Sometimes It's the Destination, Too, PG-13

[kdbleu]

Decisions, explosion, PG
He thought it was going to be some great explosion. Shock and aw as they say. In the end Lee Adama packs up his flight suit, hangs up his dress blues and fades away from the fleet without even a fight with his father.

But he can’t stay away from the airfield, from watching the planes like he did as a kids. Memories of the moment he decided he was going to fly drawing him to place of peace he never knew when he was actually flying.

With a quiet smile Lee turns the ignition and goes for a drink.

The News, Cottle, PG
She’s numb. Numb from her tingling fingers up the arm that’s never going to be strong enough. No matter how much physical therapy. The words flow in and out her ears.

The only words that stick You won’t fly again. Ever.

Kara Thrace’s nothing if she isn’t Starbuck. It’s unfair.

Worse than that he’s sorry. He’s sorry? He’s sorry

Oh I love this melancholy and sad little story with the hope and love all thread through. So evocative and real. They have such power to heal each other. I think love The Destination best of all.

[kdbleu]

Thanks. It did turn out kind of sad but sweet and real. The Destination is probably my favorite too. Best use of prompt anyway. ;)

These are just lovely! I love the scope of this, packed into 500 words, and how happy they get to be :)

Re: Sometimes It's the Destination, Too, PG-13

[kdbleu]

Thank you. I was a bit surprised how full it turned out. I was sure there was going to be a big hole in it somewhere. :D

These are beautiful! You have told a full story in 500 words. I love the sadness that is there throughout the fic but also a sense of beginning. Wonderful job!

Re: Sometimes It's the Destination, Too, PG-13

[kdbleu]

Thank you. I love the idea of sweet, sad beginnings. Very Kara and Lee. :)

[cosetteferaud]

This is very lovely! I love the concept and the execution of this little story. It feels bittersweet and real.

[kdbleu]

Oh, thank you! I'm quite pleased with how this turned out. Glad you liked it. :)

I love your take on pilots not being, well, pilots any more (in one sense, lol). But my favourite thing about this is that you gave them a chance at a real relationship, even with Kara freaking out about not knowing how to be in one - that was my favourite drabble.

Re: Sometimes It's the Destination, Too, PG-13

[kdbleu]

Thank you, I'm glad that it worked as I wanted it too, and that you enjoyed it. :)

Aw these are lovely. I esp. like The Destination. Although--you went OUT OF ORDER! NO FAIR! Hee. ;)

Re: Sometimes It's the Destination, Too, PG-13

[kdbleu]

Thanks. I didn't mean to go out of order. I write down the last two flipped, and left the first two backwards so it looked more on purpose. hee.

[callmeonetrack]

Lol. I just tease because Evil!Mod was giving us a hard time in the questions yesterday when NE Star and I asked. :P

Re: Sometimes It's the Destination, Too, PG-13

[kdbleu]

This is why you have to post your bingos after Evil!Mod ;) goes to bed. lol
