I absolutely love this. The whole idea of them meeting over and over again is one of my favorite concepts and you've done wonderfully with this one, even if it's not all love and roses every time.

[miabicicletta]

When have they ever been all love and roses?

[defyingnormalcy]

Excellent point. And this is why I love this fic so much; you've captured a very realsitic (many very realistic) AU Bill and Laura's.

[cj_quickwit]

That was exactly what I thought!

Woah. Am glad this is actually being well received. You gals are so rock-on.

Now that is how you wring every last drop from a prompt like "time". Holy frak!...

Of all that shifts and shuffles, what they are, what they become, remains constant.

Very intriguing idea (and I love the alliteration of "shifts and shuffles")--that their specific roles may change (and change and change), but their essential selves do not. It sounds like none of these million and one existences is happy, exactly, and that's a bit rough on those of us who would wish that for them once in a while! But it's the tragic stories that really stay with us, so I know I'll remember this one for a long time.

Thanks so much for taking the plunge. I knew you could do it! And btw, with a little practice, you'll look back on this and see how you could easily have told the tale in 300 words. It gets easier to pare the words down, really and truly! :-D

<< All of them!

Damn straight.

I imagine that there may have been one happy existence. I just can't picture it. Bill and Laura always make me get my angst on, and that's a big part of why I love them.

... Practice? As in ... do it again?! Even if I do - I can practically hear aussie's thoughts right now - I imagine I'll always use as many words as I'm allowed. I'm just not concise-savvy.

Oh my god, wow! This is gorgeous!

*is well relieved*

I loved every word of this. It takes a bit of the sting out of Laura’s death in Daybreak to think that it is not the end for them, but just another beginning. I liked the quick snapshots of their different lives, how they were so different, yet still them.

[cj_quickwit]

It does make it a bit easier to deal with, doesn't it? Still, I couldn't think of any happier endings for them. Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks!

Absolutely amazing. I love this!!!
