Oh, god, you slay me. I can see her sitting in her bunk really seriously wanting to kill someone this time, not just wanting to survive or doing it because she's being told to. Because she wants to kill Boomer, and reading this I feel proud of her because she managed it.

And I particularly love the image of her and Starbuck, foreheads together, skin rubbing, clinging to each other. So beautiful, so intense.

YAY. I'm so pleased that it worked for you, because I was fretting heartily with the rewritings and finally decided that maybe I needed to learn when to leave things ALONE, and so I did.

Also, am glad the Starbuck thing worked for you -- people seem to be split on that, either not getting it at all, or totally loving it. <3<3

Very, very nice. I loved the idea that Boomer stayed with her, a ghost. I didn't get why Starbuck felt the need for physical contact, but Cylons screw with everyone's head. I loved the imagery of the blonde woman setting fire to the bodies. Is that, by any chance, Athena before she threw herself off the cliff or am I completely off?

I adore your adore, by the way :). Very beautiful. Did you make it yourself?

*laughs* I can only kinda speak English when faced with Six icons ;).

Thank you!

The Starbuck scene seems to be one of those things that either really works for people or really doesn't. It's been my general experience that after traumatic shit goes down, people are a bit touch-hungry, but obviously it doesn't work for everyone.

The blonde woman is sort of indistinct. I started writing her, though, as a cross between Number 6 and Athena, so it's nice to see that some of that came across!

And thank you for the icon comments. I did make it -- if you'd like to snag it, feel free, but probably credit it to crumblingwalls, as I'm sure that I'll post it there eventually.

You are the absolute nicest, and really, how much do I love you for reading this even though it is markedly Not Your Fandom? Ever and ever so much, is the answer to that. Thank you.

Hey you! I'm so glad you posted this and I love the bits I haven't seen before.

The repetition of words and lines and thoughts and scenes was perfect and intense.

The feel of this piece is wonderful.

Good job!

Thank you so much. I'm so glad that the stuff that you hadn't read worked for you, especially since some of it was added directly because of comments that you made. *squish*
