Yay, more of this! And I won't object to the extra chapter, not at all. ;)

It's nice to see Lee and Kara relating again, even if it's only on a professional level. Baby steps!

Love love love the scene with Sam. I wanted to give him a big ol' hug when he said NC wasn't a waste of time for him.

And the end... aargh! Though I must admit I had a cracky thought that if the bullet hit in the right spot (or rather left, LOL) he could have a symmetrical scar pattern!

Baby steps! Seph-sized steps... only she's not quite walking yet. Lol.

I greatly dislike martyr-Sam. I think Sam would be hurt by Kara leaving him, but I think he loved her enough to just... appreciate their time together and move on.

LOL, in my mind's eye the bullet hit a little bit low on the chest.

So glad to see your update. Loved how you defused the Anders situation. Also,does your to be continued mean a 7b ?

All the chapters say TBC at the end... or they should. Lol. Next one is definitely chapter 8.

Glad you're liking it.

Great chapter! I adored the quite conversation between Sam and Kara. It was nice to see Kara keeping her cool with Racetrack because I kind of wanted to punch her.

Tons of action and then you got Lee shot! That just dropped my jaw to the floor. I can't wait to read the next part. So good!

It's hard because Kara doesn't keep her cool, Starbuck never kept her cool before... but she's got things to work for now. :)

Loving this story. Of course, just as Lee and Kara come to an understanding, Lee gets shot. That's why I love fic.

I'm glad you're enjoying. :)

Oh lovely movement of the plot! I adore this!

A couple thoughts on this... for some reason, the mother of his child rubbed me the wrong way. It felt patriarchal and, frankly, very much the side of Lee I disliked in canon. Interestingly - I know your writing and I know that this is NOT an accident... and I look forward to Lee coming to the eventual recognition and embrace of the fact that he and Kara need to do this together.

I really started to see this progress with him coming to accept and trust her again. Just wonderful steps on his part. It also felt 'real' that this part of him was through her flying. (Where he'd have trouble accepting other sides of her.)

And then a great twist to the end. Fantastic cliffhanger!

Okay, it is a little patriarchal, but it was more intended in the "they made their baby together" thing than anything else... that they were linked by blood.

Glad you're liking it!
