Mission accomplished. There're tears running down my face and dripping off my chin.

But, you know, I agree with you on the going together thing. And I'm glad that there was a painless, non-violent way for John to join Rodney. But the way you separated that one sentence tore at my heart.

OTOH, I can imagine a sequel where their bodies are eventually found. [And I'd cry all over again.] I know it feels strange to thank you for making me cry; but, then, I think that is one of the best ways to reaffirm our humanity.

Oh wow. Honestly, I'm both elated and abashed to know that I made you cry. Thank you so much for reading it with your emotions unguarded.

Yes, I agree entirely. I think it's only possible to be compassionate about other people's sorrows if we're able to face our own, and experience them, instead of running away.

that was sad, and definitely not something i want to read on a daily basis, but you handled it beautifully, and in such a short format. great writing, and a haunting but lovely story. thank you. s.

[eccentricweft]

You are so welcome. Thank you too, for letting me share that story.

[eccentricweft]

Thank you, very much, for reading. I'm glad it touched you.

Sometimes I feel like such a silly creature for letting my heart be broken over these two - but I suppose we should take comfort in knowing that it means we have a heart!

[eccentricweft]

Oh no, it's not silly. Maybe not easy to explain to non-fans, but not silly at all. They may be fictional characters but love and sacrifice aren't.

Thank you for reading!

Oh, soooo sad. But beautiful, too. I wonder if someone will find their bodies and it'll be even sadder if turns out that the expedition never stopped looking for them.

I think the people on Atlantis who loved them (Teyla and Ronon, mainly) would never forget them, even if they had to abandon the search...
