Woah!!! So basically, no matter what happened they were destined to run the same course.

I must say, this was beautifully written although NOT AT ALL WHAT I EXPECTED!!! Poor angsty, tormented pilots...

I'm trying to figure out if this is what would have happened...I was so optimistic at the beginning.

Well, you are an incredible writer...I cant even imagine being able to string words together like this.

Thanks Love!!! You da best!

Lynn! I'm so sorry to have crushed all of your hopes! (And also that it's taken me like a week to reply to your comment, I fail at the internet this week).

Thank you for your lovely words about my writing even though I destroyed your soul with my miserable and nihilistic take on what was supposed to be a fun prompt, I promise next time I will leave the angst-cakes at home.

Come and see me when you're in London! I will buy you a cookie :)

hahaha...it takes more than that to crush my hopes kiddo.

You're too cute...it's not big deal and in fact, i've forgotten that you tried to kill an old woman with angst.

hahahaha.

a cookie? i'm game...i'll be there from Nov 16-20.

see ya

[howlinchickhowl]

hehe, it's part of the new government assasin programme, it's perfect really, untraceable killings, no one would suspect you died of angst!!

Cookies it is :) I shall search far and wide for the best and most deliciousest!

Interesting. A lovely statement on the eternally missed timing between Kara and Lee. A lovely piece even with a sad ending. It does make me wonder if things would change going forward though, now that Lee can really admit he screwed up? hmmm.

That is an interesting idea, I had never considered it. In my head they just go round and round in miserable ever-decreasing circles and never manage to meet anywhere in the middle, but now that I think of it, your idea is a much nicer one. And it would be nice if they could at some point get onto the same page...hmm...

This is so depressing. :(
I loved most of it, though, painful as it was. My hopeful heart just couldn't take the end. I kept hoping something would change, that they would talk at some point or something. Oh, pilots!*sighs*

[howlinchickhowl]

Sorry! I honestly didn't think it was that bad when I wrote it, although I think that's just because this is how I think of them in my brain, which is a very, very sad place to be. I feel like I should have given everyone proper warning! My humble apologies to your poor heart, thank you for reading anyway *hugs*

[embolalia]

So much angst! But it's what they're best at. It almost makes Kara's introduction of Lee to Sam acceptable. I loved how even when they were bad for each other, like always, neither ended it, neither could let go. Lovely piece!

[howlinchickhowl]

It almost makes Kara's introduction of Lee to Sam acceptable.

I hate that scene so much!! I literally can't stand it, she's just so cruel! And I hadn't thought of it in that way, but yeah, maybe this is some kind of justification for it.

I think the fact that they can never really let go of each other is one of my main reasons for loving pilots, they're so doomed.

Thank you for commenting :)

I am so glad I was eating chocolate when reading this.

Sodding pilots

(Well done you. you really see into the heart of them. Enough that it hurts.)

[howlinchickhowl]

Sorry bb! *hands you more chocolate, even though it's a week late*

Well done you. you really see into the heart of them. Enough that it hurts.

I'm sorry to have hurt you, but I take this as the biggest compliment ever, thank you :)

*hugs!*
