This was really cool. It's interesting that a cylon might envy (?) what Laura's going through, might want to touch it to find some sort of connection to life at it's end. It's hard to believe that anyone would willingly give up immortality, but I do understand that lack of meaning to a life like that (and the potential lethargy of it). I love this, because it comes so close to when Natalie dies herself -- I love this moment for both of them. Lovely stuff!

Thank you! I'd had the idea for this fic for a long time because I loved that moment when Natalie talks to the Quorum about needing to die to live. The look on Laura's face is really interesting. And yes, I do think there is something very poignant and tragic about Natalie since she will die so soon after embracing mortality so fully. She had so little time to truly live as she wanted. I just find that that makes for so many interesting parallels with Laura. Waking up too late (or just in time) and all that.

Anyway, thanks again for the feedback. This story was a bit of an experiment for me and I'm not sure it worked on every level but I felt like I learned something writing it which is always cool.

*flails back*

The muse is hanging in there! I'm glad you enjoyed this. Natalie was a character I wish we could have seen more of, and you know seeing her slashing it up with Laura (even a tiny bit) doesn't hurt!

This is a dream come true for me. I would have killed for more Laura/Natalie interaction on the show. Or more Natalie in general, in fact. If only they had given us something like this.

A truly beautiful and fascinating look into the two characters. Thank you so much for sharing.

Awww, thanks! It really makes me happy to know that this fic filled a blank that was out there for some. Certainly the lack of more fic about Natalie is a blank for me. I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)

This is just divine. Laura's thoughts are delightful to read and her interaction with Natalie is something I can really see. ♥

Awww, thanks! I'm glad you liked it and found it plausible. I loved Natalie and I think she and Laura would have liked and respected each other given the chance. :)
