You know, I actually like AU fic -I love seeing other ways the story could have gone. As long as the characters aren't, ah, "AU" - and yours aren't. I can definitely see Kara and Dee acting that way, in that situation.

Plus the other prompts both had Laura Roslin, and yikes, she's rather intimidating.

*sheepish* I thought about making the third prompt about Boomer being captured/returning to Galactica and she and Athena having to deal with each other. I wondered if that might be a little too crazy. But I'm so glad you chose this one, and I got this wonderful story. *g*

Kara was going to be like a comet (always moving, disappearing), and Dee like a star (constant).


Perfect description for both of them - and I think you captured it in your fic, anyway, though it wasn't made explicit. ( Dee's thoughts about being touched by the sun and burning away, and how she can't envy that in Kara anymore.)


Heh, that vow didn't last long.

Mmm, I'm thinking of signing up for that one, too. The only thing that worries me is how the mods will Cut You if you write a Mary Sue, and that includes characters with a "Destiny." Hmph! ;)

Oh, I was hoping you'd talk about what you cut! I hope you will write Dee again. Lee only loving the lost cause and Kara being less likely to forgive an affront to others and the lost titles. *sigh* Oh, you have to. But this part:

She's getting used to being just Dee again.

I think that probably explains why she was so reluctant to leave him. He's the only person left alive who knows her first name. Poor Dee!
