How would you make the more the good kind of in media res? I'm not trying to keep the fact that it's AU a secret, just have the reader wonder why Sam is acting this way until he speaks to Roslin. It has to open as "Revelations" did and then have the surprising interjection.
The POV is omniscient, with the ability to see anyone's relevant thoughts. Changing it to Roslin-centric is a good idea, I can do that.
It's a spinoff AU. The defining change happened after Kara confronted Roslin in her quarters. As it stands, things didn't go differently in her quarters. Roslin had two choices in "Six of One" and in this case she made the other choice. I think she could have easily done it in canon.
Yes, it could be quite long. And, as usual for me, I'm not sure what should be a conclusion.
I'm glad you get the characterization, I had a feeling you would. I'm excited to hear you're planning a sequel to that fic!
