I loved that part about Zak curling up with her too. To me, it's sort of like he doesn't need to know why she's there or how it happened (regarding both the night before and the rest of her life), he'll just accept whatever it is, take her as he can, be happy to just exist in the same space as her. Sam is kind of the same way, while someone like Lee would be dragging her up into bed and waking her to find out what happened and giving her that push (whether she wants/needs it or not).
I can see Zak/Kara's relationship so many ways (especially after reading that whole thread in N_T today) and I could probably write five more fics where things go differently for them, whether it's just that their relationship isn't so serious or Kara doesn't let herself fall into it like she does here or maybe Zak's just not as good a guy as he was in this one. I'm so loyal to L/K shipping, but I really just wanted to write this one with the idea that I'd see the two of them in the best light.
Thank you so much for reading and commenting! It means a lot since I am such a huge fan of your story.
Yeah, I mean, that seems right--about Zak's acceptance of Kara. Zak wasn't ever gonna punch her in the face when she frakked Gaius Baltar. He's was gonna look at her with wounded eyes, and sigh, and open his arms.
Thinking about this is interesting, because you realize something about Lee. Zak's in awe of her, a little, I think, without being at all *afraid* of her. But Lee is absolutely terrified by her, and on that point, this story lines up with canon as we know it as well as my head!canon--Zak's not afraid, and Sam's also not. Lee's applecart, so to speak, may just be more precarious and hence Kara's more of a threat to it? Hmmmm...
I'm well-underway to becoming a huge fan of your fic as well! So we're in good company.
