Summary: Missing scene conversation set during the 5th episode of COE.
Why you should read it:
This was written right after Children of Earth aired. The grief here is raw and immediate, a knee-jerk reaction that doesn't pull any punches. Jack goes to see Rhiannon before he leaves Earth, and tries to set things right, not that he can. This is one of those scenes that could have fit nicely into canon.
He remained silent and still, not being able to answer when it mattered, surely not answering now.
It's lovely and bleak and very much inhabits Jack's mindset right after CoE, before time and distance can even begin to grant him any perspective or peace.
