Title: Meant to Be
Author(s): Elflore and Rehanna (No, Reh didn't ask if she could post this. He already told me I could do whatever I wanted with it.)
Rating: PG ...Reh was naughty and made John say "damnit" (pretty mild compared with some of my others. :)
Summary: It's John and Aeryn getting together. Isn't that enough?
Spoilers: None. Vague references to "Throne for a Loss," "Thank God it's Friday, Again," "The Flax," "DNA Mad Scientist," "Nerve," "Picture if You Will." (Don't worry if you haven't seen PiFYW, we don't give anything away. It's not even a quote we use. )
Feedback: Pleeeeease? You'll get a cookie! I promise!
Note: This was an rp for random shippiness to start with and SOMEHOW it turned into a story.. Don't ask us how, we don't know.
Disclaimer: We don't own the characters, wish we did, and then we'd be making all the money, not Jim Henson Productions, Hallmark Entertainment, Nine Networks and the SciFi Channel. Anyway, please don't sue us; you wouldn't get anything. While the characters don't belong to us, the story DOES so please don't steal it, or plagiarize it or anything like that. © Elflore and Rehanna, 2000
*New Author Note* I want a story with chapters. This one would kinda be perfect (I remember having to break it up when I sent it out for feedback). And it will have short chapters. Sorry.
Oh, and so all the lovely people who keep reviewing my J/C stories don't think I'm giving that up on them, I'm not. This was written over a year ago, but I'm becoming a review junkie, so I thought I'd post it here ;) . All reviews will be shared with Elflore (
Aeryn looked at him, her face which she so carefully kept expressionless registered her astonishment.
"John - I don't know what to say."
John looked at her, hopefully, then, when that got to be too much, he glanced down at the box and noticed he forgot to open it.
As he did, he told her, "I found it on the last commerce planet... The trader called it a Luxan Blood-Stone." He shrugged, still looking at the little, spherical crystal. "I figured it was the closest thing to a diamond I'd find out here..." He trailed off again, and looked at Aeryn once again.
Aeryn reached over and took his hand. " I want to, John. You have no idea how much. But... but are you sure this is a good idea?"
John frowned, looking confused. "Of course, I - Aren't you?"
"I don't know." She looked away and closed her eyes, not wanting to see him upset. "I'm not saying no..."
"...But you're not saying yes." John nodded, trying to be understanding.
The best he could manage was to try to shut off his emotions all together, ignore the pain, but it didn't work. "It's okay, I understand. I guess... I guess I've just been pushing things too hard." He started to leave.
"No!" Aeryn looked at him again. "If you honestly believe this is best, then," her voiced dropped drastically, "yes."
John turned back, uncertainly, "Aeryn, I'm not... I love you more than anything, but if you don't feel ready..."
"I care about you more than I ever though possible... If you want to me wear that ring to prove it to you, I will."
John looked down at the box lid. "Maybe this was silly of me. I mean, if it's not what you want -"
"I didn't say it's not what I want."
"But you didn't say it IS what you DO want, either."
"John... I'm not supposed to feel the way I do about you, according to everything I was ever taught," Aeryn got quieter, still. "I don't know how to handle it."
John pocketed the ring and stepped closer to her, then took her in his arms. His reply was soft; he was almost talking into her shoulder. "Do we ever know how to handle these feelings?"
Aeryn leaned into him, closing her eyes once again. She was still talking very quietly, hardly above a whisper; it sounded as if she was forcing the words out, "I do love you, John Crichton." She paused, "But do you mind if I get used to that first?"
John smiled quietly, "Not at all, Aeryn Sun. You're worth the wait."
