What a lovely remix. You have Leoben's voice down. I love how he sees everything through the filter of his belief in this story. It's a lovely bookend piece to the original.

Oh, wow! The poetry of this fits Leoben so well. I love the double-ness of everything he says--there's not a single lie in here, and yet Caprica has no idea what she's done. Excellent!

Wow. This is an awesome look at Leoben, at what makes him tick and how he thinks.

I came because of Suzanne Vega and because I love that song. :-) I kept reading because yay, another story (with the original two, actually!) about how Leoben got Kacey. Interesting how Leoben thinks and how he sees the world. I particularly like the way he views Caprica, vulnerable and trapped in her love for Baltar.

I also like your use of color here. Sunlight stretches, cold white bulkheads and gold against grey. Very, very nice imagery.

YOU ARE MY FAVORITE.

I am speechless with how awesome this is. I was really anxious about doing a remix, and having someone rearrange one of my little baby fics into whatever they wanted, but this- this just enhances and makes it ten times better and yet makes it into something completely different at the same time and it's delicious. I feel like you got the tone down perfectly, and Caprica's emotions in particular and Leoben's reasoning and the inclusion of God and "white pills and gentle touches" which isn't that important of a line but I love the rhythm of those words and you reused them, and the echo of what Leoben likes about New Caprica, how they use the detention center as a landmark, and I could quote everything back to you, but the gist of it would be that I love you for being so amazing.

In conclusion: EPIC FLAILING! Thank you so, so much!
