potentiality_26Title: Future Tense
Fandom: The Wild Wild West
Pairing/Characters: Artemus Gordon/James West
Summary: The past fights change, and people aren't very good at learning from it.
Rating: NC-17
Length: Long (18,245 words)
Disclaimer: The Wild Wild West belongs to CBS and a lot of people who aren't me.
Notes/Warnings: Includes major character death, dub-con, the end of the world, an unhappy ending, references to suicide and self harm, and just loads of not nice things. 1) I don't read a lot of darkfic, so I have no idea where on any potential scale this fic rests. but as you can see I have warned the hell out of it, and if you read said warnings and find yourself at all disinclined to read it, don't read it. I'm not altogether happy with it, and now that it's gone I'm going to work on a something nicer. 2) When I first started this fic (way too long ago), I was reading Stephan King's 11/22/63. Originally, it was my intention to use similar rules of time travel, but in the end this story just went its own way. Still, I think the novel informed it somewhat.
Excerpt: Artie didn’t think he should understand what his partner was saying, at least not right away. He should be fighting it for all he was worth, but he wasn’t. It seemed like he’d been wrestling with this truth for an age and it had finally slotted into place.
