I see what you did there, sneaky writers you! Laura and Bill have switched ailments. Very interested to see how this affects the development of their relationship and their own personal growth. I also really love the whole "all of this has happened before" theme which seems to grow stronger with each chapter. Nicely done. :)

You sound pretty sure of your conclusions there . . .

I'm thrilled that you like the BSG theme running throughout. We had fun playing with that and it does keep on building as the story moves forward. So glad you're still following along. :D

Oh, so you think! OK, we'll see how this goes... Anything is possible I suppose...

We decided one of the only ways we would be able to sell this story in any way would be to weave in that theme. Why the hell are they on a cruise ship? Well, maybe we can kind of explain... besides us being crazy.

Thanks for the comment. :D :D

Laura has a therapist? Is it Leoben? That would be hilarious.

Oh, the two of them bothering to care about one another. You know what that leads to... retiring together.

wishflsinfl October 21 2012, 20:50:39 UTC

OMG, that would be hysterical. But, sadly, no. Oh damn. Now I want to add a scene.

icedteainthebag October 22 2012, 02:52:29 UTC

Yeah, I think we're going to need to write some missing scenes later on.

You just keep hitting home runs with your theories! First polio, now joint retirement... sigh. We can't do this if you're going to keep being right. :D

Hah, I was right. Or at least so far I was right.

Also, I really liked this chapter, because it feels like this is exactly right, exactly what would have happened, and it didn't get too bad or messy in the process. :)

wishflsinfl October 21 2012, 20:51:54 UTC

It's great to hear that you thought this chapter hit the right notes for them. Because after that bar scene, where to go from there, ya know? Thank you for reading and commenting as we post!

icedteainthebag October 22 2012, 02:53:19 UTC

I'm so glad it seemed like this worked for you. It was tough to figure out what to do with them after they did all that! So that it felt believable is a huge relief. :)

Well, congrats to you... so far... ;)

Still so brilliant. I can actually hear their voices reading this.

wishflsinfl October 21 2012, 20:52:28 UTC

Thank you! It's always nice to hear that the characters feel true to the original rendering.

icedteainthebag October 22 2012, 02:53:33 UTC

Thank you so, so much. :)

I am enjoying this story so far very very much. I sadly stopped reading fan-fiction for a while, but now I will check this site again on a daily basis!!!!

I was surprised that there were no interruptions in chapter three and have to say the conversation before the sex was as special as the sex itself!

Chapter four was so sad. I’m worried the rest of the story will stay this way…. What surprised me the most is how I felt about reading that Laura is an alcoholic. I always felt sorry for Bill being one, but to read the same about Laura was actually painful!?!?!?!?

wishflsinfl October 21 2012, 20:54:41 UTC

Conversation as foreplay! My favorite kind of A/R seduction. ;-)

Laura as an alcoholic was hard to write and revealed some interesting aspects of her character. The more I thought about it, the less of stretch it seemed.

Thank you for letting us know that you're enjoying the story. There are still some twists and turns to come.

Aren't they so sexy when they're talking to each other? Sigh. I love it. I'm glad you felt it was special. It's like word sex. And they only really do that for each other. :)

I'm glad this makes you want to come back for more. It's been so long since I posted fic here. It's great to see you back and reading.

It's an interesting thing you're saying about Laura being an alcoholic's impact on you. I think it's harder for me to handle her being one because she was my favorite character, and everything about her seemed very logical and level-headed. Probably a lot more reasons than that. Sorry we're making you sad. I hope you hang on.
