Here I go crying again.

But it's still a good feeling (though there's a twinging ache between my ribs).

And there's an entirely holistic naturalness to the way Teyla finds out, as if this was how she should have learned about the deaths (and lives together) of two of her dearest friends.

::pouts::
Okay, you've more than proven that you can make me cry.
Can you make me laugh?
Pleeeeeeeeeease?

I guess if I say "sorry I made you cry again" I might not sound sincere... but I'm glad you felt comfortable with how it worked out!

I have no gift for writing humor, unfortunately, at least nothing laugh-out-loud funny. But I need a laugh too after this so here are three of my long-time favorites, for both of us!

This does indeed provide closure, and was beautifully written...oh wait a minute, you mentioned a book with Earth writing...!

[eccentricweft]

Oh, I'm busted. Yeah, originally the book was going to be Rodney's journal, since the other two parts were John's pov. But I didn't want Rodney to have been writing down his feelings about John for John to find after his death; I thought (and wanted) Rodney to be capable of telling John directly. I left the book in, though, so there would be no question in Teyla's mind that Kisi had, in fact, found John and Rodney, not other people who might also have lived on that planet.

However feel free to imagine Rodney writing anything you please! :)

Okay, I asked for it. And it was very good. But very sad. Now I have to start the day with this melancholy. Great. *g* lol

[eccentricweft]

Oh well, thanks for bearing with me! :) There are some humor recs, two comments up!

[hawtboyluvin]

Ahh At least Teyla knows! It's the NOT knowing is what hurts!

[eccentricweft]

Yes, I totally agree!
