Summary(/excerpt):
After losing Billy, it had been like a switch had been flipped. Dee had become greedy about every fleeting moment of joy, felt the near-misses more keenly, forged promises like a links in a binding chain, keeping those she loved close.
It’s probably not healthy, she admonishes herself in retrospect. It’s definitely not wise, especially given who she’s chosen to bind herself to.
But it’s all she has. And it’s enough, for now. More than this seems like asking for trouble, tipping the scales and straining the already-fraying knots they’ve wound themselves into.
Author's Notes:
Immediately follows the first fic in this au series, Syzygy, continuing with the premise that the Quad of Doom worked out a different way (per Caprica, group marriages are nbd, if uncommon, in the colonies). Covers ‘The Passage’ through ‘Crossroads.’
Again, Dee haters to the left.
All hail knitmeapony, comma-slayer and feels-wrangler, for inspiring my best work and bolstering my confidence when I didn’t think I had any left in me.
