Later he learns the most important reason for a name. It’s so you can say, when you dare, ‘Leoben Conoy loves Kara Thrace’. He repeats it like a mantra each time he emerges from the wet cradle, and he goes back just so he can hear her say ‘Frak you, Leoben’, and it washes over him like a wave of elation. Numbers can’t love other numbers. Numbers

Very cool! Neat subject, the cylon names, and I feel this is very like Leoben -- kind of childlike and amused and world-weary wry at the same time. I like the last paragraph particularly. Bravo!

This fic is just gorgeous. That last paragraph just hits you in the gut. So. Much. Love.

Excellent.

Very nice story!

I'd love to invite you to post it to my Kara/Leoben comm - trial_by_water

Here via Crack_van and I'm so glad I clicked the link. This is a little gem of a story, that packs a wallop and says much in few words. Nicely done!

Here via the crack_van... wow, this is a great little fic. It says so much in so little space -- I especially love the history behind each model's name (and of course, Mr. Leoben "Streamy" Conoy's namesake drowned!) I also really liked the line about the nukes; leave it to the Cylons to be whimsical about genocide. Great job!
