Oh, Owen. *sobs* There was decent man in there, somewhere, underneath all the snarling.

[itsarift_thing]

There was *hands hankie*

[aeron_lanart]

I can't believe I missed this. Anyway, it's gorgeous and a perfect Owen voice. And this...
And on that note. It's bloody lonely out here, Jack

But there again

You already knew that.

Didn't you?

Made me fill up.

[itsarift_thing]

It just- Jack always did know didn't he? It's why Owen was in that mess in the first place, after all...

*opens you a new box of Kleenex*

[rustydog]

Ohhh. That hurts GOOD. You've got Owen's sense of humor (ha!)

Except maybe doing it in the freezer that time was a bit of a mistake.

He's gone now, right? I knew that would get him shifted.

and you deal with Suzie, which I never see enough because did they mention it on the show? no, but I think often about how it must have affected Owen

and anything that gets to the heart of Owen's and Jack's relationship is pure gold to me.

Don't let her go back to that - make love to her if you have to - just- don't break her heart if you can help it.

That whole bit killed me. And I love that Owen knows Jack should ask Gwen.

This went right into my bookmarks!

He isn't always very co-operative but sometimes - normally in times of crisis - he just shines through, snark and all. I'm glad it worked for you.

*hands hankies*

And do you know, I just realised, no-one has complained and said he should know Tosh is dead as well?

[rustydog]

no-one has complained and said he should know Tosh is dead as well?

But he doesn't know, or he didn't when he died. Oh, I see, you mean people might assume he would get the news somehow in the [whatever passes for an afterlife in this 'verse]? Eh, I don't see why being dead should make a person omniscient, it didn't even occur to me that he'd know. And the fact he doesn't is so poignant.

[itsarift_thing]

Yes that!
I don't see why being dead should make a person omniscient
Me either and I don't know why I expected it to be any different for any of my f-list but I did fret just a little bit because I *really* wanted that moment of poignancy for him.
