Aw. It's been at least a year since I watched Farscape but I could hear Chiana so clearly while reading your story :)

[sabaceanbabe]

Yay! Thank you. I always worry that I'll lose her voice and she and John are my POV characters for the whole show.

I liked this. not only do I have much Farscape love, but you nailed Chiana. I like how you dealt with her feelings in the aftermath of D'argo's death, even as it is years after.

Two typos that I saw: 4th paragraph from the end, second sentence - "bad" should be "bed" and 2nd to last paragraph, D's sentence "I'll pertect you" should that be "I'll protect you"?

[lee_in_limbo]

I agree with the first correction, but I think the second was just brave boy talk.

[vipersweb]

yeah, I wasn't sure about the second one which is why it's question marked. :)

I don't like writing dialogue myself, and certainly not for kids so I'm never quite certain.

[lee_in_limbo]

*nods* I know what you mean (and yeah, I spotted the '?' :) ). I've read a fair bit of SB's dialogue at this point, and tend to hear it in my head pretty well these days.

L o L,
onto SB's wiley dialogue tricks :D

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahh... no fair making me laugh AND cry!

This is so good. Not being able to give the baby back, and where do babies come from/frelling like bunnies, and sister=alarm ha! And then you had to go and do the 'day little D was born, the day D'Argo died' and them being an item. Waaah!

But woo, Jothee came back! *highfive* So totally the way it needs to be. Thanks so much for playing, baby! This was *excellent.*

[sabaceanbabe]

*highfives you back*

It makes me ridiculously happy that you like this. Hee.

[lee_in_limbo]

That's really sweet. I hope she enjoyed it. It certainly seems to fit he continuity, as I remember it.

And I like your work with Chi, as usual.

L o L,

You should thank cretkid profusely that it didn't cause a need for an insulin shot. ;)

Thank you, my dear.

[lee_in_limbo]

Well, Cretkid is good like that. *hugs*

L o L,

[sabaceanbabe]

Thank you so much! :D
