Thank you very much! I agree, I'm glad that they had time together after this - I've struggled with Laura's 4.5 arc so writing this helped me a little bit!

This is so wonderfully done. I love the idea that Laura opened herself up to Bill enough to want him to be with her the second time around, and the ending hurts a bit but it was sweet, too.

The exchange between Saul and Laura was perfect.

I love this, thank you so much!

This was truly beautiful, and fits perfectly into canon. I especially love how how you've portrayed Laura's telling Bill about the cancer: “Last time I did this without you,” she said softly, trying to keep her voice level. “I’d rather not this time.” because it rings so true to me. All that emotion tied up in a few very matter-of-fact words; it's just so very Laura.

Well done!
