🐑 send me a fake set of fic tags, and I’ll try to come up with a summary for it!
#slidingdoors #divergingtimelines
ok ok ok sooo im listening to raye right escapism so the sliding doors version of that is where my brain is. I feel like diverging timelines can only work in universes without cellphones because they completely change the way time works. The world has too much access to you otherwise
Hours after brutal and confrontational break up , Gale makes the decision to get out and get fucked, in every way possible . On his way there he bumps into an old lady carrying a stack of books and they tumble to the floor, in one version he stays to pick up the books and help her into her apartment, in the other he murmurs a sorry over his shoulder and dashes out, the third divergence-just as he's about to leave his apartment the phone rings and he picks it up.
I think the first time split where gale stays and helps the old lady with her books, he ends up spending time with her that evening. Hes distraught but he's taking the time to help her and she sees that and she really looks after him.. she's got an insane library in her little (big) apartment and she's a collector or something.. of rare books maybe , gale helps her put them all away and a couple hours into this who should walk in but.... HER nephew BUCKY EGAN, who happens to be staying with her for a little bit and has just come out of [REDACTED]
In the second time split he's out the door and onto the street and hes looking for trouble and finds it, ends up at some crazy house party, blacks out for a couple days and makes it home with little to no recollection of them he wakes up to banging on his door because he's fallen asleep trying to run a bath and there is a leak going into the apartment below him which is fucking up his neighbour (johns aunts)books,
In the third time split the phone rings, he picks up and it's his ex...
