Why this must be read:

It's total crack!fic... it's a death!fic... it's everything I hate in fic. 

Yet in the capable hands of Rose Po, this story will draw in the most jaded reader.  Rose has created an entire canon in her stories, mostly centering around John Gage's Indian heritage (which the series addressed a few times).  I promise you will want to read everything else she has ever done, once you read Star Quilt:

    Startled by the weakness of Johnny's grip, Roy squeezed his hand gently, feeling the wasted thinness of his fingers. He averted his face, unable to met Gage's eyes.
    "Promise me if I code while you're here, you'll remember you're not a paramedic in South Dakota."
    Roy shook his head.
    "Then leave," said Johnny, turning his head away. He released Roy's hand, unwilling to allow his partner's pain to dissuade him.
    DeSoto sat listening to the silence outside the window, feeling the tears spill down his cheeks. He decided. "I'll sit on my hands," he said, voice breaking.
