Pairing: Harper/Dylan
Distribution: Anywhere, as long as you let me know where it's going.
Disclaimer: Gene Roddenberry made 'em up. I'm just borrowing.
Spoilers: None in particular.
Feedback: Always, any kind at all. I have a thick skin.
Author's Notes: Trance's POV, first-person.
After me, Rommie was probably the first to know what was happening. I'm guessing that Tyr was next, then finally Beka. And, well, Harper knew all along, of course. Everyone else seems to be happy not to talk about it though. I don't fully understand the need for denial, though I'm always ready to use it in my favor.
The whole thing just seems so thoroughly predictable. Which it is. I saw this possibility. Of course, I've seen... so many things, most of which never end up happening.
I can remember what it was like, first meeting Dylan. My mind just opened up. I'd never met anyone with so many possibilities, so many ways to shape the future. For weeks after we first met, he was the only thing that I dreamed about. His life, his dreams, his loves.
It really could have been any of us, I even saw a future where Rev...
But I would never have let that happen to Dylan. He's far too important.
Harper's chances seemed to change with every switch of the wind. Rommie and Beka always looked so much more likely and there some simply fascinating possibilities with Tyr for a while.
But now the only person I see is Harper. If Harper isn't there for Dylan, then no one is. I've seen a couple of 'happily ever afters', but those are always hazy and flickering. Dylan isn't meant for of those. He always ends up alone. I've dreamed of him dying in agony in practically every way possible.
You'd think that in the millions of possibilities that the has to offer, there would be one future where Captain Dylan Hunt dies without bloodshed and pain. If there is, I can't find one. And I've given up on looking.
