Oh, this is a very dangerous meme.

Never Will I Ever meme: Name three fics you think I will never, ever, ever write. In return, I will attempt to write a snippet of one of them.

Heavy emphasis on the attempt to write.  If you completely stump me on all three...I'll think of some kind of other prize, I guess.

adama, zarek, billy, roslin, roslin/zarek, dee, hoshi, gaeta/baltar, bsg, adama/roslin, gaeta, gaeta/hoshi, tory, baltar/tory, fic

Ten years later…

“That has got to be the strangest experience I’ve had in a long time,” Bill said, joints creaking as he sat down heavily on the couch beside Laura.

“Hmm?” Laura asked, only half awake. “I thought you were just helping Lee and Emma put the girls to bed.”

“I was,” Bill said. “But they wanted Grandpa Bill to read them a bedtime story.”

“And that’s so strange?” Laura sat up and pulled the afghan around her tighter. “I would think you’d relish any opportunity you got to read to them. What with Lee living here on the other side of the continent, it’s not exactly something you get to do every day.”

“Oh, I’m not complaining about that,” Bill quickly clarified. “It’s just that, apparently, ‘Grandpa’ Tom has them hooked on the strangest books.”

Laura rolled her eyes. “Oh, Grandpa Tom is involved,” she repeated knowingly. “Well, then it can’t possibly be any good for them. Honestly, Bill. He was my rival, remember? If I can bury the hatchet, so can you ( ... )

Zarek as the cool grandpa is wonderful. It's interesting how Laura assumes that Bill's issue with Zarek is his being her rival. I've always thought that behind all of it was that Zarek held a gun on his son and Bill's never forgiven him for it. It's one of those behind the curtain things that never gets mentioned. But Bill's never going to forgive him for threatening Lee.

Very true--I hadn't thought about that. It's funny, how Lee seems to let go of that first incident with Zarek and, though he certainly doesn't trust him, is much more able to work with Zarek than his father is.

Thanks for reading!

Yes, I am *adamant* that Dee is most definitely their surrogate daughter, even if she isn't married to Lee anymore. So is Kara, but I'm also pretty adamant that Kara doesn't have nor want kids.

Thank you much!

OMG- SO CUTE!!! :) I love it! (Especially "Are you sure they're actually strange and not just... British?" Classic. (Also am very amused at the girls' names.)

And Grandpa Tom just cracks me up. You know, I think he would be a good grandpa. ::daydreams about Felix and Louis adopting a baby and Tom being grandpa::

Thanks!

I agree. And, your daydream is adorable, of course. ;)

Aww, I just read this and it's totally adorable. I love the idea of Laura and Bill having all these grandkids, and sharing some of them with Zarek, and Bill getting all grouchy over not being cool enough. I'd love more of that :)

Bill glared and brought out his best Incensed Admiral voice. “Bonnie called me a muggle.”

“What does that mean?”

Bill replied ominously, “I don’t know.”

That made me giggle lots.

Thanks so much for reading! I really need to get back to work in this 'verse--there's an Adama and Roslin-centric chapter coming up very soon.

Now I want to see the Adamas run into Luna. Either the character or the actress who plays her - since that girl IS Luna, to a scary degree!

Hee! I don't have any immediate plans for a BSG/HP crossover, but that would be funny. I have plans for Bill and Laura bickering over whether wireless Internet will be the downfall of humanity, though...

Thanks for reading!

In the first part of my SJA/BSG crossover, I have them bickering over the internet because Bill Just Won't Have It in his house, and Laura is reduced to getting an iphone on the sly, but - since she's technically challenged - she gets Lee and Kara to actually work the thing. And warns them not to let Bill know that the iphone has Evil Net Access. Hee.
