Wow! What a fascinating fic! I love how the bits and pieces of their journey slowly unfolded revealing both canon and backstory. The characterizations seem sharp and that ache between them is ever present. Bravo! I look forward to reading more and ... welcome to the ship. It's an awesome place!
Thank you so much :) I'm so glad you mentioned about the ache, it's like the main part of why I love them so much, and one of the things I tried really hard to get in the fic, so yay!
And thanks for the welcome, it does seem like an awesome ship to be part of, everyone has already been hella nice, which is not always the case, I'm glad to be here :D
BTW, you may already know this, but since I don't remember seeing you there, join us over at no_takebacks. Today, we're having a fluffy fic day. (Impossible for me to write bc I love the angst, but super sweet and lovey pilots are good anytime.)
I have heard of the community, but I understood that it was mainly a rewatch thing, and as I live in the UK it could only lead to bad things for me because it would encourage me to stay up way past my bedtime to watch BSG and while that's tempting, I kind of have to be awake during the day, so I had been resisting the pull.
But if you tell me I have to, I mean, I can't just ignore that. Like, are you saying that if I don't come join the comm, the internet will implode and the world as we know it will come to an end? Because if that's what you're saying, I really don't have a choice. Is that what you're saying?!
That's such an awesome thing to say, thank you :) I'm happy you enjoyed my first offering, I can't wait to write more, all of the characters on this show are just so complex and interesting and person-y, I love them all so much, Lee and Kara the most though ;)
This is pretty damn good - excellent characterisations, and I love how you mixed up past and present, canon and fanon, and made something that hung together beautifully. And powerfully written, too. Great stuff - loved it.
I loved the back and forth timeline in this fic. Very nicely done.
This brought tears to my eyes: "Every cell in his body is aching to tell her that even if they aren't together in the way that she understands best, the only way in which she's ever been able to express herself with any kind of control, he will never love another being in any world in the same way, with the same force as the ways in which he loves her."
Oh, this moment in the show made me so so sad for her, like, I honestly believe that in that moment she thinks that that's all she is to him, because he chose Dee and that means something different to her than it does to him and gods the things that Katee Sackhoff can do with her face, I am honestly in awe of her in that scene, and every other scene.
Sorry, rant. But seriously.
Thank you for reviewing, and for quoting that part back to me, made me very happy :)
I really like this. Your characterizations were spot-on and the piece was beautifully written --I loved how you intertwined past and present, so we get the whole picture in the end. Also, the bit that shelci mentions above really resonated with me, I love it.
Lovely job, I hope you write more K/L in the future!
I love these two characters so much, and it felt really natural to me to write them, of any characters I've ever written about, they flowed the easiest, so I'm really happy that it came out right.
I will definitely (barring serious maiming or death) be writing more of them in the future! I hope you'll continue to read :D Thank you for taking the time to comment.
