Guuuh. This is brilliant. Not only does it have Lee and Kara, but Helo as an added bonus. So going into my Memories.

SQUEE!!!!!!!!!!

*twirls dm around*

I don't know why, but I always worry when I set one loose on the world until I get my first comments. You have made me feel immeasurably better. Thanks, man!

I'm so glad you liked it and I'm honored that you liked it enough to keep it. :D <--me, beaming

I feel oddly warm for reading a fic with no overt smut. *fans self* I really LOVE the interaction between Zarek and Lee; it has that edgy and darkmenace that characterizes them in my mind and makes them so fun to watch together. All of this is really good, but I can totally SEE that scene, and hear Bamber and Hatch's voice at that part...so much so I got shivers. Great stuff.

Well, it is chock full of piloty hotness. O_o I tell you, I was sweating this one, because there was just no inspiration until just a very days ago, when everything clicked and I was able to write again. (I think it was just Six, messing with my head from the Helo/Six fic I was writing when I should've been writing this one. :P )

I just love Zarek, in an I-hate-you-you-smarmy-bastard kind of way.

Thanks for reading, babe. :D

Hee. I had about half a plot on mine, and the rest sort of came as it went along. NaNo has done wonders for my improv skill, I think. But I really enjoyed this. The voices... Dialogue is THE most important thing to me. I can deal with all manner of clunky prose (not that this has any), but if the dialogue's bad, I'm out. You hear the character's voices VERY well, and that's why I will read anything you write.

Yeah; Zarek's totally the guy you love to hate. I know Hatch must be having a ball playing him. I would.

I really enjoyed this. I liked Lee's interaction w/ Helo and Kara. And even the little glimps of Zarek.

The characterization is perfect. And this left me wanting more.

Thanks for sharing.

Yay! I'm glad you liked it. Once the blockage went away, it was a lot of fun to write this one.

I love the little touches in this story. For example, the currency issue and Lee's sudden fixation on the girl's eye color. And you have a great handle on Lee's voice. It's neat seeing Kara, and particularly Helo, through another POV. Awesome continuity of your BSG verse as well (yeah, I noticed). Looking forward to your Racetrack story!

I probably shouldn't have snuck this in to the meeting to read, but oh well.

sabaceanbabe November 30 2005, 21:14:48 UTC

It's all in the details, baby. All in the details.

Um, my BSG 'verse? Why, whatever do you mean? *whistles innocently*

Well, you have to do something to stay awake during meetings. O_o

Good reading. Loved the interaction between Helo and Lee.

sabaceanbabe December 1 2005, 14:17:29 UTC

Thank you. :D

That whole scene clicked into place in this fic because I kept thinking about Lee in Pegasus telling the evil!CAG "two friends of mine have been arrested..." There had to be something that we never saw on screen that made him think of Helo as a friend.
