Thank you so much! I'm thrilled that you liked this. :)
I'm with Laura, I used to think I didn't like Ellen, but she turned out to be so much more complicated than I ever realized.
Haha, I flat-out hated Ellen when she first appeared! But starting on New Caprica, and especially once she was revealed as the Fifth, I began to love her.
Laura's wig falling off, finding comfort from Saul Tigh of all people
That was one of the first images I had for this fic. (...Oddly, since it was a remix of a Bill/Laura story!) I wanted Laura with her wig off, snuggling with Tigh as he held her breast in an absolutely platonic way. There was something in the original fic about Bill cupping Laura's breasts through the tanks, and I thought, "Oh, what if those were someone else's tanks, and someone else's hands, and the mood was entirely different?"
(Tigh, of course, jumped at the chance to grope boobs.)
The wedding ring. Oh, my broken heart!
After I wrote the Tigh scene, I asked my husband if it came across the way I wanted it to. (Read: not remotely sexual.) He said it did, and I remarked that Tigh would totally be the best man at their wedding. Then it hit me that the ring was the "dress" that looked nice on her, and the whole fic fell into place. :)
Again, thank you for reading! (And for the recs, which I found through friendsfriends.) ♥
