Five Things John Does When Rodney Dies Why this must be read:
When I first read this, I nearly died too. For some reason, these five-things format fics just pack so much into such a small amount of words. Lunabee explores what John does after he loses Rodney in some unnamed manner. I swear the further you read, the more your heart will just clench! Number 3 had me balling like crazy... And #5 wasn't that far behind for emotional punch. With very deft word usage and a turn-of-phrase that'll blow your mind, Lunabee delivers a fic for the angst-lover in all of us.
Story Summary: Again, title says it all...
The sky has always been a refuge-the clean and bright canvas of Antarctica, the airless and brilliant expanse of space. Now all John feels is its emptiness, its blank sterility, its overwhelming and crushing possibility. He once valued flying for its solitude but he’s flown too long with a copilot to feel that anymore.
