Thanks so much, I'm thrilled you enjoyed this! And very happy that you felt I hit the right note with late-series G'Kar's voice. The thing I fretted about most was capturing his lyricism without having him sound like a charicature of himself; it's a thin line between the two, and I wasn't sure I'd nailed it. I don't think I've ever gone so deeply into G'Kar's POV before, either. By the time I was halfway into the story, I almost felt like I was channeling him instead of writing about him. *g* Writing Lyta was harder than I expected, especially since we're supposed to see her as G'Kar sees her, which meant every explanation I wanted to give about her motivations had to be filtered through the lens of G'Kar's thoughts first. Also, late-series Lyta isn't exactly painted very subtly in canon, is she?

And I love that you loved the action scene! The story just wouldn't have felt complete without a little mini-adventure to go with it - Lyta and G'Kar exploring the universe, yay! So glad it worked for you!

*blushes* Thanks for the compliment. Sadly, Lyta and G'Kar still seem to be an underappreciated combination in fic; my personal favorite remains Kangeiko's I hear you, which I don't doubt you know? :) As for other Lyta/G'Kar stories that actually provide a resolution to Lyta's storyline, I don't think I've ever seen any. :( Have you had more luck?

(Your G'Kar icon is still as adorable as always, by the way. *hugs smileyface G'Kar*)
