I get two stories? I will take them both and love them, thank you.

This fic! I love that it's divided into mornings, and there are so many things about this that feel so right.

Not only are Kara and Sam adorably bantery, but they sound so them to me. From Sam palming her face and making the observation about her running out on men to Kara's stark confession about Zak and her out-of-the-blue "I love you" at the end, their characterization is gorgeous throughout. And the conversation about the farms! With Kara needing him to tell her he would've stuck to his word and shot her rather than let her go back to one! Guh, that's perfect. I worried this prompt was too vague, but you've given me even more than I realized I wanted out of it.

Thank you so much!

Eee, thanks for the comment, I'm so happy that you liked it! Thank you so much for the prompt, it was fun to write this time between them.

"I- I dated one supermodel," he interrupts so honestly that her serious face breaks apart. "She was a nice girl."
AWWWWWW, this just made me laugh. Sammy!

I loved all of this: Sam's inherent sweetness that Kara begins to accept, her own choices and their importance to her, the secrets they share. It's just lovely. *happy sigh*

Eee, thank you, glad you enjoyed it!

Not sure exactly why this story makes me choke up so much other than it doesn't gloss over the difficulties of being with Kara. She still has her frak-up moments. She still has history with Zak... and Lee. She still questions herself and her feelings and EVERYTHING else that would make it easy to gloss over.

And she still chooses Sam.

This is an amazing story. I love it. Thank YOU for writing it. *hugs* K :)

*twirls* Aaah you're awesome, thank you for both your comments. <3 Very touched that it made you choke up.

The reaction is so sincere, N. I hope you know the fic (Lida / Lee??? I think) you wrote about the occupation is, bar none, one of my favorite cylon fics. Bravo, hon! Take a bow. You DESERVE all the kudos! <3

[nicole_anell]

*blush* Yes that Lida/Lee fic was a tough one but weirdly fun to write - that means a lot to me, thanks!

[nicole_anell]

Heee, that was one of the first things I wrote and seems to be a popular line. XD

aw, I love this take on their early times. But the drunken section cracks me up - it's so perfectly drunk/non-sensical and cute.

Thank you! I have a soft spot for Drunk Kara/Sam, it is how I first started shipping them. :p
