Stories you just have to read!

Kara Thrace (Starbuck)

Parasite [location: livejournal]
author: 3jane
rating: FRAO
summary: Kara has reproductive. Issues.
why: Because it's Kara all fucked up. Spoilers for 'The Farm'

Bill Adama/Laura Roslin

Firearms [location: livejournal]
author: kimbari
rating: FRM
summary: none given “I need to practice everything you showed me tonight,” she said. “I need you to show it to me again and again.”
why: Because it's guns and sex. Staring Bill and Laura. There is not enough fic about Bill and Laura together having sex. There should be.

Prose [location: livejournal]
author: familyarchives
rating: FRT [can there really be anything less for this fandom?]
summary: He almost wishes this were a book and that when they're finished, he could open it to read and live all again.
why: Because it's Mom and Dad and it's heartbreaking.

Kara Thrace/Lee Adama (Starbuck/Apollo)

[[i die just trying]] to keep myself from kissing you [location: livejournal]
author: anythingbutgrey
rating: FRT
summary: He wants to skirt fingers across skin and feel a shiver like someone snapping out of the cold.
why: This is a lovely and slightly ansty piece with spoilers up to Home pt. 1. It's all from Lee's Pov, and we all know what a little emo angst-boy he can be!

33 Minutes [location: livejournal]
author: cupidsbow
rating: FRAO
summary: A break in routine during the end of the world.
why: A nice little fic set during the episode '33'. It all takes place during the breaks between the Cylon attacks before Kara takes the stims. It's all from her POV and just screams 'Starbuck' to me.

A Garden Enclosed [location: livejournal]
author: meyerlemon
rating: FRM
summary: “Don’t stop,” Kara says, and Lee, who is all out of resistance, does not.
why: It's sex, but a lot of emotion, mostly angst.

Angle of Descent [location: livejournal]
author: daphnaea
rating: FRM
summary: She thinks that if they were ever married, they’d have a throwing pots and pans, waking up the neighbors kind of life. Then a wave of guilt pulls her under. She expunges the word ‘married’ from her mental vocabulary.
why: It's them all fucked up, though it does end... happily?

Digging a Hole (Nothing Romantic About the Hours We Keep) [location: livejournal]
author: bantha_fodder
rating: FRM
summary: none given "Okay," she says, "but when nobody hears my cries for help over the comm, and I die a tragic space death, I'll know who to blame."
why: Because it's Lee cheating... I love it when he's a bastard.

Easier Than This [location: livejournal]
author: leda13
rating: FRM
summary: I tried to climb your steps / I tried to chase you down / I tried to see how low I could get down to the ground / I tried to earn my way / I tried to tame this mind / You better believe that I tried to beat this
why: It's set after Home pt2 and it's full of pilot UST. While it cuts off right before you get to the resolving of said sexual tension, it's still perfect.

In the Sight of the Gods [location: livejournal]
author: wisteria_
rating: FRM
summary: Scenes from a marriage.
why: Not only do I love the way it portrayed their marriage as far from perfect and very rocky, yet still working for them most of the time. I also really liked how it represented Kara and Lee's views on the possibilities of them having children.

Intra [location: livejournal]
author: svilleficrecs
rating: FRAO
summary: Her body is more complicated when she's near him.
why: Because it's not all angsty and fucked up... well it is, but only in the past.

Seven, Like Dante's [location: livejournal]
author: leda13
rating: FRAO
summary: "Sometimes," he says, the sound of his voice so totally unlike him that he wonders if he's someone else and didn't know it, "I wonder how my brother could ever have loved you."
why: Lee. Kara. Angst. Sex. Really, I'm getting predictable with this.

Something Pretty [location: livejournal]
author: svilleficrecs
rating: FRM
summary: Lee's under deadline, Starbuck's being a brat, and the fate of the human race hangs in the balance.
why: Kara. Lee. [light]Angst. [sorta]Sex. Did you see that one... you get it. It hits at least one of my kinks. I always love that.

The Private Softness of Her Skin [location: livejournal]
author: wisteria_
rating: FRM
summary: "Something huge is going to happen soon. He knows this. He picks up his carryall, follows Starbuck over to the status desk, and waits for it to come."
why: Spoilers for mid-Pegasus. It's written out of chronological order [insert technical term here] and it's just perfect. Shockingly, I love it even though I'm not really seeing angst.

Weigh This Moment [location: livejournal]
author: stars_like_dust
rating: FRT
summary: He can still feel her skin underneath his fingers.
why: Lee. Kara. Angst. Just a ficlet that shows how much she's his weakness.

Kara Thrace (Starbuck)/Leoben

Belief [location: livejournal]
author: makesmewannadie
rating: FRM
summary: Kara is lost. Leoben finds her.
why: Because 'Flesh and Blood' was moving, and that interrogation scene was both disturbing and hot.
