We are Scattered Through Time and Space

Modern AU one-shot collection based on your prompts, and sometimes just something that comes to my barmy mind. John Thorington (modern AU Thorin Oakenshield) and my OC Wren, reincarnated through times and locations, and always finding each other *No Infringement Intended*

[200 words]

You apologize and start slowly backing up from the group of people amicably chatting on the lawn. You hate engagement parties. Especially the engagement parties of your exes. As in their mutual engagement. You just need to be sneaky and slowly make your way towards the house, through the back door, and to the cab. The whole experience is surreal, and there is a teeny-weeny element of humiliation in it. Like about 98% of all your emotions at the moment are humiliation. Your back hits someone, and it's the groom's uncle. Shite. All tall, dark and gorgeous. "Enjoying the party, Miss Leary?" Judging by his tone, he knows the answer. You jerk your chin up. He hands you a flute. "It's the toast time." Wanker, is he enjoying it? He leans to your ear. "It's sparkly grape juice, and I said I'd say a toast instead of you." You stare at him. "I can distract them after so you can run." Maybe not so much of a wanker. You give him a grateful smile, and he smiles back, adorable crow's feet in the corner of his eyes. "Can I also have your number while we are at it, please?"
