Rusty muse warms up with inconsequential fic. Nothing to see here. Move along. ;) scifishipper November 19 2011, 19:50:32 UTC
She's not quite sure where they go from here. Lee's leaving to command Pegasus and their paths are diverging once again. He seems happy about it, although it's hard to tell because rank doesn't mean that much to him. She still thinks he resents the privileges of his father's name, just like he did at the Academy, but this is war and she might even agree that he's the best person for the job.

Somehow it had been easier to leave Galactica to command the air group on Pegasus than it is now to watch Lee pack his things to go. She's used to being the one to leave, to getting the hell out of the fire when it gets too hot. Now the thing that was between them, the bullet she fired from her gun, is scarred over and doesn't seem to matter like it used to.

In Garners's last moments, it had felt like old times, him in command, her in her viper, working as a team to save the Fleet. It was better, she thinks, than trying to work out whatever it is they are when they don't have pips and rank between them.

Now, though, he's leaving, and some impulse pushes her to make sure. Death comes quickly and she doesn't want another Adama regret in her gut.

When he pulls her into a hug, forgiveness and closeness snap in place so sharply that she can't breathe. She feels his breath against her neck and her fingers clutch his jacket. Warmth and arousal seep into her bones and she remembers why it's easier that he's leaving.

When Dee comes to the hatch, she steps back, their bubble broken.

Definitely easier.

I've written a few more than a 1000 words this morning. I'm quite certain they boarder on crap, but I have written them down and saved them. :)

Sometimes you just need to write and get the machinery working again. Can be so difficult. I haven't written anything except this little fic in thirteen days. The muse needs to be greased almost daily. She's a pain in my ass. *nods*

So true. Actually I think this is better than the piece I wrote while you were in France that I don't even want to show anyone. hee.

This is gorgeous and almost as heart-warming (and also heartachey) as The Scene itself. Bravo!
