[astreamofstars]

Ficlet written for an episode prompt over at laura_lee_bsg. Just because it's, like, wordz. And I feel I must celebrate wordz at the moment in the hope it will encourage new wordz to emerge, so I'm putting this here for posterity.

Characters: Laura, Billy, Lee (mentioned)
Rating: PG
Word count: c. 800

I think Laura at this point in the series would simply be overwhelmed, by everything that was going on and everything she was being asked to do and to be. And she'd get through it by narrowing her focus down to literally taking one step at a time, focusing just on the idea of keeping everyone together until they get through it. But I think she'd still have these little crisis moments of "what the hell am I doing here?" - she'd just have them very quietly and privately and in such a way that no one would realise she was having them, because she wouldn't want to make anyone feel that she was less than confident and strong in case it made them panic.

I could see her getting attached to Lee pretty easily at this point in time. He's the representation of everything that she's fighting for. And it would be a liability for her, but I think if it happened, she would be caught falling for him at a much more vulnerable moment than she was with Bill, and I think she'd find it much harder to stop.

Wow, that was longwinded! Sorry! Just to say thank you! ♥
