WHO: Landon Kirby and Hope Mikaelson
WHERE: Landon’s room (8c)
WHEN: After his arrival
WARNINGS: TBD
SPOILERS? Legacies 2x8

Landon’s mind was swirling with the weirdness of arriving in an alternate dimension. He would have thought that he was ready for everything strange that could possibly happen now, but he was wrong. It seemed that the world could always find a way to get stranger. Having people he knew here helped, though. Dr. Saltzman’s presence made everything feel safe, and Lizzie, well, that was familiar too. And Hope...well, that was the best thing of all. He didn’t try to hide the fact that he was hopelessly in love with her, and even had been when he couldn’t remember she existed.

But he felt guilty about that, too. Because while he loved Hope with every bit of himself, he cared about Josie too, and he hated having to choose between them. He was also still a bit annoyed at Hope for not telling him the truth when she cane back. Annoyed, but not angry. Not anymore. He understood where she was coming from, and why she did it. She was trying to do the right thing, but that wasn’t always easy. Sometimes you found yourself in a place where you had to hurt someone. Like when he’d had to choose between Hope and Josie. But that hadn’t been her fault and he didn’t blame her for it anymore.

When he heard the knock on the door, he took a deep breath and answered it. Man, she was beautiful and it was always so good to see her.

“Hey,” he said, suddenly feeling a bit shy. “You doing okay?”

It had been utterly devastating for Hope when MG had attacked Landon and left him dead in the woods. She'd been furious at the world for taking away another person she was starting to care for, and with herself for caring again when she knew what that would mean.

And then he'd caught fire.

She'd had enough dreams (okay, sometimes nightmares) about that night that it was almost hard to discern what was memory and what was made up. But the end result meant the details didn't really matter that much. Landon could leave her in a lot of ways, but dying wasn't going to be one of them. After all of the trauma, it felt like a solid enough base for her to stand on, and she'd started to heal.

Covering his hand with hers, she flashed him a smile. "It's okay. The city's full enough of good memories with her, too. And Dad. And now you."

He smiled when she said things were okay, nodding and letting out a breath he'd been holding in. He worried about her - how could he help it? and he was glad to know that she was handling things okay.

"I'm glad I got to see it," he said. "And share this with you. And jeez, just be with you in this weird place. It makes this all a lot easier, you know? If I ever get kidnapped by another Jubilant Entity, I'll want you to be there then, too."

He grinned and then leaned in to kiss her again. What could he say, he just couldn't resist her. And he didn't think he was supposed to, anyway.

Hope still had so many questions for Landon, but most of them could come later. She was worried about the world back home, but she also had spent the last four months not intending to go back there. It wasn't as relevant as this moment right here, or the feel of his lips against hers. But they still had to eat, if only to fuel more kisses later, and she pulled away after a few minutes. Her whole face was lit up with happiness as she pointed to his sandwich.

"Definitely bring me with you next time. Lizzie was the only person I knew when I got here, and she didn't remember me until we asked the Entity to bring back her memories. Josie was next and she didn't show up for two months after me." Everyone else was dumped much more recently, but she wouldn't want anyone to be someplace like this too long alone.
