wow. great story.

[aeonian]

Why, thank you!

oooh! nia! i LOVE it! i requested a random six because i didn't think i would believe a caprica!six story, but you totally convinced me. i loved all the shared memories, how six was trying to make things real and remembered for the next body, and all the reincarnations and it was SO WORTH THE WAIT.

there are so many things i loved about this story. i love how nice your characters are, while still being sort of devious and in-character, and yes.

and this is so one of my favorite pairings ever.

(of course, now i'm completely shamed because i still haven't finished my starbuck round.)

[aeonian]

Thank you! I'm so glad you liked this, because I had such a hard time writing it to begin with, and then when it was done I realized I hadn't worked in any of your requests, really, and I felt totally bad.

I think the bisexuality evil tastes better with a side order of nice.

(Wow, and I thought I was bad.)

oh baby!

you know, I hate how you keep posting these without showing them to me! but there's nothing I could have meddled with, because it's gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous. an especially poetic one, I don't know where that came from, but I'm so in love with how it's threaded with the colors of the worlds around them -- the bruised light and the yellow and the blue. and of course the cylon stuff is achingly brilliant, all of it -- You want to be in this body always, this body marked with the prints of her hands. we hit Round Six out of the park!

and it's tiny! I think in a good way -- I love how your writing is unconcerned with narrative and instead distills the story to it's essence. I'm inspired and inspired to make mine shorter and woe, I can't work on Cain yet!

now comment on mine, whore!

(new notes are on the writely outline)

I know! I was looking for you last night, but you weren't around when I needed you! Typical. Glad you liked it, though!

I'll start my Round Six reading with you.

Oh, Six was excellent in this, with all the confusion surrounding her old lives. And just the excellent emotional impact of everything.

I'm so pleased to have read this!

[aeonian]

Thank you! Six was a tough one for me, I'm glad you liked her. :)

[c_elisa]

This is beautiful. I love how you give emotional weight to Six's multiple lives.

[aeonian]

Thank you so much!
