The thing is, the story isn't about that.
That's a perfectly rational viewpoint. I am not coming from a rational place. I am coming from a DON'T HURT MY WOOBIES place.
Jayne: Captain, can you stop her from bein' cheerful, please? Mal: I don't believe there is a power in the 'verse that can stop Kaylee from being cheerful. Sometimes you just wanna duct tape her mouth and dump her in the hold for a month.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
You know, I look at it, and I see it so much about John. John being the central character by virtue of his absence. He's not even named. Rodney's telling the story of seven years of his life, where John and Atlantis became his home; and I'm left to wonder if there's actually anything buried in that grave. Or if it's just a marker for something that was shut behind a gate.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I think there was a reference to the grave being empty.

If I only had a brain...
I don't actually think they let you engrave custom messages in Arlington National Cemetery anyway. You're stuck with the standard name, rank, dates, and possible religious symbol. No "to my own sweetie woobie" or even "Gone before".

And for a change of pace, check out Trinityofone's Band AU: [link] A bit too much John-is-beautiful, but it's very fun, and the art is a hoot.

So I suspect that Trinityofone has no job. Because she just posted a really crackaddled and very funny post-ep for Allies. [link]
How on earth does she write so fast?
