(no subject)
Canon: Battlestar Galactica
Characters/Pairing: Bill/Laura
Prompt: slipping away
There's been no shortage of events in Bill's life that he hasn't felt able to control.
The failure of his marriage. Zak's death. His estrangement from Lee. War. Sharon's betrayal. Kara's no-holds-barred heroics. Laura's refusals to back down.
But even when he thinks he could've done more, all he can ever control is what he does.
Laura stops breathing as they fly low over the greenest planet they've seen since Caprica.
First he regrets that he wasn't watching, that he wasn't holding her hand. Then he puts his ring on her finger and finds the perfect spot for their cabin.
