Story Anmerkungen:

Spoilers: Oodles for many eps starting from Season 1 and going to a major one for Meridian

Season info: During the episode Meridian

Content Warnings: Um, lots of angst

Author's Notes: This story was pure therapy. I had to do something to try and cope with the aftermath of Meridian and this bit of writing is the result. The ending was inspired by a story told by Amanda Tapping at a convention earlier this year. Apparently, this scene was taped but never made it to screen. It was way too good to waste. I'd like to dedicate this piece to Amanda and Michael (Yes, THAT Amanda and Michael <g>). Thanks, guys for all the hours of entertainment you've given your fans, myself included. I'd also like to thank my beta readers, Jen, Helen and Linda. You guys are the best! Additional credits will be found at the end of the story. Enjoy! Feedback gratefully accepted if not actually begged for.
