Talking to your Pocket (The Box Set Remix)
Now that the bsg_remix has revealed authors, I can claim my story. And once again recommend that people go read the excellent remix done of my Magnus by sunshine_queen.
Warnings: takes place around Escape Velocity
Title, Author and URL of original story: Everybody Knows by astreamofstars
Most excellent beta and cheerleader: lacklusterfic
( Summary: We are born alone. We die alone. The closer we try to hold the people in our lives, the more they slip away. The more you try to slip out of people's lives, the tighter you are held. The only things you can count on are guilt and remembrance. )

I love this line. Her books, which once had been his. I so see this about Laura. Taking the books without asking because she just knows Bill will let her take them. And of course, he will.
And it's typical dark queen to set quite a bit of this fic in a period when she's left his quarters after a fight and too much drinking! Aaaah, kill me, why don't you.
More killing: It's important to keep families together. It's not a skill he's ever possessed, but he's never going to stop trying. *sob*
This section is brilliant. He sees her during the day, she uses his office as hers, he sits by her side when she gets her treatments. It should be enough. It never is. He has a rule: if he's picked up the phone three times to call her quarters, if he's started for the hatch twice to go visit, he allows himself to open the drawer, play with the papers. Shows the way they are playing out their relationship at the time.
But look! There's a touch of rct! Loves me, but can't say it aloud. ♥
Another thing I liked about this was, even though I did read the original, I didn't have to. It still made sense as a stand-alone.
Brilliant, as per.
