[fic] Darkest Hour [Five White Nights]

[indigo419]

While I was washing the dishes the other night, a fic came knocking, and insisted on being let in. (Or let out.) This is something of a bookend to Five First Nights Back on Galactica, which dealt with the returnees from New Caprica. A lot has happened since then.

Hurrah, new fic!! These were lovely but I especially liked the first one (which satisfied my chief-and-kara are secretly BFFs kink) and of course, OF COURSE, the last one. Beautiful. Kara kisses him goodnight (hee, Lee is so cute!) and his thoughts about Racetrack are great here.

Oh, Chief. I've been loving Chief's Zen state in these recent eps. He's sort of a man with no country, but he knows his worth and he knows he's got a job to do, whether or not anyone tells him so. In his area, he's got as much or more authority than the Admiral. I figured pilots wouldn't mind taking direction from him. :D

And Lee, of course, is my POV character, so when Racetrack (also one of my faves) does something mystifying like that, Lee has to puzzle it out. *g*

So glad you liked it, T!

Oh, babes, I loved this. Galen and Gaeta; Racetrack (I too like to think she would have tried to stop them shooting Lee); Tigh (who is becoming my FAVOURITE character ever - after Apollo and Starbuck, perhaps, but dude, I love him to pieces) and his useless Cylon powers, which made me laugh because I have been thinking the same thing; and, indi, such totally right post-battle, soldierly efficient but nonetheless hot sex.

Ah. I only just rewatched The Oath, too, on Sky, and it was great to read some post-ep fic immediately after...

[indigo419]

Yay for efficient sex! ;0D Pilots do it with extra thrust!

(I guess that means I made the right choice to leave in the sexxin'. I was going to end it at "...eve of battle", but then I looked everything over and realized there needed to be some deep primal connecting to balance out the despair (as well as, on a subliminal level, the isolation from the prequel fic).)

*hugs* thanks, hon!

Lovely. I like your exploration of Gaeta and how he realizes just how over his head he is.

[indigo419]

Gaeta's a numbers guy. I think he, like Garner, failed to realize that command is a messy task involving people who act independently and refuse to behave the same way every time.

Thank you - so happy it worked for you! :)

Ah. Beautiful story, and the choice of characters and their voices were wonderfully done.

[indigo419]

Awesome - thank you so much! :)

This is really lovely.

It has an eye of the storm feel to it - a certain amount of calm in the middle of chaos, everyone re-grouping for the inevitable crash.

What a fantastic image. Yes, exactly this.

Thank you so much!
