If Angels Could Weep Then They Would Cry I Love You With Their Tears
By Mistress McShep's Cerulean Butterfly Lover

You used to captivate me
By your resonating life


John knelt by Rodney, unconcerned about the people surrounding them. "Don't leave me," he begged his love, his fingers lying over the weakly beating heart in Rodney's chest.

"Have to... my love..." Rodney reached out and touched John's face, wiping away the single crystalline tear working its way down John's perfectly sculpted cheek. "Remember me... remember the... good times..." Rodney's breath hitched, rattling around his body in one long agonising gasp. "Remember I... love you..."

With those beautiful words, Rodney's heart finally stopped, his last breath stretching out into eternity before he was gone.

"No!" screamed John, the dam holding his emotions in check bursting and a torrent of tears flooding out of him. "Don't leave!" he sobbed, holding Rodney's body close and kissing the cooling lips, trying to force his own very life back into the corpse.

"John." Lizzie laid a hand on the grieving Colonel's shoulder. "John, he's gone," she sobbed, unable to keep her own grief inside. "Our beautiful Rodney's gone."

And Atlantis herself wept.

Now I'm bound by the life you've left behind
Your face it haunts
My once pleasant dreams


John looked into the mirror, haunted eyes staring back at him. Holding the sharp razor blade in his fingers, he looked down at the scars that decorated his arm. It had been so long since he had needed to do this, since the pain in his heart had been so great, but he knew he couldn't live without Rodney.

"Farewell, cruel world," he whispered, pressing the blade into his flesh and feeling his skin start to part.

~/~No.~/~

John looked up at the voice, dropping the blade in shock when he saw Rodney's sad face looking back at him through the mirror.

~/~You have to live, John.~/~

"I can't!" John wailed. "Not without you! Nothing is worth it if you aren't by my side to see the sun shining!"

~/~You have to live for me, John.~/~

John sobbed once, running back into the bedroom and throwing himself on the bed. He hugged the pillow close to him, breathing in the heady male scent of Rodney that was still there.

"I can't live without you, my love," he sobbed, as he sobbed himself to sleep.

Your voice it chased away
All the sanity in me


"I need to go back!" Rodney shouted into the white that surrounded him in his death.

@/*-You can't. It could change the universe as we know it.-*/@

"I don't care about the universe!" shouted Rodney. "John needs me, and I'm going to him!"

@/*-You can't change what is done. You are still dead.-*/@

"Death means nothing when it's faced with love," Rodney said, his love for John shining like a shiny light reflecting off a very shiny thing.

There was silence.

@/*-Very well.-*/@

A flash surrounded Rodney and the next thing he knew he was standing back in his and John's bedroom on Atlantis.

John lay on the bed. Sobbing.

"John?" Rodney stepped forward.

John looked up, the sobs trailing off. "Rodney?"

"I'm here! I came back for you!" Rodney ran towards the bed, preparing to take John in his arms. But his arms went through John, like the ghost-like phantom apparition he was.

"Rodney!" John sobbed.

"I'm still here. Even if I can't touch you, I'm still here," Rodney promised. "And I'm never leaving you again."

John smiled, tears leaking out of his eyes and reflecting in silver trails in the light of the twin moons in the Lantean night. "Oh, Rodney," he sighed. "I'm so glad you're back."

End part 1

Plz review. This is my first fic. I will write part 2 when I get 76 reviews. Be nice!

The collection of markup indicators was horrific enough. And then I read it. You're too good at this. Never write badfic again. It makes the baby tardis shrivel up and crawl away into a corner and rock back and forth, back and forth, back and forth, back and forth...

On reflection it strikes me that the only appropriate penance for this is to make you write more. If this requires 76 reviews so be it...

I'm sorry about the spam frenzy, but:

"Death means nothing when it's faced with love," Rodney said, his love for John shining like a shiny light reflecting off a very shiny thing.

*dies from explosive giggle-fit*

(okay, I lied, I'm not sorry to spam you. You *deserve* it. Eleventy one, so you do.)

*stares, frowns* Oh Christ, those are Evanescence lyrics.

I don't know you.

I have to try to remember not to read your fic at work 'cause man, it was bad enough, and then this happened:

"Death means nothing when it's faced with love," Rodney said, his love for John shining like a shiny light reflecting off a very shiny thing.

... I had to go to the stock cupboard because I couldn't stop laughing.

Isn't 76 a big number? I'm all for Part 2 - I know it's not meant to be funny but I'd really love to see Rodney as an angel.

Great premise and I really enjoyed reading it. It's a different style and I don't suppose we go in to how/why Rodney died in the first place?

Still, I'd love to see the boys manage their relationsip after death.

Is it bad that I laughed all the way through the death scene? Actually I started laughing at the author's notes, winced at the song lyrics (song fic!), and couldn't help but continue with lines like Rodney reached out and touched John's face, wiping away the single crystalline tear working its way down John's perfectly sculpted cheek. You're just so *good* at the badfic.

Frighteningly, I just couldn't do the spelling mistakes. I could do the single crystalline tear, and the cutting, and the shiny love that defies death, but I balked at the deliberate spelling errors. Go figure! *grin*
