If only I hadn’t left him. If only I could’ve helped the noise inside his head. If only I’d loved him more than I hated life on Gallifrey. If only love had been enough. Then this pain wouldn’t be killing me. This ache in the emptiness where my second heart should be. But my second heart, my Koschei, my Master… it’s been left behind on Gallifrey and I’m never going back. If only I could’ve lived up to my promise.

Forever.

Apparently it has an sell-by date of 336 years.

He wonders sometimes what would have happened if he had met her before Justice, before he was so inextricably bound to the spirit's vendetta. Would he still have agreed to the merge? Still have devoted himself to the fight for mage freedom? Or would he have dedicated his life to something else entirely? “All I want is a pretty girl, a hot meal, and the right to shoot lightning at fools,” he had told the Warden-Commander once, what seemed like a lifetime ago. Could he have found that with Hawke? Not amongst the Wardens, not surrounded by the Templars his Commander would never have allowed to set foot inside the Keep. But maybe somewhere else, by the sea or up in the mountains, somewhere far away from the Circle and the Chantry and all their Maker-cursed laws. Just the two of them building a life together, surrounded by tiny children with her eyes and his magic and no one to call them monsters for it. Could they have been happy, in that other life ( ... )

Elizabeth Weir maintained that, if he had just kept his damn lips to himself, none of this would have happened. They would have continued on with their flirtatious banter, and life would have gone on as usual.

But John Sheppard was always one to get into trouble.

Now his tongue was in her mouth and her hands were in his hair, and Elizabeth hadn’t realized how much drowning felt like flying. Her lungs screamed for air and her body ached for him -

Maybe I can just get him out of my system, she thought.

Of course, he chose that moment to pull back, chest heaving as he sucked in air and wildly searched her eyes. What she saw there made her tremble, and she dragged his mouth back to hers so that he wouldn’t see her shake.

Too late, her heart whispered.

You're welcome! :D And I totally know what you mean, I've been into Voyager the last few years, but I just started to watch Deep Space Nine and I've fallen head over heels. Once I've finished watching DS9, I will soooo be doing a rewatch of Voyager. ♥
