Hehe. It was so interesting seeing a piece of Young's past with his wife, even when it was brief and fragmented. Also, I loved how he couldn't say a thing about his wife even if his life depended on it before, and after being stranded on the Destiny he can recall all those small things. It was so sweeeeeeet. I loved too how he reflected on things that he knew he had lost forever, being aware of how much he needed/loved them just after he lost them.
And then, we have the part when he realises that he might lose Rush too. It's like... a punch on your stomach, a punch of "reallity". Like life telling you: "Do you like this? Eh? Do you like this?" Showing you a thing you weren't that conscious about, but after all that poking around you start getting fond of and then *BAM*, it takes it back, just so it can say to you: Yeah, I'm unfair, this is reallity, get over it.
Kind of cruel, if I have a saying... But these things are actually one of my favourites to happen. Sometimes I wish the character loses it forever, others I wish s/he will fight for it and get what they want after suffering (a great deal or a bit, don't care that much... I think. xDD).
Also... comparing Rush's neck with a strangled one... Mm... interesting... interesting if we have in mind that he almost strangled Rush once (the most significative... I just remember one time, in the seeder ship). I think that he would want to capture one of those bugs (just in case), so they can analise it's venom or whatever it has and see what was what got Rush almost dead... Or dead, which I hope no. Because I so waaaaant them together. It would p^ss me off like a great deal if he just died like this. But... heh, it's your fic. xDDD
So... Well, that's what I meant on my last comment... but I wasn't feeling too eloquent :P
Oh, thank you so much for this follow-up comment! I love it when people tell me specifically what they like about my stories.
I'm so glad you liked the part about Emily. I think lost love often works that way, where you take everything for granted until it's gone and then all the good memories come flooding back to haunt you. From the bits of information we get on the show, Young behaved really selfishly in regards to his marriage, and he deserved to lose Emily. I kind of wanted Emily to get a bit of her own back in this chapter.
Yes, life is cruel. It loves to snatch away the things that are important to us. I've gotten in the habit of assessing my life periodically so I can check off all the things that are awesome about it. The things that keep me going. At least if I lose them, I'll look back knowing that I appreciated them while I had them.
Yes, Young did half-strangle Rush on the seed ship, didn't he? I try not to think about that scene when I can help it, but I remember that now. Yuck. But you know, I've noticed that when people get strangled on SGU (Ginn being the main example), they don't really look like strangulation victims. Death by strangulation is very, very ugly.
What got Rush dead/almost dead was his own immune system's response to the venom, not the venom itself. It sucks how our own bodies can freak out and kill us that way, doesn't it?
I'm so sorry then. I usually try to say what I liked about something in special, but after having made several comments in which I didn't have enough space (how do you burn 4300 characters without realising??) and having to cut them I went to the other end. xD Being too brief. :/
I really should try to measure myself more better. (Doesn't make sense? Don't worry. Yoyi's awkward English is one of a kind, it's not you, it's Yoyi's English xDDD)
But since you want a full report, I'll try that next time. I'll try to be eloquent and put aside my fangirling to make a good comment. A comment that says why and when and where. And if there's something that feels off or odd. xD :)
Oh, honey, no. I wasn't demanding a full report! I was just thanking you. You're under no obligation to comment at all, and I really appreciate that you do.
