Why this must be read:

How Leoben Conoy got his name, and why he keeps it.

Leoben is hard to write, and this short fic nails him perfectly.

Humans are given a name, one name, and they cling to it for the rest of their miserable lives. That’s the first thing he learns about the differences between them, and it’s told to him by a perfect copy of himself; a blood and teeth and eyes brother, a shared number, for the Cylons had no need of names. Until now.

Something he never quite perfects is the flinch in the shoulders when somebody calls him; the small flick of the head won’t come easy and he has to be quick to simulate recognition. That’s how they notice you’re different – the little details.
