Daily Pilots Post: The Favorite Meme

[cosetteferaud]

Hello fellow shippers! My name is Cosette and I will be your DPP host for this week. My fabulous predecessors have done a wonderful job over these past weeks, and I hope to keep the fun going! :D

We have already discussed our favorite moments, scenes, fics, vids… And I don’t know about all of you, but personally, when it comes to K/L related stuff

Warning: My answers are pretty Kara-focused. I've been missing her lately so that's how these go today. Ask on a different day and I would have totally different answers. There are too many favorites for Kara and Lee. :-)

1. Favorite Kara/Lee scene. Raptor outmaking. I wrote about it here and my feelings about that scene haven't changed one bit. :-D

2. Favorite Kara moment. Favorite?! Wow. This isn't my favorite, favorite moment. I know others will disagree but I love the moment when the painting turns into the basestar and Kara laughs. I felt it was the first time I had seen even a glimpse of the real Kara in . . . months. It made my heart happy. She was in there somewhere and she was happy and right for a moment. It makes me misty now but at the time I really was glad to see my girl, even briefly. I love to hear her laugh.

3. Favorite Lee moment. Back to Eye of Jupiter. When he flips out on Sam. He's all sweaty and angry and he has loved Kara longer than you! How dare you! Gosh, folks I tell you I got shivers. I thought Lee might say more. I hoped Lee might say more. And both men are so . . . sweaty. And gosh, Lee just loves her so much it's like ready to spill out of him, he's so worried.

4. Favorite Kara/lee pic. This pic is a promo pic but I like it because Kara looks so vulnerable in it. It reminds me of when she asked Lee if he'd leave Dee if she left Sam. It's rare to catch Kara like this but I think her love for him is pretty obvious too, she just reins it in a lot. I wonder what she was saying to him here.

5. Favorite fic. Again, favorite?! That's like impossible to choose. But I will choose Never Be Warm Again by stars_like_dust and bantha_fodder. This was one of the very first Kara/Lee fics I read in 2005. I printed it out! Hee. It has stood the test of time too. It's fic like this that brought me to LJ and here I remain. :-)

6. Favorite Kara/Lee song. I'm liking Landslide by Fleetwood Mac these days for them. It reminds me of part 3 of my story, Circuit, where I gave Kara and Lee a long, happy life complete with grandchildren. I so feel they are beyond the series now. When I think about Kara and Lee, just so many years have gone by and they are still together. Somewhere.

7. Favorite K/L vid. This is a tough one as I haven't been watching K/L vids lately since someday I'd like to make my own. (Don't wait for it, it will be a long while.) Hmm. Today I wanted to link to Fear by Lilith but the link is sadly gone. :-( I wanted to rec a vid that maybe people haven't seen and I haven't recced in a while. Hmm. So instead I'll rec Chocolate (for dl only) by jessicaj703 And Kissin' You by Latteaddict. Sorry, Jen it's two but I lost my first choice! And K/L kisses!

Oo! Landslide! The uncertainty.

I love this one for K/L especially because of the subtext of Stevie and Lindsey and their failed romance. That live performance video has just a hint of piloty eye frak, or at the very least stolen glances and attempts to not hold eye contact.

[daybreak777]

Wow! I didn't know about Stevie and Lindsey's romance! Or maybe I did subconsciously. ;-) I wish I could find the extended version of this when they thank each other after the song. Aww. This live one is my favorite version of this song. I love the little guitar part at 2:10 - 2:12 and also at the end when she says, 'the snoooooooow covered hiiills'. Hee! Love it. :-)

Same here :). But I already knew that your fave K/L moment what the raptor scene. Definitely one of my faves too.

I am still pondering about my Kara favorite moment (that's why I skipped the question, heh). So though. I really loved the one you mention, I was so happy to see her smiling again.

The pic! hehe. That is definitely one of my all time faves. Oh, the UST!

Can you believe that I don't know if I've read "Never Be Warm Again"? *g* I can't remember which was my first K/L fic (I guess something by daphnaea or leda13, and I was impressed), I read so many in a matter of days! (yup, I was totally obsessed).

"Landslide" is lovely. Part 3 of Circuit always was my fave :)

[daybreak777]

Everyone knows that's my favorite scene. :-) Hee! It still is. :-)

I can't wait to hear your favorite Kara moment!

You've never read it? Well, that makes me glad I recced one of my old faves. After five years of reading K/L fic (a good new one this very morning) I firmly believe you can never ever read all the fic out there on them. There are always old ones you've missed or new ones being created right now somewhere. Pilots!fic keeps going and this is a good, good thing. :-)

I'm glad you liked Landslide. And I reread your comments to Circuit yesterday. Comments like those make me want to write another K/L story! Hee!

ETA: And I didn't realize you were driving the DPP train this week. Eeep! (I haven't quite realized I'm in another week yet!)

I am not sure if I haven't read it --I'll have to check out later, because I am pretty sure I've read all Claira's fic!

That's true. And even though some good authors stopped writing K/L a while ago, right now there are really talented writers creating new stories and keeping the torch burning. I love it.

And I reread your comments to Circuit yesterday. Comments like those make me want to write another K/L story! Hee!

Aw, you know I love writing epic comments (when I have time, that is ;P). And how much I'd love to see more DB's K/L fic? Very much ;)

[shah_of_blah]

I know others will disagree but I love the moment when the painting turns into the basestar and Kara laughs.
I love that moment so much! Definitely one of my favorites in season 4.

[daybreak777]

:-) Isn't her laughing one of the bestest things? Aww. For one moment we had hope it was all for something.

Gotta love Kara. And yay, others like that moment toooooo!

[thegreenkitty]

Heh, I never would have thought of that Lee moment, but you're right, it's a great one. Lee is usually so composed; I just loved his schoolyardish "I've loved her longer than you" comment! :D
