I both hate and love this series. And I love you for making me love it when I'm so bound and determined to hate it. This is so wonderfully angry and complex and stylized. It's raw and painful in the best of ways. I know where your muse went. She's sitting on your other shoulder with a new name. Cause you clearly haven't lost her. It's gorgeous.
It delights me to no end to make you love Laura/Sam even a little bit. I know how much you want to hate this fic to pieces. Glad you didn't. I was worried the stylized anger would just come off as crack, so I am relieved it resonated instead.
And you are sweet to point out my muse is still hanging around. She's been a troublemaker lately. Thank you for this wonderful feedback. I respect your work so much that praise from you is always so welcome.
I'm thrilled you enjoyed the pairing. I love making new Laura/Sam fans. They do have a lot in common with dealing with their Adamas, and the bond of enduring New Caprica together.
She lets the woman in the mirror stay there while she moves on with her life.
Great way to put it, and something I really do find fascinating about her character.
Wow! I hadnt gotten back far enough to see this on my flist but thankfully pointed me here this morning!
That was amazing! I love post!dance fics and I adore that you brought the two of them together again through that. And also how you weaved her realtionship with Bill into it so intricately.
The tension and the anger and the passion are so poignant. And it was so hot too ♥ simply amazing
The world needs more Laura/Sam, this may have just inspired me to finish the small fanmix that I have floating around in my head.
As much as my heart belongs to A/R I do love this pairing too. I never would have believed the two together as a believable notion until you first introduced them in War Crimes. You've done a brilliant job of bringing the two wounded NC souls together in a way that isn't cheap or tawdry as it so easily could be when two people come together to work out their frustrations in this way, but instead you have used them both as a sort of balm for each other, yes they are using sex with each other as a release for troubles caused by their true partners, but it never feels like they are using one another if you know what I mean, there is a genuine care there.
I'm glad that the scene between them in the morning was not one of awkwardness or regret or shame but one of a mutual understanding and respect of one another.
Can you tell I enjoyed this? Its been great to read something of yours again. Thankyou for sharing.
Thanks for the great feedback. I'm so happy you enjoyed the story.

This is really nice to hear. I know they are a reach as a pairing, but I still think there is something special there that you can see if you squint! In any event, I wanted to present them in a meaningful way and not just for porny kicks, though well the hot can't be denied either! ;)

I agree. This was part of how I wanted to present them, as unashamed of their need for comfort and release.
I am reading this clandestinely but I gotta say it's so worth it even in a tiny window on my desktop as I wait for the room to fill with people. This is truly the perfect ending to the Laura/Sam escapades. It it so natural and that it ended on a note that leaves it feeling like it wasn't wrong or cheating (though, yeah, I know he is married) but a significant, poignant ending to a rare, special connection. Though you could always write the Laura/Bill aftermath. Just sayin'.
