30_Gens Fic: Penitence

[greyias]

Sad news today... kind of ironic that it came out the same day I finished this. Heh.

Title: Penitence
Rating: PG
Genre: Gen, Angst, Introspection
Word Count: ~4000
Theme number: #2 - Unfamiliar Territory
Character(s): Rodney McKay
Beta: twit1217, who without... I would make very little sense. I ♥ my beta! Any remaining mistakes, afraid they're all me.
Spoilers: Huge honking and flashing their lights spoilers for "Miller's Crossing"
Summary: It's not penance, because oh, that'd be the kind of afterlife he'd want if he was apt to believe in that sort of thing. Need to atone for your sins? Drink a Molson's, we'll call it even. (Tag for "Miller's Crossing")


(The guilty one is not he who commits the sin, but the one who causes the darkness.)

Definitely not my usual comedic, snarky affair.

hmmm...looks like my comment didn't take for some reason.

I really loved this. You painted a beautiful, potent picture.

Your comment made it through over on the post in 30_gens, but the double comment makes me that much happier :)

Very, very moving and very accurate. Great missing scene.

And I'm so sad, so incredibly sad, I wouldn't be able to read snark today anyway. :(

As much as I love the snark to itty bitty pieces, I don't think I could properly appreciate it today. I find it strange that I finished this one yesterday, because it's kind of how I'm feeling. I think we need one big, giant fandom group hug.

We sure do. *hugs*

*hugs* Maybe a snarkathon next week?
