Title: Simple Signs
Author: TheCrazyAlaskan
Fandom / Setting: Quantum Leap AU (see comments) – c.f. "The Leap Home, pt. I," New York, 1949
Characters / Pairings: Al Calavicci, Sam Beckett, Trudy Calavicci
Rating: K+
Genre: General
Word Count: 608
Summary: How could Sam tell Al that he was tilting at windmills?

An AU spawned with locoexclaimer wherein simply Al is the leaper and Sam is the project observer. We have a laundry list of episodes that needed hit on, and The Leap Home is one of them—on the top of that list, in fact. In it, Al would leap into himself at age fifteen (part one), and then into another patient at Trudy's mental institution to prevent her death (part two). Want this like the sun burns.

My mind canon completely dictates that Al would be a special education god for this reason alone—I tend to think he did more parenting for Trudy than his parents did, so he's used to it. I'm basically letting my job talk for me (that's the reason I got so attached to him having a sister with Downs, and why I cried like a baby when I watched "Jimmy"). Al's teaching his baby sister sign language, hand over hand for God's sake.

Yeah, it turned out far sadder than I wanted. I should write something happier for part two. Suggestions please?

I have nothing else to really talk about, so I'm going to go on a small tangent.
