jess/wyatt: I understand. It's ok.

“I understand.” He lowers his gun, bowing his head slightly. “It’s okay.”

It takes her just a few heartbeats to realize his meaning, heartbeats that stretch out between them. He thinks she’s going to kill him (and she should, shouldn’t she? They’re on opposite sides of a war, and if she doesn’t take the shot now, someone else will, or he’ll put someone on her side in the ground), and he’s not even going to fight her. 

Tears prick her eyes, chest tightening. Rittenhouse may be her family, but she loves this man, and she cannot-she cannot-

She’s lowering the gun before she even realizes it, closing the distance between them. He looks up, a question in his eyes that she doesn’t give him a chance to ask, and she presses her lips to his. 

He should hesitate, should flinch-for crying out loud, he should push her away-but he falls into her easily, a broken noise slipping from his lips as he returns the kiss. And for a moment, there is nothing else: No Rittenhouse, no fear, no wars. There is only her husband, and the way they kiss each other as if they might never get another chance. His fingers are in her hair, she’s clinging to his shirt for dear life, and she can’t be sure if the salt she tastes is from her tears or his.

The sound of footsteps drawing near shatters their hastily-constructed bubble, and he releases her, looking around, fingers once again resting against his gun. Reality is flooding in, and she hates it, hates it so desperately she could scream. 

“Join us,” she says, and her voice shakes, but she doesn’t care. This is no recruitment pitch; it’s a plea to the man she loves to please, please not force them apart. 

He swallows. Meets her eyes, pain shining in his. “I can’t.” And of course he can’t; she knows that. His loyalty, his unwavering dedication to what’s right, no matter the cost, is only one of the many things she loves about him. “But you could come with us.” And oh, that same desperation drips from his words. “It’s not too late. You can do the right thing-” 

But it is too late, and she knows it. She’s chosen her side, just as he’s chosen his. If she came back now, it would be in handcuffs; what sort of life is that, for her or her child? Besides, she owes Rittenhouse more than she can say. They saved her brother. They gave her purpose. And all they want to do is make the world a better place (don’t they?). That’s what Wyatt and his hopeless band of rebels are fighting, and Jessica could never be a part of that. 

“Wyatt.” 

One word is all it takes. His face falls, but he looks no more surprised than she feels. This is far from fair, but it’s how things are, and they can be no other way. 

“Okay.” He squares his shoulders. Sets his jaw. “Okay.” 

The footsteps draw closer still, and with them, voices: Lucy, Flynn, and Jiya. Any one of them would shoot her without hesitation. And if she tries to shoot first, Wyatt will protect them. He’ll never forgive himself, but it will be instinct: the soldier protecting his teammates. 

So she nods, turns, and runs, vanishing into the night. Her heart is pounding in her chest, and she grits her teeth, steeling herself. All she wants to do is run back to him, but that’s not an option. There is only forward.

Last night I started watching a show called Baking Impossible. Basically, teams of a baker and an engineer join forces to create a dessert that serves a function or is able to complete a task in order to win prize money. Naturally, I immediately started plotting a Timeless AU (Riya, Flufus, Garcy, and possibly Wyjess). 

Mason created the show after a ‘bakineering’ incident of his own (it worked great but tasted horrible). Denise is his co-host/fellow judge. (She is former homeland security and is having a WILD second act.)

Rufus thought, with some convincing from his boss, that being a contestant on Baking Industries might be fun, or at least entertaining to his family and an interesting challenge. Secretly, he hoped to spend more time with coworker and fellow contestant Jiya, maybe even to impress her.

His hopes of a good time are dashed upon meeting his partner, Garcia Flynn, ex-NSA assist, probable ex and/or current assassin and bakery owner, who took up the profession after the tragic death of his wife and daughter.

Denise makes the interviews really unnecessarily intense, which is how Rufus learns all that. He wonders, not for the last time, as he spills his life story, what exactly he signed up for. He also thinks of what he could do with $100,000, the grand prize.

Jiya’s partner, Lucy, took a sharp left turn from a history degree to professional baking over a decade ago.

Anthony’s partner, Jessica, got a job at a bakery after leaving the cult she was raised in and discovered a natural talent.

Emma’s partner, Wyatt, ended up in a program for veterans with PTSD that involved baking, cooking, and deconstructing toxic masculinity some odd years ago. It ended in a career for him.

Rufus wonders if Denise is going for some sort of narrative about food and rebuilding and defense relating to her own experiences. 

They have eight hours to create a working lifeboat cake, the first of many challenges. Chaos, friendship, chocolate, bonding over childhood trauma, and romance ensue.

My Timeless funko pop set is complete!

[letmetellyouaboutmyfeels]

Wyatt: Talk dirty to me

Jess: I’m not wearing any underwear because you never put the fucking laundry in the fucking dryer like I asked you to a hundred fucking times.

[incorrect-timeless-quotes]

Lucy: It’s kind of cold.

Flynn: Well here, take my jacket. 

Lucy: I love you.

Flynn: We are such the... [Looks at Wyatt and says dramatically] perfect couple.

Jessica: [Looks at Wyatt] I’m cold, too.

Wyatt: Well damn, Jessica, I can’t control the weather!
