Summary: He wasn't sure who had who. Maybe it didn't matter anymore as long as they had each other. 6th of my 9-strong tag-on series. Spoilers for 'The Long Reach' (22/02/2020). Each piece can also be read as a stand-alone.
And this is a continuation of my nine strong mini-series, based on the series final, of which I have also copied this intro to save my tired typing fingers! I debated with myself long and hard as to the format for these uploads, but decided in the end each needed to stand on its own as opposed to in a big group. All that's left to say is enjoy!
I've Got Him – Scott
He thought it was over as the planetoid broke apart beneath him, swallowing his feet and pulling him under, even as he made his best efforts to grip onto the rock faces to no avail.
He hadn't come all this way to die, right?
But even with everything falling down around him, he didn't fall, he flew.
It was what he was best at. But this time, he couldn't have done it on his own, and he wasn't alone now.
He flew with so much more care for once, his arm wrapped around a solid form in the same matching blue as he, just worn and tattered; a little battered, but ultimately tangible.
He'd waited so long to be able to hold onto something which wasn't his pillow in place of his Father.
He thought he'd never get this moment. That any of them would get this moment.
This moment to fly out of the Ort Cloud with him.
He was thinking of his brothers, of course he was, but that didn't mean he wasn't also thinking of Dad, when he stated with great relief,
"I've got him!"
When really it should have been, he got me.
