Primeval drabble: Thoughts On Christmas

Title: Thoughts On Christmas
Author: knitekat
Word Count: 100
Characters: James Lester
Rating: 12
Disclaimer: Primeval belongs to Impossible Pictures. Certainly not me. Writing for fun and will replace.
A/N: For the P100 challenge 293: Picture Prompt. Part of my Making An Impression drabble series and follows on from To Protect Connor. Angsty. Thanks go to Fred for looking it over for me, *hugs*.



Lester sighed at the advert for the perfect Christmas, forcibly reminded of the recent festive disasters – from the icy atmosphere of his last with his ex, to the miserable ones spent alone and the near disaster last year when he'd almost ruined the first one with Connor.

Yet here he was, ruining yet another one. Was what he'd planned really worth doing that? Was stopping Burton really more important than Connor's happiness?

Lester knew it wasn't, but would Connor be safe if he returned? Lester didn't know, but he did know Christmas was a time to be those you loved.

So true

*crosses fingers for Lester*

*nods* Definitely.

*Lester is crossing his fingers too*

Thanks for reading.

Perfect Christmas are overrated, but they need to be together!

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-12-18 07:59 pm (UTC)(link)
True, but Lester was hoping for a better one this year - with Connor.

Thanks for reading.

**meep** You Christmas with Connor Lester.

[identity profile] aunteeneenah.livejournal.com 2012-12-17 11:03 pm (UTC)(link)
I forgot the word 'need' in there. You 'need' Christmas with Connor. *g*

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-12-18 08:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Makes sense with or without 'need'.

*nods* James knows that, now he just needs to stop being so noble.

Sorry, Lester does know that.

Thanks for reading.

Indeed it is. Perfect isn't necessary, just presence...

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-12-18 08:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Definitely. James knows that, now it is just a matter of him not being so noble about everything.

Thanks for reading.

*hugs Lester*

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-12-18 08:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Lester needs the hugs, even if he won't admit it.

Thanks for reading.

Oh, poor Lester.

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-12-18 08:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Sorry, he's not had a good time over the last few years.

Thanks for reading.

Here's hoping Lester.....

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-12-18 08:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Lester hopes so too.

Thanks for reading.

it'll be alright Lester. It has to be.....

Lester hopes so, he really does.

Thanks for reading.

[identity profile] nietie.livejournal.com 2012-12-18 02:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Christmas was a time to be those you loved. I totally agree! *fingers crossed*

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-12-18 08:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Lester wishes he could... and not just with Connor.

Thanks for reading.

*squishes Lester whether he wants it or not* I'm sure Connor would rather Lester be with him!

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-12-20 08:14 pm (UTC)(link)
*James looks agrieved and tries to stuggle free*

*nods* Connor would much rather James was with him.

Thanks for reading.

Poor Lester. Nothing seems to go right for him.

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-12-21 07:35 pm (UTC)(link)
*nods* I'm being rather mean to him, and he'd wish things would go better.

Thanks for reading.

Poor Lester and Connor. It's a difficult choice.

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-12-21 07:48 pm (UTC)(link)
*nods* Lester is just worried about what might happen if he goes back.

Thanks for reading.

Hard choices!! I have faith it will all turn out

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-12-25 09:38 pm (UTC)(link)
James quite agrees, and he hopes it all turns out OK in the end.

Thanks for reading.

Meep, poor Lester (and Connor). They need to get back together soon!

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2013-01-03 08:47 pm (UTC)(link)
*nods* I'm being mean to both of them. They do, but poor Lester is worried what will happen if he comes back.

Thanks for reading.

[personal profile] samueljames 2014-03-03 09:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Hopefully they'll have the chance to make more Christmas memories in the future.

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2014-03-03 09:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Lester really hopes you're right.

Thanks for reading.
