It's been years since Leopold found himself in modern day New York. An unbelievable story that sounded absolutely ridiculous when he really thought about it. I mean, falling through a time rift? It was outlandish to even think of something like that. But somehow it happened.
He was Alice coming to wonderland, except this time it was all real. He was greatly unhappy back in his time. An Uncle who only cared for money and a looming loveless marriage. He wasn't exactly eager to get back. Kate and Charlie had helped him become acquainted with this world but it wasn't for another couple months that everything really clicked.
It was a random chance, he just happened to have wandered into the library, found himself in a random aisle, and bumped into you. Literally bumped. He was so engrossed in reading that he ran right into you. Making the stack of books in your hand go tumbling to the ground. He apologized profusely, bending down to help you clean when he looked up.
Call it cliché but when he met your eyes something changed. His heart leaped, seeing your adorable smile and kind eyes. You were incredibly kind, telling him that it was alright. He looked like a fool. Not being able to utter a single word as he was taken back by your beauty.
He spotted the name tag, you worked here. He introduced himself and took your hand, kissing your knuckles as he did so. You clamed up, at first he thought he had done something wrong as you squeaked out a thank you and practically ran away from him. He'd learn later that he had just flustered you until you couldn't think.
He kept going back and each time he'd find you there. Flirting with you until the day he finally asked you out. One date turned in to another which turned in to more and more.
In a blink of an eye Leopold life had been forever changed. Instead of the life his uncle wanted he's here. Married to the love of his life and working in a small antique shop. He loves it. He really does. Getting to tinker with oddities and finding homes for trinkets. Coming home to you every night. It was a dream.
"Leo? Are you alright?" He looks up from a book he had found at some shop, an old first edition. Though he really hadn't been reading anything. He must have spent too much time reminiscing. Your apartment was right above his shop so you must have been waiting for him.
"Apologies my darling, I was just thinking." He hums as you walk over and kiss him.
"What were you thinking about?" You ask as you brush his hair back, staring into the gorgeous eyes of your husband.
"It's just, I never thought Iâd be so lucky, especially not in this lifetime.â He confesses.
When his parents passed he believed he was doomed to a life that was governed by others. His own happiness was an afterthought. But then he found this time, he found you. Now everything is changed and he sees himself growing old with you. Every day is better than the last.
"You're such a romantic Leo." You say with a smile. He stands up and kisses you gently.
"It's late my love, go to bed I'll be there soon." He hums.
He steals one last kiss before shooing you off. He takes a look around his shop before turning off the light. Ready to spend another night with you in his arms.
He really is the luckiest man alive.

hi!! Given my obsession for Hugh jackman I am CRAVING for some Leopold X reader (from Kate & Leopold)! Maybe with some little angst but happy ending??
I love your blog!! Have a wonderful day đœđđ
Leopold Mountbatten x fem!reader a/n: I donât know how controversial this is going to be and I donât care. I could never finish the movie because I hated Meg Ryan in it so much. Itâs so odd, Iâve loved her in everything else sheâs been in but she made it such a hard watch. Maybe itâs because she reminds me of my grandma in the worst way lol, but I finished it for you anon sorry this was a little rushed Anyways, hope you enjoy lovelies Summary: Your neighbor went back in time and dragged someone back with him. He's irritatingly polite and far too interested in your way of life. What are you meant to do when you fall for a man who was never even supposed to meet you?
âHello, madam, please I need your help!â
Youâre used to crazies, it is New York after all. But theyâre not usually shouting at you through your window. Especially not when youâre on the sixth floor. You look away from your coffee and glance towards the fire escape.Â
Thereâs an oddly dressed man with red eyes waving at you through the dirty glass. You offer him a tentative wave back and he nods aggressively. âYes, hello, I need your assistance.â
âUm,â you shake your head, âSorry, I donât have any drugs dude.â
âNo,â he places his hands pathetically on the glass and shakes his head. âPlease, I have been kidnapped.â Finally, you take a step closer to him. You can tell now that his eyes arenât reddened from any medicinal fun, he probably got pepper sprayed.Â
Your friend did it to you once when you tried to surprise her on her birthday and youâll never forget just how awful you looked afterwards. You can see him a bit more clearly now. Whatever odd costume heâs got on, it looks good. Genuine and clean.Â
Not like most of the street performers you see in Times Square. Besides, he doesnât have that maddened look in his eye that makes you worry heâs going to come inside and kill you. Tentatively, you open the window.Â
Heâs leaping through in a second and you jump back with a yelp. He turns towards you and his eyes widen before he quickly turns away. âMy good lady, where are your pants?â
âUh,â you glance down at the oversized shirt youâre wearing and the tiny shorts underneath. Admittedly, itâs a little skimpy, but youâre not walking around naked. Youâve heard of committing to the bit, but this is a bit much. âOn,â you tell him, walking around him and trying to stand close to the phone.Â
âMaâam-â Heâs cut off as someone slams their fist on your front door. You keep a weary eye on the man while you unlock your door.Â
âHey,â Stuart smiles at you. His eyes drift slightly past your shoulder and he goes barging into your apartment. âLeopold! What did I say?â
You huff and glare at Stuartâs frantic back. âThis is yours?â Stuart nods and rushes Leopold out the door. You donât miss the pleading, while slightly scandalized, look he sends you.Â
You slam the door closed behind them, shaking your head and going back to your morning paper. You doubt youâll be seeing him around again.Â
You know, itâs just your luck that your upstairs neighbor is a scientist, one who happens to dabble in the art of time travel. And itâs just your luck that he had to fall down a damn elevator shaft.Â
Now, according to him, you have to care for someone from a different century so he can make it back to his time portal in, well, in time. This is fucking ridiculous. âIâm going to kill you, Stuart.â
âLook, theyâre going to take my phone but he really cannot-â
It goes silent on the other end. You shout his name a few times but hear nothing in response. You assume the hospital staff has finally gotten sick of his shenanigans and has taken his phone. You slam your handset down with a huff and look towards the living room. Leopold hasnât sat down since you walked in and itâs unsettling.Â
âSo,â you start and his attention snaps towards you. â1876, huh?â
He nods and you roll your eyes with a scoff. âOh, this is insane. This is insane,â you mutter to yourself, walking towards Stuartâs door. Leopold gives you a concerned look before quickly following after you. Thereâs a part of you, and you hate that part, that actually believes some of this.Â
Stuart is a brilliant, though flawed, scientist. You donât doubt that he might have actually unlocked the secret to traveling back to the past, but itâs such an insane idea to try and wrap your head around.Â
âCome on, weâre leaving.â You know that Stuart doesnât want him out of the house. Tough. Youâre not going to just stay inside and wait until he can supposedly go back to the past. You donât give Leopold any time to process your answer, already out the door and heading towards the stairs.Â
âYou know,â he starts as he catches up to you. âYou are quite rude.â Your first instinct is to snap back at him. But you take a breath and stop yourself.Â
Youâre desensitized, ridiculously used to just how awful New Yorkers can be to each other. And whether this man is truly from the past or not is up for debate. But he is polite and earnest, and you have no reason to be a bitch to him.Â
âIâm,â the words are hard to come by but you force them out anyway, âIâm sorry.â He looks genuinely surprised by the apology and it only makes you feel worse. âThis is just an insane idea to try and grasp.â
He chuckles softly, smiling as he glances down at his feet. âYes, how do you think I feel?â
Youâre sure itâs not his intention, but you only feel like more of an ass. If this is hard for you, whatever he's going through is a hundred times worse. You werenât forcefully ripped out of your own time and shoved into another you donât understand. Heâs still trying to comprehend the television.
Though, youâre sure being a scientist has helped him in marginally understanding how all of this is possible. âHow do you like the future?â It sounds awkward and stiff, but you havenât had to talk to anyone in a really long time.Â
Your interactions are pretty limited at the book shop considering no one ever comes in. They all order online nowadays and all you really have to worry about is organizing shelves. Youâre embarrassingly rusty when it comes to conversing.Â
And his propensity towards eloquence only makes you feel worse. âI must admit, some of your inventions have been quite fascinating. Iâm especially fond of your showers.â
Your face scrunches slightly at the mention of hygiene and you nod, âI bet.â Before either of you can attempt to salvage this horrible attempt at conversation your phone starts ringing. âHold on one second,â you tell him. You walk a few feet away from him but you can still feel his eyes boring into your back as you move away.Â
âHello?â
Thereâs a frantic shout of your name down the line and then the distinct jingling of keys. âI need you to cover the shop. Marcy just went into labor and Iâve got to go!â Paul doesnât give you a chance to respond before he hangs up.Â
Your jaw gapes and you stare down at your phone with shock. You know Paul and his wife had been expecting, but had it really already been nine months? Has your life become so monotonous and dull that nine months doesnât even register for you?
Itâs a depressing thought. One youâd rather not linger on. âWhat was that?â
You scream, though the people passing by donât pay you any mind, and jump away from Leopold. âJesus, where the hell did you come from?â
Leopold flinches away from you and his face is just as aghast as yours. âGood heavens, what is the matter with you? Do you respond to anything as a sensible woman might?â
âI resent that.â You tell him bitterly. Though, he does make a good point. Youâve been on edge constantly. You always seem to be more anxious than you are happy. Itâs not a good state to perpetually exist in. âI need to go into work.â
You donât want to outright say that he needs to go back to the apartment. It feels a little mean, but youâre hoping heâll catch onto your tone of voice.Â
His entire demeanor perks up and he smiles at you. âWonderful, I am dreadfully curious as to what you do.â
You open your mouth to correct him, let him know heâs not coming. But heâs staring at you with such hopeful eyes that you cannot find it in yourself to turn him down. He seems so excited, youâre sure he wonât be when he gets to your cluttered little bookshop. You let out a weary sigh, âFine. Okay.â
You walk towards the curb, hoping to hail a cab. But Leopoldâs hand gently wraps around your elbow and tugs you in the opposite direction. Your eyes widen in response to his boldness. You thought touching a woman he wasnât courting would cause someone like him to combust. Seems he didnât mind breaking the rules sometimes.Â
You make a mental note of that for later. You donât know what youâre going to do with the information, but you find it intriguing. Maybe the modern world was rubbing off on him more than heâd like to admit.Â
âWe should take this,â he stops you in front of a horse-drawn carriage and you immediately begin to shake your head.Â
âNo, Leopold, these are just tourist traps-â
He doesnât let you finish, opening the carriageâs door and gently nudging you inside. âNonsense! This is far more enjoyable than those yellow monstrosities.â
âTaxi,â you correct. You turn towards the carriage driver and give him directions to your bookshop. âInk and Tea on Fifth.â He nods and the carriage rolls forward with a lurch. You grip the cushioned seats and pray you donât get motion sickness.Â
âInk and Tea?â Leopold inquires. âAre you a journalist?â
You smile and shake your head. âNo, nothing so fancy. I just help take care of an old bookshop. They were supposed to extend the shop when it first opened. They were going to build a space for people to get pastries or drink tea, but it never happened and the owner was too lazy to change the name.â
It feels a little humiliating to be talking about your minimum-wage job to a renowned scientist. Heâs invented or is going to, elevators. He doesnât care about your stupid shop. But he doesnât look particularly judgy of you. If anything he seems to be endeared to you the more you talk.Â
Normally, youâre oblivious to these sorts of things. But itâs nearly impossible for him to hide. Heâs not shy with his attraction, never taking his eyes off of you and hanging onto your every word. Youâre not used to such outward attention.Â
You look out of the carriage, pretending to take in views youâve already seen a thousand times. âThis city is incredible,â he wonders aloud. His awe is palpable.Â
Your nose wrinkles and you shrug. âItâs dirty and the people are intolerable.â
âMust you always be so pessimistic?â You snap your mouth shut and feel embarrassment creeping around you. Youâve never had someone point out when youâre being negative, but he has a point.Â
You used to view the city through the same rose-colored glasses. Somethingâs broken inside you in recent years that has just taken the joy out of life. Everything is grey to you now, until Leopold, nothing spectacular has ever really happened to you.Â
The carriage comes to a stop outside the shop before you can respond to him. You want to deny what he says, but you canât. Your attitude is almost always unnecessary. You think sometimes you might just be trying to see if everyone feels as miserable as you do or if thereâs just something wrong with you.Â
âCome on,â you tell him, getting out and paying the driver. He wanders towards the shop, eyeing the displays in the window curiously.Â
âThese are wonderful,â he tells you, pointing to the way youâd made the books look like theyâre floating above the shelves. It was just some silly little thing youâd tried to get more people in the shop. Itâd worked for about a month.Â
âI did that,â you unlock the door to the shop and open it for him. But he doesnât walk in immediately, instead, he lingers in the doorway. He offers you a soft smile and you canât help but return it.Â
âYouâre more creative than you give yourself credit for.â
Your eyes widen as you watch him walk inside. He keeps making these oddly astute observations about you and itâs throwing you off your game. You barely know this man and youâve always been good at keeping yourself aloof and vague. Yet, he seems to read you like youâre wearing your heart on your sleeve.Â
âFeel free toâŠâ heâs already made himself comfortable somewhere in the back and you trail off. âLook around,â you finish lamely. His form is lost somewhere in stacks of books and cluttered shelves.Â
You know most of the classics and history books are kept towards the back. You wonder if heâs reminiscing or getting a headstart before he gets back to his time. You smile at the thought and walk behind the counter, sitting on the stool and preparing to finish off the rest of the day.
Leopold is still somewhere lost to you an hour later. Occasionally youâll hear a page flip or the clatter of a book being reshelved, but there are no other signs of life. Not until the bell above the door rings.Â
âClark,â you smile, sitting up straighter as your friend walks through the door. âWhatâre you doing here?â
He gives you a crooked grin and shrugs. Just over his shoulder, you can see Leopoldâs head pop over a shelf, he looks between you both, eyes narrowing with disdain. âPaul told me youâd be here, figured you might want some company.â
âActually-â you start, but another voice cuts you off.Â
âLeopold Mountbatten,â he comes around the corner, hand outstretched as he comes in between you and Clark. âAnd who might you be?â
Your brows furrow in confusion at the interaction. Leopold seems oddly hostile and Clark looks strangely caught off guard. âUm, Clark. Nice to meet you, man.â He shakes Leopoldâs hand but his grip is weak and it only lasts for one awkward half-second.Â
Itâs uncomfortable to watch them try and interact and it only gets worse when they turn towards you. Clearly, they want you to tell them who the hell the other guy is. But you feel like that might just make the situation worse.Â
Besides, you were pretty content with it just being you and Leopold, you donât need Clark coming in here and riling things up. âYou know, Clark, Iâm set here. You can just go home.â Your tone leaves no room for argument but you know he wants to.Â
âAlright, Iâll just call you later, I guess.â He throws one last skeptical look at Leopold before finally slinking back out of the shop.Â
âNeither of you should be alone without a chaperone present.â Leopold bluntly scolds you without even waiting a second before Clark is gone. It catches you off guard and you scoff.Â
You motion between the two of you, âWe donât have a chaperone.âÂ
Leopold shrugs, âYes, well, Iâm not courting you.â It shouldnât, because heâs right, but that stings. He is attractive, surprisingly so. You have this odd belief that anyone from his century had to be at least a little ugly. But heâs near perfect.Â
Hearing him tell you so bluntly that youâre not courting hurts a little. Though, you canât blame him. You must be dramatically different than the women heâs used to. From your manners to how you dress, youâre practically an alien.Â
You stand up from behind the counter and walk towards the cart of books that need to be shelved. âClark is a friend. Nothing more.â Youâve never once been romantically interested in your friend. Heâs attractive, but heâs not really your type.
Apparently, British men from the nineteenth century are. Which does not bode well for your romantic prospects once Leopold is back home. âIt is plain for anyone to see how he wants you. Donât let yourself be blinded by naivete.â
âNaivete?â you scoff and turn around to glare at him. âDonât pretend to know anything about me, alright? Iâm not some maiden in a frilly dress who needs a chaperone.â You can see that your words affect him. He looks a little taken aback by your anger and so are you.Â
Itâs misplaced. Youâre not mad at him, just mad that you even like him. âJust go read or something, Leopold.â You dismiss him more rudely than necessary and hide yourself behind a few shelves. The rest of your workday is spent in a tense silence that makes your stomach churn.Â
Youâre nearly ready for bed when something slips under your door with a slight whoosh. You turn towards it, frowning when you see a little envelope with a wax seal on the ground. You pick it up and let your finger slip under the paper, opening it to find a letter with your name on it inside.Â
The handwriting is impeccable, with a gracefulness to it that youâve never seen before. You donât have to read for very long to know who it's from. Leopold writes poetry about the color of your eyes and the way your lips curl when you smile. And then he ends it with a vague, nearly ominous, invitation to dinner.Â
You canât help but smile to yourself, changing out of your pajamas and slipping into something a little nicer. A few minutes later youâre climbing out your window and taking the stairs up the fire escape to the roof.Â
You donât believe your ears at first, thinking the music must be coming from another apartment. But when you make it up to the roof thereâs a violin player there waiting for you. He smiles happily at you as you approach.Â
You spin in a slow circle, taking in the sheer amount of flowers littered around the roof. You donât know how he managed to afford all of this. He transformed the barren and empty rooftop into your own little paradise. Candles lit and a live musician playing for you.Â
Youâve never had anyone do something like this for you, ever. Itâs a little hard to accept that someone would be willing to put this much effort in for you. âI wasnât entirely sure you would come.â
You turn around and Leopold is waiting behind you, that familiar smile playing on his lips. You arenât aware of the grin forming on your face in response. You donât have much control over that when youâre with him.Â
âWhy wouldnât I?â
He looks like he wants to respond but at the last moment thinks better of it. He instead pulls your chair out for you, helping you into your seat. âThis is nice,â that feels too underwhelming a word for such an incredible gesture.Â
You sigh and frown as you try and find the right words. You donât notice him sitting down across from you. You only look up when you feel him placing his hand on your own. âItâs alright,â he assures you.Â
Itâs still so odd how he can know you so well after such little time. âThis is incredible,â you tell him, undeterred by his attempts to soothe you. âNo oneâs ever done something like this for me.â
He looks like he takes personal offense to that and it makes you laugh. âYou deserve far more than this. Sadly, it seems Stuartâs pockets do have limits and Iâm afraid I would have put him into debt if Iâd gone any further.â
You have the perfect mental image of Stuart coming back from the hospital only to find his science project has robbed him. It makes you laugh and you squeeze his hand once before drawing it back into your lap. He lets his touch linger on you for a long moment, seemingly reluctant to pull away.Â
âNo,â you tell him, âthis is perfect.âÂ
You fall into a comfortable silence for a little while. Conversation mostly drifting toward what his life was like as a duke. You donât have much to say about your own life. Itâs been incredibly normal and youâre a little sad to find that you donât have one good thing to share with him.Â
Nothing comes to the front of your mind.Â
Inevitably, you drift into the topic youâd both been so adamantly avoiding. âHas Stuart said when youâd need to return?â
Leopoldâs grip on the fork tightens and for a moment he refuses to meet your eye. âMonday, Iâm afraid.â
âOh,â your eyes widen and you feel something burning at the back of your throat. Monday, the same Monday thatâs two days away.Â
âDance with me,â the suddenness of the demand catchers you so off guard that you forget the tears. He stands, holding out his hand to you. You almost say no, you canât remember the last time you danced and you doubt itâs going to be pretty.Â
But he whispers your name and something about his tone tells you to take the chance while you have it. You slip your hand into his, letting him pull you to your feet. He doesnât sweep you off your feet and dance the night away.Â
Instead, he holds you close and you sway together. Like moving even an inch away from each other would hurt. âYou could come with me,â he tells you. And you know immediately what heâs talking about.Â
You also know it could never happen. Going to the nineteenth century is insane. Even considering it should be enough to have you sent to a psych ward somewhere. Especially not for a man youâve known for less than a month.Â
You try and tell him that you canât, but he stops you. âI know, a preposterous idea. I just wanted to think about it.â You look up at him and find that you canât take that away from him. Thereâs nothing wrong with imagining what it could be like with him. Even when you know it can never happen.Â
You dance like that for a little while longer, swaying against each other while the violin plays in the background. He whispers your name and when you gaze up at him this time, thereâs a certain look in his eye that you know is reflected in your own.Â
He dips down, lips caressing yours gently before heâs pushing more firmly against your own. The world stops. Cliche, youâre aware. For the first time in years, though, youâre alive. You feel something other than the dull monotony of life. You feel excited and terrified all at once. Because you know you can never have this feeling again.Â
You will never meet another man like Leopold who ignites this spark of life and passion within you. Never has a man been able to make you doubt every decision youâve ever made with just a kiss, but here he is.Â
Your arms lift like you might try and draw him in closer. His hands come up, taking yours in his gentle hold and squeezing. He pulls away from you and reality comes crashing back down. Youâre not in love, you canât be. Youâve only just met him a few days ago.Â
Yet, here you are, wondering if you might actually want to leave everything behind to be with him like the great romances authors write about. He smiles at you and thereâs a bittersweetness to it, a final farewell that you know will break whatever is left of your heart.Â
He lifts your knuckles to his lips, pressing his lips against them like he never wants to part. âGoodnight,â he whispers your name and backs away from you. You watch him go, watch him leave, unable to muster up any words for him.Â
You canât think of anything that would ease this gnawing ache inside of you. Nothing to soothe the pain for either of you. You let him go because you know if you asked him to stay he would. And how selfish of you would it be to let history unravel simply because you fell in love?Â
Monday. It is Monday. Youâve been coming to terms with that all weekend. You don't want to think about the fact that Leopold will be gone tonight. Your time together was so brief but you feel like youâre never going to get over losing him.Â
Before the night was over on Sunday, a note was slipped under your door. This handwriting was messy, it made you think someone other than Leopold had written it down, but you donât know who it could have been.Â
It was a date and time, jump off the Brooklyn Bridge at this time on Monday night. Only an idiot would jump off a bridge because of an ominous note slipped under her door. But you havenât been able to take your eyes off of it, not since you first picked it up.Â
Leopold had invited you to go with him. And while you might not have said no, the insinuation was clear. Your eyes dart to your clock. If you left now, you could still make it in time. What an absolutely ridiculous thought.Â
So, why are you running out the door without locking it? Why do you not care who slips into your home now? Thereâs this sense of finality within you that lets you know youâre never going to see that place again and thatâs okay.Â
You never truly felt comfortable in your life. You always thought a part of yourself was missing. Or that you were always running late for something. You think you understand what you were feeling now.Â
The thing youâve been searching for your whole life wasnât halfway across the world, a hundred thousand miles from you. He was on the wrong side of time, or you were, at least.Â
You manage to snag a taxi to get to the bridge but thereâs a traffic jam. Youâre forced to jump out of the car and run through the different lanes of blocked traffic. People shout at you. Your cab driver screaming after you about your fare. You donât care, the only thing you can think about is the note crumpled in your hands and the clock counting down how long you have to jump.Â
Youâll either be on the news tomorrow as an unfortunate suicide. An idiot who accidentally threw herself off the wrong side of the bridge. Or, youâll see Leopold again.Â
You reach the ledge and you canât hesitate. If you do, you wonât jump in time. You close your eyes, holding your breath like youâre jumping into your neighborâs pool. Air rushes around you, whipping at your hair and skin violently.Â
Itâs not until you hear someone shouting down at you that you realize youâre not dead. Youâre lying in the middle of a dirt road, a group of people staring down at you with concern in their eyes.Â
You only have to take in the clothes theyâre wearing to know youâve made it. Before they can react youâre leaping to your feet and running off. You know youâre near the Brooklyn Bridge, or where itâs supposed to be at least. You know enough about the area to remember where Leopoldâs house is supposed to be.Â
Youâre covered in sweat and red mud. The people you pass by in the streets hide behind their hands and whisper about you. Youâre not making a good impression on your future neighbors, thatâs for sure. But, honestly, all you care about is making it back to him.Â
You see people congregating outside his uncleâs home. You know thereâs a party inside, that heâs supposed to be announcing who his wife will be. You barrel through the people outside, shoving through the crowd and running up the steps of the house.Â
You can hear Leopoldâs voice as you run, âThe woman Iâm going to take as my wife is-â
Thereâs a loud gasp as you come panting into the room. You canât catch your breath long enough to speak but it doesnât matter. The crowd is parting around you and Leopold is smiling down at you. He says your name and thereâs nothing else that matters about the world around you. Not when you finally found each other.Â

a timeless encounter
a/n: this is my first Leopold Mountbatten fic you guys !! iâm rlly excited but disappointed bc i havenât seen a lot of fics under this tag :( im sad cause heâs my dream man and i NEED more of him (thatâs why i made this đ) anyways lovelies, as always i take requests but lemme know what you thinkđ
summary: as the owner of a small cafe in New York that you hate, you donât expect anybody to change your mind. But the strange-dressed man who wonders into the cafe one day may change your mindâŠ
warnings: Leopold Mountbatten x f! reader, southern! reader, not spellchecked
The line in the cafe is piled up. When you hear the bell ding tediously, announcing another customer, you almost groan. You keep your head positioned on the lady in front of you, half listening as she drones on about what she got last time.
You continue conversing, almost forgetting about the person who just walked in, when an accented voice pulls you out of your thoughts.
âGood day. I am Sir Leopold Mountbatten. How do you do?â
Your head turns to the side as you look to him. Surprised that he has walked to the front of the line, skipping about 10 waiting people, you almost scoff.
When you glance at him more closely and notice the strange clothes heâs wearing, your eyebrows crease. When he introduces himself and asks you, how do you do?, confusion rises to your face.
Keeping a calm, but confused face, you go to respond. âIâm sorry sir, there is a very long line of people waiting. Do you mind going to the back and waiting your turn?â
Leopold looks around, realizing the error he made. He turns back towards you with a sheepish expression on his face. "I apologize, I was not paying due attention."
He glances around, noticing the queue of people waiting. "It appears there are quite a few individuals waiting in line. I shall take my place at the end of the line. Do forgive my oversight."
You nod your head in confusion, agreeing to whatever heâs saying so he listens to you. You watch as he retreats to the back of the line. Shall? Do forgive? You think in your head as you question his strange choice of language. Itâs nothing like the people in New York. You were lucky if you even got a thank you, which is nothing like the south, where you were raised.
Meanwhile you continue helping the female customer whoâs still gabbing on about what drink she got from the menu last time. Still your mind wonders to the strange man who walked through the cafe doors.
Leopold patiently waits in line, studying the establishment with a mixture of curiosity and wonder, taking in the scents of hot drinks, the lone woman behind the counter.
As he waits, he canât help but wonder what you think of him, your confusion evident in your expression. He glances at you every now and then, waiting for his turn to approach the counter.
Nodding as the woman finally decides what she wants, you move to take the next customerâs order. You continue this until the line dwindles down, the next person in line being the strange man.
Putting a small smile on your face, youâre sure he can read that itâs not entirely genuine due to your stressed and frazzled appearance.
âHey sir, what can I get for you today?â
The strange manâLeopold was his name, right?âglances at you with a kind smile. âGood day. I shall have a cup of your finest black tea please, if you would be so kind.â
He glances across the counter to you, taking in your stressed appearance, his expression betraying a hint of concern.
You nod and jot down the order on your frayed notebook before telling him the total. He reaches into his pocket, retrieving a few coins to pay for the tea.
Looking up to him, your mind is baffled with curiosity and wonder. He notices your confusion and gives you a small questioning smile. Your mouth moves before your brain can tell it to stop.
âYouâre not from around here, are you?â
His eyebrows furrow in surprise before he clears his throat gently. âIndeed, I travel from afar. I hail from the city of Albany originally... Why do you ask?"
Your eyebrows raise in surprise as you turn around to prepare the tea on the counter behind you. Glancing over your shoulder absentmindedly but still curious, you respond.
âThe clothes. Oh and the accent. But you do know Albanyâs the capital of New York? So that wouldnât make you a traveler from âafarâ⊠Or British.â
Leopold chuckles at your abruptness, amused by your observation. You zone in on his face, the small crinkle of crows feet in the corners of his eyes as he smiles widely. "Ah yes, my attire. I am quite well aware of Albany's status as the capital of New York. I was referring to the era I originate from. I hail from the year...â
He pauses, a little uncomfortable as the next words come out of his mouth. You urge him on silently, turning from preparing the tea to instead lean against the counter.
He continues with a slight gulp, ââ1876. That is what I meant by saying I am not from around here."
Your body pauses as you lean against the counter. Hoping to not show a reaction, you go back to the forgotten tea, starting to pour it. Your mind is reeling, wondering if heâs being truthful or if heâs just a strange crackhead that managed to wander in.
Blinking a couple times, you place the pot down once you are finished pouring and turn to him incredulously. â1876. Youâre from 1876.â
Leopold stands straighter at this, wanting to see your reaction and more importantly wanting to see if youâll believe him. He tries to put on an easy smile, boarderline smirk to suppress his nerves. âIndeed, I am. I assume you do not believe me, my lady?â
Blinking rapidly, you turn back around to grab the ceramic teacup from the other counter. Grabbing it and placing it in front of him, your voice almost wobbles as you place your hands on your hips.
âYouâre not goinâ through some sort of psychosis or somethinâ, right? Or youâre not like a really good street performer in character?â
Leopold takes the mug daintily from the counter, lifting it to his lips and taking a sip as he nods. He hums as he takes his first sip of the tea, almost distracted by how good it is. âNo, my lady. I assure you I am neither a person dealing with mental illness nor a skillful street performer. I am very much real, and am not pretending in the slightest. I can provide you with further proof if you require it.â
A teasing scoff comes out of your mouth before you can stop it. A small smile appears on your face as you cross your arms. âI donât need your whole life story, hon. I just met you.â
Leopold nods a little, the tips of ears ears almost reddening as he almost doesnât catch your teasing tone. When it registers, he can almost scoff at your comment, but canât help himself from smiling at your wit.
You glance down at the glass counter, an idea popping in your head before you can stop it. Before your brain can tell your body to stop, you bend down and grab a blueberry muffin. Placing it on a small plate, you hand it to him with a soft smile. âWell Iâve always wanted a man from the 19th century to try my desserts. On the house.â
He accepts the blueberry muffin with a gracious nod. âI appreciate your generosity, my lady. However, I must insist you allow me to pay for it. It doesnât seem right, accepting something âon the house.ââ
You shake your head, biting your lip to hold back a giggle. Smiling widely at him, you lean back on the counter. âPlease just take the muffin and sit downâŠâ
Leopold takes his muffin, tea, and your instruction to sit down, and finds an empty table in a quiet corner of the cafe. He sits down, taking a moment to examine the surroundings, his eyes landing on you, busy at work at the counter.
Looking down at the muffin, Leopoldâs stomach grumbles in response to the delicious scent wafting up to him. He takes a small bite, the sweetness of the blueberry muffin filling his mouth. He lets out a satisfied hum, savoring the taste.
Now wiping down the counters, you watch the customers eat peacefully as the full cafe comes to a lull. You turn to restock inventory and leisurely take customer orders, almost forgetting the strange man supposedly from 1876.
Glancing down at the wall clock thatâs nudged in the cozy wall of the cafe, you sigh knowing that you need to clean this entire place before you can go home. While you know working at the cafe may be a dream for some people, you are too busy with the hope for something better.
Owning this cafe was just a enclosed way for your late father to trap you. After he passed, he left it to you instead of your mother. Since they had been divorced for a while it made sense, but it was his last wish to spite her. Now this place is just a constant reminder of the crippling debt, unpaid loans, and quitting employees he left.
Taking out your troubles on the counters as you go back to wiping, you barely notice a pair of eyes on you. Leopold watched you as you work, observing your routine in the cafe. The slight tick of his pocket watch indicates that it's getting late. He takes another sip of his tea, watching as the last few customers start to trickle out of the cafe. Once they're gone, he steps back up to the counter.
"Excuse me, my lady. You'll be closed soon, yes?"
Emerging from around the counter, you pass him and walk to the space filled with tables. You move gracefully, picking up empty dishes and cups that people have left. Leopold walks behind you, watching as you gather the dishes.
His mind urges him to take the dishes from your hands, anything to help make it easier for you. He stills, patiently waiting for his answer while holding his hands out to assist you. Absentmindedly you nod, not noticing his outstretched hands.
âYep, in about 20 minutes.â
He nods, clearing his throat gently. His eyebrow raises curiously before answering. âI see. And youâll be closing up and cleaning by yourself? Where is your waitstaff?â You sigh, your chest rising and falling with exhaustion before answering with a teasing lift.
âNo waitstaff, I own it. Currently taking applications though if your friends from the 19th century wanna help outâŠâ
A small smile played on Leopoldâs lips at your comment as he let out a small chuckle. Your eyes lift to his, listening to the deep rumble of his chuckle. Through his small laugh he responds, âI doubt any of my acquaintances from the 19th century would be able to assist even if they wanted to. Their knowledge certainly won't be up to standard here."
You nod with a small smile on your own lips, noticing as the plates start to get heavier in your arms. You adjust them, wanting to continue your easy conversation with Leopold, but he easily notices your discomfort. He steps closer, his arms outstretched.
"Might I offer my assistance, my lady?"
Your arms, filled to the brim with dishes, quake. Before you even nod your head, he moves to take the dishes from your hands. The huge pile of dishes seem almost small in his huge hands. You have to stop yourself from gawking down at them, instead moving to a small closed door that leads to the kitchen.
Turning slightly to the man with a smile, you try to open the small doorway wide so he can get in easily. The door sticks, giving you a hard time as you try to open it. You speak over your shoulder to him, half embarrassed and half frustrated.
âThank you so muchâIâm sorry, this ole thing gets stuck all the time and itâs annoying when you carrying a loadâa dishes.â
Leopold just nods, a patient smile on his face as he waits. You open the door with a harsh pull as you open it enough for him to pass. He looks to you with a question and you guide him to the sink where the dishes go. After he sets down the dishes, his eyes remain on you, an earnest and determined expression on his face.
"Is there anything else I can assist with? I am at your disposal, my lady."
You almost flush at his words, used to honey, maâam, and even sugar from your hometown, but my lady seeming completely different. Wiping your hands on your worn apron, you shake your head with a smile.
âMy lady, huh? You sure do know how to make a lady feel special⊠But no, I got it. You should be focusinâ on how to get back to the 19th century. Seems a more pressinâ situation to get back to where youâre from..â
Leopold grins at your response, standing with his hands clasped behind his back as he listens to you. He question softly, his eyes fixed on you.
âPerhaps it is a pressing matter to get back to oneâs home, but what about yourself? Earlier this evening, you asked about my own accent, but now I am wondering about yours.â
Turning away from him, you go to the large sink. You turn on the water, starting to wash the dishes, not noticing Leopold coming beside you. You stare down at the dishes as you respond, âIâm from Georgia.â
He nods, humming with sincerity. He goes to open his mouth to ask another question, but you turn to him, holding up a soapy hand to stop him. âYâknow you donât have to stay here, I canât pay you. You should be goinâ on your way.â
He shakes his head with a neutral smile on his face. He stands with his hands clasped behind his back as he leans forward towards you. âPerhaps. However, I simply cannot leave you to close and clean the cafe by yourself. It wouldnât be very gentlemanly of me.â
You wipe your hands on your apron and they find their way to your hips. Your southern accent slips out heavily, frustration evident. âI assure you, Iâm fine. You should be goinâ on your way Mr...â You pause, hoping for him to repeat his name.
ââSir Leopold Mountbatten.â Leopold raises an eyebrow at your stubborn insistence, amused by your southern character. He continues, his voice lifting with a smile.
âAnd I have no doubt you can handle closing up on your own, my lady. But that does not mean you should have to.â He pushes off the doorframe, taking a step closer to you.
"Please, allow me to help. I cannot leave knowing you'll be here for the next few hours, finishing up all by yourself."
You almost smile at his insistence, but push it down. You walk past him towards the heavy, brown door which leads to the main entrance. You open the door with a grunt and hold it open for him. With a small smile, you place your hands on your hips. The twang comes out of your voice when you speak softly to him.
âWell, yes you can and you will. Thanks for the offer, honâŠâ Leopold looks at you with a mixture of disappointment and acceptance in his eyes. He nods, a small smile playing at the corner of his lips.
"Very well, my lady. If you're certain you don't need any aid, I shall take my leave then."
He takes an unnecessary large step in your direction before pausing in front of you, his eyes lingering on your face for a moment. Without a word, he lowers himself into a deep bow, his eyes never leaving your face.
"Farewell, my lady."
Your eyes narrow with confusion as he bows, but you nod and laugh softly in response. âBye-bye LeopoldâŠâ
You watch as he hesitantly walks through the door to the main entrance. He turns back to you with doe eyes, giving you another opportunity for you to accept his offer, then leaves when you shake your head with a smile.
Leopold gives a final wave before stepping outside, the heavy cafe door closing slowly behind him. He pauses for a moment outside, gazing at your silhouette through the glass, a hint of reluctance in his eyes.
With a resigned sigh, he forces himself to turn away from the cafe, his footsteps heavy as he starts walking down the sidewalk. He mentally scolds himself for his impulsiveness and foolishness.
While you clean, you think of the strange man. You wish you accepted his offer. Or his telegram number.. you laugh to yourself at your stupid joke as you continue to scrub the counters.
Hours later, you finally finish. Grabbing your purse, you go to your house, and fall into a deep sleep. Filled with dreams of the 19th century and a man who is almost 150 + years older than you, you sleep more peacefully than you ever had before.
For Leopold, as the evening descends on the city, he finds himself unable to sleep. His mind is consumed with thoughts of the lady from the cafe. He tosses and turns in his bed, the events of the day replaying in his mind over and over again.
He wonders what she is doing at the moment. Is she asleep in her bed? Is she also lying awake, thinking about him? The questions plague his mind as he continues to lie in bed, struggling to find rest.
With a frustrated sigh, Leopold finally sits up in his bed. He throws the covers off and gets up, pacing restlessly in his room. The clock ticks loudly in the background, mocking his insomnia. He runs a hand through his hair, trying to ignore the thoughts of the lady that seem to be etched in his mind.
As the next day approaches, you continue your routine. You get out of bed, your feet cold against the unwelcoming tile of your small apartment. As you walk towards the kitchen, you continue your morning routine; making breakfast, showering, changing, and leaving.
When you finally make your way to the cafe, your anxious and somewhat excited. Secretly, you hope the mysterious man from the past comes back.
As the sun slowly rises, Leopold has still not gotten any sleep. He spent the rest of the night pacing in his room, his thoughts consumed by you. Eventually, he gave up on sleep, seeing as he wouldn't be able to get any.
While he goes about his day, his thoughts still drift back to you. He finds himself missing the warmth and homeliness of the cafe. He knows that he shouldn't, but he can't help it. He decides to pay the cafe another visit, hoping to see you again.
a/n: hey you guys, lemme know what you think pls !! i love Leopold so much so i am so excited to write more (he is my Mr. Darcy) also donât forget i take requests.. anyways lemme know if u want a pt. 2 đ

Hi!! I finally managed to get out of the cruel clutches of studying and write something that's been on my mind for a long time.
I planned that my second writing will be a smut, but I'm not ready for that yet â§ïčâŠ
(English is not my first language! There may be grammatical or/and punctuation mistakes)
.âąâ
âą.
â
It doesn't really matter where exactly you heard about pheromone perfume: from friends, colleagues or a silly video on the Internet. The main thing is that the idea to buy it and see Leopold's reaction has literally entered your head. And as soon as the bottle of perfume was in your hands, you immediately decided to try it out. You had some doubts, because.... Really? Pheromone perfume? That's ridiculous.
â
Unsurprisingly, Leopold immediately noticed the change in your perfume.
"You smell different today."
"Is that bad?"
"No, of course not. You smell wonderful."
â
Leo had shown his affection physically before, but now it has became a little more spontaneous. He's staying a little closer to you. Not so much that he was violating your personal space, but enough that his nose could smell those sweet notes of your new perfume.
â
In public, he didn't allow himself anything beyond his upbringing (he's not a huge fan of PDA), but at home he allowed himself a little more than just standing closer next to you.
â
Leopold began to approach you from behind more often, while you were busy doing something. He puts his hands on your waist, pulling you gently to him. He kisses the top of your head caringly as his hands slide down your stomach to hold you closer. His head drops to your shoulder and his nose burrows into the curve of your neck as he inhales your scent. He didn't like to impose or be too clingy, but damn it, how could he resist when you smelled so sweet?
â
Notice the change in his behavior, tease him, and he'll get a little embarrassed.
"Forgive me. It's all your scent. It's like I can't get enough of you. Does it bother you?"
"Nah. Just funny."
Leopold's face lights up with a soft smile when he sees the sly glint in your eyes. He will take your hand in his to bring the back of it to his lips.
"I suppose that's how it was intended?"
(Masterlist)

Pride & Prejudice || Leopold Mountbatten x Reader
Summary: You're an actress auditioning for theatre production of Pride & Prejudice and Leopold finds you practicing your lines.
a/n: Okay so, I need more leopold being an actor and cute moments so this was born. Full confession. I have never watched or read Pride & Prejudice so I am very sorry if I messed up anything aksdfhl. Anyways i hope u like it!!!
The fire escape has to be Leopold's favorite place. He sits on the small chair and watches the bustling city below him. Overwhelming is an understatement when it comes to the last couple weeks.
Falling into the future sounds like a work of fiction, yet it was his reality. Adjusting hasnât been the easiest but heâs lucky to have Kate and Charlie and well, you.Â
âDo you think I could have ever considered marrying the man who has ruined, perhaps forever, the happiness of my beloved sister?â Leopold perks up at the sound of your voice.Â
Youâre Kate's neighbor, kind of. You live below her. Leopold has seen you a few times, mostly when you lock yourself out of your apartment and need to climb through Kate's fire escape. He knows youâre an actor like Charlie but in the day time you work at a coffee shop.Â
You served him once or twice when he came to visit you. Your knowledge of theater is extensive and Leopold always had an interest in the stage so conversation came easy. You also loved movies, something he was completely unfamiliar with. He remembers your eyes lighting up at the very idea of showing him your favorite films. A soft smile across his face as he recalls your many movie nights. Though he didnât quite understand every movie, he could care less when you were so passionate about each and every one of them.
âYou arrogantly and unjustly maneuvered Mr. Bingley away from Jane. Can you deny it?â The dialogue catches his attention, you must be practicing for a show. He climbs down the fire escape to your apartment.Â
âYour mannerâŠUgh!â You fall back onto your couch as you throw the sides onto the coffee table.Â
âIâm never going to get this right.â You groan helplessly.Â
âI thought you sounded lovely.â You let out a small scream as you hear another voice. Turning your head you see Leopold sitting on your fire escape.Â
âLeo! What have I said about knocking?âÂ
âMy apologies.â He climbs through the window and walks over to you. He looks at the pieces of paper and reaches down to pick it up.Â
âPride and Prejudice, I had no idea they turned this into a play.â He flips through some of the pages. He remembers reading the book and enjoying it quite a bit.Â
âHave you gotten the part?â You scrunch your face as you shake your head.Â
âNo. Auditions are next week. IâŠâ You hesitate to continue but he smiles softly and you cave instantly.Â
âI wanted to audition for Elizabeth but a couple friends told me Iâd probably be a better Charlotte.âÂ
Not that you had anything against the character and a part is a part no matter how small, but you wanted to play more than a side character. Leopold's brows furrow as he sets down the script.Â
âNonsense, do not listen to them. I think you would make a perfect Elizabeth.â He compliments sincerely. Of course you would, he thinks. Youâd be perfect in any role.Â
âThanks.â Your eyes drift to the sides on the table. Leopold stands with his arms behind his back, even in casual clothing he radiates this aura unlike anything youâve seen.Â
âYou know Leo,â You smile as an idea pops into your head. âI think you should audition too.â Picturing him as Mr. Darcy is easy. After he did his butter commercial, you realized he was a natural for acting and with his background, heâd be perfect for period pieces. Not to mention how handsome he is. Youâre sure the director would be tripping over himself to get Leopold a role. Leopold seems uncertain at your suggestion.Â
âHere,â You pick up the sides and hand him the one for Mr. Darcy. He skims over the lines and frowns.Â
âI do not recognize this.âÂ
âOh yeah, theyâre from the movie. The director wanted to include his big monologue and the kiss.â You explain, making a mental note to show him the movie later.Â
âI understand wanting to take creative liberties and all butâŠâ Maybe heâs a stickler for the classics but he isnât exactly fond of changing such a well written book.Â
âJust give it a try.â He sighs and stands a bit taller.Â
âYou are too generous to trifle with me. I believe you spoke with my Aunt last night, and it has taught me to hope as I had scarcely allowed myself before.â He looks up from the script and you give him an encouraging smile.Â
âIf your feelings are still what they were last April, tell me so at once. My affections and wishes are unchanged, but one word from you will silence me forever.â You want to melt under his gaze. Itâs not fair how easily the words flow out of his mouth. How naturally charming he is.Â
ââIf, however, your feelings have changedâŠâ To your surprise he sets down the paper and walks closer to you, holding out his hand to you. Hesitantly you take his hand, unsure of where he was going with this. He pulls you up, his eyes never leaving yours.Â
âI could, I would have to tell you, you have bewitched me body and soul,â His hand gently grabs your chin as he steps closer to you. You stand frozen in complete shock. The script is long forgotten, the pages having fallen from his hands.Â
âAnd I love and love and love you. And never wish to be parted from you from this day on.â He finishes his monologue as a whisper. You part your lips but no words come out, wanting to hold onto this moment for longer.Â
âI believe you mentioned a kiss,â He mumbles.Â
âItâs uh, towards the endâŠâ He hums and without another word he gently kisses you.Â
Your eyes flutter closed as you wrap your arms around his neck, pulling him closer. His lips are so soft, so gentle yet so passionate. One of his hands snakes to your lower back, guiding you even closer to him. The kiss breaks and youâre left breathing heavily, smiles on both of your faces.Â
âYouâre really good at this. Maybe you should become an actor.â You say jokingly. He chuckles and brushes his thumb along your cheek.Â
âI was not acting,â He admits.Â
âYou are truly, utterly, bewitching and If you were to accept, I would die a happy man.â Jesus, he knows how to talk.Â
âI would be an idiot to say no to you.â You grab his face and crash your lips onto his. He steps back but quickly matches your fervor.Â
âJoin me for dinner tonight, so I can court you properly.â He says breathlessly, his face slightly flushed.Â
âProperly? So you donât normally kiss a girl before dinner?â You say teasingly.Â
âNo, But for the sake of theater, perhaps I can make an exception.â Thatâs as forward as youâve ever seen from Leopold, an innocent smile on his face but a clear spark in his eyes. Smirking, you glance at the scattered pages on the ground.Â
âGood, because I think we need to run the scene again and again.âÂ

Hi!! I recently had a movie marathon with Hugh Jackman and Leopold really got my soul. This is my first experience in writing headcanons, so I hope you like it (English is not my first language, forgive me for any spelling and punctuation mistakes â„ïčâ„)
.âąâ
âą.
â
At first, when you saw Leopold struggling with modern technology, you thought, "Aww, he's so silly." But then you quickly abandoned this thoughts, cause this guy is a quick learner. One explanation from you is enough for him to understand how to use this or that thing. Leo with a soft smile says that you are a good teacher, but in reality he is very smart. (It's obvious, I know)
â
You like his voice and the way his speech is delivered. He speaks clearly, confidently, often literary. And when you let him know about it, he did not ignore it. Every night before bed, when you two are cuddling and you are almost falling asleep on him, Leopold begins to read poetry to you. His voice is barely louder than a whisper, and his words are sweet as honey. Mostly he reads romantic poems to you and you could already remember them all if you didnât fall asleep almost in the middle of each one. He only stops when he feels your breathing slow down and kisses your forehead softly, whispering "good night".
â
You work from morning until late evening. You donât have the strength to cook anything either before or after work, so you often ate something that could be prepared quickly. Now that you have Leopold in your life, every morning you are greeted with a ready-made breakfast (sometimes even in bed), and in the evening â a warm dinner. He noticed how you work hard, get little rest and don't eat properly, so he took over the cooking.
â
Speaking of evenings after work. Leo loves to pamper you when you get home. He generally likes to pamper you, but the sight of your exhausted face pushes him more towards it. After dinner he will ask you if you would like to take a hot bath. If your answer is yes, get ready for that he wonât let you move a muscle. He will softly massage your scalp while he washes your hair. He will knead the tired muscles of your neck and shoulders while he soaps your body. Along the way, of course, listening to how your day went, if you didnât have enough time to complain during dinner. If your answer is no, well... Nothing changes, he will overwhelm you with his care here too. He'll turn on your favorite show on TV, and while you're lying on the couch, he'll sit next to you, put your legs on his lap and massage your sore feet.
"My princess works too hard. Let me take care of you, you deserve it."
