Fair Winds and Following Seas

I think this has to be a fic about Our Heroes (1899 edition) leaving the simulation and the Kerberos behind after the end of - well, of the plot. It wasn't a pleasant experience for any of them, but it's hard to say goodbye to any kind of home, because the line between who you are and what's your home can be terribly thin, can't it? even if who you are (in the context of 1899 as a simulation) was some kind of an external imposition? The Kerberos was real to them, for a time & for good and ill, but it's finally gone, and that's not a painless realization.

#let's be real: 75% of this would be eyk larsen losing it over failing to be a good captain AND THEN realizing how little it mattered? #not pictured: me; squinting and thinking: isn't that the title of the last episode of JAG? #my fic #... sorta #ask meme #polkaknox talks
