Fic: Night [Drabble by @infiniteeight]
/100words Amnesty Week continues! ||
Prompt 2: Night
The nights were the worst, after the divorce. The days were basically the same, filled with work, which likely had something to do with why his marriage fell apart.
At night, the empty space next to Leonard was an aching reminder of his inadequacy as a partner. He knew the divorce was his own damn fault. Maybe that was why he’d joined Starfleet: endless night seemed a fitting punishment.
Thanks to Jim, it didn’t work out that way. Instead of taking him away from his partner, work put him right by Jim’s side.
Instead of endless night, space was timeless.




I'm reading this as a sort of a prequel-annex to Waiting. Oh, Bones.
!!!
It is entirely possible this drabble is why Waiting got written. I kept trying to think of ways to cram the concept into 100 words and it kept going, "Nope, need more space. Write me."
