A/N: No idea where that come from – I guess it just sort of happened. This is about Jenkins again, obviously. We still don't know enough about this man! I'm sure he hides a lot of feelings... and maybe memories, too.
By the way, I'm not entirely sure if "stuffed" is the right word here... Any suggestions? Or is it just fine? Please let me know :)
Set after Season 1, episode 5.
Stuffed away
After his fight with Jones it happened again. All the memories were popping back up, everything he had stuffed away in the farthest places in his mind became present. He would never get used to this, though it happened with an increasing frequency.
Whenever this occured, the books in the Library, all the magical artifacts and even the people he was now working with, were not enough to keep his mind off of the stretches of his past reappearing before his eyes.
He remembered places he had been, things he had done, but, most of all, he remembered people. He remembered distantly how they laughed and smiled, how they had looked when they were sad, battles they had fought alongside each other, things they had said to him, and things he never had a chance to tell them.
But the strongest feeling connected to them always was that of loss.
They had all died long ago, and the good memories tied to them tended to get weaker with every day that passed, while the bad ones got stronger.
Flynn, Baird, Cassandra, Jones and Stone would also become mere memories, names connected with a bitter feeling of loneliness.
He would be the one who would live longer than any of them. He would watch them die, presumably sooner than later, and he would be last man standing again.
As always.
