Great use of history, great banter. What a nice way to count down 1 more week! (And wow that you wrote a new K/L fic, considering it's been a while; I just reread Angle of Descent last night and sighed myself into K/L oblivion.) :->

Thank you!

[daphnaea]

Thanks, and thanks for commenting. Glad to hear my oldies are still in circulation as well... OMG why is it not Oct. 6 yet?!

I love this. Maybe this line, most of all - always knew how to light up a room with the things that flared between them like feedback from a microphone - but really, all the snark and the love that sparks between them. K/L being buddycops is pretty much my favorite thing about BSG.

I had a really sad, bad-news day yesterday, not that you would have any way of knowing that, but this is about the best cheer-up present that I could've gotten. (this, and wisteria_ distracting me with fic! :0))

*hugs*

So sorry to hear about your bad news, and happy I could do a bit to distract you. Always glad to do my bit in combating the real world. And am (somewhat irrelevantly) amused by how easy it is to write total K/L without the faintest bit of sex in it...

and ps. - a belated happy natal day to you!! :0) Hope it was a good one! (I like posting fic on my birthday, too.)

Wow, this is the best fic I've read in a long time. It was absolutely fantastic, and it fit them so well.

[daphnaea]

Thanks so much! Glad to hear it seemed in character, as there were a few moments I was worried about (it just took so long to finish I didn't have the energy to revise any more).

one of the few things worth a return to fandom: fic by you. Just gorgeous, Daphnaea. Beyond insightful, at times, and written subtly and sparingly. I can't help but envy your skill.

*adores and memories* thank you for sharing.

[daphnaea]

Aww, thanks! Glad it didn't nosedive from 'subtle' into 'boring', as there were extended periods when I was writing this when I had no idea where the thing was going, and excessive dialogue often equates with self-indulgent writing in which nothing happens. Although in another sense I guess this is more plotty than what I usually write. I hate writing plot. I'm too lazy for it, I don't like having to figure out how things happen (I only care about how they affect the people involved). Anyway, I'm still hoping for more "Contraventions" some day...

This was nice. Thanks for writing it.
