the boys we love loving the boys we love... and stuff...

I'm a chronic multi-shipper so it's honestly hard for me to talk about my favorite Battlestar Galactica slash pairings and bsg rps pairings without mentioning my favorite het pairings as well. But I will try to restrain myself. (No promises with threesomes, though

[gigglemonster]

Agree 150%! lol
Sam/Chief! Awww Sam/Duck!
SAM! hahah
i love all of these pairings so so much :)

[crickets]

But why Dayln, why?

There are no pairings here you disagree with? Don't forget to tell everybody about your Anders/Tigh obsession! ( Which I may or may have not just made up entirely. *wink* )

[gigglemonster]

There's no why lol they're just all so pretty!
Ohhhhh Anders/Tigh yum! ;)

[crickets]

Could you elaborate on yum? Ficlet? Illustration? Fanvid?

[meresy]

Mmmm, Leoben/Sam. And the OT3 forever! *eg* Seriously, there's not enough fic for either of these. I expect some post 4x10 now, kthx. :D

I can totally get behind (*snerk*) endorsing Sam/whoever, really.

[crickets]

Sam/Leoben/Kara really works for me on so many levels. I have seen Sam/Lee/Kara done before but it just doesn't have the same... resonance? Hahaha. (This is very deep stuff we're talking about here!)

I can totally get behind (*snerk*) endorsing Sam/whoever, really. - AMEN sister. But that's another question. Does he bottom or top? I know a lot of people have a static kind of idea, but I tend to alternate. Mostly top but with Leoben? I'm thinking he totally bottoms. Thoughts?

[meresy]

Especially now, it does. zabira and I were theorizing a little bit in my last BSG post. I think they could all steady each other quite a bit, now -- Sam needs some insight on being a cylon, Kara still needs to sort our her destiny, and Leoben has to deal with all his work coming to what appears to be nothing. Angsty!sex ahoy!

I tend to like my slash switchy. Authors are free to convince me,. However, in the case of Sam and Leoben, I think Leoben's likely to top first. Plus, I don't think the "final five" thing holds a lot of awe for Leoben, not feeling so close to God, so I think he gains the upper hand, so to speak, by knowing precisely what he is, whereas Sam is probably still a little lost and would take his cues -- provided it was a non-aggressive sort of thing. Of course, Leoben would probably do anything to make a point. I don't think either of them are set in stone -- few people are.

[crickets]

I *cough* agree with you... so to speak.

;)

What you're saying totally makes sense and I think those are kind of my reasonings as well but I didn't really know how to verbalize that. But you've definitely hit on something here.

And now I want to read sam/leoben fic RIGHT NOW. Hahaha. I think there was some on the newsletter I didn't get a change to read.

*goes to search*

This is really more of a question than a pairing. I've been kicking around this idea of a 'Gaius does the Galactica' sort of series, where I'd need to find me a het writer and just do all the slash myself, because Gaius just amuses me and he strikes me as someone who would totally do that. Anyway. I'm wondering if they could have any previous knowledge of each other, met at a cocktail party or something seeing as they were both famous people on Caprica? I don't know. I'm just trying to find a way to fit them in without them seeming to share any screen time. Well, besides the theory of Gaius being cylon-sexual

[crickets]

Hmm I could totally see Anders and Baltar meeting pre-series somehow. I have to admit, the "Gaius does the Galactica" is pretty damn hilarious. Funny thing, he's not that many characters away from achieving it! Hahaha.

Re: Leoben & Sam. They actually do have a past history. He mentions interrogating a Leoben model when Kara and Helo first meet them. So there's definitely some past history there. And I have to totally agree with this: I think they'd have a nice mix, roughness and intensity, but under other circumstances could be sort of sweet. Wholeheartedly so! If I could somehow find a way around my writer's block, I would totally be writing this pairing right this second Hehehe.

I just can't imagine them being quite as hot in practice. → I kind of agree here. I've been stuck on a Sam/Lee fic for... well forever, and I haven't been able to get around... all the crap I need to get around. They're stubborn that way

[blue_crow]

I totally agree with you on the canon thing. Its so much less fun to play with things that are out on the table. Gaius and Felix are an exception for me because I imagine there's so much that's just unsaid between them, especially if Gaeta does have this secret dom thing. Its a little more dynamic than just plain old hero worship.

I really need to start writing for this show. I have a perfect setup for a Lee/Romo fic that'd just be perfect and I've been honing my Gaius in roleplay. I've never had a character that was so unapologetic for his actions, and so self-centered.. he's just fun.

I need to do more research on Anders and Leoben, both. I have to admit when I was watching the whole thing more for Gaius and Gaeta... but I should watch the show again for Anders and Leoben.

[crickets]

You definitely should start writing this show, especially with all these great thoughts in your head already about it!

I have quite a few exceptions that are canon, Kara/Leoben being a major one! (Pay no attention to the het behind the curtain!)

I'd be very interested in seeing what you have in mind for Lee and Romo! And you may get a chance here! We're going to be doing a no frills, no commitments, stress-free promptathon/comment!fic-a-thon here in a few weeks! Keep your eyes peeled!

[i_want_2]

For my underdog pairing, it would have to be Gaeta/Jammer. Two souls caught in a place they can't escape do to their own blind optimism.

Strangely kinky, Leoben/Gaeta. Gaeta's ability to be prophetic, useful, strategically placed, and quietly homicidal make him very interesting a cylon known for messing with people's heads.

And the main one, because everyone has to have their OTP, Gaeta/Lee. Lee fell in love with a CIC officer, just not Dualla.

[crickets]

I remember you did a really awesome job with a Gaeta/Jammer fic in the first challenge. It's such an unlikely pairing, but I think it really works in that universe.

Wow I have never thought of Leoben/Gaeta. I will have to think about that. During New Caprica maybe?

[i_want_2]

Thank you. It works in any universe, if you have the right ideas.

Leoben/Gaeta can happen any time. Recent episodes even, as loathe as I am to call that crap canon. They did a shitty job outing the final four, and have dropped shit bombs on us ever since.

[crickets]

I just meant this: Two souls caught in a place they can't escape do to their own blind optimism. That universe.

Really? I'm shocked. I've loved season four so far.

[workswithwords]

You forgot Adama/Tigh....

HAHAHAHHAHA

sorry, I just can't slash them, but lol I thought there scenes in the last couple of eps were super slashy...lol

[crickets]

Awwww, you know you want to write it! They are in so much love it makes Adama literally sick!
