You are awesome. Been there, done that with the whole summer reading thing. Get on it girl! What do you have left to read?
I MUST DO THE DISHEs. THE KITCHEN IS STARTING TO...well not quite smell, but it's not exactly fresh. Will be back in a bit to read and comment :] I know I'm going to love it.

I've read all 900 pages worth of my four books combined - now I just have to summarize it all. Le sigh. The hardships of being an honors student... taking AP history in 10th grade... =]

Yes, I think you will more than likely love it, too.

This was really excellent writing and storytelling. I liked that it was out of order. I think since it's in Lee's very disjointed point of view, it makes more sense this way. And I kid you not, I put on The Killers per your semi-suggestion and Everything Will Be Alright came on as I was reading the last section.

Favorite parts:

There’s a spot on CAP with your name on it, Admiral, if you want it. We both know you may never get to fly again, and we both know how much you love it. Don’t do something stupid and squander the chance. Skids up in 47 minutes.

You really capture her voice so well.

If anyone had told her this morning that she would see something today on her deck that she didn’t know how to deal with, she would have laughed in that person’s face and told them in her sweetest voice possible that she’s not a nugget, thanks - she is a mother and a soldier, and between the two, she has seen everything. She has a solution for every problem, from a stripped screw to a teething toddler. Most importantly, she is

That was sort of my goal with the disjointedness - glad it had the desired effect on the story.

You really capture her voice so well.
this made me grin so big - she is such a hard character to get a really good handle around.

I love Cally to bits. Here she is--a real, fleshed out character in one paragraph--something the show has struggled with for the past two seasons!
I know! I'm really hoping for her to become a more dynamic and rounded chacter in S3 - and, if I believe the spoilers, maybe she will be.

I don't cry when reading fic any more. But you managed it.
Thank you / I'm sorry. =]

Thank you so much for the lovely note at the beginning. You are a talented writer and since you're so young and spritely, you'll no doubt do astounding things! When I was in HS I didn't have the guts to write even though I loved it. So look how far ahead of the game you are already. :]Writing is to me like breathing. I would write even if I were terrible at

On the crying...I usually cry while watching TV and movies, sob while reading good books, but it's been a long time since a fic has made me cry. I think it's because I started reading X-Files fanfic when I was your age and cried my little eyes out over all the death fic

[futurobrillante]

Movies and TV don't get me... but any literature - books, fics, whatever - can make me cry. But I don't cry all that easily. Did enough of that when I was a little kid.

I think 10th and 11th both have an equal amount of pressure on them (this at least according to the juniors and seniors I'm friends with) - because in 10th you really have to kick the academics into high gear so that you can start taking AP classes in 11th... and also you have to decide where to apply for colleges (I as of now have absolutely no idea where I want to go). But I guess I'm pushing a little harder acadmically than most, because I'm taking AP history this year as well as next year. The work's a bitch, but I think if I keep my straight-A average, it should get me places.

I don't want to go through my life as a could-have. Maybe I'm being a little overly-idealistic, but 'lofy goal' and 'idealistic' are my middle names.

This is incredible. I loved the jumping through time.... Love.It.

Thank you.

I keep meaning come come back and comment. It took me a bit to actually read it, with the warning and all, I gotta prepare myself for 'death'. But I really truly adore your writing so I knew I had to read it, even if you ripped my heart out, which you didn't! Not that is wasn't sad, but I'm fine with character death when it isn't kara/lee. I loved the way it was seperated, and mixed up. It was really well done. I have a lot of favorite parts, but I'll be up for hours if I tell them all to you now.:) So let me just say I was wonderful. :) And I'm glad you are proud of it! Because it is that damn good!

[futurobrillante]

character death when it isn't kara/lee
Is my favorite, though ever since I read one of Pi's little onesies of doom the other day, I've had this idea in my head that just won't go away... I'll make sure to warn you if I ever get around to writing it.

Thank you so much for reading and liking this. =]

[nebakanezer]

It took me days to read her sentences of doom. Days to prepare myself I tell ya! and so I wasn't ready for that last one because I hadn't read the sentences yet. :)

Gods, did I not leave a review for this when I read it before?
Because I really loved it... beautifully written, and I liked that it was all mixed up even though it meant I had to read it like three times because I wanted to get the order straight in my head!
Both shower scenes are especially gorgeous, in a fragile, verging-on-painful-and-yet-not kind of way. I love that you began and ended the fic with them.
Great work!
