EEEP EEEEEEEEP. Pilots. So many feelings. These are beautiful. In the first one, I love the sequence of how they automatically start kissing as soon as they realize they both felt it that night. It feels very natural and right, even if their angst does overtake them pretty quickly afterward. ;)

And oof that second one. Death is such a great motivator (sorry nugget!) for sharing. I love the "I will recite proof of how much I know/love you" trope! It's such a favorite of mine. <3 <3 <3

They're good at feeeeelings! I do wish we'd ever seen them come straight out and acknowledge the table scene (by which I mean I wish it hadn't been a retcon, but that's another story) and what it all meant. Thanks for your comment! :)

Feeeelings! So many flaily feelings about these! They're both so lovely in their own ways, almost complements or reverses of each other. The first, with the honesty/kissing/good things happening quickly (in a good way) with a touch of angst at the end, and the second, with the sadness right off the bat that turned into the openness and vulnerability of that gorgeous last scene.

You did such a wonderful job with these! I adore mine. <3

Ooh, I'm glad you liked it! I hadn't thought about the arc between the two of them, but now I'm glad I arranged them in this order :) Thanks!

Both of these are fantastic! They bring up so many different feelings. Fantastic job!

These were amazing! The "you were jealous?" "you wanted to?" was like a knife to the gut in the best possible way. And the chaste kiss Kara gives him in the second is beautiful. Both these fics had the "looks" between pilots. The ones that speak so many words and so many things that have no words.

You did a really really great job.
