Why this must be read:
This is set between the events at Karnak and the last scene in the GN where Laurie and Dan visit her mother. They both have plenty of emotional baggage to deal with between then, but the canon doesn't really resolve it - which is where this fic comes in. This primarily explores Laurie's reaction to finding out who her real father is, but it says so much more than that, and about both characters. Even though Dan and Laurie are together, they seem very isolated until the end - but how they come together is the most evocative, and shocking, part of the fic. It goes to a dark place, but they come out united, and that's where this fic's power really comes from.
He's frustratingly tender with her. Sometimes she can get him to snap back at her a little, but then he apologizes almost immediately. Once, he feels bad enough to brings her flowers, and she makes herself put them in a vase and look at them all day.
She's spent her life living in a bubble, a sealed, soundproofed reality of her own making. There was a moment or two, in a desert of red sand and another of ice, when she thought she could breathe. Thought she was free.
She stares at Sam's flowers until she still can see them with her eyes closed.
