo? Thank you for being the biggest bitch in the whole wide world and demanding certain amounts of words to be written (and smut). You've been cheering me on ever since I said "Hey, I may have signed up for a Big Bang (again)". Thank you for listening to me whine about how I need to finish. Thank you for opting to beta it for me and I apologise so much about how I mixed up "you're" with "your" because *facepalm* as if we don't make fun of it enough. :p Thank you for being the biggest goddamn champion in the land down under and reading all sixty-three pages in a day. Thank you for taking an interest in this before you received your Skins education! And I am sorry that I didn't manage to write in that second smut scene that you so nicely~ asked for. Maybe a deleted scene? :D
shan_3414: Thank you for running a smooth challenge. I've never participated in a Big Bang before where I made it this far, and as far as I can tell, I really like your methods of running the community.
Thank you to the skins_bigbang community. I didn't post too much at the Vent Community, but I found that knowing that other people were writing and falling and picking themselves up again to really motivate me and inspire me to continue writing.

The title is from a quote in the book:
"I'm living under water. Everything seems slow and far away. I know there's a world up there, a sunlit quick world where time runs like dry sand through an hourglass, but down here, where I am, air and sound and time and feeling are thick and dense."
Since I suck at jokes that don't go "Why does Snoop Dogg carry an umbrella?" ... "Fo' Drizzle!", I had to use Google to help me find some. The bar jokes are from this site and this site.
Some lines and/or scenes may seem familiar to either the book or movie. I didn't lift passages from the book or movie but I did borrow a few scenes and put my own little spin on them. Obviously, credit goes to Audrey Niffenegger and the creators and team behind the movie adaption.

Please note while reading:
- The fic follows Chris chronologically by his age. Hopefully the timestamps help identify what is happening in that particular scene, such as if he has time travelled or if he is being visited by a past or future self.
- I formatted the fic specifically with "*" and "-" as scene separators. "*" means that the scene following it does not follow on from the previous scene. "-" represents that the scene following on does continue from the previous scene. It is meant to imply that the next scene is continuing to deal with the idea/issue in the previous one. I did this because I needed a way to connect certain scenes together while not saying "A few months later ..." and "And then ...". I wanted to show that time had also passed.
