Things of importance.
(Brought to you by forgetful!me forgetting to post things to my journal after I write them for no_takebacks challenges!)
Today's round-up post: fic(let)s, icons, graphics, mix (kind of...)
---
Fic! (More like ficlets, but you get the picture.) Ficlets that I wrote... a long time ago (June-ish?)... and completely forgot to post here, like usual. *le sigh*
Adventures in Road Tripping, Kara/Lee, PG
(Written for Drabble Weekend: He Said, She Said at no_takebacks for prompts "We're going the wrong way!" (sci_fi_shipper) and "You are BEYOND INSANE!" (embolalia).)
"Kara, slow down for frak's sake! We're going the wrong way!"
Kara just speeds up, making sharp, aimless turns around Picon's long, winding roads. She turns, grinning. "Lee, haven't you heard that a little adventure is good for you?"
Lee mutters, "Not when it's going to get us killed."
Kara's grin gets wider as she turns up the half-dead radio.
"You're insane. No, scratch that. You're beyond insane! Please remind me why I don't go on road trips with you again?"
Kara gives him one of her trademark smirks in response. "You know you love me."
Lee rolls his eyes.

Fooling Around, Kara/Lee, PG
(Written for Truth or Dare at no_takebacks for prompts "hot chocolate" (embolalia) and "a race" (rirenec).)
When they were growing up, the two Adama brothers would spend the winter holidays at their grandparent's house in Kavala. It became a tradition of sorts, to go up to the cabin each winter, even though Lee and Zak were no longer the little boys who laughed and skated on the large, iced-over lake.
This year, Zak decided to bring his girlfriend to the cabin with them. Kara. Lee agreed, not yet knowing what he was getting into.
The two of them connected quickly, though; quickly enough that Zak almost felt a little jealous. Almost. He loved both of them, and he was glad that they were getting along. He refused to think any more of it.
There had been a blizzard recently, and as a result, there was a fairly thick layer of snow coating the ground. Of course, Kara took advantage of this by dragging Lee and Zak outside and roping them into a snowball fight. After a while of being pelted by snow, Zak went inside to start making some hot chocolate for the three of them.
As he was putting the kettle on the stove, he heard an uncharacteristic squeal from outside. Looking out the window, he saw that Lee had poured a handful of the powdery snow down Kara's back in retaliation for the snowball she'd just thrown at him.
"Oh, you are so dead, Adama!" she threatened, picking up a large handful of snow and running after Lee, who was still laughing in the wake of his triumph. She managed to catch up to him and quickly returned the favor.
In response to the shocking cold of the snow on his skin, Lee stepped back, his foot slipping on the patch of ice he'd been standing on. He lost his balance, taking Kara down, on top of him, into the snow.
For a second, they just stared at each other, the tension that had remained just below the surface starting to rise and twist between them. The moment seemed to stretch out between the two of them and freeze at the same time, neither of them willing to speak for fear of breaking it.
Lee began to shift underneath Kara, and when he spoke, his voice was strained. "Um... I think.. I think Zak's done with the hot chocolate. We probably should..." he gestured toward the cabin. She nodded and stood up, her eyes glinting mischievously as she looked down at him.
"Last one back to the cabin..." he couldn't hear the rest of her sentence because she was already running off, back toward the cabin. Lee jumped up, starting to run after her again. "Kara! Kara, get back here-- that's not fair! Kara!"
She laughed and kept running. "You win some, you lose some, Lee!"
They laughed as they raced back to the cabin. Zak just rolled his eyes at the two of them. He was glad they were getting along.

Graphics!
(Made for the be_compromised Prompathon for ashen_key's prompt "you can be the sinner and I'll be the sin"; original size here.)
(Made for DPP: Back to Basics for pasted's prompt "seeing red"; original size here.)
(Textless version of mix cover made for twelvecolonies.)

Mix! Well, kind of. There are no download links, but if you really wanted to listen to it, all of the songs can be found on YouTube. The idea behind the mix was Lee, post-UB flashbacks, trying to let go of Kara until she comes back and they are drawn back into their old pattern of dancing around each other.
Made for twelvecolonies.

And lastly, this video:
which I assume everyone who cares has seen already. I might have possibly made the "LET'S STRETCH BITCHEEESS!" line into my new alarm tone. It's not quite as good as watching the video and seeing Renner's faces (because nothing can beat the faces he makes), but I crack up every time I hear it. Every time. And also? Motivation. But mostly entertainment. *g*
