Primeval drabble: Journey's End?

Title: Journey's End?
Author: knitekat
Word Count: 100
Characters: James Lester, (Connor Temple)
Rating: 12
Disclaimer: Primeval belongs to Impossible Pictures. Certainly not me. Writing for fun and will replace.
A/N 1: For the P100 challenge 386: Odyssey. The last drabble for my Making An Impression series. Thanks go to Fred for all the betas, advice and paw-holding.
A/N 2: The first drabble for this series – for prompt 197 was posted on the 5th February 2011! Since then, it has included (if my maths is correct): 190 prompts, 197 posts and 223 drabbles. It will be odd not writing it after so many weeks/months/(years).
Definition: 1) a long series of wanderings or adventures, especially when filled with notable experiences, hardships, etc. 2) any long eventful journey.


James sipped his whisky, thinking about how much had changed since the anomalies had first dropped on to his desk.

He'd made good friends – and more. He smiled when his gaze fell on Connor – but the anomalies had also cost the lives of too many people.

He'd experienced things both exhilarating and terrifying, over that time. He'd never forget the first time he'd stepped into the past; just as he still woke in the night, shaking as he remembered being hunted.

What did surprise James was realising how much he'd miss the anomalies if Matt was correct and they stopped.

Awww, squeeee! Congratulations on your serial - I hadn't realised it had been going since 2011! Love James' realisation.

Wow! An amazing set of drabbles.
A great ending, contemplative a bit bittersweet.

Whoa! 2011?! Now that's a commitment. Well done. I've really enjoyed the ride. I've been pissed and happy and worried and thrilled. I shall miss this. But now you're free to begin another. **hugs**

Wow! What a series. It was a real rollercoaster, but so nice to see James at some kind of peace, with Connor at his side where he belongs, and although there's always going to be the bad memories, it sounds like he's doing okay. Great end to the series! Well done.
