skyandclouds chapter 4 . 2/10/2019 Very nice , actually. I love this couple so much and I wish Laura had a better ending. She totally deserved it. They both did.:) |
MTraverAndujar chapter 4 . 8/5/2016 I'd name all the moments I've loved in this read if I weren't so heartbroken. I might eventually forgive you for doing this to me. |
bostongal chapter 4 . 8/3/2016 Bill was so right to tell her "you could have just said that" regarding her needing some time to make some decisions. Such a classic relationship struggle / pain point. From BOTH perspectives! Loved her whispering "I'm home" as she goes back to Bill's quarters with her things. Perfect ending with him being honest with her about his "episode," their lovemaking, and the humor too ("And now you've had me on it.") LOVED IT! |
bostongal chapter 3 . 8/3/2016 Just have to call out this simply brilliant line: "Of course, no one knows they're overdoing it until they've overdone it." Absolutely loved the scene with Tigh going to visit her! |
bostongal chapter 2 . 8/3/2016 Such a beautifully written chapter! Yes, it's hard to believe she had just said ILY a few days before. I loved this extended scene with him respecting her decision but still being there for her while we also were able to see her listening and processing it through your words. Her final sobs were so needed and warranted and the perfect transition to the next phase of her grief. |
bostongal chapter 1 . 8/3/2016 This chapter really brought me back to this point in their love story. I especially loved seeing them through Lee's eyes both when she visited Bill in his quarters and softly tried to bring him back and when they celebrated finding earth from CIC. Then, what a devestating turn of events, and the role reversal was so striking and heartbreaking! I very much appreciated how you delved into his suicidal episode with thoughts of her and his heartbreak, something we weren't able to see so much of in the eps. And I mostly appreciated the glimpse you gave us of what Laura was thinking when she clung so tightly to the weed and into herself, as sad as it was. It was true. |
Guest chapter 4 . 8/2/2016 Ugh, this was hard to read but in a good way. Such a painful time for Bill and Laura. Thanks for sharing. |
Tempt My Troubles chapter 4 . 8/2/2016 Dammit woman you're lucky I didn't need a whole box of tissues. I'm so happy she told him everything & that she was ready to live her remaining days with him & living in his quarters. Aww the love making scenes were beautiful & they both deeply needed that release. I loved this story even if it made me cry. Loved it! |
Tempt My Troubles chapter 3 . 8/2/2016 Tigh is such a great friend, even if he is a cylon. It's funny that Laura knew he was hiding something from her. Oh Laura skipping her treatments with the lovely Doc, okay more grumpy. |
Tempt My Troubles chapter 2 . 8/2/2016 Woman! You're lucky I only had to use one tissue, just one! Poor Bill is devistated but is being respectful of her decision to not have him touch her. It's good that his words opened her up & her realizing this was her doing causing him, them this pain. |
Tempt My Troubles chapter 1 . 8/2/2016 Phew, so far I don't need the tissues! As I read I could see this playing in my head as she leaves on the cylon ship with Baltar. Bill waiting waiting for her in space & thinking how he never got to hear or say how much he loves her. To them finding Earth & it being unlivable & a waste land. For Laura shutting down & burning the book & her pushing Bill away. |
