"Lee, please don't read it. I know you're supposed to and I know it's protocol, but I'm asking," she whispered, dropping her forehead to meet his. "That was a different me, and I don't want every stupid juvenile thing I've ever done in your head when you think of me. OK? Please

Thanks, I think I do generally tend to see her a little more vulnerable and a little less brash than she sometimes comes across in fandom. It's a personal thing. I like her tough in public and soft with Lee. :)

I love the insight you've given us into Kara here, the fact that when it's someone she cares about, she's ashamed of her failings. It feels very true to her. Just lovely :)

I think this is a great insight into Kara. She was often worried that those she cared about wouldn't be able to care for her once they knew what she was really like. We saw that in cannon and it just makes sense for a person who came from that kind of abuse.
I have to admit that I was worried by this fic. I know Lee means it when he says nothing will change how he feels about her but I'm araid. He has a tendency to have firm lines and not forgive easily once they're crossed.

Haha, can't blame you, I do sometimes like to bring the pain. But I'm glad I didn't this time. You need a break from the woe now and then.

He does. But at some point, she's gotta give him the chance to back up his words and I like that this piece leaves his reaction uncertain. It's more about her trusting him here.

I loved the details of her sitting on his lap...the scooting the chair out and her leaning into him. That really indicated so much about their relationship, so effortless and subliminally! Wow.
And then the intensity, the trust, the touching. *sigh* and *swoon*

So glad you enjoyed it. I think the majority of their relationship is unspoken and subliminal so I really try to focus on those little touches that say so much.

"Wow. Is this all true? Did you really..." He just shook his head. "There's no way this part is true." LOL, I love how he starts off mad and then is like "woah, really??" So much laughing from me.
Ah and ending on the adorable fluffy note. This was heartwarming. <3
