I'll Live. (In spite of myself) by Starlight_Bluelight

Summary
Jude Murray loved his wife and his son more than anything in the world until they were ripped away from him.
He may hate himself, but not even self loathing could suppress that small, insistent voice in the back of his head.
"Live," it told him. "Would you really let this disgusting Alternate live over yourself? Fucking fight it Jude. Avenge who it took from you."
It wasn't the inspirational message he had been looking for, but it was the one he needed. Dying to some filthy Alternate? Him? Hell no.
He may hate himself, but he hated that damned Alternate more.

Summary
"You will look into the faces of passers by hoping for something that will, for an instant, bring me back to you. You will find moonlit nights strangely empty, because, when you call my name through them, there will be no answer. Always your heart will be aching for me, and your mind will give you the doubtful consolation that you did, a good thing."
