Chapter Ten

The echoes of the gunshot died away as Kara stared down at Baltar’s crumpled body on the floor.

“Is he dead?” she asked numbly.  She couldn’t believe Lee had actually pulled the trigger.

Gaeta stepped forward.  “I think so.” He looked coldly down at Baltar, and then fired a shot directly into the man’s skull.  “But that should make ( Read more... )

I'm here via a friend's friendlist and want to say how much I enjoy this story. I've already read the first chapters on ff.net (and I'm guilty of not leaving feedback...) and I'm hooked. Completely hooked.

This is another brilliant chapter and the premise that Lee and Kara switched places in this AU story is really fascinating and still believable. Can't wait to read more :D

Glad you're enjoying the story, I really enjoyed writing it. Once I had the idea of switching their places there were so many story possibilities.

Hope you enjoy the rest of the story as well.

I will allow you your cheesy cliff hanger as long as Lee is alive. :)

Exciting chapter - I let out an evil chuckle when Gaeta made sure Baltar was dead.

As always, I can't wait for more.

Would I do that to you?

(Although admittedly I have killed Lee in stories before)

Wow, just wow! This chapter was full of so much action, and I think I even got a glimpse of the old Lee in there when he pushed Kara into the water to save her.

Lee and Gaeta--what a combination! And this--“I didn’t save your life in that prison just so you could throw it away,” said Gaeta. Lee stilled and turned to look at him. “Ana wouldn’t have wanted that, either. Remember that.”--was so moving. I hope Gaeta makes it out of this. You can tell that he not only cared for Dee, but he cares for Lee as well.

I hope the explosion around Lee is Kara destroying the centurion!

I can just picture her mouth hanging open at the sight of Lee and Gaeta killing Baltar.

This is an excellent chapter! A cliffhanger--ack! I don't know if I can handle the wait! Of course, I guess the next part will be posted Friday, so now I have 2 BSG things to look forward to!

Oh, yeah, this gave me a laugh--Men, she thought exasperatedly, as they left the tent. No common sense whatsoever.--so true!

I am LOVING this story!!!!!!!!

Too much action in this chapter for my liking - I hate writing action scenes! Takes me ages!

Glad you liked the bit between Lee and Gaeta. Gaeta's a very good friend to Lee in this story.

Yes, next chapter will be up on Friday morning. Wish I could watch BSG on Friday, but hopefully I will only have to wait a few days to see it ;-)

I think Kara's 'Men!' comment came from having just watched the episode where she's saying to Helo 'How do you know she's pregnant? Men can be so stupid!' or words to that effect.

I can't believe that they actually killed Baltar. Even though the slimey weasel deserves to get killed, it just rubs the wrong way that it was Lee and Gaeta. Shudder

What was up with that envelope that Gaeta passed to Lee? Hmmm

I guess I can forgive you a cliff hanger as I am in a good mood with the impending epi on Friday ^-^

No, it's not very nice. Shows how they've both been damaged by what they've been through.

As for the envelope, all in good time - though there was a hint about it in chapter 8. Lets just say Lee and Gaeta have more than one plan going on.

And I can't put Lee in mortal danger and not use it as a cliffhanger!

I really love this story. You've created this completely different Lee, and yet I could see him turning out this way if he had been through what has happened to him in your story.

He has changed a lot, I admit I deliberately set out to screw him up as much as possible in this story, because I thought it made an interesting change to have him taking suicidally dangerous risks and going around shooting people!
But maybe the old Lee is still in there somewhere...
