Title Notes: While coming up with the title of this story, I realized that both characters really are dealing with their convictions with complete impunity. And then I looked up both words to verify I was correct. Per the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary, I got the following definitions:
Main Entry: con•vic•tion
Function: noun
1 : the act or process of convicting of a crime especially in a court of law
2 a : the act of convincing a person of error or of compelling the admission of a truth b : the state of being convinced of error or compelled to admit the truth
3 a : a strong persuasion or belief b : the state of being convinced
synonym see CERTAINTY, OPINION
Main Entry: im•pu•ni•ty
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle French or Latin; Middle French impunité, from Latin impunitat-, impunitas, from impune without punishment, from in- + poena punishment -- more at PAIN
: exemption or freedom from punishment, harm, or loss
Each made complete sense to me for both women in this story, hence the title.
Challenge Notes: So this was written for frogfrizz for the getyourtoaster holiday round. Her requests were as follows:
request 1
pairing: D'anna/Six
rating: HOT...or as hot as you can make it
squicks: none
prompt: plans for humanity
request 2
pairing: Ellen/Roslin
rating: as high as you're comfortable with
squicks: none
prompt: the cylon occupation on New Caprica
request 3
pairing: Dee/Kara
rating: as high as you're comfy with
squicks: no hate sex or character bashing
prompt: officers, pilots, and command with god...
Author’s Notes: I was actually quite thrilled to find out I got frogfrizz to write for. As I looked over these three requests, I immediately began to get ideas for all 3 prompts, which filled my head with ideas of really wowing her with multiple stories. Unfortunately, health, the holidays, and somewhat recalcitrant muses forestalled that idea. Tho' I'm planning on getting the other two ideas written yet, provided my muses cooperate.
What I really liked about this particular prompt that I worked with is that it allowed me to work with Ellen Tigh, who I vacillated back and forth over liking or not throughout her run in the show. As I started this, I planned on Dom!Laura sexing Ellen to get her to do this assignment, but that didn't work out. Instead, I got a really nice character piece that helped me to "redeem" Ellen Tigh, at least in my own mind.
I truly hope frogfrizz likes this….
Beta: Many, many thanks to freifraufischer and lextenou for the beta assistance. It is greatly appreciated, ladies!
Dedication: frogfrizz, for giving me a chance to see a different side of Ellen Tigh. And to my muses, as usual…
