*sniffles, wiping eyes* Oh, this is so verisimilitudinous. Sometimes it isn't anything huge or heroic, consoles just blow and stars just flare and people just die and the living have to hold onto each other. Thank you, brighteyes.

(Aw, Lt. Freeman!)

Thank you for the lovely prompt. ♥

(I stole her name, but I don't think this is her real death, just an excuse not to make someone else up.)

This was just utterly perfect, the way it's just an anyday and an anyperson, but it still means so damn much. Lovely!

Thank you! Jim is so young in the movie, I can't imagine him having built up the emotional barriers to NOT have deaths hit him like this.

Found a few typos:
the idea that some idiotic piece of bureaucracy had mandated biweekly virus scans on all staff consoles and Lt. Freeman filing out paperwork when she died. - should either be "had been filing paperwork" or "had been filling out paperwork" and "idea" at the beginning there should probably be "fact."

There was nothing we could do. He was too alittle - "too little."

*hugs everyone* Awwww.

Thanks, sweetness!

It won't, but he'll always have his Bones.

*sniff* This is beautifully done.

Thank you!
