I'm sorry I waited until it was finished to read and comment - I like to read things all in one go!

This is a premise that I would NEVER normally have gone for, but because it was you & I'm in a BSG kick, I gave it a whirl.

I really enjoyed this. I'm normally very iffy about AU but it just worked. There was just enough of Bill in Laura and vice versa (character wise, though of course the frakking was a bonus lol) to make it a really interesting departure. So many AU fics either slap the character names on entirely random personalities or insert the show's character into a place and situation where they just don't belong and don't fit. Everyone here worked for me though; they were either different enough to make sense where they were or hilariously the same. Oh Gaius. :p

It was the right balance of crack and actual substance though. I had a bit of an "Are those sharks with laser beams?" moment when the raider!sharks appeared - tell me that was a little bit Austin Powers inspired? ;) I loved all the random elements - especially the song. OMG. And Ellen got to be AWESOME! Loved her, loved her. Her relationship with Bill was great - though the herp line made me inhale some water...

Seriously with the ripping my heart out & stomping on it though? SERIOUSLY? Naughty corner for you. Ron Moore is still there; you can hang out.

No worries! It's wonderful to get such a long thoughtful wrap-up comment. :D

Also, true confession icedteainthebag and I aren't huge fans of AUs either, so it's a little crazy that we just wrote something so insanely AU. I'm so glad it worked for you, especially since you aren't usually into AUs.

This is such a wonderful and lovely comment. Thank you for leaving it! I'm so glad we made this AU work for you. We weren't even sure if it would work. But it was a lot of fun.

Sorry about the bummer of the ending. It just felt right but it did really depress me to write it.

The Raider Sharks weren't Austin Powers inspired, I swear! I was tryin to think of the nautical equivalent of Raiders and it just happened...

Heading to naughty corner now. It's where I hang out most days anyway. I have a special seat there.
