Link: If You're Thinking of Leaving (You're Leaving At a Very Bad Time)
Why This Must Be Read:
Even if you've never read Daniel/Janet, even if you've never considered the possibility, read this fic.pellucid introduces the story with "Only I could fix 'Heroes' and make it even more depressing" and then tells this future Heroes-AU with Janet dealing with the battered, bitter Daniel we have of seasons 9 and 10.
What we get is a fantastically in-character, beautiful story of Janet and Daniel (and Sam and Teal'c and everyone else around them) and a wonderfully-evolved exploration of how they got to where they are and how they deal with ways their experiences make them change and all the ways in which death seems to stalk them all.
"Daniel," Nick asked once, as she retreated, "what happened to the other doctor? That lovely woman who was so worried when you were missing."
He thought of Janet leaving, blamed himself for driving her away. "She doesn't work here anymore," he said evenly, and he clenched his fists only a little and almost looked Nick in the eye.
"That is too bad," Nick replied sleepily. "I liked her."
He died in his sleep the morning of the sixth day, Daniel and Dr. Lam watching the monitors go flat. Daniel ran a hand over the three days' worth of stubble on his face and stumbled into the hall where Sam was waiting. She caught him in a hug and held on tight while Daniel buried his face in her neck, breathed in the familiar scent of her shampoo, and wondered why losing forgotten people still hurt so much.
