Wow, what awesome feedback! Thank you so much for taking the time to let me know the parts that you liked. I really appreciate this.
I know what you mean about Caprica. I mean, I always found the Sixes more sympathetic and fascinating than a lot of people but Caprica's shot up to like, the kicked puppy of the show for me. Well, her and Sam Anders. ;)
And OMG COTTLE. I really wish I'd had an excuse to write him more in this story.
I'm glad that Kara's head!Leoben and behaviour and dreams worked for you and that you're seeing a connection between the religous babble Six spews out in the first section and what happens eventually. I did want the story to hang together quite tightly in terms of the crazy metaphors people spew out and the dreams they're having so it's nice to know I kinda succeded there. ;)
And don't worry - I'm very much obsessed with the Twos as well. I think they all share all their memories, which is going to be interesting if that's no longer possible now the Hub has gone.
I absolutely think that Tory's guilt-free composure is something she's trying to trick even herself with. I think she can't let herself feel the enormity of what she did because it would break her. She's very strong-willed and is directing ALL of that at ignoring what she did and forcefully believing that she doesn't need to be guilty because God will forgive and save her. I think that's why she was so quick on the Baltar bandwagon. It gave her an eaay out for her subconscious and a coping mechanism.
The line at the end with Tyrol and Tory is supposed to be an indication that she just told him something awful: probably about Cally.
