A Sense of Weightlessness

by cminerva

Summary:

A collection of drabbles, mini/flash fic for Jim and Joyce, Murray, and the Hopper-Byers family. Will add more tags as "chapters" are added.

Set primarily during/after Season 4, Vol 1. Title from "Companion" by Nikki Lane.

Notes:

You are the only one that I can rest my head upon
I know a sense of weightlessness; the breath is falling from my chest
And I will spend a lifetime playing catch you if I can
If you get too far ahead, I'll be the one that's being led

-Companion, Nikki Lane

Chapter 1: Enzo's

"You stood me up."

"What?" Jim is still reeling from the sudden appearance of the miracle that's currently wrapped in his arms and can't get his head around her words.

Joyce pulls back just enough to look up at him.

"Our date, at Enzo's," she says. "You stood me up."

Jim stares at her for a moment, taking in the absurdity of these words while they’re standing in the depths of this frozen hell. Then he laughs.

"I guess we're even then."

Joyce's face crinkles into a smile.

“Third time’s the charm, Hop,” she tells him, and he just grins.
