Did you read [livejournal.com profile] friendshipper's Staring at the Sun (http://community.livejournal.com/sga_flashfic/607451.html) (part of the sga_flashfic Wordless Challenge)? That shared a similar premise with "Afterlife" -- permanent brain damage of a major character, care by a parent and the presence of the deeply hurt best friend -- and also left me aching. Not for their death, but for their loss while they're still alive and maybe, maybe, still there, in part, somewhere deep down.

Those two didn't make me cry, but "Locked Up and Set Free" did (though not as hard or as long as the ones I mentioned in my post) -- you probably know the line I mean, at the end -- and in the middle of a workday, no less. There, too, it wasn't a character death that did it, but the miscommunication. If only he'd said what he felt! If only he'd made the right moves when there was still time! It's one of the things that moves me about "Aftershocks," too.
