And above, Galactica circled endlessly.
the only eyes she wants to see watching her are blue and warm at once ♥ she'll get used to the 'stache XD

i love your title and the build of the tension, from up in the stars to down on the ground (literally) and then back again in a heartbeat ♥

What a lovely sentence!

I love how you've interpreted the prompt.

And above, Galactica circled endlessly.

Love this - what a killer ending!

I love the notion that Laura knew that Bill was watching over her on NC, it fits so well with her "I refuse to believe that Adama has abandoned us" line in Occupation.

I like to think they had time to really talk to each other, as people and not only as leaders, during the missing year, so she'd know he was circling above, keeping an eye on the people, always ready to fight and never willing to abandon them, no matter what the odds.

I agree.

*cough*therewasfrakkingtoo*cough* :P

This so fits with the idea that Laura saw NC as this chance to just be a regular woman--it fits so well with the "I Quit!" Laura of season four. Then of course, it all went in the crapper and Bill was so close and so far.

Bill was so close and so far

In a lot of ways, wasn't he always?

Interesting interpretation of the prompt babe!

That Galactica circling endlessly surely gave her strength. I'm sure she was happy when she saw it jump into the atmosphere above her again.

I think Galactica gives the once and future president strength, and its commander gave Laura strength.

I really like the third paragraph. How citizen!Laura was perceived by the population of NC is really interesting and open to interpretation, and you said so much so concisely here.

It's an interesting question, isn't it? How would any one of us react if our head of state, who promised us salvation and traded it in for a better [longer] life for herself, moved in next door without luxuries or security agents?
