Who is excited by this!?!

IT IS ME!

It is three days before Kara opens her eyes.

I love this open. I'm not sure why. It just speaks of such a stark, exhausting time; for Kara, for Bill and Laura, for Lee, for Sam...the Fleet is struggling after the trial, after the latest attacks, after this shock about their leadership...it strikes you. On a similar note, I'm loving Kara's dreams. They're very rich, and I wish that Leoben had continued to have a strong, otherworldly role for both Kara and Laura in the series.

"Because from where I'm standing, gentlemen, we don't have very many choices left and that woman in there is offering one. A way for us to find Earth and give our people a home."

See, now, this is where I think the series went wrong. They made Laura and Kara rivals for Bill, in a way, when they would have made such great compatriots. How I wish RDM and others had seen this and capitalized on their relationship the way you have.

I love this series so much. Thank you for continuing! I can't wait for more!

lol. I was just lying in the grasses, waiting for you to comment so that I could reply! lol

Because, in the show, you have them completely disregarding that Laura sent Kara back to Caprica for the Arrow of Apollo

I feel like the first and second seasons had such great myth and prophecy to the series, and that by the end of Season 3 and 4, it had just gotten overwritten. I for one would love to see a rehashing of New Caprica and thereafter where the Scriptures and Leoben's strange prophetic abilities continue to haunt Laura and Kara. There was some BS and ignoring of canon that you have really altered in a great way with this story.

Also: BABIES :D

Please please please focus on this more! I shall love you forever, and then some.

your favorite/most dedicated cheerleader, mia xoxo

I have said it before, and shall say it again, ZOMG I love this story so hard. I will trade you a prompt of your choice for new chapter? Eh? Eh?

I just read the whole thing all over again, and i'm an absolute fan (and a lurker by the same occasion but us french have a tendency to lurk in dark space chasing after poor unsuspecting frog.... but that's a story for another time). I love your Doctor Who stories but could there be any hope of you continuing this story because I absolutely love the angst, and the cuteness and the adventures and the dreams and the dialogue.... I love the whole thing, so please give us another chapter, PLEASE!!!! (I have also a guilty love for baby!fics but i think you can see that from my comments)

Oh my goodness, I thought I had replied to this the minute after I had read this! Shame on me! I feel horrible now.

Thank you so much for your compliments! Um... This series has been much of a discussion topic between myself and miabicicletta recently, who like you, wants to see this story finished. I'm in a bit of a crunch time with University right now, but there's nothing to say that I won't try and go back to this at some point.
