This story was lovely and heartbreaking at the same time.

During her seventh treatment her doubts finally begin to win, and she cries quietly because she wants to be certain for once, again. Certain of something or someone.

I loved the build up, and then finally, this.

*HUGS*

I think the other thing was - it was sort of a cathartic exercise when writing this, but I'm glad it flowed with enough direction for that build up. ><"

I think one of the parts of Laura's overall journey, besides the political/religious one and the Adama-Roslin one, that has always intrigued me was the tug of war she has had with her health and her reactions to life and death - the way all of that meshes, or doesn't mesh, with her beliefs and doubts, and all the tones that it blankets her character with.

That was a really interesting take on an A/R story. Beautifully written. :)

Thank you for reading, and the comment! *blushes*

:D

Also, I love your icon... :3

Wow. The sterile medical detail juxtaposed against Laura's emotional journey and then everything else that was going on is just amazing. You have so much depth here I feel like I've just barely skimmed this and already need to go back and read it again.

After everything you've written, this line is just gut wrenching:

On her last day (indefinable), she finds peace. And life.

It's been a while since a fic has made me tear up, but this one really did.

*BLUSHES* Thank you for reading and for commenting, and for really taking the time to explore this. I'm glad the emotions reached you, and it was sort of cathartic for me to write this.

Just beautiful and soulful...very A/R. The ending feels like such a relief here for her.

*whispers* Thank you! *blushes* I'm afraid a lot of this was VERY cathartic for me. (^_^)" That's possibly why the relief there is so tangible, but truly, thank you for reading and reviewing! :D
