YAY!!! I'm so glad you like it!!! I thought you would, yet it's always something to be a little nervous about when you're writing for someone.
And I'm happy to discuss later if you want. I'm very curious to find out if people think it's about what I think it's about (which also means I'm curious to find out if I was ambiguous enough yet not too ambiguous--it's a delicate balance!).
Hee! I hope Bucer has proven more engaging as the day has gone on.
Even though said something about having a Grand Theory that this fic would extrapolate, I'm not sure it is so much a theory where all the pieces fit, as opposed to some really interesting connections I was noticing and wanted to poke at. Yes, I did intend to write Laura as the final Cylon--but also Number One, the first Cylon--and I think there's at least a decent chance I'm right about that. And her role is like that of Athena's--yet Sharon is also Athena, I think (both literally, in her call sign, but figuratively as the immortal who was so attached to humanity that she would give up her immortality). I can't keep the actual cycles straight in my head, so I'm not sure whether Athena's death brought on the current cycle of time or not.
What I wanted to do with time was more to look at cyclical time and linear time together and play with them a bit. In her Razor commentary, danceswithwords mentioned that for a people who believe in cyclical time, bringing the human race to its end

You know I love this, but it bears repeating, because, dude, I LOVE THIS!
And somewhere along the line of reading and rereading this story, I fell in love with Kara's role, and Sharon's, and how they all work together to make everything make sense for Laura, and oh . . . so very good, my friend. :)
And yeah, I am rather in love with the way all the roles sort of fit together in the end. I'm sure it won't unfold this way on the show, but until I know otherwise, this is the story I'm sticking to!
I'm sure that I will be all manner of upset to see Laura die--weeping, wailing, gnashing of teeth, etc. Yet at the same time I believe she does need to die for the story to find its proper end: that's been her role since the beginning, and as much as I don't want her to die, I think if she didn't it would be something of a betrayal of this character that I love so much.

And yes, April does seem so very far away, doesn't it!
