Title: Our Empty Rooms

Author: averita

Summary: They don’t talk much, these days, looking to books and the slide of skin to say what needs to be said.

A/N: You guys, I actually wrote fic! What is this? (400 words totally counts. It's been over a year and I'm very much in poetry mode at the moment.) This was written for adama_roslin's MOL, prompt "lonely". Spoilers

Short but so them. Good job!

They are rather angsty, aren't they? Thank you ♥

It's been so long since I read BSG fic - I only read this because it was you, and now I'm really, really wanting to read some original fiction of yours. Your prose is so fluid and your pacing is magical. I think you should quit school and write full-time.

That's really sweet - thank you for reading it to begin with, and for the compliments.

It's been a long time since I've written substantial original fiction, tbh, but I've been trying to get back into it and have started revising some older pieces (mostly very short - like I said, I've been struggling with longer pieces lately, and am trying to build my way back up. This whole self-discipline thing is an issue.) If you're interested I could send some of them your way.

I think you should quit school and write full-time.

Don't tempt me! But seriously, thank you. That means a lot.

Definitely a topic I've always thought about them discussing.

Wonderful representation of their relationship at that point.

It is kind of strange that they never discussed Earth on the show, isn't it? That could have been so powerful - but then, I guess the fact that they didn't says a lot as well.

Thank you!

This is really great. So crushingly beautiful in so few words. A pleasure to read.

Thanks so much!

This was lovely :-)
