Fic: If You Would Be True, Love (Roswell, Max/Liz, PG)

Part of the great AO3 fic upload that continues to proceed at a snails pace and because there’s a new iteration of Roswell just about to crest the horizon. THIS IS OLD! Originally posted to my old archive back on 5/10/02. I can't believe I've been writing fic for that long. Although from here to now, I can see the improvement. YAY! Development!

Title: If You Would Be True, Love
Fandom: Roswell (TV 1999)
Rating: PG
A/N: AU Futurefic. Spoiled for Destiny, End of the World, Cry Your Name and Departure.
Feedback: Is like air and highly addictive. In other words, yes please!
Disclaimer: Roswell belongs to Melinda Metz, Jason Katims, Sandollar, UPN, et al. I'm just taking them out for a little exercise.
Summary: In a shabby motel room in the middle of nowhere Liz realizes that some things are better left unsaid.

reason cannot know." -- Pascal


Dying is a lost art. It isn't something that people do well anymore. Liz knows that she won't die gracefully, languid and beautifully tragic; she isn't Greta Garbo. Her death will be sad and maybe a little pathetic. It's too clichéd to really be anything else.

Unfortunate.

Perhaps that is a better word. It doesn't carry the romantic ring of tragic, but it's much more promising than sad and kinder than pathetic. Unfortunate. When had they become so unfortunate?
