Garcia Flynn has been locked up in prison for six weeks. With Rittenhouse set on killing him, an unexpected visitor sets forth a new path that Lucy hadn't written about in her journal.

Hello everyone, everywhere, it's "tank top Tuesday". Hope your day goes as you would wish it to.

OOOh! Ooooh! Love the way he is stroking his wedding ring.

Garcy + Honeymoon Trip to Greece

“Say cheese!”

“You’re blocking the view, Garcia.” “I am the view, Lucy.”

Man talks about the historical facts of the site. Picture taken by wife with heart eyes.

“Can you see the view now, Lucy?”

“Are you taking another picture of me?” “I can’t help it!”

Nothing like a nice bit of fluff first thing in my morning. Thank you.

8?

Sorry this is so late!  Extra fluffy just like you like it! 

#8 “First Kiss”

She poses as Flynn’s wife more times that she can count, but there have been no kisses between them, not even a chaste one on the cheek or forehead.  She wants to kiss him though, and dreams of it more than she wants to admit.  Where is New Year’s Eve when you need it?  Oh right.  That was over a month ago, or so she thinks.  Time travel.

She thinks about making the first move a few times, only to chicken out.  The doubts swirl in her mind, and she manages to convince herself he would never reciprocate her feelings.  Still, she wants to know what his lips would feel like.  Maybe, just maybe, she can sneak one in on Valentine’s Day.

Since Rittenhouse ruins everything for her, of course the Mothership jumps that day.  As they enter the Lifeboat, Flynn makes a quip about Emma standing up her date with the devil just to torture them.  A match made in perfect hell.  

The mission is long and tiresome, and Lucy forgets about it being Valentine’s Day when they return to the bunker.  She showers and goes about her normal evening routine, which includes hanging out on that awful couch (at least until everyone else goes to bed).  

Once everyone does wander off to their own rooms, she grabs her vodka bottle and makes her way to Flynn’s room.  

Tapping lightly on the door, it doesn’t take him long to answer.  He smiles back at her, the corner of his mouth in a half-smirk.

She takes a seat on his bed and he sits in his chair.  Business as usual.  They chat, laugh and drink for a short while, before she stretches her arms out and winces.  

“What’s wrong Lucy?” 

“Just sore and tired.”

To her shock, he gets up from his chair and sits next to her on the bed.  He places his hands gently on her shoulders and begins to massage her achy muscles.  

“That feels really, really good.”

He continues his massage, moving down to her arms next.  She closes her eyes and relaxes into him.  Every bit of tension is escaping her body right now, and she is lost in the magic feeling of his hands.

She is floating amongst the clouds in no time flat, and she leans back and rests against him.  She hears his breathing become erratic, as their cheeks are almost flush.

“Better now?” he asks, as he places a kiss to the crown of her head.  

“Much,” she muses dreamily.

Her eyes are still shut and she sighs contently, as she pulls his arms around her.  He tightens his grip, then slides his one hand up her arm to her chin.  He tilts it upward and kisses her forehead with a feathery touch.  His lips linger slightly before he pulls away.  

She makes another audibly sigh, and turns her body towards his.  All she feels is comfort and warmth, and she wants to stay here forever.  His hand strokes her hair absentmindedly, and her hands press against his chest.  It is in that exact moment that she can actually feel his heart racing beneath her palm.

Opening her eyes, she gazes up at him.  He smiles down at her like she is a butterfly emerging from its cocoon.  His hand cups her face, and his thumb grazes over her lips.  She feels as if she’s in a trance, because the next thing she knows, his lips are on hers.

It takes her brain a second or two to register what is going on.  He’s kissing her!  Garcia Flynn is kissing her!  She finds it both impressive and annoying that he made the first move.  She always thought she would have to do it.

His lips are surprisingly soft and supple.  The kiss deepens and lingers, until they are both breathless.   

Staring back at him in shock once they part, he appears nervous to her.  The initial shock wears off of her face, and she curls her mouth up into a radiant smile.

“Happy Valentine’s Day, Lucy.”

 She crashes her lips upon his one more time, and kisses him deeply.  She pulls back, her hands clinging to his cheeks, as she whispers, “Happy Valentine’s Day, Garcia.”

She could literally kick herself for not kissing him sooner, because she has never been kissed that way in her entire life.  Now that their first kiss is out of the way, she cannot wait for their second…and third…and fourth.

BEAUTIFUL PERSON AWARD!❣️ Once you are given this award you're supposed to paste it in the asks of 8 people you adore! Absolutely no pressure but it's sweet to know someone thinks you're beautiful inside and out ❤️

Thank you so much.

I'm not surprised at how many people mentioned the mother in "Bambi". What a thing to inflict upon children at such an early age.

Light, medium and lots of scruff.

Hello everyone, everywhere, it's "scruff Sunday".

Questions: does anyone know why the Instagram site for Lefty, Goran's dog, has stopped posting?

And are we EVER going to get Vikings Valhalla?

Hope your day goes as you would wish it to.

Yes, a hug can say/imply a lot of things.

I was just thinking about Garcy and realized we never got a hug. Some of my favorite ship scenes are hugs.

We was robbed. Robbed, I say!

Pic-and-mix Saturday.

Hello everyone, everywhere it's another Saturday and it's still so cold in my part of the UK. Lots to read today in my blog. Hope your day goes as you would wish it to.

Wow, this is a story all of its own which I hope will be a long preface when the story is finally finished because all the hard work needs to be acknowledged. There will be lots of tears from readers when it's finally finished too. At that time I plan to wait until my partner is out for the day and then just sit down and read the whole story through. I'll have to come up with an excuse for why my face is red and blotchy from crying.

Thanks for continuing with this incredible work.

While I began writing TRLT on 6 April 2019, the first chapter was first made available to readers on AO3 five (yes, five) years ago today: 27 April 2019.

I'm having feelings about this, so bear with me...

The five years I've spent working on this story have brought me a roller coaster of emotions. At times, chapters seem to have written themselves, other times I've been so frustrated with how slowly it took to finish chapters. I've laughed plenty, and cried over the stress I put on myself to finish writing this story. And I go through bouts of anxiety every time that I publish a new chapter to AO3 (fearing I've lost readers, and fearing that no one will continue to read it, etc.). I've been elated, and extremely frustrated with this story, too. I've had giggle fits and laughter - thankfully more times than I've been in tears (I think).

I love Garcy, Garcia, and Lucy, but writing this story has only made me fall in love with them more than any of my favourite televised scenes of Timeless ever could <- TRLT has also made me love Karl, Amy, Emma, Noah, Dave, and Maria more, too. Aw Hell, even Carol and Benjamin (though he wasn't in it for very long) 😊 <- I ended up scraping an entire subplot that would've featured him much more. I did this because I didn't want TRLT to be a long fic <- yeah... I know 🤦‍♂️

And while I've known exactly how this story will end since 2019, I've enjoyed seeing the way the story changed in places that I didn't expect. I have a very rough draft of the final chapter written. I finished it back in 2020 (or maybe early 2021), and there's a part of me that wonders if that final chapter will change once I complete TRLT's penultimate chapter. I'm just going to let the characters determine that for me since they've dictated almost everything else that has happened in this story. Really... Garcia and Lucy took control of TRLT back in 2019. I'm just their conduit 😂

I never intended to work on this story for five years. And I'm certain that if I knew I'd still be writing it in the year 2024, that 2019 me would've left it with an open ending after chapter 3's conclusion, as it was originally supposed to end there - with Garcia and Lucy escaping prison, and driving off together into a future unknown. Together.

But the itch to tell their story was too strong, and here we are five years later, with at least eight chapters to be published before it ends. And I only have five more chapters to write until it's (kinda) done for me <- I'll still need to revise and edit them all before they are on AO3.

For those of you who have been following this story since the very beginning, thank you for sticking with me, and thank you for your support over the years. I appreciate it more than you know.

To those who came to the story later, I'm so grateful that you saw the word count, and still decided to read this monster fic. Thank you for reading TRLT, and leaving your kudos and comments as you go (and in some cases, telling your non-Timeless friends to check it out <- even if just for the sexytimes chapter 😂 <- should I be embarrassed by this? IDK 😂). I appreciate you all so much.

To those of you like me, who only read completed fanfic. And to those of you who have waited patiently these past five years for TRLT to conclude so you can finally read it... my goal is to finish writing TRLT this year.

I originally was aiming to have all remaining chapters on AO3 before 2025, but my life circumstances won't allow me the freedom to do that. So... I'm hoping to get chapters 26-27 on AO3 this year, and then chapters 28-33 on AO3 in 2025. <- I plan on publishing those last six chapters close together (I'm thinking every two weeks) because they're best read in quick succession. I don't want to have several weeks or months in between them 😊 (and you won't either).

I figured I can quickly write rough drafts of chapters 26-33 right now, and then when my time to work on TRLT is severely cut down (this June), I can work on editing.

Once TRLT is completed, I look forward to your comments as you read the conclusion to this story ❤🙏😊 I've been waiting five long years to get to these final chapters, and, well... getting here, it's been one helluva ride so far, amirite? 😂😂😂😂😂

To my editor, @katechaucer, words cannot possibly describe how much I appreciate the editing work you do on TRLT. Whether it's fixing silly typos, fixing strange word order (I blame my knowledge of several languages on that), or helping me decide which scenes or dialogue to keep, rework, or delete, your thoughts and advice are invaluable to this story. Without your support, I would've given up and deleted this story from AO3 years ago. The comments which you sprinkle throughout the chapters as you edit them, always brighten my day. Thank you so much for everything you do to help me with this story ❤🙏😊

The Road Less Traveled

SUMMARY:

The road less traveled (idiom/phrase) - a choice made in one's life that is unconventional; a choice that leads one in a different direction than most people. More metaphorically, it speaks about the choices we have never experienced.

This story is a reimagining of Timeless season 2.

Garcia Flynn has been locked up in prison for six weeks. With Rittenhouse set on killing him, an unexpected visitor sets forth a new path that Lucy hadn't written about in her journal.

Seriously though, when I finish this story, I fully expect to sob for hours for so many reasons. The ultimate relief of stress, and knowing that after so many years the story is complete. I've become so attached to TRLT and its characters. I've spent thousands of hours working on it over the years (I actually keep track of this with the Boosted app). Most of my non-language learning free time has been spent writing TRLT. It'll be difficult to polish the final sentence, and leave TRLT behind me.

Although, to be honest, TRLT is a story I will reread for years to come. I love it so much ❤ I don't think it'll ever not be a part of me.

Psst... I'll probably go through the story one last time after the final chapter is posted, and give it one last polish - especially that one chapter early on that still bothers me today 😂

There never seems to be enough time to write for me. Not least because of my partner continually interrupting me! It's almost making me want to give up writing which I've just recently started to do again on joining the fandom.

👆 Hours that I spent working on my most recent fics 😲 (I forgot to use the timer when I wrote this year's Valentine's Day fic, that's why it's not there... oops).

TRLT (on AO3), and Tabula Rasa (not yet on AO3) are still in progress.

And... last night, I got TRLT chapter 27 to a draft that's ready for my editor once she finishes edits on chapter 26 💃

Read my fics on AO3 👇

Can't disagree with this.

i am begging you all to stop treating this site like instagram if you dont want it to be content free by next year

[patientlibrarian]

It was nice to see these photos of somewhere I'll never get to see as there's rather a lot of water to cross! Thanks for sharing.

I'm writing scenes in TRLT that take place in downtown San Antonio, and I'm missing that city so much right now.

👆 That was my preferred parking garage on E. Houston St. Not far from the Majestic Theatre, and the Gunter Hotel 👇

This 👇 is the Emily Morgan Hotel. I think it's one of the coolest looking buildings in San Antonio. In the photo, you can walk to the Alamo by turning right at that corner.

And this 👇 is the Alamo Cenotaph at Alamo Plaza

And y'all know this one, right? 👇

You can see the signage for the Crockett Hotel to the above right of the Alamo. 👆

👇 The most haunted hotel in Texas: The Menger Hotel. I once ate lunch here, and the building's exterior says nothing about how gorgeous this place is on the inside ❤ If I didn't have friends in San Antonio, I'd probably want to stay at least one night in this place <- hopefully get a ghostly experience, or close the night out in the Menger Bar where it's said the ghost of Teddy Roosevelt frequents 😱

👇 if I wanted a quick in and out of downtown, I parked here because it's right next to I-35, and I'd be home in under 30 minutes (well... depending on traffic on 35/281/1604 😂😂😂😂🤦‍♂️).

👆 And it's still within walking distance of Alamo Plaza and the Riverwalk.

Ugh. I am really missing San Antonio so much. It's my favourite city and downtown in the United States ❤ The last time I was there was in February 2020, a few weeks before covid lockdown.

Pictures taken with my phone from Google Maps.

Can you guess what TRLT time mission I'm working on based on this post? 😂😂😂😂😂
