OOOOOHHHH MORE BIRTHDAY TREATS!! Funny but I was actually going to ask for something from this ep!! LOL!! I love these scenes that build their relationship and show them starting to trust one another. I think them having these discussions would be exactly how they did that.

So sad in hindsight the way Laura talks about Billy...sniff!! It would have made such a difference if he had lived. I like the connection you make of Zak in the past and Billy in the present. Both so young to die, even though Billy is still with them. It packs such a strong emotion when we know what is to come and Laura is going to shoulder that pain and burden.

Wonderful fic!! Great piece of writing!! I loved it!! :) YAY for birthdays!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!

*tackles you with hugs*

Your original prompt didn't work! So I panicked! I figured that anything set during TMUTMD would be acceptable to you. :P

Billy and Zak, *sniffle* I wish that they had both lived longer. :( :( :(

Thanks for reading. :D xo

The mysterious Billy Will Be President conversation!

Interesting way to work it in there. Aw, cute Billy back story.

I've always wondered as to the context of that conversation, because Bill mentions it to Billy when they are travelling to Kobol. I figured that it would have happened at around this moment in season one.

Thanks for reading. :)

The image of Laura clearing the dishes is so adorable.

That's such a nice conversation between them. And I love how desperately she wants Adama to be a human.

Nice work.

I think Laura had cleaning OCD, :P we see that in DB when she is in CLEAN ALL THE THINGS mode after the baby shower.

Thanks for reading. :D

That was so domestic and sweet-strange to think there was a time when he didn't know things like whether she had children! Love all the Billy-love was so bittersweet...reading "when his time comes" was chilling, knowing what's in store for poor Laura. And I love that he shows her what he means by eventually doing some healing as he talks about memories of Zak. That time when there was the Cylon question hanging must have been awful!

I have made Billy-love. :D It breaks my heart that he died so soon in the series. :(
