[Pre-Milliways: A new mission on the horizon.]

It's the last night they'll be able to spend together for two months.

From the looks on their faces as they survey the bar, Gaeta and Hoshi -- while expecting that night to be spent at Milliways -- weren't expecting to be set in an atmosphere quite like...well, this."Um," ventures Gaeta after a ( Read more... )

[Pre-Milliways: Gifts given, for another reason.]It isn't anywhere close to Solstice season on the other side of the door, but Gaeta's had a good day regardless. He's dressed down far more than usual -- instead of his duty blues, he wears a gray zip-up sweatshirt thrown over his tanks and BDU pants -- and has curled up near the fire with a loosely ( Read more... )

The last couple of weeks have...been a little rough. Dee's successfully on the mend and returned to duty a while ago, but it was a close brush; closer than anyone would like, and even now, Gaeta finds that he's still harboring dangerously dark thoughts toward Michael Robert that make him glad the doctor's no longer on GalacticaAnd then ( Read more... )
