Reminisce

Summary:

Nick's granddaughter asks him about a particular photograph.

Written for the drabble prompt: Nostalgia

Notes:

So, once I've finished CMIIF, BIHTG and My Nick, I've got a couple of multi-chapter fics planned. They're already partly written, are completely unrelated and take part, for no real reason, 100 years apart.

One of them I've soft launched with a little teaser here, while this fic will be part of a little series of drabbles that will tease the other. Just because I need the dopamine hit of knowing it's out there, but I can't start posting until I've got my life in order! Both series titles give a little bit away!

Thanks to rileys_words, as always, for organising the prompts!

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

“Bella, pass Papa Nick that box, would you?”

She obliges readily. Unlike some of the older grandkids, his youngest is still teeming with notions of romance and fancy about these things. She loves that box, no matter how many times Nick tells the story. She rips the lid off as soon as she’s close enough to snuggle into the armchair with him and tugs an aged photograph free.

“Tell me about this one, Papa?” she begs, even though she must have heard this story a hundred times before.

Nick strokes the familiar black curls on the faded paper and sighs.

Please excuse my absolute uncanny-valley awful attempt at face swapping. I have other skills.
