So, I broke down and watched the full trailer on the Halo site for Halo 4.  I don't want to say too much, but let's just say that some tears of joy might have been shed.  Dude, I have missed these two crazy kids.

And if that wasn't epic enough, patriot_jackie posted her Halo fic, To the End. It is amazing.  The characterization is spot on. The plot, while angsty, fits this universe so well.  I might be planning to print it out and write hearts with "117 + 0425-9 = Love" all over it, LOL.  Seriously, if you ever wonder why these two are my longest running OTP, read it and you'll get it.  This fic, guys, seriously.
