A while ago, a challenge was presented by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sunshinercj for authors to write a story around the idea that Aeryn perished on Dam Ba Da instead of John.
This is Angel's answer to that challenge. Written from a second person POV, the POV of the John left on Moya, this is some real painful stuff. I think I had to stop midway through when I first read it to calm myself down because this was hurt and hurt bad. Both John's make an appearance, both mourning for the loss of the woman they both love. One is grieving for love lost and one is grieving for a lost love that never was. There's anger, bitterness, and resentment and absolutely no resolution. The open ended conclusion is what makes this so hard. You know that those two men cannot live together no matter how much they say they can.
The death of John in the series was hard enough but this story makes you actually think it might be the better solution than to have Aeryn die and leave two men without that one thing that tends to keep them sane.
