This is absolutely fucking brilliant. I can't even begin to pull quotes, because I'd end up pulling everything. Roslin as the teacher with a weakness for rebellious students. The pairings and the mirroring of Kara>Cain. I love how much you can show without telling us. The narrowing of the eyes as the only cue in the first paragraph that this is Cain, not Kara.

Just beautiful. Thank you for this.

Oh, man. I saw the link on the_wireless and was interested to see how if anyone could pull off the pairing, but this is great; sharp, ruthless, clean and pared down.

Thank you! I heart them. Powerful ladies make good fic.

gorgeous! just gorgeous. brought to a beautiful, broken climax with the unexpected "for the first time in two months, there is silence."

also, BRING ME KARA THRACE. hahahahahaha.

I looked up the actual line -- it's "would you please get me lieutenant Thrace" and she says it to Billy in KLG1. but our way is better!

aeonian April 11 2006, 00:35:17 UTC

It is SO much better! I was so sad when you told me the real version (even though it meant I didn't hallucinate it), and I was all, "Oh woe, I have to change it!" But...no, it's better this way!

I HAD TO USE IT! I swear to Roslin God, one day I am going to go into a restaurant and look at the menu and be like, "Bring me Kara Thrace."

Also, thank you.
