Tsk, tsk, Sam. He really is a rock star in his own head. *amused*

Also. You're lucky you didn't marry that girl by accident. made me laugh a LOT.

lizardbeth_j April 19 2012, 18:42:48 UTC

he really is.

But he was a rock star in his previous life so he's not even wrong! LOL
except for that time he ended up homeless playing guitar in a gutter and experimented on -- nope, still not over that

Oh dear, poor Sam.

lizardbeth_j April 19 2012, 18:47:14 UTC

I know right? :D

Ahhh, Sammy. Not quite washed up yet. I liked all the little details, and like Lys, I laughed at Sam's post-drunk thoughts.

lizardbeth_j April 19 2012, 18:52:06 UTC

It must suck to be told you're washed up when you're ~ 32. But yeah, he's got a lot more to do and find out!

Thanks!

I just want to roll around in this fic FOR-FRAKKING-EVER!

In a fit of not-giving-a-damn, he decided to take the bike. He wasn't supposed to ride it (or sail or do anything else fun) while under contract, but what were they going to do? Trade him?

*snicker*

And I love the bit about accidentally marrying that girl.

This whole thing, from start to finish, is perfect. It's exactly what I wanted, right down to Sammy's rock star tendencies. (And in my head, the girl he picked up but who bailed on him was Caprica. Just sayin'...)

lizardbeth_j April 19 2012, 20:20:26 UTC

yay, I'm glad you liked it! It was fun.

And in my head, the girl he picked up but who bailed on him was Caprica. Just s
sayin'...

I totally left that door open for you to walk through, if you want. :)

I really loved this! I loved the society you built for Virgon, and Sam's hardcore partying ways- although SHUT UP, PERSON, SAM HAS SOME GREAT YEARS LEFT HE'S FLAWLESS SHUT UP. I also really enjoy the parallels between his substance abuse and Sam and Ellen's, which I always felt could be attributed to their general unease in their lives due to, oh, you know, having their memories wiped. (And you used the name Davos, ahahaha.) Fantastic!

lizardbeth_j April 19 2012, 20:29:44 UTC

thanks! this is the Sam who Barolay and Sue-Shaun will flush his stims down the toilet, so he's not quite as together as I think Canon!Sam was, but yeah, I wonder if all of them did have vague suspicions that all was not quite right

hee, Davos. I wrote Davros first, which is also a character, changed it to Davos, thinking I was clear, and then realized who he was! Then I decided 'screw it, it's just a name'. lol.
