Summary: Romano goes to Corday's house to confess . . .
AN: I love Romano's snarkiness, but I'm fascinated by what the sarcasm hides. I was listening to the song, and I was struck by how much it reminded me of Romano and how he feels about Corday. In this, our dear Rocket is still whole, Mark is still dead and Ella is present, so it's sort of an AU Season 9.
I did my best to keep Romano in character, but I'm not sure how much I succeeded. *sweats*
This was inspired by little_miss_writer's "In From the Cold", and Rocket Launcher's "High Risk Behavior". I have no intent to plagiarize, ladies. I am in awe of your wonderful work, and I only hope I can pull this off as well as you did.
Although this is meant to be after Season 8, Carter will be more like he was at the beginning of the show because I can't stand Pissy!Carter.
Disclaimer: The song is "Hero" by Enrique Iglesias and the title is from the song. I do not own the song, nor do I own anything connected to ER, except my enjoyment of all things Cordano. I am not making any money, this is simply for enjoyment.
Caveat: I am not a doctor. My scanty medical knowledge comes solely from watching ER and spending more time gawking over Luka and Carter than actually paying attention to what they were doing. I've done my best to keep the medical stuff accurate, but let me know if anything seems too ridiculous.

Would You Save My Soul Tonight?
By OcelotKitten
__________
Let me be your hero
Would you dance
If I asked you to dance?
Would you run
And never look back?
Would you cry
If you saw me crying?
And would you save my soul tonight?
Would you tremble if I touched your lips?
Would you laugh?
Oh, please tell me this
Now would you die for the one you loved?
Hold me in your arms tonight
I can be your hero, baby
I can kiss away the pain
I will stand by you forever
You can take my breath away
Would you swear
That you'll always be mine?
Or would you lie?
Would you run and hide?
Am I in too deep?
Have I lost my mind?
I don't care . . .
You're here tonight
I can be your hero baby
I can kiss away the pain
I will stand by you forever
You can take my breath away
Oh, I just want to hold you
I just want to hold you
Am I in too deep?
Have I lost my mind?
Well, I don't care . . .
You're here tonight
I can be your hero baby
I can kiss away the pain
I will stand by you forever
You can take my breath away
