A/N: For P100 prompt 549: Convergence. For my 52 weeks of Primeval weeks: Season 5 and Philip Burton.

Philip Burton wasn't a fool. Oh, he was willing to admit Helen Cutter had appealed to his ego, to be remembered for great things. The knighthood had only been the first of many awards, a Nobel Prize would surely have followed when New Dawn heralded a new start for humanity.

He never meant to doom humanity to that dying world Helen had shown him. As alarms blared around him, Philip took a deep breath and turned towards his creation. He'd made a mistake and now he had a chance to stop it.

Maybe the world would remember him for that.

Yes, Burton was at least clear-sighted at the end.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

True, once he realised he'd made a mistake.

Thanks for reading.

Poor Burton! It was his fault, but he tried to fix it in the end *sigh*

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

*nods* Burton did redeem himself at the end.

Thanks for reading.

Well, I never said he died trying to fix it all. Thanks for reading.

Great icon.

Thanks for writing some Burton themed goodies for this week. That was one of the things I hadn't prepared. So I'm happy you helped out there.

I liked the ficlet. Deep down Burton is a good guy. Morally ambigiuous for sure but still good in a way.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

You're welcome and he turned out nice in this ficlet ;).

Burton definitely has the morally ambigious thing going.

Thanks for reading.

At least he tried to fix things in the end.

Thanks for reading.
