Fight or Flight (and other remix-related things)
(Just realized I never posted this to my journal, so I'm fixing that issue now... a week and a half later. Oh well.)
Title: Fight or Flight
Author: kl_shipper1
Characters/Pairings: Kara/Lee
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 215
Disclaimer: BSG is not, and will never be mine. I am only playing around with a few characters with this piece of fiction, and no monetary gain is coming from it. It is merely a channel for creativity.
Author's Note: Written for Challenge 021 (Drabble Remix) over at the_applecart. Flight or Flight is a remix of the lovely drabble Grounded by sci_fi_shipper. Thank you, H, for the inspiration for this little ficlet!

As their breathing slows to a normal pace and the sweat cools on their bodies, Kara tries to keep her thoughts quiet, as they had been just minutes before. When Lee pulls his jacket around them and wraps his arm around her, it's the last straw. The doubt and fear come rushing back, bringing with them the ever-present need to run. She tenses, her mind screaming at her to get back to where it's safer. Back to Sam.
I can't do this. Need to get out of here. "I need to get back." She quickly separates herself from him and stands up, pulling on her clothes, afraid she'll lose any determination she has if she's near him.
Lee speaks from behind her. "Back to Anders." The words sting, as they were clearly meant to.
Kara steels herself. She's made her decision, now she has to live with it. "Just back."
"Yeah, right," he sneers. She takes a deep breath, closing her eyes. It's painful, but she knows whatever pain now is worth the future pain she'll spare him from by leaving. I can do this. Just walk away and be done with it.
Fully dressed once more, Kara starts walking, away from him, from them. Again.
His eyes bore into her back. She keeps walking.

In addition to my remix of sci_fi_shipper's drabble, 3 of my own drabbles were remixed in Challenge 021 and I seriously love what each of the new authors did with them! So thank you to wicked_sassy, embolalia, and taragel for writing such amazing remixes!
Here they are:
Pick-Up Lines (remix of Rest & Relaxation) by wicked_sassy
Permanent Remix (remix of Permanent) by embolalia
Takebacks (remix of Distance) by taragel
If you, by some chance, missed these, go read them pronto! It never ceases to amaze me how talented everyone is in BSG fandom!
