Stick Season - Noah Kahan

***

The first time I heard this lyric in this song I immediately thought of them so I wanted to make something related to it. This is also my first attempt at some sort of like aesthetic/moodboard for this pair, ignore the white lines lmao, I couldn't figure out how to get rid of them. I also apologize if the quality isn't the best.

But alas, I will never get over them. They deserved so much better.

What About Us? Kara/Lee

By Buffyanp

Throwback Time. Remember the era where fanvids were THE fandom medium? Somehow this song isn’t on Spotify and I may need this amended. It deserves a spot in my BSG Playlist!

sorry im late but（

[neopetcemetary]

the only thing that trumps Lee and Kara's love for eachother is their self hatred for themselves and I think that is poetic

#poetic and annoying as hell #otp: especially you #bsg #starpollo #mypost

[transpidergwen]

Looking through the comments on TV Time has made apparent why I seem to enjoy BSG more than those commenters and that simply that I like Baltar and Anders and don't think Starpollo was meant to be. Like wow I can't imagine. No wonder people hated the later seasons if that's how they were watching it 🤣. Explains why the finale was so divisive too like yeah fair enough it was definitely not written for those people, RIP.

Feedback Fest 2024

Since everything I've read for the past 1.5 years has been pilots, all 10 of the fics here are Kara/Lee from Battlestar Galactica. I'm only listing one fic per author, so be sure to check individual author pages if you liked their style.

(go here over on @transformativeworks for more info!)

1. In the Whole World by pennyante (M, ~80K, WIP)

Summary:

The Cylons aren't quite human, and the humans haven't quite forgiven them. Political stability is less certain than ever now that the war is over: Lee Adama finds himself up for re-election, where being defeated will mean a Gemenese theocracy puppeteered by Leoben Conoy. Meanwhile, Kara Thrace has nothing but questions about her death and destiny. The only answers available come in the form of the vision of a temple, and from her hybrid/comatose husband's cryptic ramblings about a sister artifact to the Arrow of Apollo.

There's violence in the air. Civil war looms. Can Lee and Kara save each other, and keep the fledgling colony whole?

Thoughts: The best season 4 fix-it, lives in my head rent free, rewired my brain, etc. Also I've read it, like, 3 times (and I cried).

2. We're Not Friends by ninety6tears (M, ~25K)

Summary:

When two soldiers in the middle of a war can't seem to like each other, baptism by fire is apparently the natural solution. (AU in which Kara never knew Zak and first meets Lee after the fall of the colonies.)

Thoughts: I love a different first meeting AU, and this one takes pilots on a fun rivals to lovers spin that works surprisingly well. They're still very unwell about each other, though, make no mistake.

3. Artemis Rising by clairza (M, ~11K)

Summary:

The next morning Lee makes a few phone calls, and when everything has been organized and his credit card has been used for the first time in three months, and he’s had the pleasure of telling his mother that no, he has plans this week, he tracks Kara down in the quad. 

She's lying on her stomach poking sticks upright in the grass. He sits down beside her, and he can see the tension in her shoulders.

“So,” he says casually, and he’s very proud of the way his voice doesn’t shake at all. “I hear the Aegean Peninsula is nice this time of year.”

“It probably is.”

“I’ve booked a unit.”

“Where are you going with this, Lee?” Thoughts: I have a huge soft spot for fluffy academy pilots and this fic absolutely delivers. Happy baby pilots go to the beach five stars no notes.

4. An Arranged Meeting by lark_ral (E, ~11K)

Summary: Even outside of wartime, you might be surprised by the pressures our service men and women are under. The most effective among them either have, or need a release valve. Thoughts: Lee and Kara are scene partners for years, then the Cylons come. Somehow less messy than the show, but still delicious.

5. Rota by leda13 (E, ~2K)

Summary: The days are arbitrary, in space. Bereft of the guide of a planet's rotation around the sun, they live in slices of time, stealing as many as they can. Thoughts: Emotional support curtain fic of pilots sneaking around.

6. Sufficient to the Day by rachelindeed (T, ~1.5K)

Summary: At the sound of Lee’s voice, she feels her stomach twist and drop. Reluctantly, she opens her eyes and sees him come to a stop an arm’s length away, settling one elbow onto the corner of the bleacher behind her. His jacket is unbuttoned, his hair mussed, jaw ghosted with stubble, and the frakking sun is rising behind him. The look on his face is casual and fond, but he breathes as if he’s been running. Thoughts: Mandatory UB morning after fix-it...sort of. I really like this one because all I wanted was for Lee to get to Kara first. Or for him to call her bluff. This fic is both. It's not a showdown on main street like I enjoy joking about, but it's quiet and it's them (so it's better!).

7. Contrecoup by Fahye (T, ~2.2K)

Summary:

Contrecoup (n): A concussion or shock produced by a blow or other injury, in a part or region opposite to that at which the blow is received, often causing rupture or disorganisation of the parts affected. (One story told right-way-up, the other told upside-down, but both in the same narrative.)

We begin at a single point in time. The present goes forwards. The past goes backwards.

The story is AU-within-canon and set after episode 1x11, "Colonial Day."

Thoughts: I can't say too much because I don't want to spoil the fic. So: a bit angsty, a lot sweet, with a side of Kara's amazing problem-solving skills.

8. Lee's Emo Coffeehouse by haycorn (M, ~2.9K)

Summary: Lee has a bar, and sometimes Kara makes his life more interesting. Thoughts: I love cute modern AUs in general, and I love them even more when there's pining involved. There's not nearly enough of this type of fic for pilots, either! Many thanks to the author for their service. Would read 100K of this 'verse.

9. Breathing Room by callmeonetrack (M, ~12K)

Summary: Kara and Lee adjust to their new, very separate lives on the Pegasus. Badly.

Thoughts: My favorite Pegasus fic! Being on the Pegasus sucks, but then Lee and Kara find each other and things get better. Chef's kiss, peak pilots.

10. And I Feel Fine by hazellazer (M, ~2.4K)

Summary:

“That was… that… why?”

Her hands stay firmly on his face, thumb brushing over his cheek. “I was just thinking—”

Cutting her off, he smirks. “You think?”

She swats at his arm, hard enough that it might actually bruise. “I thought you were dead, Lee.” Her gaze is harsh on his, voice rasping, before something softens. “And I should’ve done this the second I knew you weren’t.” Thoughts: Season 1, but Lee and Kara are together. It's nice, refreshing, and plain good.

More Starbuck and Apollo because they have taken over my brain.

Soooo... I've been watching Battlestar Galactica (2003) for a while and yesterday finally finished it. I love this fandom and want to be more involved so I'm wanting to find others in the fandom to connect over this show with. I'm not sure how alive the fandom still is since the show is more than 15 years old lol but I'd love to find some Battlestar Galactica friends.

Also, for if anyone in this fandom does end up seeing this, I let my thoughts run wild towards the beginning of Season 4/end of Season 3 as I had really thought Starbuck was a Cylon. So I started a fanfic AU where she is and it's already at 35k words. I'm having such a fun time writing it as Starbuck is my favorite character and writing her is so painful but fun, especially with her circumstances in this fic and dynamics she has with other characters, like Lee.

Also I ship Starpollo, so if there are any other Starpollo shippers out there please show yourselves to me, I'd love to talk about the pair and cry over them, etc. lol. I'd also love to rp them if anyone would be interested in that, I love rping ships I really love and I think this pair would be so interesting and fun to rp.

Tagged by @merelyafigment - thank you!

three ships: Oh gosh. Three??? Making decisions is not my forte xD Well currently it's Kassidas, no question. I'll go with Kassandra x Daphnae from Odyssey too. Been thinking about writing for that for a long time. And... Starpollo, because I've been thinking about rewatching BSG again (comfort show status). That's not a true romantic pairing though. I just find them both really interesting character studies. And their relationship is fascinating too, romantic or otherwise.

first ship: Hah! Probably Revanasi. KotOR shoutout. If Raphael Sbarge doesn't come back to play Carth in the remake I won't be able to do it. He's my favorite comfort voice of all time because of this character. Tried to name my kid after him. The partner wasn't having it xD

last song: Unshaken by D'Angelo.. This soundtrack has had its hooks in me all day, especially this song. Aaand I'm having thoughts on it, so you're stuck now... HA! I've never seen music used this way in any other game and it ROCKS. The sound... the lyrics (I mean come on - that bit about the pines and the well... in context?! Amazing.), and that RHYTHM... GAH. I'm a former equestrian and it's timed to a flawless lope... 3 beats... perfectly synced. I feel it in my entire body every time. It's body-memory. In my bones for life. And D'Angelo... so good! SO good!

last movie: I had to think really hard about this. It's been a looooong time. I think it was Fellowship of the Ring - brother's birthday. Family obsession.

currently reading: Witcher Series, VERY slowly. I suck at sticking with books these days. Too many other things going on. Andrzej's work is fantastic though. LOVE his version of the Beauty and the Beast. He tells the most wonderfully horrific stories.

currently watching: Nothing.... Lame, I know. I never have the time xD

currently consuming: This is very ambiguous. I'm going with media. Working on my first AC Valhalla playthrough at the moment. Great winter game in theory. Mixed feelings.

currently craving: Nothing. Going through a weird never hungry phase. Do not recommend.

I enjoy being tagged and hate pressuring people, so I'll throw a bunch out there and I'm serious when I say this is zero pressure xD I do love reading them though! @findusinaweek, @brasideios, @aeide, @justalittlerayofpitchblack, @dmisthios, @fikali

Saw you wanted bsg asks lol. So here’s a hot take: if Kara and Lee had kids, Saul and Ellen would be their beer uncle and vodka aunt

this is sooo true and Bill and Laura would be the grandparents who can’t stop spoiling the kids and giving them candy and gifts
