She’s up and running the second the thought processes, footsteps pounding against the floor of the airlock, nearly skidding out into the CIC.

Willow pauses only long enough to do a sweep of the people gathered, moving the moment he comes into view, a flash of green and black near the elevator-

We did it, we’re alive, we survived, we have time-!

“Thane!” she shouts, and he turns and starts towards her but she’s not waiting, she can’t wait – she just runs right through the room and flings herself at him, half-tackling him, arms around his neck and legs around his waist, laughing out loud when he staggers but catches her, gripping her just as damn tightly as she’s clinging to him.

“Thank the Gods,” Thane manages, whatever else he may have said cut off when Willow hooks a hand behind his neck and kisses him – a hard press of mouths, desperate and relieved, screaming you’re alive I’m alive we’re alive we’re together.

Feicfidh mé cuimhneamh ort

((I’ll remember you))

I remember our meeting quite well,

A Dangerous Woman and a Dying Man.

Two people fighting through a broken window.

Cath Codlata.

I remember the feeling that overcame me,

The way your dark eyes questioned me.

Gunfire and Explosions.

You were prepared to die, but I wasn’t.

You woke me up, I wanted time.

So much lost time.

Apparently, you woke up too.

Twelve years is a long time,

For us to live broken lives.

Mending that was hard,

Fighting against a ticking clock.

A quiet time bomb.

We never knew when the clock

Would run out.

But love is a give and take

Kind of thing.

You took my heart…

And I gave you my soul…

I was Siha.

You were Mo chroí.
