So I spun by to read this because of your fic meme this morning and...this is just beautiful! Love the juxtaposition of planetary/galactic doom with events that on that scale are much smaller but no less tragic. Love Teal'c quoting Yeats and love Vala's line. *nods* We're still here.

Thanks. I wrote this because I didn't find out about it until Tuesday, the day after the shooting--I was sick Monday with the flu, didn't go to work, just watched movies and slept. And then the next day I go to work and hear on the radio about this horrible thing, and it was just so shocking to me, that so many people could die and I didn't even know... I mean, of course people die all the time and you don't know, but it felt, I don't know, just terrible that I didn't get some ripple of disturbance from the Force or something. So I wrote this fic the same day. Re-reading it, I still feel the same kind of shock and horror. It's like a window back.

Thanks for reading. :)

Just wanted to let you know how much this fic touched me. In some ways I feel like I never really dealt with Virginia Tech, had no idea how to, and then time passed and it was like a faux-dealing. I adored the tone of this fic and the lilt of the writing. The sadness and the undeniable through-line of teaminess felt so right for the topic. They co-grieve. I love that.

Thought your choices for how each found out the news were perfect. Vala's aliveness and her line broke me and put me back together.

Thank you for sharing.

Thank you so much! It means a great deal to me that this little story could touch you, and maybe help in some way. I, too, really love the teaminess, the way they support each other through their shock and grief.
