Why this story must be read:
This is one of my favorite post-reunion stories out there. It's quiet and almost leisurely, allowing us a look into the mind's of John and Aeryn in the aftermath of TalynJohn's death. Huzzlewhat shows how this death is affecting both characters in very different ways. It's John POV but we're able to get a feel for what it's been like for Aeryn through John's thoughts and words.
Huzzlewhat also uses Crais, a character mostly neglected in the majority of fic, very well and as a catalyst for the events in the story. This would've been a good story without the Crais factor but I love when authors use all the characters and use them in more ways than the token appearance.
The John/Aeryn pairing here is almost a red herring. They're together but they're not. They're painted as very broken people, hurting each other because it's the only thing they really have left to do. Aeryn, in particular, is written very well. She's cold and quiet but not overly so. I can see Aeryn trying to be something she's not but Huzzlewhat doesn't take it overboard.
The ending is not forced nor does it tie up the strings opened by the show's canon. It's there and it's a start and it could've easily been an offscreen moment for the two characters.
