My poor precious darling and all the contradictions in her mind! I love all of it- her finding Julius's trowel, "that onslaught of intimacy,"- but I especially love the bits about being used to shared thoughts, the comfort of familiar reasoning, and not knowing where she ended and her sister began, because I looove thinking about Cylons and their particular kind of intimacy.

Oooh. I like the way you show us the internal side of Cylon groupthink, and how Caprica experiences it.

Oooh, interesting portrayal of how those head!characters (whatever they were) have this twisted intimate relationships. Nicely done.

*kneels at your feet* Far better than I did. bravo!

I never really gave much thought to Caprica or her sisters, but your account here (this fic) makes me consider giving them a second chance.

it's interesting to read of cylon (Caprica's) fears, and other, related, emotions...like the thing somewhere between guilt and heaviness.

superb.

Ooh, this is fascinating! I haven't given much thought before to how head!Gaius would have influenced Caprica beyond the events of downloaded, but it would have been rather terrible for her to have him there as a constant reminder of what she'd done. Very interesting!
