Why this must be read:
Okay, okay, I might be just a tad biased since this was my commission for the help_haiti auction, but I think that this story really deserves a larger audience. It's a very honest (sometimes, brutally honest), but also a very touching tribute to Kara and Lee's relationship as it unfolds in canon.
The author doesn't sugarcoat it by shying away from the messy, less-than-perfect, totally frakked-up aspects of those two crazy kids: their betrayal of Zak; their shared grief; their mutual misunderstandings and ongoing arguments; their cheating on their spouses; and that weird "can't live with/can't live without" thing they've got going on.
However, the sparse and beautiful writing style also lets their tenuous connection and their moments of tenderness shine through. BYOT (bring your own tissue) and enjoy!
The second time he dreams of her, she's been dead so many days he has stopped counting and started grieving. In his dream, she's on Kobol, smiling at him through the rain. He wants to lick the drops of water from her lips, kiss her until the sun comes back and there is nothing left for the sky to cry over.
