That is so amazingly sexy! And the way Lee takes charge and just takes what he wants - hot!

Thanks very much! I really liked Olaf's story and was so intrigued by the thought that Lee, who never asks for what he wants but always sidles into them and finds a way to get them (usually), would want to get caught! :)

Wow! Something about the pacing of this piece is relentless and inevitable. Just like these two in this affair. I couldn't stop reading and they can't stop . . . :-)

Favorite line:
He knows he never asked for it again, but somehow, some way, over the course of the years, it became his.
That says it all right there to me. :-) Fab story!

Thanks DB! Did you know it was mine? I think maybe you didn't. HEE.

Oh Lee, and his roundabout way of getting what he wants...that thought really intrigued me.

[daybreak777]

Not a clue. :-) I didn't try to guess this year though I should have known. You know I love your stories and read nearly every single one. Even when I don't know it's you.

Oh, this is fantastic! Somehow dark and achy and fun all at once. I really loved the inclusion of the toy viper thing, and this was maybe my favorite line: Lee doesn’t remember until two decades later when he sits on his couch in the early dawn one morning, his tongue still tingling with the taste of whiskey and his brother’s girlfriend, and he picks up the model viper from its perch on his coffee table.

Thank you girl! There's a photo of Jamie in the flashback pigeon scene where he's sitting on the couch holding a toy viper...that's kind of where the beginning of this came from (along with a dose of homage to leda's Fearful Symmetry). :)

Ouch. That's a fantastic story, very passionate and full of longing, but also gut-wrenching and angsty at the same time. ♥ ♥ ♥

Thank you. The original was really great with its delicious dark side of Lee and it was fun to play with that.

This is so much better than the original! :D No, really, you took some smut I threw together for bsg_pornbattle and turned it into a real story. I adore it.

Thanks so much for doing such a wonderful job with this!

Oh I'm so glad you like it!! When I got the assignment, I went to read your stories and this was the most recent BSG one but it kind of sang to me right away. I really liked it at the porn battle and the idea that Lee might want to get caught was really intriguing to me.

It's funny though because at first I thought this had to take place in S1 but then I saw your note that you were thinking of it as being around the EOJ/Rapture time. Very interesting!
