Summary: John, back on Earth, finds himself in a mental institution. A nurse tells his story.
Review:
Farscape has done several episodes where John experiences delusions of being back on Earth, and being taken as mentally unbalanced, and "In One of These Dreams" expands on this. The story is narrated from the POV of a nurse in Ward Six, a mental institution where Crichton is being held. The narrator, George, tells of how John deals (or doesn't) with the fact that he probably imagined the entire experience on Moya, until an old 'friend' comes to visit him. This fic has a lot of angst, but it's also very poignant, and there's a definite surreal quality to the whole thing.
