Shivers in the Darkness, Pt 1, PG13 word_vomity December 14 2011, 21:39:48 UTC

She shifts in the night, her body shuddering in the chilly Kobol air. She tries to burrow deeper into her flimsy blanket, but she's slept outdoors enough to know that there is no cure to a cold ground. Her shiver grabs Lee's attention. He's on watch for the next few hours and since the 'watch' so far had consisted of watching Kara sleep; he noticed immediately when she began tossing. He pulls his own blanket from his shoulders, eager as always to ease her discomfort. He catches himself before he reaches her though, hesitating, unsure whether the move would be met with derision or appreciation. He thinks back to her reaction to his confession to her earlier and doesn't think he can take her mocking again so soon. But he decides quickly just how little he cares when she shivers again and tries to curl even tighter into herself. It's too ingrained in him to protect her. She'd hate it if she knew just how deep the instinct lived inside him. He mind flashes to thoughts of his father and he feels a gnawing guilt that this is just another ( ... )

"I'm supposed to be on watch." He eventually whispers into her hair ( ... )

Oh! I really like that this moment led to her disclosing the events on Caprica. I always thought she'd want to tell him and this is the perfect opportunity. Awwww. I enjoyed it! <3

Re: Shivers in the Darkness, Pt 2, PG13 word_vomity December 15 2011, 13:24:51 UTC

I'm a sucker for them telling each other secrets so the thought of her sharing this info is pretty much the sweetest thing ever to me. :)

Thank you!

Oh, the image of Kara and Lee asleep next to Zak's grave because Kara can't leave Zak is just so heartbreaking. :(

But I love that Lee being there for Kara on Kobol allows her to open up even if it's hard. And Lee stays even if he doesn't want to hear. *happy sigh*

Re: Shivers in the Darkness, Pt 2, PG13 word_vomity December 15 2011, 13:27:57 UTC

I love the image of them grieving over his grave together and Lee never leaving her no what it does to him. It's totally what she needed back then. Thank you!

Re: Shivers in the Darkness, Pt 2, PG13 kdbleu December 15 2011, 16:44:20 UTC

and Lee never leaving her no what it does to him.

This is what really gets to me. The idea that it would hurt him so much to see her grieve Zak, anyone really, that way, but unable to make her go through that night alone.

Re: Shivers in the Darkness, Pt 2, PG13 word_vomity December 15 2011, 21:00:02 UTC

Exactly, I love that of everything in his life, she's the thing he can't control or walk away from.

Re: Shivers in the Darkness, Pt 2, PG13 kdbleu December 15 2011, 21:02:44 UTC

she's the thing he can't control or walk away from.

Which is why Kara's hard for Lee, he wants to be in control and he's eternally being pulled back to something, the one thing, he can't control.

Re: Shivers in the Darkness, Pt 2, PG13 word_vomity December 16 2011, 16:34:51 UTC

Yup. It's cute that he thinks he can even try to fight it. :)

I love pilots giving comfort to each other (and warming each other up), and you did this really nicely here. It seems like Kobol's a good place for supportive!pilots.

Nice job!

Re: Shivers in the Darkness, Pt 2, PG13 word_vomity December 15 2011, 13:29:05 UTC

For sure. Back on Kobol when anything was possible, supportive!pilots seem very appropriate. :)

Thank you!

*sigh* if only things had gone this way and Kara had opened up about Caprica. I love that nothing can shake Lee, he just wants to be there for her. Great job!

Re: Shivers in the Darkness, Pt 2, PG13 word_vomity December 15 2011, 13:37:12 UTC

If only... *sigh*

I love how nothing can shake him too. :)

Thank you!

He catches himself before he reaches her though, hesitating, unsure whether the move would be met with derision or appreciation.

i believe that he does this a lot during the series and it's so nice that this time he decides that he doesn't even care.

"Most of it, you're not gonna like."

that the understatement of the year.

great fic. it's a very nice, quiet, supportive moment.

Re: Shivers in the Darkness, Pt 2, PG13 word_vomity December 16 2011, 21:20:14 UTC

I think they probably both did a lot of the start/stop touches in the series too so that is why it was NOT going down that way here! Lol.

Lol, very much understatement of the year. Haha.

Thank you! *hugs you and your comment*
