Kara/Lee fic recs: the mini

[thrace_adama]

After watching the mini Monday night for the shipper re-watch, I got the urge to go back and reread (for the millionth time, yes-your point? ;) ) some of the first great Kara/Lee fics I devoured found in the BSG fandom, and especially those set before or during the mini. Just to connect again with that rush of excitement I felt upon discovering

Pre-mini fics own my soul. Seriously. I have so much love for these stories… They were the first kind of K/L stories I read when I discovered fandom-land and made me fall harder for Kara and Lee… Maybe because they portray younger --and relatively angst-free-- versions of pilots with everything I love about them: the banter, the UST, the cuteness, the fun, the flying, the chemistry... Besides, I’m always been fascinated by all the different perspectives of the Zak + K/L attraction/guilt issue...

All the ones recced by you and Tara are wonderful, and here there are some more I love:

How Apollo Took On Dionysus, And Lost (or the futility of denying the obvious) by elzed

“Decline and Fall” is definitely one of my favorite pre-mini fics, but this one is great too: Academy!Pilots, drunk Lee and actual plot with porn. Delicious, funny and very, very hot :)

Angle of Descent by Daphnaea

"Because he’s inevitable. Because he’s Lee."I ADORE all Daphnaea stuff and this story is definitely one of my favourites. It captures in a beautiful and

Lovely, girl, thank you! I'm not sure I've read "Every Time My Heart Beats" (or at least not all of it, as it does sound familiar), but I adore the others for sure.

HEH I had some of those on my list but had to cut because my comment was too long!

HA! Now I know why you didn't include some of the ones I was reccing, being the pre-mini fic freak you are! ;). I will come back to rec some more sooner or later, but first I want to reread them (I am weird like that ;)).

Thank you, again. And the attraction/guilt combo is so frakking irresistible, dammit.

Great to have so many lovely fics recced here - even though I have read most of them,. I am getting a total kick out of rereading them.

Oh, PILOOOOOOOOOTS!

[cosetteferaud]

You are welcome, girl! You know, we love your stories! (and your smut, you are the best! ;)). Personally, I'm in love with "Decline and Fall" --I agree with Heather here, it is a classic!.

And I've read most of the fics recced here too, but now I'm rereading a bunch and... gah. So goooood...
