Yikes, what a position for Kara to find herself in. So glad Lee's there and being both supportive and practical.
I could definitely see Kara, and to a lesser extent Lee, enacting vengeance on Simon like this. Hard to read but well written. Boomer also came across very in-character.
I think Boomer at this point in time definitely would have done something like this. It was before the failure of New Cap and when she was still hopeful about fixing things, and saw herself as human rather than betraying her line and siding with Cavil. She wouldn't have been able to deny that Starbuck had been a close friend of hers, and to a lesser extent, Apollo as well. As for Simon...poor guy would be so frakked if he ever ran into Kara and Lee again (and Lee knew the truth about what happened on Caprica). Apollo, IMO, would definitely have made him hurt, which was why I really needed to write them both getting so lost in the anger to even think about stopping until it had gone so far.
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm such a fan of your hugely-long-fic that it means a lot to hear you say you enjoyed something I've done.
Thank you for your praise of WW! Hugely-long is right *grin*
I really, really want to read your We Used To Wait. I even started it but quickly realized that we were covering a major portion of the same ground. I was suddenly afraid I'd find myself either thinking how much better you 'did' this, or wishing I'd thought of 'that' first, or finding myself subconsciously copying some idea of your. I haven't had this issue with reading other people's work, and I think it's because yours was resonating with me so much that it freaked me out :) Believe me, once I've put WW to bed, I plan on going right back to WUTW to see what you did with yours!
I know how that is! When I was writing WUTW I didn't read anything else and then played huge catch-up afterward. I look forward to hearing what you have to say about it when you read it! (and looking forward to the rest of WW even more! -- Do you know how much more there is left to the story?)
RE: WW, still a lot of story to go. We are at about the point in S4 where the Cylons are fighting about lobotamizing the Raiders. I'm working along about the same timeline as canon. Wish I could write faster!

Very well done piece on a tough AU.
