Incandescent - chapter four
Title: Incandescent - Part Four
Pairing: Adama/Roslin
Rating: R
Disclaimer: Not mine, never will be.
A/N: Written for the ever fabulous nixmom's birthday. Her prompt was a fic where we see how/when/ and why Laura falls for BBE Bill. Many thanks to redrockcan for all her encouragement and to bugsfic for her invaluable beta and support. The poem used in the heart of this chapter was written by Margaret Atwood; her words are her own, not mine.
Part Three is HERE
I would like to give you the silver
branch, the small white flower, the one
word that will protect you
from the grief at the center
of your dream, from the grief
at the center I would like to follow
you up the long stairway
again & become
the boat that would row you back
carefully, a flame
in two cupped hands
to where your body lies
beside me, and as you enter
it as easily as breathing in
I would like to be the air
that inhabits you for a moment
only. I would like to be that unnoticed
& that necessary.
