Cross-posting this here from tumblr, because it's 1600 words long and I Think I Kinda Nailed It, but looking at it in tiny tumblr font is making me go blind.
*hug* Thanks! Didn't mean to randomly plop down a bunch of BSG text about Sam being great but it just happened and I thought I should save it for posterity, heh.
Surprise!OTPs are the best! And this essay is the best! Oh, be still my heart, I love this tribute to Sam/Kara. You absolutely get them on the nose.
I love that he follows her into her world.
So true, and even though it's not like they had any choice, I just think Sam was so brave and amazing to do this, enter Kara's world and try to find his place in it. And he doesn't always exactly succeed - I mean, he finds his place in the BSG world, but his place in Kara's world is much less certain than his place by her side was, when they were on Caprica. But he keeps trying because he is SAM.
how much he does know about her.
Such a good point. I actually had forgotten how much that surprised me at the time, how he seemed to know everything about her past. I just accepted it as "well, they're married," and I think the writers maybe saw it that way too? But actually it was a really big deal that Kara opened up so much to him. Considering what a giant ball of secrets she usually is, even from those closest to her. Sigghhhh. But how could she

Oh I've been going gif-crazy lately. I have a tag for all my Baltar/Six gifs so you can find the new ones anytime! :) It's various Sixes (and some HeadBaltar) but there's definitely a few Gaius/Caprica ones in the mix.

I am not as into K/S as you are, but I definitely prefer them to K/L. (I just don't really get K/L, on an emotional level at least...)
