30 Days Of John/Aeryn | Day 06. Your favorite John/Aeryn quote

Every John/Aeryn shipper understands when I say it’s impossible to choose one quote. This ship is all quotes. Jesus, take the wheel. But I’m just going to go with this one. This scene is perfection. There is angst in the best way possible, there’s love, there are tears and there are perfect quotes. The way John is desperate, willing to do anything so she won’t leave. :’( It’s when he realizes he doesn’t want two bones at all, he just wants Aeryn, no matter what. The rest is unimportant. Just let me die, OK? But Aeryn is just too hurt at the moment, she won’t be able to survive if she has to deal with losing John, again. God. I don’t have to say anything else, right? We all know the rest, coin toss ends badly, leading us to an emotionally exhausting journey. But totally worth it. I just have to put the whole quote here. I just have to.

John: I’m coming with you. Aeryn: No, I’m sorry. John: Well, you’re not leaving without me. Aeryn: What do you want? John: You. Aeryn: Well, I’m afraid it’s not that easy for me. You see, you died. I watched that happen and yet you’re still alive. I have to go. John: Then say goodbye. Aeryn: We don’t say goodbyes. John: We do this time. You see, you leave and then you come back and I can’t handle the in-between, Aeryn. Say goodbye. Aeryn: Fine. Goodbye, Crichton. John: John! My name is John. ‘Goodbye, John’ to my face. Aeryn: Guarantee you won’t die in my arms again. John: Guarantee me you won’t die in mine. Aeryn: I can, by leaving. John: Do you love John Crichton? Not him, not me. John Crichton. Aeryn: Yes. John: Then what does that taste like? Aeryn: Yesterday. John: Huh, well, nobody can compete with that. I am so much better dead. Aeryn: I can’t do this again. John: And I can’t let the one thing I love fly away in a crappy little ship! Aeryn: You once said it was as if the fates meant for us to be together. John: And I believe that. Aeryn: Then, if it’s true, we will be together again. John: Running away is not fate, Aeryn. Running away is running away. Fine, you know what? Fate, here. I’ve got fate. Fate, here. Aeryn: What? John: Coin toss. Aeryn: What? Like, that side up you stay? John: Absolutely, fate. Aeryn: Just make a frelling wormhole and go home. John: There is no home! There is no wormhole. There’s only you. Aeryn, anywhere in the universe. You pick the planet. Aeryn: It’s too late for that. John: It’s not too late. Aeryn: No, you’re not listening to me. It’s too late for me. Aeryn: You do this and we’ll never see each other again. Aeryn: Do you love Aeryn Sun? John: Beyond hope. Aeryn: Then don’t make me say goodbye and don’t make me stay.
