Why This Must Be Read: Paian writes the most wonderful Five Things - I've recced many of them before. This pair of Five Things features Jonas Quinn and George Hammond: five times Jonas wanted to go home, and five things George did when he retired.

I very much like that Paian chose to archive these two together, for the sheer poignancy of the sharp contrast of what Jonas and Hammond face. Once Jonas walked away from Kelowna in Meridian, he never really had a home again; and in the bright and gentle future that Paian lovingly paints for George, he enjoys home in every sense of the word, in both his family and his choices.

Paian offers wincing angst with the first set and then alleviates it with sweet hope in the second. In both cases, you'll find yourself enjoying every word.

Thanks for the rec- two awesome sets of 'five things' for two characters that I love. Jonas in particular always has the potential for very thoughtful, introspective and slightly angsty ficlets and 'five things' and its a (bittersweet pleasure) to read a good 'un.
