[bsg fic] Elect

Dec 30, 2005 09:41

So! This is the fic that ate my brain - the Muse has not allowed me to work on anything else for the last two months. I wanted to write something short, snarky and bantery; instead, this came out dark and angsty and talkier than a Rohmer film. It's still a little rough but I wanted to get it out before the end of the year - call it my own fic ( Read more... )

Mmmmmmmmmmmpilots. Oh. That was lovely. You used so many little tricks and turns of phrase that I loved, but I think my favourite was "Marry me," she dares him - it IS a dare, everything they're dancing around and refusing to look at head-on.

This is going on my 'reread to feel warm and fuzzy' list.

so glad it pleased!! I think perhaps the "dare" is the only way Kara would even be able to formulate the question, because she's certainly not in it for the white dress and respectability.

'reread to feel warm and fuzzy' list

hee! I have one of those too. Very good for cold wet days, like today is, here.

Loved this! *hugs* Seemed so totally not-AU. We can only hope, right? :) You really got the characterisations and voices down. Great job!

PS Can I friend you? I really like what you've written so far.

so glad you enjoyed! when I'm feeling despondent about the fate of the K/L 'ship I imagine them in my little AU-verse. :0)

please, feel free to friend! more friends are always welcome!

I loved this. alecto47 December 2 2006, 00:53:47 UTC

Really, really loved it. The poem by Wendell Berry --- ahhh.

Thanks so much! Can't take credit for the poem - *g* - but it was definitely a catalyst in writing this. Glad you enjoyed!

Oh, adorable. And the swooping kiss on the bridge over the hangar is icing on that particular cake. So like them to keep a misunderstanding going for days - bless.

Awwww, thank you! So nice to know that someone's still reading and enjoying this one. I miss pilots so much.

Wonderful fic. I read it a while ago, but apparently, forgot to comment back then. I suck that way.

I really love the characterization (of course, Lee would consider his options, and of course, in the end, the decision would come to him naturally...)

“Kara, it’s too hard to think about this as the rest of my life. I just - I just want to be around next week when Gaeta wins his socks back from you. I want to figure out how to beat my father at sparring. I want to wake up next to you in the morning"
Perfect way of putting it; it's hard, considering the way they live, to make big plans for the future.

Thanks so much for sharing this fic! ;)

oh, thank you!! It gives me a lot of joy to know that someone's still reading this little story.

I think, sometimes, that big decisions are just made up of a lot of little decisions, and those are really what make up a life: all the moments that add up to love.

Thanks for the lovely comment!
