You had me at "Charles Xavier and Laura Roslin." It's fascinating to watch them feel each other out, and the ending is chilling.

Thank you! When I saw those two characters as the prompt, I jumped at, since I think they're both so interesting. I'm glad the interaction worked!

Disturbing ending, but one I can see happening. I just can't believe that the cylons wouldn't find earth; and I believe that Roslin would see a prophecy dealing with that. It's fun to see these two interacting together! Thank you!

[sheepfairy]

Thanks! I'm really glad the ending worked for people. I'm sort of the opinion that finding earth really couldn't turn out as well for the colonials as they'd hope. And I'm glad you liked the interaction!

You've tied these two fandoms together seamlessly. The ending was disturbing, with regards to the future of the human race. If you were going to continue this (and I'm hoping you would at later time), I think it'd be a very interesting, very involving read. You got me at "When he first sees Laura Roslin in person..." all the way to her surprise at seeing he's a cripple. Wonderful dynamics between these two. :) And the conversations were engaging.

Thanks for writing! Enjoyed myself immensely.

Thank you! I was a bit worried about getting the two universes to mesh, but I think it worked out well. And, it's interesting, because I was originally thinking that this would work really well as a longer fic (and it would be a little less exposition-loaded that way), but I do have a tenedency to trip up over plots, so we'll see if it gets added on to :P

And I'm so glad you were pleased with their dynamics! Thank you!

Well, if you so choose, leaving it as a one-shot would still make it excellent. Though I'm sure the lot of us would love to see more. It's very intriguing how one could elaborate on the premises you've already provided. :) Cheers to your fic, absolutely loved it!
