Laura/Kara Fic Party!

[astreamofstars]

I'm posting this a day earlier than I said, as I think a lot of stuff is happening tomorrow and I wanted to get this out there :)

(I don't think this makes any sense, whatever! It's not what I intended to post today either..)

This is not about Caprica, Sam and all the others left behind, or the woman who died earlier that day. This is not about comfort from the deaths, and emptiness that shadows them.

This is about Laura, who smells like rain, whose lips are bitter from chamalla.

This is about Laura, who is going to die.

This is about Laura, who shivers while she undresses.

This is about Laura, who hums when she is held too tight; whose hands don't shake while traveling up an unfamiliar thigh.

This is about Laura, and the comfort Kara never learned how to give.

Oh I like it! It's so poetic. It could be a nice intro to something larger. It has that nice epic quality to it.

But I know you have a lot on your plate, so no pressure to create yet another WIP. I just really like it.

Thank you!

Heh, the only thing that this would become a part of is me just trying to experiment with them in more 'canon' situations.

Thank you.

I'm a little surprised at the sensuality that did come through in this, but as my thoughts while writing it consisted of 'Rain, Kobol, Laura's lips' I suppose it's a bit more surprising it didn't go farther..

I'm glad this was so appealing to you!

It makes perfect sense. There are so few canon opportunities to get them together but this one fits nicely. They were both so alone. *sob*

Thanks. I wanted to try exploring canon moments for them, and there really are so few! I'm glad this works, even in a slightly depressing capacity.

The chamalla on her lips is a persistent image for you, isn't it? This is lovely and I like that it is sensual without suggesting this is an idyllic or perfect pairing. The hands not shaking on the unfamiliar thigh makes me think of how both of these women have a history of using casual sex as an escape from feelings they can't handle.

Yea, Laura tasting like drugs is something I've definitely used before. She's sick and she's dying; the first time around when she's only taking chamalla and there aren't so many noticeable changes to her body, I always feel like there should be a reminder of that to whoever she's with. Hence the bitter taste.

The two of them do have similar coping mechanisms when it comes to tumultuous emotional experiences. The big difference is that Kara is just as likely to get shit-faced drunk, where I don't see Laura binge drinking. Maybe when she was younger?

Sweet and haunting, and the newness of this to both of them resonates.

So much in this little glimpse. Love it.

This is about Laura...and yet says so very much about Kara.

I like that I was left to fit this together like a puzzle, discovering the pieces left scattered on the table without an image as a reference
