Why this must be read:
During Season Three, Crais ended up on Talyn along with Aeryn and John (well, one of the Johns. Crichton had been cloned at that point, and no, don't ask.) John and Aeryn proceeded to mate like rabid weasals, until John got radiation poisoning and died. Crais was unhappy about this - the sex, not so much the dying - because by that point he'd developed an attachment to Aeryn as well. And that's where my last two recs come in.
There are a few stories out there that deal with the possibility of Crais/Aeryn set between John's death and the end of Season Three, and this is one of my favourites. The Aeryn here may not be Aeryn as we saw her on screen, but it's always good to recall how that Aeryn was filtered for us through John's point of view to one degree or another.
I like to think of this as Aeryn with all the filters stripped out, with nothing between a brutally honest portraid of her and the reader. None of John's soft romantic focus here, and that's entirely appropriate given the time period. Makiko shows us a woman raised a soldier, trying in a number of ways - including her blunt seduction of Crais - to get back to where she was. But sometimes you can't quite make it home again.
She hates her frelling body and there isn't enough pain in the world.
