This entire fic was fantastic- heart wrenchingly, gut twistingly fantastic. I adored it completely, and Ellen... oh, Ellen. I love the parallels and contrasts between the two pairings and between the two women, and it's just... absolutely brilliant.

Fantastic job! I wish I could be more eloquent with my feedback, but I'm not particularly good at it. But this was absolutely amazing, and I loved it. Thanks for writing this!

I loved all of your feedback--I really appreciated that you commented on each chapter. It was very insightful. It was so sweet of you, and wonderful to read your thoughts.

I'm a little speechless right now (in a good way) at your generous and glowing feedback, I'm soooo happy you loved it. It means a lot to me because this story really came from my heart. So thank you.

Thank merrykk :) She left feedback on every chapter of mine, and it was so nice that I decided to take a page from her book. (Plus, it's a little easier at times if there's something specific I want to comment on.) Heh.

This really was an excellent story. I have a total soft spot for New Caprica anyway, because there are so many blanks to be filled in. And ever since... hmm... I think I started falling in love with Ellen when I did femgenficathon, and then she featured heavily in both my big bangs, and I just completely and utterly fell in love with her. She's just so complicated, but she comes across at first as anything but. I need to start finding more Ellen fic ::sigh::

I also didn't notice the banner for the top, because I came from the big bang site and just hit the chapter links, but the art at the top is beautiful!

Thanks on the banner--my bigbang artist didn't necessarily produce something relevant to the story, so there was a bit of a rally (riot? lol) by some friends last night and katamaran78 whipped that one up for me. It's gorgeous, isn't it?

Right on. That's what makes her so fun to write. It's so awesome that you're an Ellen fangirl. I am going to have to read your fic, at least, put them on my list, because I am really crappy at reading fic but I have good intentions. :)

Gods I loved this chapter. Of course, I loved every chapter and I don't feel like I'm giving you very good feedback. It all seems so unworthy. It was amazing. You're amazing. I'm all teary. xxoo

[icedteainthebag]

Any feedback is good feedback, and yours was excellent. MUCH love to you for commenting on each piece--that means a lot to me.

So happy you loved this story. Really. It's hard for me to express in words how happy I am! ♥ ♥ Thanks for reading and commenting.

Oh Ellen. This whole thing was wonderful and sad. Very well done :).

[icedteainthebag]

Thank you, dear! *hugs* Thank you so much for reading and commenting. Your Bambi icon is so cute and innocent. It makes me giggle. :)

Oh, and before I go to bed, just wanted to tell you I love the part about Bill kissing Laura's bruises. Yes, yes, yes, I know you're shocked I love the A/R parts but, seriously, it was so in character that he would KNOW that they were bruises but that he wouldn't say anything. *sigh*

[icedteainthebag]

OMG, you loved an A/R part, what!??!!? :)

seriously, it was so in character that he would KNOW that they were bruises but that he wouldn't say anything.
Thank you... this is all so sad to me, that what should be a happy reunification has this dark specter lurking over it, that in the back of both of their minds, they know horrible things happened and they have yet to deal with the aftermath.

And your icon... wow, how appropriate.

I'm afraid I'm too speechless to leave coherant comments. It was just amazing, it felt so real. This is why I love Ellen so much. Thank you.

[icedteainthebag]

:) :) :) Sigh. You've made me so happy. More Ellen love is needed. ♥ Thank you for reading and commenting. This feedback was just as good as any, rest assured. :)
