Thank the Gods for interesting fics. (See? I don't always need femslash.)
This was magnificent. Really beautiful. I love the symbolism. (7 trees!)
I love what this implies. That Natalie was really and deeply moved by Sam's gesture on the baseship and that she would want the kind of comfort he offered if she were to be dying.
It's also interesting your vision of Cylon death/afterlife. Seems to be a journey of visually impulses and emotional attachments gathered in life that may somehow corrupt itself in the event of death. I don't use the term corrupt in its negative connotations, but simply to mean that it results in an abstract scape similar to a dream.
That this happens to be so vivid as to be effectively real is also interesting. If the Cylons really are just data, then their reality is as real in life as it could be in dreams, in daydreams or fantasy, or in death.
Anyway, getting all philosophical. I really loved this fic. It's very sweet, very clever.
