Why this must be read: This fic takes place during and after For King and Country, and does a great job filling up those missing pieces of the episode, such as what happened while John and Helen watched the sunset together. It takes rapidly approaching death to finally get John and Helen to actually talk to each other, and I love what Rose has them say.

"I'm sure that by now, you've decided that it was a mistake to wrap yourself in my arms in Cambodia?"

Her eyes grew hard as she resented his frustratingly playful tone.

"Helen, you're not well." He said, finally. "I know I have many sins to atone for, and that redemption will not come easily, but perhaps you only came with me because you know you have nothing else to lose?"
