Why this must be read:

Because Cally is awesome, and this fic will show you why. This is a backstory for Cally that really works, and keeps her quirks and her place in the Fleet while making her the (tragic) hero of her own story. I've always thought that Cally is one of those people that most of us would be like- she's not the President or the Admiral or the hot-shot pilot; she's the grunt working her butt off and doing the best she can to survive in a world that's really messed up. And this lovely story follows her through all that, from her life on the Colonies to her breakdown and death. If you didn't appreciate Cally before you read this story, I suspect you will after.
