( I, who am nothing but thinking thing, would not feel pain when the body was hurt, but would perceive the damage purely by intellect, just as a sailor perceives by sights, if anything in his ship is broken. )

How many ways, exactly, can a heart break? Because I'm near certain you hit at least five here. This was beautiful, painfully so.

Thank you! It's nice, hearing that you accomplished the heartbreak you set out to cause.

dradiscontact May 21 2010, 08:19:27 UTC

No tears, though. I consider that a mad success on my part.

Well, I'm still claiming extra credit for being the first to turn in my exam paper.

Aaawww.

The commander is at home in his own skin. That's a great way to describe Bill. He soooo is. I think that's one of the reasons I find him so attractive.

And Laura not caring about what she's wearing or how she looks. This is so in character for me. Even though everyone goes on and on about how beautiful Laura is, I don't think she ever deliberately sets out to use her looks and seems blissfully unaware most of the time that she is pretty. This is one of the reasons why UB is so fantastic. She's flaunting and flirting with the red dress.

I'm glad he eventually teaches her to relax and let him touch her. That hand in the back gets me every time.

And Laura not caring about what she's wearing or how she looks.

It's the only excuse for the clothing she brought with her to Galactica.

But--I didn't make you cry? [sniff, sniff]

Well, no. I had a sad face though.

I'll have to see what it costs to ship a crate of onions to Australia.

That was beautiful! Heartbreakingly beautiful. And so very touching. Thanks a lot for sharing!

That's what I love about Roslin. She's always a heart-breaker.

This is the best thing I've read in an eon... just first rate.

The ending ("She hates her body for its betray, for repaying neglect with an eviction notice. The commander is at home in his own skin. She's forgotten where home is.") just sliced me in two.

Would you please make sure you post this at the Surivival Instinct archive so I can save it with my favorites?

Thank you! You know how much I love it when you like something I wrote. I'll post to SI this weekend.
