I can't begin to tell you how much I love this piece! First, the writing is just gorgeous. Your use of symbolism is exquisite. Here are some of my favorite passages

[aloysiavirgata]

Wow! Thank you so much for leaving such thoughtful feedback. Writing in this fandom was intimidating for a number of reasons, but I really enjoyed getting to play around with new characters. It's incredibly gratifying to know you think I did them justice.

I hope you will be posting this to bsg2003fics. And there's probably a Kara fanfic site too.

First and foremost, thank you for beta-ing this for me and catching all my dumb mistakes. Secondly, thanks for the heads-up on where to post. Dasha mentioned some places but I think I just forgot. The enormity of this fandom - and the way it fractures along character lines - is part of what had me so overwhelmed. TXF is so cut and dry in that regard, you know? xfilesfanfic and Ephemeral. Et voila.

That icon... wow! I think it's made of win.

The stroy is spectacular too. I was glad you included the boxing scenes as it's one of my favorites. Thanks so much for sharing.

[aloysiavirgata]

Oh, gosh, I couldn't stop laughing when I saw that icon. She makes some really great ones.

I'm glad you enjoyed the fic! Unfinished Business is what got me to start taking boxing, actually. I'm hoping to start MMA in the fall.

Your first BSG fic? Amazing. I thought this was a brilliant piece.

[aloysiavirgata]

Thank you so much! My only other writing has been for The X-Files, and it was really fun to have new toys characters to play with.

Wow! Great writing. The prose is downright poetic! We know all the scenes, but so refreshing from your Kara's POV. I especially love the differing ending!

[aloysiavirgata]

I'm glad you liked it! Thank you for the feedback. I didn't mean for it to be an AU type of ending, but I at least wanted this story to leave them in a happier place than "POOF!" since we all know it's coming. Sigh.

Very nice! Kara is very in-character, and your prose is gripping. You may have even brought out my long-dorman inner Kara/Lee shipper. Thanks for reminding me why I loved Starbuck in the first place.

[aloysiavirgata]

Wow, thanks! I appreciate the feedback. I have this weird think with Kara and Lee. I mean, I don't ship them (I think Sam is so many more kinds of awesome) but they're so bound and determined to be together that I just wish it would work out.
