Title Notes: While trying to determine a title, the word détente kept running through my head. According to Dictionary.com, détente is described as follows:
1. A relaxing or easing, as of tension between rivals.
2. A policy toward a rival nation or bloc characterized by increased diplomatic, commercial, and cultural contact and a desire to reduce tensions, as through negotiation or talks.
This story is quite probably the opposite of détente, but I was unable to find an actual antonym that sounded appropriate. But it just wouldn't go away, and I'm not one to fight my muses…
Author’s Notes: Written for liz_estrada for the Starbuck round over at getyourtoaster on LiveJournal. Her requests were as follows:
prompt 1
character you want paired with Starbuck: Admiral Cain
up to three things you want to see in the story: divided loyalties, bribery
up to two things you don't want to see in the story: non-con, bondage
preferred rating: whatevah you want
prompt 2
character you want paired with Starbuck: D'Anna Biers
up to three things you want to see in the story: boxing, busted lip, Cylon strength
up to two things you don't want to see in the story: nada. go crazy.
preferred rating: PG-13+
prompt 3
character you want paired with Starbuck: GalacticaBoomer
up to three things you want to see in the story: Drunk Kara, guilty Sharon, maybe a near confession of Boom's early Cylon suspicions
up to two things you don't want to see in the story: nada. go crazy.
preferred rating: PG-13+
This was actually a set of prompts that I thought long and hard about. I'd thought at one point to try the Starbuck/Galactica!Boomer, based on the Sara Bettens song "Not Insane." But it just never got off the ground. Maybe one day it'll get written.
But hopefully, my recipient will like what I've done with this piece. It was certainly a different look into Kara "Starbuck" Thrace's personality and thought processes. I don't think I've written the word frak [or it's variations] as much as I have in this particular story.
Dedication: To my muses, because they never seem to wander off completely…
