10 THINGS FOR 10 PEOPLE:

A list of 10 things my characters would like to say to people, but don't quite have the courage to (or can't because they're not in the game with them).

I've mostly moved on and know I deserve happiness, and I'm okay where I'm at now, but the truth is I still carry a bit of a torch for you despite that. I both miss you and hope you never show up so I don't have to deal with the idea that I may have hurt you and damaged our relationship beyond repair.

[hot4engines]

You've taken care of me ever since I've gotten here, and you still help me feel safe. I feel like I don't tell you thanks for that enough. And I hope that one day things get less hectic, because not bein' able to see you very often kinda sucks.

[hot4engines]

You're a dead ringer, looks and voice-wise, for one of the people I was closest to back home and it's PRETTY DAMN CREEPY. It really does make me think the fictional character thing may be real, no matter what I tell myself...

[hot4engines]

I don't know where I'd be 'f it wasn't for you and your constant support, and I'm always worried that I don't give enough support to you in return, even though you never ask me 'cept when it's really, really bad. And if it hadn't been for Shepard, I think we coulda had something more.

[hot4engines]

I ain't ever had no siblings before, but I think I could call you big sis if you'd let me, which is weird, 'cause we ain't even known each other for long. But I think being trapped here makes those kinds of relationships form quicker and stronger than normal, and you make me feel a little safer and a little more protected.

[hot4engines]

I hope my bad luck with roommates don't continue, 'cause I really like you. I think we could get to be real good friends, in fact. Be careful out there.

[hot4engines]

Sometimes I feel like I miss you most of all, though most of the time I miss all of the crew equally. You made me feel so safe, and put me in the best ship in the sky, and felt like my big brother and my protector, and damn, I miss that. It hurts not bein' able to see you no more, and I keep wishing you'd come here, if only for just a little bit so I could hug you.

... also, it'd be kinda funny for you to meet Mr. Castle.

[hot4engines]

You've been so kind to me, even when you didn't really know me, and that's one of the best things about you. I hope you never lose that kindness, no matter what we get put through here, because it helps light everyone up. Also, you give the best hugs.

[hot4engines]

I wanna pick you up and cuddle you, but at the same time, somethin' about you just feels... off. ... still don't stop me from wanting to pick you up and hug you, though.

[hot4engines]

I still feel so lost without you. You were a constant, familiar, never-changing presence, and one of my favorite things in the whole world. You were home, even if we never stayed in one place for too long, and that ain't easy to find. I miss the freedom I felt when I was with you.

I don't feel like I think and worry about you nearly as much as I should, and that eats at me more and more as the time passes, even though I tell myself I have no idea what's happening back home and have no way of knowing if you're frozen in time or whatever and haven't even realized I'm gone.

[thebestseller]

As much as you got on my nerves sometimes, I miss you like hell, too. Funny how you get so used to someone's presence, when they're gone, it's strange being without them. I hope you're doing okay without me.

[thebestseller]

Part of me actually cares about you and thinks you feel the same way deep underneath all the layers of arrogance and snobbery and teenage angst, and I'm also scared as hell of you. It's a really weird way to feel about someone.

[thebestseller]

There really aren't sufficient words to describe the way I feel about you, and considering my profession, that's a pretty hard thing to accomplish. I think we're both very screwed-up right now, and we're also the exact thing the other one needs to mend. If you ever leave, I don't know if I'd ever recover, and I hate putting that kind of pressure on a person, but it's the truth.

You're the one person in this galaxy I truly feel safe around, and you not being here makes it that much harder to deal with being stuck.

[allthezpms]

I still miss you and wish you were back here. You made me feel almost as safe as the person above, especially because I happened to be on your good side.

[allthezpms]

I'm not quite sure how we got to be friends, but we did, and I'm glad. You're one of the few people who can make me feel humbled.

[allthezpms]

Hardly a day goes by where I don't blame myself for what happened to you. I know you don't blame me- you're not that kind of person. But that doesn't stop me from blaming myself nonetheless. Because, seriously, fuck exploding tumors.

[allthezpms]

You were right and I was wrong. There. I said it. Frame these words for posterity. I was completely in the wrong, I was an asshole to you, and I wish I could redo those four years we weren't speaking. Because, really... you've saved my bacon more than once, and maybe we could both have ended up in the Stargate program in an official capacity.

... I love you. You know that, right? Of course you do. But I need to say that more often.

[allthezpms]

It continues to surprise me that an amazing woman like you could ever fall for a guy like me, but hey, I'm not going to complain. You make me feel young again. I hope some day you can really, truly see for yourself how special you are- not just to me, but to everyone on the base.

I love you. And here, trapped on this island, I miss you like hell.

I know that being stuck here wasn't my fault. I believe the Doctor when he says you're safe back home and that time is frozen for you, too. I also know that you disappearing had nothing to do with me, but knowing all of these things does not make me feel less guilty about them. I feel an ache inside my heart every day that passes without me going home, or without you coming back to me, and I don't know how to make it go away.

Know that I still love you, no matter what. I still love you more than anybody else in the universe, more than most people can fathom loving someone else, and will be waiting for you.

I know you think highly of me, but I'm still not sure that I deserve it. I also know that you don't think I should think all that highly of you, but, well, you did lay the groundwork for many of the things I would later accomplish. Sometimes I feel like I'm only strong for having stood on your shoulders, and I have to remind myself that I'm plenty smart in my own right for being able to pick up where you left off in the first place.
