I’m in the mood for a good cry. So I need a list of fics about Fitz’s death whether it be after Season 1 or Season 5.

Thank you guys. Sorry, I’m just feeling an emotional block in my personal life so having my fictional companions to turn to makes it easier to let it out.

Let me go through my bookmarks and see what I can find for you. I'm sorry you're having a rough time right now! Hopefully fic can soothe those ills.

I'll rec my own fic first that I wrote after season 5, The Road Home. I don't know if it's necessarily tear-jerky but it made me feel a lot better writing it.

Other fics on the topic:

Break by @clearascountryair a scattering of stars by @fanfoolishness I want you (and I always will) by @leopoldjamesfitzs

Anyone else, feel free to add on any fics you know would fic the topic for anon here!

hello yes all I want is Rufus saved and my adorable lyatt dorks happy thanks for coming to my ted talk

[alamble23]

Hello, hello! So one reason I’ve had to stop the TFP contest (other than time and not reading as much fic anymore) is because I’m currently fundraising for the BCNA, who gave me invaluable support last year while I fought stage 3 triple + breast cancer. This year I’m giving back, and paying it forward. So I’m taking part in a fundraising trip to Tuscany next year. All the travel I pay for myself, but part of the condition of going on this trip is that I fundraise $4,000 for BCNA. If I don’t hit that goal, I’ll need to donate the difference myself (which is fine, but could get expensive for me). In case it comes to that, all extra expenses have been removed from my life. TFP - while a wonderful experience - is on permanent hiatus for now.

The link to the campaign’s official fundraising page is above. The $4,000 will allow 72 more men and women affected by breast cancer receive the invaluable support I did.

If you can give anything, or share this page, please do.  Any help you can give me to hit the $4,000 goal would mean the world to me and others affected by breast cancer.

Thank you.

Helicopter Update

Clockblockers! My dear, dear Clockblocker family! You guys! <3

We have made so much progress these past few days. I can not express how proud I am of all of you for rallying SO HARD for this SDCC helicopter campaign. Do you know how fabulous you are!? YOU’RE AWESOME! So much to talk about! Where do I start!? 

First of all! As of the time of this writing, we have raised $13,800 and have secured the final upgrade available in our plane tiers (including GoFundMe fees).

Which means the next upgrade we get pushes us into helicopter territory. HELICOPTERS YOU GUYS! We are so close! 

We are $3,700 away from getting a helicopter! I know that still sounds like a lot. Especially since we only have one more day left to raise the funds (deadline is 11:59 PM PST on 7/8). BUT, we’ve made this much progress in 24 hours once already, so I know we can do it again! If you’re wondering what I’m talking about, let me explain.

On the 4th of July, Matt Lanter some how stumbled across a tweet about our GoFundMe campaign (https://www.gofundme.com/clockblockers-fight-2-savetimeless), and he tweeted about it.

At the time we were sitting somewhere under $6,000. That exposure gave us a HUGE push and we raised thousands over the next 24 hours. By July 5th, we had pushed passed $10,000.  We’ve slowed down a bit since then, but continued chipping away at our goals. I know if we rally, we can make one final push to get that helicopter! We know what we’re fighting for and we’re not going to go down without giving this everything we’ve got! Plus, our rep at AirAds is wonderful and completely on our side. He’s told me that as long as his work load continues to allow for it, if we are close to reaching a higher goal, he could see about getting us an extra day or two. So keep donating and spreading the word. Let’s make the next 24 hours REALLY count. In other exciting campaign news, we added a way for clockblockers to donate via PayPal (https://paypal.me/pools/c/85WdlLnMfk). 

We also obtained a press release about the campaign that we’ve been sending out to various outlets.

Matt Carter wrote an article and tweeted about us:

You can check out the full article here: https://cartermatt.com/315528/timeless-fans-fight-helicopter-banner-comic-con/ 

Here is an excerpt in which he mentions our Go Fund Me:

Arika Lisanne Mittman, one of the timeless writers, retweeted the article after a clockblocker shared it:

The fabulous Joseph Lee Anderson, one of the talented season 2 guest stars on Timeless, also gave us a signal boost after a clockblocker’s request:

Let’s keep this momentum, clockblocker family. I believe in us. I know we can do this! Helicopter San Diego Comic Con up, Clockblockers! 

[alamble23]

Clockblocker friends, if you weren’t already aware, there is a fundraising effort afoot to get a #SaveTimeless banner in the skies above SanDiego during Comic-Con, and now the group has an alternate method of contributing if you can’t or don’t want to deal with GoFundMe. If you have some cash burning a hole in your PayPal account, you can contribute via the PayPal pool above!

Helicopters over SDCC!

Dear Clockblocker family,

It has been a tough two weeks for us between the cancelation of our beloved show and the disheartening news from the creative team. Still, many of us have continued to fight. We’ve grieved and we’ve rallied. Now we are fighting to make our voices heard! 

Please add your voice by visiting our Go Fund Me and pitching in any amount you might be able to spare. 

 The #SaveTimeless fan campaign is currently working hard to raise enough money to fund a spectacular showing of support for our favorite Time Team at San Diego Comic Con. There will be a ton of press at this event as well as reps from a lot of the major studios. This is our best chance to be seen and heard!

With $26,500 we will be able to fly not one, but two helicopters, over the convention on Saturday, July 21! One helicopter will carry a custom Timeless billboard, the other will broadcast a live stream of our mission!

 

We know what you’re thinking, $26,500 is a lot of money. But we’ve already raised almost $6,000! If just 833 of us were to donate $25 we could hit our goal. And even if we don’t make our goal, we’ll still be able to fly a (smaller) billboard over the convention via an airplane. 

So don’t be discouraged! No matter how much we raise, we’ll be able to send our message! But let’s go big! We can do this!
 

Visit our Go Fund Me for more details, and don’t forget to spread the word!

Time Team, if you’d like to contribute to organizations a little closer to home, in addition to the fine organizations listed above, check to see if your local library system and/or school districts have Amazon Wish Lists. It’s a super easy way to help support resources in your local communities that are fighting constant battles for funding and materials.

Lucy’s Lifeboat Library

Hey Clockblockers! We’ve definitely been in the trenches this past month trying to save this show we all love so much. We’ve been fighting our most noble and honorable battle yet! Everything is pretty uncertain, and the only thing we know for sure at this point is that we LOVE TIMELESS and want to do right by it. If you’ve been inspired by the educational impact this show has had, like so many of us have, I invite you now to do what Lucy would do, and share that love by giving back! Spread the love of learning that this show has inspired in all of us by participating in Lucy’s Lifeboat Library, a book drive backed by a lot of love and hope from a LOT of Clockblockers all over the world. 

We’ve teamed up with the Lucy Preston Literary Society and reached out to different charities devoted to gifting used books to people in need – from underfunded schools, literacy programs, prisons, wounded soldiers, you name it! Our goal is to give selflessly, to spread the beauty of reading and knowledge to those in need, and to make a difference for the better - like the characters in this show and the wonderful writers who have created them. This is not a billboard on Hollywood BLVD, this won’t end up on some studio exec’s desk, but this is important and you will be making a difference.

HOW TO GET INVOLVED

Below is a list of the charities, with an explanation of what they do, and their respective Amazon Wishlists. (Please note that it’s okay to buy these gently used from Amazon sellers, they will be accepted by the organizations). On the gift receipt: include a supportive message as part of your donation, share your name (if you want), why you’re doing this, and include the #LifeBoatLibrary hashtag so they can see all of the other donations we’ve made! Remember to also let us know on Twitter which book you’ve added to Lucy’s Lifeboat Library, via #LifeBoatLibrary and don’t forget to include #SaveTimeless and #Timeless! 

Do not go gentle in into that good night, and donate a book or two while you’re at it! 

THE CHARITIES

Kids Need to Read; works to create a culture of reading for children by providing inspiring books to underfunded schools, libraries, and literacy programs across the USA, especially those serving disadvantaged children. Find their list here. 

Prison Book Programs. Prison Book Program is a grassroots organization that exists for one purpose—to send free books to prisoners. PBP mails books to people in prison to support their educational, vocational and personal development and to help them avoid returning to prison after their release. We also aim to provide a quality volunteer experience that introduces citizens to issues surrounding the American prison system and the role of education in reforming it. Find their list here.

Stay tuned for our third wishlist

REBLOG TO SPREAD THE WORD!!

A slightly unpopular opinion about the latest couple of Timeless deleted scenes . . .

I posted on Twitter the other day that I thought the writers’ room was going to run out of material at the rate we’re going, and I was correct. These last two scenes (Wyatt in the bunker and especially Emma at the new Rittenhouse HQ) really are scraping the bottom of the barrel, as they don’t really advance the plot or do much to further illuminate either of the characters.

Please don’t misunderstand - the fact that they offered deleted scenes up at all is well above and beyond what any of us fans have a right to expect. But sometimes scenes get deleted for a good reason, and that was definitely the case with these last two.

Here’s hoping they’ve got something major for tomorrow!

[alamble23]

Why do I get the suspicion that the hug from 1x15 was unscripted?  Matt look genuinely surprised to be tackle-hugged. 

Also, that next-to-last gif, from Hollywoodland? SO NOT A HUG. THAT IS WAY BEYOND A SIMPLE HUG, FRIENDS. That is “as soon as that door closes behind Rufus we’re both going to be naked again.”

Lyatt + hugs

Timeless Tuesdays

Thanks to @miss-lucy-preston for the suggestion!

Question this week: What is/are your favorite Timeless episode(s)?

Well, Hollywoodland is far and away #1. It aired two days after my birthday and it was the BEST.GIFT.EVER. The clothes! Movie magic! Lucy singing! Hedy Lamar being smart and snarky and gorgeous! The LYATT! And of course, the scene in which Rufus busts in on Wyatt and Lucy, which I could watch on repeat all day, erry day and still cackle like a crazy person. The deleted scenes we’ve gotten from that episode since just make me love it more.

Favorite episode from season 1 is The Alamo, a/k/a, “the one in which Wyatt Logan stole my heart and refused to give it back.” 

I can’t honestly tell you why Wyatt Logan is my favorite character on the show. I was completely unfamiliar with Matt Lanter prior to Timeless - I was a big fan of season 1 of Heroes, but his character didn’t register with me at all, and I never watched either version of 90210. I think it’s because Wyatt could have easily ended up being the show’s punching bag thanks to the stark differences between Wyatt, Lucy and Rufus, but the writers and actors instead chose to emphasize how their differences strengthen and balance each other. The Alamo was Matt’s episode from start to finish, and he totally crushed it. 

The rest, as they say, is history.

on lyatt

after the last few episodes with a lot of flynn/lucy content there’s been a lot of multishipper posts and posts about that (and i’m not anti-flynn) so i thought i’d just share my thoughts on wyatt and lucy because i’m lyatt trash so enjoy.

oKAY. SO. HERE’S THE THING ABOUT LUCY AND WYATT. WE’RE STARTING AT THE VERY BEGINNING BECAUSE I CANNOT SHUT UP. Wyatt is an asshole at first. There’s literally no way to spin that. It’s not hard to sympathize with him, though, because he lost his wife. Wyatt is a tricky character because it’s a pretty predictable plotline and it also sucks that Lucy is left to deal with that, but Lucy does, and that’s what finally gets through to him. It’s so clear how much he loves his wife, even if he romanticizes her. He was probably distant and the typical male struggling with emotions because toxic masculinity, at least from what Jessica has said, but he loved her so much. She really was his world. It doesn’t mean he had a healthy relationship with Jessica, it just meant it was his everything. It’s a common experience. So imagine losing that like he has. Plus, like he said to Rufus and Lucy later, he thinks of himself as someone meant to protect the ones he cares about. Again, typical, but nonetheless real, so the anger and frustration at losing Jessica would’ve overwhelmed him. Plus we don’t know much about his parents but we know he didn’t have a great childhood so Jess likely was the entirety of his family. So he’s hurting a ton and acts like an asshole to everyone because he’s so miserable he doesn’t care. Then he meets Lucy. At first the only thing they’ve got is chemistry because they literally don’t know each other, but you feel it the first time they look each other in the eye. It’s like she wakes him up, gets him to open his eyes and smile, because she’s finally speaking to him as a human being with actual standards who will stick up for herself even with the little things, like being called “ma’am” (which of course becomes endearing later). His anger is probably something that isolated him and also got him what he wanted in the past, but Lucy has the strength to stand up to it (and it’s all the more charming to Wyatt that at first, she doesn’t know she has that strength). Lucy softens him. He sees that she needs him to open up and in the end is willing to give her what she needs, and she, in turn, opens up to him. They start to bond naturally. Obviously their circumstances intensify this, but there’s still something there. She grabs his face and says she needs him, they trust each other exclusively, they fall into a rhythm and have developed this bond neither of them feel with anyone else; they become each other’s family after feeling like they’ve lost everything that meant the most to them (especially Lucy in 2x01). It’s a pretty slow-burn falling in love compared to the pace of the show. It’s natural. And sweet. He begins opening up about Jessica and we see the pain with which he speaks about her and how much he doesn’t like talking about her, but he’s willing to talk to Lucy about her. He grows until he’s willing to accept her saying that he should be open to possibilities; he starts to change his way of thinking because of Lucy, and she changes hers because of him. They are interdependent and they grow together. They conflict but they work it out, make up, and ultimately become stronger because of it, because they know a conflict can’t erase what they have. (Also this would be a whole other novel but I love Lucy. She’s so patient, so strong, so forgiving, in the season two finale she was the first to defend Wyatt, Agent Christopher, etc. when people started to fight with each other because she was able to see all sides.) Wyatt has been carrying guilt and there is no doubt in my mind that admitting to falling in love with Lucy would feel like a betrayal to him, a loss of his values, because what does that make Jessica? Is it okay to move on when just before meeting Lucy, he was ready to give up? And what was Lucy feeling? She may suspect he loves her, but has no way of knowing, reminds herself that he’s in love with Jessica and probably convinces herself it’s better this way since the more you care about, the more you have to lose. But then they both finally go for it. They’ve both lost so much, they’re both afraid to risk caring again because of how much there is to lose, but they can’t help it. Wyatt says that she saved him, but doesn’t do it in a manipulative way, doesn’t say “you are the only reason I’m alive and you have to stay with me because otherwise I’ll die,” he’s honest about how he was feeling. How numb he was. How she changed that fact, helped him remember how to feel again, by simply being there. She was soft and patient with him, pushing him in ways he needed but persisting in her efforts to know him because she cared, that is who Lucy is. There was no romantic goal for either of them at first, they just grew together as friends (albeit friends that thought the other was hot). And then when they finally had their night… she wakes up and he smiles and says “good morning” and she says it back and both of them have the BIGGEST smiles on their faces (brb crying rn). And she asks if it was okay and he says yes, they both think it was amazing, for the first time there’s hope, because “we have each other.” They are so natural and so happy to be with each other, you can tell how much of a dream it is. And then Rufus comes in and at the end, Wyatt turns to kiss her again. THINK ABOUT THAT. They just laugh that it wasn’t a secret and Wyatt turns back to kiss her, both of them so happy and content and probably a little incredulous that this was not a dream, acting like the sweetest couple who just love each other so much, they went from 0 to 60 overnight and it’s amazing, I mean, “be careful,” did you HEAR how soft that was???? I cry. And then Jessica happens and Lucy is heartbroken but trying not to be, and Wyatt is presumptuous in what he meant to her (even though he’s right) and eventually she lashes out at him (thank GOD). They fight it out because it needed to happen, they needed to confront the emotions that were happening. Wyatt not being able to leave his wife because he’s loyal and he does love her, probably always will. Lucy wanting Wyatt to be happy and truly believing that she is not what will make him happy and trying to deal with that while simultaneously dealing with the fact that Wyatt was her person, the one that comforted her and held her and reminded her that she had him when she lost everything. Before they fell in love, they became friends, he became her confidante and the person she talked to about the hardest parts of her life, the one she wanted to talk to. He tells her that he had no regrets because he knows it’s hard for her and he hates hurting her and he knew she needed him to confirm that, but it’s also an amazing bit of progress in his character because his wife is back. The one he’s been pining for, the one he was determined to never move on from, his one person, but he has no regrets because his feelings were genuine. They’re the first to rush to each other’s arms whenever they’re separated (note Wyatt’s super gentle hand on her neck when they didn’t know if she’d be okay), they hug each other so tight, he trusts her and she trusts him even when they don’t agree. And Wyatt’s lost a little of Lucy’s trust this season, but she is also the first to believe in him. The first to defend him. She is as betrayed as everyone else that Wyatt had doubts and didn’t tell them, but does she attack him like everyone else? No. She defends him. She supports him even after everything falls apart. And then there’s all the stuff happening with Flynn… Flynn came in at her most vulnerable, when she had opened herself up again, fallen into this safety with Wyatt, and then lost it. Losing the romance would be hard, but Wyatt was her confidante, he was more than just someone she had feelings for. She loved him more deeply than that. And up until that point, Flynn hadn’t shown any interest in Lucy while at the bunker. He was too busy isolating himself from the group, and before that, being rude and manipulative in prison. He offers her a beer and sits with her and gets closer to her while still isolating himself from everyone else, knows that she’s hurting and offers her someone to talk to but (especially since he was probably going to say he’s there because of her) his actions aren’t motivated solely by his caring for her. He knows she’s hurting and needs someone and takes that opportunity to work himself in. Rittenhouse used Jessica because that was the way to exploit not only Lucy’s feelings for Wyatt, but Flynn’s feelings for Lucy. Flynn becomes the person she relies on because she feels she has nobody and he’s there for her, but it’s not a strong romantic foundation. It isn’t something that has grown naturally, Lucy started in a very hurt place and it’s so easy to misattribute that attraction as well as what it could mean. He also has read a lot of things about her, and it’s hard to believe he wouldn’t be a little infatuated with someone who came from the future (especially someone as beautiful as Lucy let’s be real). Flynn and Lucy are what Wyatt and Lucy were when they almost kissed in 2x01, it wouldn’t have been right because there were other things going on; it isn’t about the two of them. I’m not anti-Flynn, but his storyline seems to have been abandoned. We don’t see much more of what he’s doing, what he wants, the season one storyline has been somewhat dropped. He isn’t developing as a character outside of his relationship with Lucy. Lucy is his obsession in many ways (especially since last season that obsession was Rittenhouse). Wyatt wasn’t obsessed with Lucy; he pushed her away from the beginning, he didn’t want to be vulnerable, didn’t want to feel anything, he wanted to be reckless. But Wyatt finally let go of this confusion, guilt, idea of betrayal in regard to Jessica. He told Lucy he loved her because he couldn’t deny it anymore. He tried so hard to love Jessica because that’s who he is, and it hurt Lucy, but she knew that was who he was and wanted nothing but happiness for him. I know it’s been pointed out that he struck her, and I know it’s not okay, but what’s happened is being misconstrued. He hurt her, yes, but it’s not like they were arguing and then he went to strike her. He and Flynn were fighting, and in the moment, he wasn’t thinking, he was FIGHTING. It wasn’t calculated or dispassionate. He was heated and didn’t think about who was trying to intervene and reacted in a way people often do when they’re grabbed. But there was INSTANT regret because Lucy is his weakness, just as Jessica was (but with a less unhealthy reason behind it). His voice immediately softened and everything with Flynn was forgotten because all that mattered was Lucy. He has been betrayed and hurt and it’s taken this, a second loss of Jessica perhaps even worse than the first, for him to fully accept the illusion of love he was clinging to because he considered moving on to be a failure on his part, a failure to be the loving, loyal husband he promised. When he felt like the death was his fault, when he had doubts about how he could be for Lucy (like he expressed at the Alamo). He needed to go back to Jessica. He never would’ve known how deep his love for Lucy was without it, he never would’ve come to the realization that it’s okay that he moved on, and Lucy wouldn’t have trusted his love either; she’s too smart for that. She would’ve had doubts in the back of her mind if he had chosen her over Jessica, especially given how huge Jessica was to him in season one. It would’ve undermined his loyalty to Lucy because he was so loyal to Jess but didn’t take the chance to be with her. Lucy has been soft, and forgiving, and loving toward him; fiercely loyal. And he’s finally ready to do the same. It’s not fair that she had to be so strong and feel so alone, but she loves him and she had that strength; Wyatt just wasn’t there yet, and as much as that sucks, as much as the timing hurt, it wouldn’t have been fair to Lucy or Wyatt if they had entered a relationship with doubts. But now. Now he KNOWS and can admit it to himself and feel happy about it. He can let go of a love for Jessica while also understanding that it doesn’t make it less special or real, it just means that it’s not part of his life anymore. He loves Lucy. And he’s going to be as fiercely loyal to her as he was to Jessica, even more so. She came into his life and saw him as a person, treated him with empathy, stood up for herself when she needed to but also was gentle and kind so he could heal. His loyalty to Jessica is admirable and it would’ve been out of character for him to drop that for Lucy. But that also means that now that he’s admitted it, Lucy is the one who will experience his undying loyalty and love. She had it before, but this way she knows it. And Lucy Preston deserves that.

Vote for my next Timeless fic:

A new chapter of Private Moments? (fluff! Christmas in ... May? Nope. Actual Christmas.) Probably will be done quicker.

Or, something that’s been rattling in my head that’s post-finale?  Likely won’t get posted until later in the week, because I can’t get the journal issue squared away in my head.

Thoughts?

[alamble23]

Some stray thoughts on last night’s Timeless season finale:

I don’t have the brain space to do a full re-watch tonight; I stayed up MUCH too late checking Twitter and I am TIRED AF.  In no particular order:

One of the things I have really disliked about the Jessica storyline is Tonya Glanz; she and Matt Lanter just don’t have that certain something, and it made it much too easy to buy into the idea of Jessica being Rittenhouse right off the bat. The casting department has hit home runs with so many of the guest/recurring actors, but this was, IMO, a miss.

Loved Matt in the linen suit - I am almost positive it’s based on the original costume design from The Alamo, but I can’t find Mari-An Ceo’s sketches to prove it - and it was a nice little shout-out/in-joke to Matt to have Wyatt introduce himself as Rhett Butler.

Also, nice to have a reminder that Wyatt Logan is an Army-certified weapons expert, and he is VERY GOOD AT THAT PART OF HIS JOB.

Lucy getting caught up in the fight between Flynn and Wyatt and getting hit inadvertently was just SO UNNECESSARY. Like really, Wyatt’s gonna have enough to grovel for, and you gotta tack that onto it?  NO, TIMELESS WRITERS, YOU DONE FUCKED UP THAT ONE. 

I noticed no one has made note of the fact that Lucy gave up her locket to the photo studio owners to pay for the damages? I can’t remember if she took out the photos of Amy or not (I don’t think she did) but either way, that is significant.

Also significant: when Lucy comes after Emma and starts ranting about the people she’s taken away from her, who does she specifically NOT mention?  That’s right, Wyatt.  Because she knows, even if it’s just subconsciously right now, that her bond with Wyatt remains strong. 

I’ll try to have more to say tomorrow night.
