abuseHm, an interesting ending. I was expecting Adama to do something since he was so bugged by Roslin being there with Lee, so it was a nice surprise that he didn't. Not the cute father-son moment I was hoping for, but that makes it all the better, as you kept them in-character in that, you know what I mean? There probably wouldn't actually be any cute father-son moment in the TV show, as much as I want one, so there shouldn't be in a fic either, no? I'm not sure if my ramblings are making sense, as my brain is tired, sorry, haha. Anyway, an enjoyable fic; thanks for sharing!
Have an awesome day, and God bless!

abuseEither approximately or between - not both. They don't go together. Also, realized is with a z not an s. Please proofread more carefully. Otherwise, good story.

abuseWhat was excellent here is how well you described Lee's tiredness: "He should do more, after all, she was the President, but he felt so drained that he could not bring himself to turn around." - almost made me feel this myself.

I think I like this chapter best of the whole story, simply because it’s from Lee’s perspective. I am into the Adamas' father-son angst, but when it’s Lee-centric :) I’m only slightly obsessed…

So when are you going to continue “Sign of Cain”?

abuseVery poiganant. Bill knows he and Lee need to talk, but will save it for a better time, and we know a better time isn't coming any time soon. Great job getting into Bill's head!

abusePoor Bill, is he in denial, or what? Make sure they had a male role model - an absentee father can't do that too well. A few visits a year don't quite cut it. Knowing the character, there would have been difficulties enough if he had been present at all times.

Enjoying this so much. So interesting what you've done so far,and I'm really curious to see where you will go with their relationship - or should I say relationship-building.

abusePoor Bill - we saw this jealousy in Bastille Day (and other times as well). If only he could put it aside and figure out how to be the father Lee needs. Great scene.

abuseI was so excited when I saw you had a new story up. Here's more picky comments:

"I War" should be "first war" or First Cylon War"

This is pickier yet: a number used in writing should be spelled out unless it is of so many digits to be ridiculous, like "one hundred thirty-nine thousand.

I had to stop and think (and I hate to do that!) when I read about Bill "now he did not dare." - trying to remember if he and Lee had reconciled about Zak's death yet - if Kara has "fessed up." Normally it would be best to give a little bit of Bill's thoughts as to why he felt he "did not dare." In context of a story where we already knew why, or it was obvious, you wouldn't have to.

Now back to - how much I love your writing. Mentioning Bill's old scars, joining Yannik's comment, "Lee's fingers caressed the glass," - all the ways you create feeling and mood.

abuseAnother great approach. What I loved most was that little thing with Tigh (btw: it's Saul, not Paul), Gaeta and then Kara, and how it "looked so ordinary, as if nothing happened". That simple sentence sells the feeling of loss perfectly.

Waiting for more.
