Battlefield cross

Aug 27, 2010 08:00

For ar_drabbles challenge #24, alternative universes. bsg_aussiegirl specifically said "pre-attacks, no attacks, no cancer, no President, no Commander." Well...

( An oncology ward is a battlefield, and there are definite hierarchies of command. )

That was REALLY fast. Who said you couldn't write a/u?

Is it really really bad of me that I burst out laughing when I read these lines? "I'm here with my son. Stage II brain cancer." Lord, forgive me, but it's Frak's fault. She wrote it.

I didn't say I couldn't, I said I don't. But you challenged. I obeyed.

I think I'd be offended if you hadn't laughed. I wrote it just for you.

It sure explains a lot about Lee's behavior, doesn't it?

I'm going to burn in Hades. I laughed too. It would have been more canon-tastic to use Zac, but our evil nature makes it so.

Zac having cancer would have been tragic. Lee having brain cancer is funny.

Evil FTW!

Ineresting start, now where is the rest ;) Kidding.

Lee would always be a child Indeed, it would certainly explain alot of things, lol.

Searider Falcon as a conversation (relationship) starter is such a good idea, this book in any universe holds a special place for them.

I got 'em to meet. You want more, write it!

Honesty, I hadn't thought much beyond "It's not Lee's fault. He's a sick, sick boy."

Love your fics. Come for the A/R love, stay for the Lee bashing!

To him, Lee would always be a child.
To you Bill - and the rest of the worlds.

Come for the A/R love, stay for the Lee bashing!

You have no idea how tempted I am to steal that line as the slogan for my LJ...

mascaret August 27 2010, 12:27:59 UTC

LOL. If you want it, go for it.

frakcancer August 27 2010, 12:41:22 UTC

Now I just have to think of a good A/R bashing Leemo scene to cap for the graphic...

sln1 August 27 2010, 18:11:36 UTC

Even in this unfamiliar reality these characters are recognisable and engaging and the scene itself is utterly convincing with beautifully judged and emotive dialogue.

Wonderful work from you as always. I love it. Thank you.

frakcancer August 28 2010, 19:20:03 UTC

these characters are recognisable and engaging

Thank you! That's the highest praise an A/U can ask for.

"A book of short stories might be more appropriate. People tend to come and go. Mainly go."

OMG. This line is right up there with the most haunting things you've written. (Here, at least.)

BUT! You gave Lee cancer! Of the brain!!! And that is both very, very funny and very, very sick. So it's like your story is pH-balanced, or something like that. :-D

frakcancer August 28 2010, 19:18:38 UTC

Oh, come on, admit it. Brain cancer would explain so much about Lee, wouldn't it?

And certain things about A/R have to remain consistent across universes. They care. They love books. And Lee Adama is a tool,l but they both want the best for him, anyway.
