Another wonderful story. I really enjoyed it and that's saying a lot because I'm not a big Tim or Lyla fan. I like both of them, but they aren't my favs by a long-shot. Once again, your writing style and how you weave in so much meaning into the words is just fantastic.

I was a little nervous about the description, because I thought the story would pin this relationship entirely on someone else's shoulders...but life is always showing me that I know precious little about the world, and this is one of those times.

I'm really glad you wrote this, and I'm also glad that I read this, because it gives a lot more insight into why this one-shot pairing happened, along with adding some more meat to the whole teenage fantasy put-on-hold-and-then-resurrected idea. There are precious few stories nowadays that can give this sort of buildup and reasoning to certain characters' actions, which is why I'm glad I finally came across one of these precious few tonight. Way to go, and off I go to take a look at 'Pillar of Salt'. :)

Wow! I LOVE this! I love the repetition of the rabbit hole and how each time you mention it, Jackie is just a little further down it. Your style is amazing and I loved this line:

>>Her heart had clutched in her chest and the excitement had slipped into the nooks and crannys of her lungs and she hadn't been able to breathe with the way it filled her up.<<

That is just such a great description! The way she's attempting to re-live her teenage dreams through Tim and how she knows it and can't help herself is so poigant. Thanks for a great read.

Wow I am seriously blown away by this tale. I never once thought I'd see the day where I'd be sympathetic to Starbuck of all people or would even want a happy ending for her but you completely convinced me. This was incredibly well done you managed to keep her in character and make her plausible at the same time!

Definitely a good read I highly recommend this to anyone who is a fan (or isn't for that matter) of Starbuck!
