Tuesday - Time Travel
Happy Tuesday. Today we're going to mess with wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey things - more precisely, time travel! Are you going back to the future? Falling through a hole in the space-time continuum? Or maybe just going to a historical reenactment?
Whichever it is, just remember the community rules: five prompts at a time; you're welcome to post more when those are answered (please be kind to the code monkeys and don't go too crazy), no spoilers in your prompts til a week after release, warn in bold and leave space if there's a spoiler in your fic itself, and please use this format for your prompts (the last is for crossovers):
Weiss Kreuz, Schuldig/Crawford, the ritual sends Schuldig 15 years back in time
Supernatural, Sam/Dean, a hunt takes them into the middle of Pennsic
Star Trek/Star Wars, author's choice, 'a long long time ago in a galaxy far far away' has less meaning than you'd think when it comes to wormholes, rifts, or Q
tag=timetravel

The ultimate retcon
Jack understood what the crystal represented. A second chance. The ultimate retcon. It was the big red button that would allow him to go back and fix everything.
He could stop the 456 before they ever arrived...
So the hub would be intact...
So Steven would still be alive...
So Ianto would still be alive...
He could fix everything...
Everything except himself...
His memory would be intact no matter what else changed and that weight in his heart would never lift. He would have always sacrificed his own blood without a second thought. He would always have let the love of his life slip though his hands.
Could he ever forgive himself? Could he touch Ianto without feeling the chill of death on the young man’s skin? Could he look into those eyes without seeing them lifeless and flat? Could he love with the memories that no-one else shared...
He wrapped the crystal in cloth, tucking it inside his coat, feeling its sharp edges cut like the shards of his broken heart. The guilt he felt was his to bear and no other should have to feel it. There would be other time, other chances maybe but for now...
He would wait till he could honour Ianto with pride not shame and maybe then...
They could be together forever in the facets of the glass.
