Ha! Yes! What a great way to put it. This was great filler fic but...a plot would have been useful to make it an entry to a bigbang challenge.
Simon's story was great, and I liked the relationship between Gianna and Tyrol too. Mainly, I think because I really didn't feel it was terribly "shippy". He kissed her sure, but...there was something else going on there. That was looking for connection and finding it unexpectedly and being grateful. Not the start of a relationship. (Though Gianna sure knows how to pick them Cylons...)
As to Punk!Six, I definitely want to know what was up with her. Cavil definitely mentioned that a Two was some government minister's Yoga instructor (!!!) and one of the Sixes was a prostitute, though I wasn't sure if he was generally referring to the bredth of infiltration he achieved prior to the attacks or to the people he currently had to work with. I think the latter though because (a) that seems a likely background for Punk!Six if slightly unimaginative and (b) it means that Leoben WAS A YOGA INSTRUCTOR.
The killing of the boy thing I think I would have understood better if he killed him because he'd discovered their secret or something. I think in theory the fact he didn't could render it even more interesting, but...something about the setup didn't quite gel for me. :(
Also HEE that you recognised the young actor, though not watching SPN, I'm afraid that doesn't mean much to me.
