Oh man, this isn't even for me and I could write you an essay on the things I love. I'll try to be brief.

I love their arguments coupled with the underlying physical affection, that Kara's glare doesn't faze Sam, that Barolay was there to shoot Leoben, Sam's insistence that he can still fight while sick, Kara praying over Nora's statues, "Let's make this quick then," Kara's illegal tackle and her ruling on it, Sam being more single-minded and ruthless than Kara had seen before. And the repetition of her listening to his breathing is beautiful and, if framed by canon, makes their last scene together in sick bay during Someone To Watch Over Me seem that much more poignant.

I think this really captures the nature of their relationship, and I really love the organization of the story.

*throws arms around* Thank you so much for this!! Sorry it took me so long to get back with feedback, but I love it. <3 It's everything I wanted of Resistance Kara/Sam and more. EEE MORAL CONFLICTS AND STUFF. :p

I'm a big fan of the five-times kind of fic, and it's a really awesome choice to center it all around arguments or debates between them, yet it's still so shippy and THEM. A lot of love and passion and mutual respect coming through here. Also really like the backwards structure of it, seems more fitting in that order with the reveal of what happened in the beginning, I love that they *both* initially want to go out and shoot stuff and stop each other. And Barolay's look, hee.

Also, PYRAMID PLAYING. <3

Out of habit, she put her head to his heart, ear pressed to his chest, listening like she'd done for those weeks when he'd been sick.
*hearts* Love that image, and love it at the end too.

Sam had taken on the role of human heater
Oh my GOD.

Random: Oh, Jammer. Your instincts were pretty right there, actually, Kara. XD

I love the strength of Sam in this story. He's willing to make the hard choices - in many ways far more than Kara is. I also adore how their bond connects each and every argument. They know each other in a deep and profound way. There is hard won respect and deep, deep love between them. The snapshot quality to this is a wonderful device too. The terse quality of each entry is beautiful.

Thank you for writing this! I honestly think I'd love to just keep going form scene to scene with them all the way to the end. Bravo! *hugs* K :D

Oh, this fic. I really like how it all inter-twines, and how Sam wants to fight in the beginning (and in the end, as well). And that they're in it together (and I love the mention of the detention center).

(oh, angsty, cave-bound and cranky kids!)
