Disclaimer: Primeval belongs to Impossible Pictures. Certainly not me. Writing for fun and will replace.
A/N: For the P100 challenge 372: A Sporting Chance. Part of my Making An Impression drabble series and I blame the prompt ;) Thanks go to Fred for casting her eye over it for me.


James knew they were moving too slowly, that they weren't going to make it in time. He looked around, knowing he needed to find somewhere safe, somewhere Connor would survive the oncoming storm... there!

He ignored Connor's questioning moan when they turned away from the anomaly, heading towards the only cover they might reach in time. Hoping that the rocks might shelter them, shelter Connor and knowing it was their only chance.

James settled Connor into a crevasse before shielding his husband with his own body. He paused before stripping his jacket off and using it to cover their heads.

Arrggggh!
Those prompts are evil!

Good thing James has sharp eyes.

*nods* They are, I was all set to get them home and then.. the prompt ;)

James is very happy he has sharp eyes and says he'll look after Connor.

Thanks for reading.

eek!

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

*nods* The boys - or at least James - agree.

Thanks for reading.

A sporting chance? **meep** Not sure they have any kind of chance. **bites nails**

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Well... Nick and Stephen survived a sandstorm OK, admittedly not a toxic one so James hopes he and Connor can.

Thanks for reading and mind your nails.

This had better be a QUICK sandstorm!

Eeek...

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

James is hoping it is a very quick sandstorm.

Thanks for reading.

You iz a bad katty! And don't blame the prompts! *stern look*

*g*

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

*meow?* Can I blame them? Are you sure? ;) *sorrowful kitty eyes*

Thanks for reading.

Here's hoping next week's prompt is something like "Home Safe".

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

James says 'yes, please'. He really wants to get Connor home.

Thanks for reading.

Oh my goodness. The sense of desperation is so tangible. Good work, Lester!

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Sorry ;) Good to know the desparation came across. Lester just hopes your right.

Thanks for reading.

[deinonychus-1.livejournal.com]

Eek! Maybe he should have just kept going.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Maybe, but it didn't really fit the prompt. eyes prompter meaningfully

Thanks for reading.

[fredbassett]

At least they're together!

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

True, but I'm sure they'd prefer to be home.

Thanks for reading and looking it over for me.

Good, quick thinking James.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

*nods* James is very good at thinking on his feet.

Thanks for reading.

It was the sensible thing to do, but it's so risky! *bites nails nervously*

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

It was, but James knows how risky his decision was.

Thanks for reading.

[stealingpennies.livejournal.com]

*g* This is canon, right?! Definitely the sensible thing to do - I just hope James isn't leading them into more danger. (But I will find out in a few minutes!)

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Not really.. considering it is Lester/Connor and Lester never followed Connor through the anomaly ;)

More danger? Well... that remains to be seen.

Thanks for reading.

[cordeliadelayne]

All very tense!

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Good to know it worked.

Thanks for reading.
