Can’t match the intensity of Tarzan’s previous ficlet, so I won’t even try.

Since wikipedia seems the information center of choice, here’s the general breakdown of the “weird” terms above:

Blake’s resurrection tattoo, by the way, was previously mentioned here:

Oh, that was sweet. Blake’s a chess player, right? That son-of-a-gun is always three moves ahead. Running recon in the afterlife – very cool.

Thanks, Tarzan. Blake only has his brains and tattoos to fight the world of hurt that he exists in. So, well, yea, I guess he is a chess player… out of necessity.

And, silly as it sounds, I was kinda eager to use the previously mention resurrection tattoo. It was a throw-away line originally, but it was a lot of fun to exploit here.

Wow! It’s not as intense, but it is just as fantastic.

OK, read it, then the Wiki pages, and then read it again.

First time through, I just liked it because you found a way to bring Blake back without bringing down the integrity of the whole series and your writing.

Second time through, I was impressed that not only was Blake alive, but dying seems to have been part of his plan all along. Though, someone might’ve warned Simon. . .
