Thanks! Yes, writing for The X-Files fandom has taught me a lot about ignoring things I don't like. *laugh*

Wow. This is just great. It's L/K, but really an excellent character study of Kara.

How do you take the risk of letting one person become everything you need?

This line just sums up one of the biggest reasons Kara was so terrified of actually committing to Lee. Perfect.

You totally ignored the poof! Awesome. I loved your ending, and it would have worked on the show. See RDM? See?

I really enjoyed this. For a serious piece it was really funny(in a good way:). Lots of fantastic Starbuckian one liners.

Plus! Etiquette tips!

Thank you very much! I'm so glad that you enjoyed it. I'm not actually much of an L/K shipper, but I thought using Lee as a foil for her would be a good way to do a character study.

I'm glad you liked the ending as well. It wasn't meant to be an alternate ending for the show per se, but I thought it made for a happier stopping point.

Retro etiquette books are fun.

Thank you so much! I really enjoyed writing in a new universe, and certainly plan to try my hand at it again. I promised [info:]dashakay an Adama/Roslin piece, if nothing else. ;-D

This was really great, I like the way that you have capture the dynamic between Kara/Lee, and I think that you characterization of both was well done.

I especially love the opening section and the line ' they forgave each other but not themselves' its pretty much the perfect some up of Kara and Lee.

Thank you so much for taking a moment to mention a favorite line. That's always greatly appreciated.

I'm glad that you enjoyed the characterization. It was tricky to write in a new fandom.
