And I thought I'd never write BSG fic. Silly girl. There but for the grace of the muse go I...

This is stunning, Meredith. I feel like this could slot into the show. Wow. Really, I wasn't planning to read it all until my nap but I just couldn't tear my eyes away.

Best paragraph:

What he wants is a reaction, worry or anger or tears. What he wants is something other than the merely friendly, measured dialogues. He wants the intimacy suggested by her whisper and her stance-- he wants to cut her open, crawl inside and *know*. For Helo, she will cry, or stroke the glass as if to reassure. For Helo, her voice has some unknown variable, something he had to miss to understand. His own feelings veer like some crazy pendulum, they arc and sputter, sizzle and die.

Wow, thank you so much for sharing. This is the best Tyrol piece I've ever read.

Definitely going to post this to hidden_elysium, right? :)

Wow-- thank you so much for the kind praise, Amsie. Getting the feel of the show was what I was going for, but I really felt that I'd fallen short, which was why I was hesitant to post. I'm so glad you enjoyed it, and that Sharon's characterization worked for you. Caprica!Sharon is harder to write than Galactica!Sharon, for some reason. ^^;

I did post at HE. Thank you for inviting me!

Also, I loved Sharon's characterisation. Not too human or sympathetic.

I found your stroy through shadowserenity. And wow, this was incredible. It gave me all that the actual TV show won't be able to get into I think. Wow, no words. :)

You're far too kind! I can't thank you enough for the comment. It's gonna be hard to wait two weeks to see how everything plays out, ne?

I know! Somethings gotta happen between Tyrol and Helo don't you think?

Hi

Excellent story

I have posted in other places whether the chief would ever come to terms with his feeling for G-Sharon, this almost sounds like it could come from the show.

Imagine the chief trying to find a copy of the Sharon Cylon with the memories of G-Sharon

Thanks for the comment, Weissman. I don't think Tyrol will get over this so easily, either. In a way, his trust was broken more deeply than he could have imagined, and now he has this other Sharon around to remind him. You bring up a good point about a copy which might have G!Sharon's memories. We don't exactly know how the transfer works yet-- only that Cylon copies don't seem to fear death.

Very nicely done. (I, too, came here on Amsie's recommendation.) Tyrol is just so confused right now and it's going to be very difficult for him to get over it. I wonder if he ever runs into Helo during his visits, or if he times it so that Helo won't generally be there?

[garnettrees]

Amsie is so kind to pimp me, isn't she? ^^; I'm so glad you enjoyed the story!

I wonder if he ever runs into Helo during his visits, or if he times it so that Helo won't generally be there?
I imagine he's walked in on them on accident once or twice, and now makes it his priority to know Helo's on duty before he goes to see Sharon. ^_^;;
