Fic: Bittersweet Symphony

Pairing: VM/OB, SB/OB implied
Rating, Warnings: overall NC-17, AU
Summary: Viggo watches a plane crash and helps the survivors – one of whom will change the direction of his life.
Disclaimer: This is a work of celebrity fan FICTION. I make no claims as to the veracity of these portrayals. This work is for entertainment purposes only.
Author’s Note: Beta by the graciousrazzleslash. This plotline is very loosely based on a rather obscure 1980s movie. Whoever guesses the correct one first will win a LOTR RPS Orlando one-shot of their choice. I’ll reveal the movie after the last chapter -- I don’t want to risk giving possible plot points away.
Feedback: PLEASE.

Viggo entered the hospital, walking over to the same nurse’s station he had approached all those months ago. “Excuse me?”
The nurse looked up. “Mr. Mortensen! It’s great to see you again.”
Viggo smiled, although it didn’t reach his eyes. “Thanks. Could you help me out?”
“Of course.”
“I’m looking for a phone number for the fellow brought in from the plane crash I reported that night. I want to check on him and see how he’s doing,” Viggo said.
“Well, normally we’re not allowed to give out that information. But I do recall some contact info on the police report that was also put in your own file – and I can give you a copy of anything in your file,” she answered with a smile.
Viggo brightened a bit. “That’s great, thanks.”
“Let me find the file. I’ll be right back.” The nurse headed back into the office, leaving Viggo to his thoughts.
His eyes closed as if staving off pain. Get a grip, he told himself. No reason to break down. No reason to be upset. Everything’s fine.
His internal pep talk was interrupted by the nurse’s return.
“OK, let me just find…oh bloody hell…” Viggo looked over the desk as the papers slipped from the nurse’s hand, scattering on the floor. His mouth quirked as she gathered the file’s contents. “What’s this? Oh, well, it’s good you’re here. We forgot to give this to you.”
Viggo froze, looking at the proffered envelope with his name handwritten on the front. “Who’s it from?” he asked, voice faint.
“Mr. Bean, actually. He wrote it that night and left it for you. We were supposed to give it to you as soon as you woke up. I’m sorry; it got put in your file and forgotten. Maybe the information you want is in there?”
Viggo nodded slowly. “Thanks,” he answered absently as he carefully accepted the envelope, steeling himself to read what the letter inside said. He took a steadying breath as he unfolded the crinkled paper, shaking off déjà vu.
The nurse watched him read, frowning as his hands started shaking. She blinked in surprise when tears started running openly down his cheeks. He looked absolutely devastated.
“Mr. Mortensen?” the nurse asked, concerned. But before his name was even out of her mouth, he was running out the sliding doors.

Bittersweet Symphony by the Verve
'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony, this life
Trying to make ends meet
You're a slave to money then you die
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
You know the one that takes you to the places
where all the veins meet yeah
No change, I can't change
I can't change, I can't change
But I'm here in my mind
I am here in my mind
But I'm a million different people
from one day to the next
I can't change my mind
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no (fading away)
Well I never pray
But tonight I'm on my knees yeah
I need to hear some sounds that recognize the pain in me, yeah
I let the melody shine, let it cleanse my mind, I feel free now
But the airways are clean and there's nobody singing to me now
No change, I can't change
I can't change, I can't change
But I'm here in my mind
I am here in my mind
And I'm a million different people
from one day to the next
I can't change my mind
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
I can't change
I can't change it
'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony, this life
Trying to make ends meet
Trying to find some money then you die
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
You know the one that takes you to the places
where all the veins meet yeah
You know I can't change, I can't change
I can't change, I can't change
But I'm here in my mind
I am here in my mind
And I'm a million different people
from one day to the next
I can't change my mind
No, no, no, no, no
I can't change my mind
no, no, no, no, no,
I can't change
Can't change my body,
no, no, no
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
Been down
Ever been down
Ever been down
Ever been down
Ever been down
That you've ever been down
That you've ever been down
