Dream Their Sleep

A hush: the calm before the stand-off.

Of all the ways she’d imagined this-no, that was wrong: she hadn’t imagined this, hadn’t put any thought into it whatsoever-Who are you kidding, Laura…? Semantics. Of all the discussions she’d imagined herself having with him-Is that what the kids are calling it nowadays-she had never ( Read more... )

AWESOME. I loved the bits you added, naturally, especially this one:

that afternoon on New Caprica that had swirled into evening and nighttime and straight on through morning-when all that had been different was a title and atmosphere and gravity, the prickle of a moustache and the falling away of a really bright red dress.

GAH. *dies* And pornstache mention baby! YEAH.

I also love the title - oh poetry, you rock so awesomely. And I LOVE that poem, btw. I doubt you're surprised by the news however.

Hee. The pornstache was just for you, you know. I thought you might enjoy a mention, and it really is starting to grow on me.

What? You LOVE this poem too? I'm SHOCKED. Honestly. We NEVER agree on ANYTHING, lol.

The pornstache grows on everyone. Because pornstache pwns. PWNS. Hahaha, t's funny to think I hated it SO much when it first appeared and now I'm all YEAH! PORNSTACHE BABY!

I'd agree that we never agree on anything but then we'd agree on THAT so instead I was gonna say we agree on everything but then us disagreeing on this would make me a liar. So I choose silence. HAHAHA. NINJAED.

Oh this is like 8 kinds of beautiful and perfect. The tone, the flow, the premise, the awesome!

Your turn, Bill. I’ve built the cabin. Are you ready to settle?
LOVE.

Thank you so much! Writing frazzled-but-holding-onto-suave Laura was like 8 kinds of fun and entertaining. I'm glad you liked it.

OMG! LOVE! True love for this fic :)

I can't believe how sucked in I got. I was meant to be getting ready to go out but instead I decided to check LJ and there it was, this little gem waiting for me.

I particularly loved Laura's thoughts and Bill's actions, when he's rubbing his neck, that is so keeping with the characters. The awkwardness followed by a sudden rush of clarity. Loved it!

I'm friending you right now, I hope you don't mind? :) That way if you have or write more like this (please!) I won't miss it.

Aww, thank you! Though I am sorry to have screwed up your getting ready for bed. :) And I'm relieved you found everything in keeping with the characters---I'm still slowly feeling my way around this fandom.

Friend away! The more the merrier. I'll add you, too, to continue the circle of friend!love. ;)
