You made me cry, damnit. This is beautiful and crushing and kind of perfect. You know, I could have lived perfectly happy with this ending --it still breaks my heart, but it makes more sense than anything we saw on the show and gives Kara and Lee the closure they always deserved. So much love for this piece <3

(And hey, now that you've started, I hope that you keep on writing!)

Thank you so much! My heart is bursting from all the lovely comments like this I am receiving. It means so much that you took the time to read it. <3

Now, I'm all weepy. I feel like I can't even be coherent. This is really beautiful and truly touching. The exact thing I wish they'd had the decency to say instead of being coy and clever.

Weepy seems to be the highest compliment I can receive today and I absolutely love it. Thank you for reading and commenting! <3

I honestly do not have words for what I'm feeling right now. I'm at work with tears falling down my face. It's so beautiful to see them finally have some closure for all that they had been through and still have hope for when they meet again.

He’s been lucky to love and been loved by Kara Thrace.

This really sums it all up, doesn't it? We have all been really lucky to have been introduced to these two fantasticly amazing characters.

Dear you have to write more becuase as I'm crying, I'm squeeing that you wrote a fic!

Wonderful!!!!!

I'm sorry to have made you cry at work! Quick! Look at your pictures of Jamie! :D

I'm glad you enjoyed and felt like it would have been a satisfying ending for them. Kara, Lee (and those of us who shipped them) all needed closure to their amazing story. I'm happy to have added my two cents into the fanon ending. Thanks so much for reading and squeeing! <3 *hugs*

Well done! I love the way you provided Lee with an explanation as well as validating all that went before with a way to let him know of Kara's strong affection for him. This makes so much more sense and is now my personal canon to replace the dreadful poof.

Thanks Buck! Poor Lee just needed a little something to continue on and cling to when he was climbing mountains. He can carry her in his heart knowing she carried him in hers until the end. Pilots were way too epic to fizzle out with an unexplained poofing. Thanks for reading and commenting! <3

Um...so tell me why you don't write? Because I don't understand how you can posess this much talent and not need to use it.

This is so beautiful. It is. I am a person who is generally ok with the poof. It's not my favourite thing ever but whenever I try to think about what I would do differently I can never think of the answer.

This. This is the answer. This is the only thing I can imagine happening in that scene that would make sense, and it is stunningly done.

I love the serenity that's laying over the whole thing, the inevitability of it, like immediately I started reading I knew you weren't going to change the ending, it had that kind of warm calm that I associate with Daybreak ( ... )

I FORGOT MY FAVOURITE BIT BECAUSE IT WAS IN THE FIRST LINE AND THERE WAS SO MUCH GOOD AFTER THAT THAT I GOT DISTRACTED!

But THIS:

His mind races through a lifetime of memories with his father. Each one begins with a goodbye and ends with Lee wishing he had more time with him.

Was where I knew for sure that I loved it. THE STORIES BEGIN WITH GOODBYE AND THAT BREAKS MY HEART BUT IT IS SO PERFECTLY TRUE.

*sigh*

!!!! Your comment makes me so so happy. You're so incredibly sweet! I appreciate all your kind words so much. My brain was so scattered with this idea that it really never would have come together without Tara's help. I absolutely LOVE to come up with ideas and scenarios for pilots, I have tons in my head that I would love to see written but sometimes I struggle with getting it down. However, maybe I'll be more inclined to try now that I have one under my belt.

I'm so pleased that you knew the ending wasn't going to change and that it still felt like something important happened for them. I've had to live with the poof for so long and I finally feel like I could find a way to really embrace it. I just wish these two kids were able to say goodbye appropriately. *sigh*

Thank you so much for reading and commenting! <3 (Now I need to go through your LJ and catch up on all the things you've written!)

*nods* Yes. I am in favour of this :D

Ironically enough, most of the stuff that I've written (pilots wise anyways) isn't actually on my LJ. I'm in the middle of compiling some kind of index though so if you wait a bit you will have a handy list of links to choose things from.
