Title: Infidelirium
Fandom: Battlestar Galactica
Rating: R for references to sex and violence.
Word count: 3850
Notes: This one...oh, really, there's no good excuse. It began because I wanted my Anders to meet bantha_fodder's Dee, and that morphed into me seeing if I could write angsty bitter Anders/Dee. And...I did. And that somehow nudged me in the right

I am supposed to be doing schoolwork! BUT I AM TOTALLY NOT, because I was rereading this. I hadn't seen the Gaius section, because the last time I peeked was yesterday afternoon! Awesome.

I already told you that I love this so I am telling you again. I like the structure and the style, and my favorite one remains Kat or Helo, though I clearly have a soft spot for PILOTS...and Cally's and...hmm, well. I love them all, actually so I shall just cease qualifying now.

ALSO, speaking of Anders On Galactica, I was randomly struck with the desire to finish mine, thus putting the lie to the whole WIP Amnesty thing, but whatev. Could you be a dear and look over it for me when you have a chance?

Gaius was hard. And I totally threw in my own deep and abiding love for Jessix, who really should have had more then five minutes of screentime.

HURRAH. Sure! Send it over and I'll look at it this weekend. Anders On Galatica deserves to be a genre in its own right.

This is fantastic. Just gorgeous; I especially love the little contrasts each section presents to the next, or the previous: comfort or guilt or necessity or revenge or confusion or relief... this is a hell of a set of vignettes. And so starkly painted! But they feel and are visual to read, and not narrative at all; really beautifully done.

[fahye]

Ooh, thank you! I was definitely going for contrast, never quite keeping the mood the same.

this was exciting! the mystery of not-quite-seeing who's who kept me hurtling from one section to the next. And I love how you zero in on telling personal details - Helo missing the Caprican grass, Cally flinching from Zarek's voice.

Just infidelicious, as someone said.

[fahye]

Heheh. I was actually kind of worried that my random pronouns would just make everyone walk away in disgust. You worked them all out in the end?

[indigo419]

yes - you were very clever! plus, it upped the reread quotient! :0)

How do you DO that? A few lines and I'm right inside Kat's head and a few seconds later Baltar's. Most impressively I didn't want to scrub my brain out after I'd lived in Ellen's (which is an achievement and a half).

I *adored* Cally's segment... Just. Oh! Somehow it leaks through, though. Just at the edges. That just made my fingernails cut my palms in sympathy.

you made me like Anders again. AND.

I'M NOT EVEN SULKING!

This is the power of good fic (and stupid lj keyboard shortcuts).

[fahye]

Wow, that's a great compliment. I really did enjoy trying to tease out the voices of the characters who don't get ficced much - admittedly, Ellen's did make me feel like I should go and read pilotsmut to CLEANSE MY MIND, but I think it was a good exercise.

I have not forgotten your request! I am waiting for a bunny to present itself. I think I'll need to write something happy next, so hopefully your prompt will fit the bill :)

I loved this. The small little glimpses into each person's mind. And the simplicity. I've always been a sucker for simplicity.

[fahye]

And I've always erred on the elaborate side of things, so I did make a real effort for simplicity here. Thank you :D
