lover100Author's Note: Um, this deals with illness/possible death in a non-negative way. I don't know, give me the prompt 'kitten' and I'll write about someone's childhood trauma over losing a pet, but give me 'goodbye' and i'm all 'life is beautiful'. Also, I took a ton of liberties with this -- sorry about that.
Summary:Spoilers up to 5.19 -- full of references to prior episodes.
This is the dance they do, before every major surgery, before every procedure. Dancing around the elephant in the room and the words they'd rather not say. They never can quite get it right.( think it's best if we give it a rest )
