Control (nc-17), a Helo/Six fic

Nov 21, 2005 23:02

And, between your WTF? reaction to the pairing and the inevitable questions as to what brought this about, it's all 'cause Helo and Six are so. very. pretty. :P *sigh* The things we do to keep ourselves occupied during the hiatus... Feedback is adored.

I love it! (I can no longer be articulate in the face of your brilliance ;) ).

Really really awesome and believable, which I didn't think was possible for my unlikely ship.

You integrated aspects of the BSG canon so well I kept picturing everything. Hehe. Ok so I was picturing some non-canony things too.

You're the bestest. :)

And yet, you still managed to write a bunch after you said you were inarticulate. :P

Glad you liked it, hon. :D

Silly LJ didn't tell me you responded.

I actually was inarticulate and then reconsidered and edited.

I beta-ed myself. lol.

Oh wow, I really like this.

sabaceanbabe November 22 2005, 12:44:17 UTC

Yay! Glad you enjoyed it! :D

Hi Sbabe
That touched on eveything I wanted and hoped to see
That the Human Cylons have the same emotions as Humans, because they are human, they just think they aren't.
The reason for the animosity between Sharon and Six (Because Six also loved Helo )
That Helo is a Hero, and as un4scen said not stupid.
That there could have been other Cylons that were in love with humans, and might have made the same decision that Sharon had made. Imagine if Six here had made the same decision as Sharon.
Thnakyou!
As for the steamy scens, time for some push-ups!

Glad you liked it, Bob! :D

Hooah!

Sorry this took me so long to read, hon! It's brilliant, but you know that ;).

I *love* how dying Cylons hear sssssssssss, hehe. It's what I would write, too. One point: Helo didn't seem all that surprised when he saw her watching him. Did he not recognise her? I suppose when you take our a Cylon and just inject yourself with radiation medicine you're a little off your head.

I *loved* your characterisation of both characters. My favourite scene was Helo buying Natasi the bracelet. Also, it was so bloody brilliant the way you had Helo realise she was something more and that she could take a punch. I liked the fact he didn't hold back when he was trying to beat the crap out of him.

Powerful descriptions, sbabe. Powerful.

One point: Helo didn't seem all that surprised when he saw her watching him. Did he not recognise her?

Actually, no, he didn't recognize her at that point. (I'm assuming you're talking about when he's got his hands behind his head and spots her in the trees...) 1) Too far away to see details in the rain, 2) she's out of context and that context is 2 years or more old, and 3) the boy has a nasty fever and isn't thinking too clearly, thus he doesn't make the connection until she's up close and personal. :)

I'm so glad you liked it, Ams, and thanks so much for letting me bounce ideas off you for Natasi's last name. *hug*

I put this aside to let myself read it when I had time to be able to enjoy it properly. I really hate reading fic on the run.

One, I love the fact that this is a longer piece that goes through so much and describes so much about these characters. I was saying to repr0b8 once that as much as I love short 'fragments' of mood or feeling, the greedy reader in me always finds myself craving longer stories. The more I like the writer, the more I wish the story was longer!

Two, you wrote this so well that I had two moments of Panic during the story. Was Helo going to inadvertently betray and be responsible for the destruction of humanity? Phew ... no - although I suppose in showing her the way to Baltar he might have been responsible. :) I also panicked that she was going to kill him and poor Helo's story was going to end there. It's quite possible - Six is such a terrifying albeit beautiful creature.

Three, the line “I know who you are, Helo. It’s all right. I’m a friend.” now means so much more with the backstory you've written. I ( ... )

sabaceanbabe November 24 2005, 04:04:12 UTC

I am truly overwhelmed. I really don't know what to say. Thank you is just so inadequate. You reduced me to real tears and you make me feel like writing isn't just a pipedream.

Dammit. I'm tearing up again. :)

koalathebear November 24 2005, 04:27:14 UTC

You reduced me to real tears

Eek! Don't cry! That wasn't supposed to be the reaction.

Koala runs away on her short stubby legs as hordes of angry sbabe Friends List Members chase after her

Angry Horde Member: Come back here! You made her cry! It's the airlock for you!!!

Koala: Put that wrench down! I was just leaving feedback!!!! Aiiiieeeeeiiiieeeeee....

Koala sails out the airlock .... (again)

Hordes: Hah - that's the last of her. She won't be bothering Canon Nazis or ruffling Kara/Lee ships again! Who let her back last time, damnit?

*grin* Just keep writing and I'll keep reading. :)

sabaceanbabe November 24 2005, 04:32:40 UTC

BWAH!

I love you, man. :P
