Chapter Text
Lucy Preston loved Garcia Flynn in all but thirty-two of the last twenty-eight thousand seven hundred fifty-six iterations of their entwined timelines. Garcia Flynn loved Lucy Preston in all but nineteen. Not always lovers, not always friends. Sometimes they found themselves in dirty side alleys, fighting side by side. Sometimes across the table, dining with Nicola Tesla and Thomas Edison.
Lucy and Flynn so intrinsically linked the universe couldn’t tell the two of them apart.
They wreaked havoc when they found each other too early. Lived desperate obsessions when they found each other too late.
In four hundred twenty-three timelines they teamed up on a bad day and the world burned in their wake.
In only one they found happiness.
Both, out of time, searching for home in a foreign land. Both lost, scrabbling at hope like a child desperate for Christmas morning.
This is that story.
