I haven't read it yet...
11K words of new A/R with smut is like a dream!!!
OMG!
I have so much work to do tonight and you just have me the best excuse to procrastinate!

Damn!

Always happy to provide an excuse to read fic instead of whatever one 'should' be doing. :D

Oh, Gods, it's killed me dead again :-) Nobody can write smut like you--all angelic and earthy and their heads & hearts are in the right places. He's so...good that it's believable she could be open to a spontaneous tryst with him. I love how she keeps showing him how into all this she is, and even with their scars, her sickness, etc. you've written them as so beautiful.

Thank you so much, hon! "Angelic and earthy," I like it. :)

Thank you so much for reading, and for your awesome modding of the big bang!

I think that line's unintentionally a bit meta...yay AUs!

This is amazing. I loved Bill's pov, his attempts to slow them, the tenderness and the compatibility that Laura can't wish away, Elosha's repeated words made Laura's mother's. I can totally see this as what could have happened sans attacks ... and, yeah, wow, smokin' hot.

I loved this:

“Yes,” she whispers into his ear. It’s the answer to a multitude of unasked questions: do you want this? do you trust me? do I know you?

Haha, perfect icon is perfect. Thanks for reading!

“Let me get your number,” he says, giving her hands a squeeze.

She smiles, then withdraws herself from his magnetic pull and bends down to pick up her bag. “If it’s meant to be, you’ll find me.”

This just felt like SUCH an Adama/Roslin exchange, like one that I could totally believe them having in a previous or future life.

I really loved the bits of canon dialogue that you weaved into the fic, I so love it when I stumble upon that in A/R fics. ♥

This was such a pleasure to read. :D

Thanks dearest! I'm so glad you enjoyed. :D
