Why this must be read:
It's in the vein of a 'five things' story, and it brilliantly shows of five different lives and deaths of Laura Roslin. The author takes us into Laura's past, present and future. Each part is very well done and beautifully written. Five Deaths is one of the first fics I saw posted on LJ when BSG came out, and it's still one of my favourite Roslin stories.
From Part 3
She can't speak – just breathing is an effort – but she smiles at him. Maybe it is William; maybe it's not. Maybe the Galactica's mission has been a resounding success, and that's why the ship has returned so much sooner than expected. Maybe this is just her mind's way of making these last few days and hours easier.
He is holding her hand in his. It feels reassuringly warm, and real. In his other hand, he is holding a book. Laura strains to see the title on the spine, and when she doesn't recognize it, she guesses it must be one from his collection, on the ship.
William must see her eyes looking curiously at the book, because he says, "I always meant to bring more of them down for you. I should have – I should have done that. I'm sorry."
She smiles at him again. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter at all.
