DPP: Favorites
So I've been pretty absent from LJ for...wow, about 3 months now. In that time I've graduated college, moved cross-country, and been settling back into a job that I love and friends that I missed dearly. So (hopefully understandably) fandom has mostly fallen by the wayside. I haven't watched BSG or thought about pilots in pretty much this whole span of time. So for my first day driving the DPP train I'm asking you guys to help me get back in the swing of things by participating in an oldie but a goodie: sharing your favorites. Scenes, quotes, pics, fics, music videos...remind me and yourself why you fell in love and have stayed in love with pilots.
A few of mine are:
Fic:
Our Bodies, Ourselves --Bodyswap fic. Hilarious. Begging for a sequel as far as I'm concerned.
Something Pretty --I feel like Kara is more vulnerable here than she usually is on-screen, but I love this fic so very very much. Labeled in my favorites as "THE. HOTTEST. FIC. EVER."
The Private Softness of Her Skin --Pegasus. Wonky timelines. Adorableness.
Those Journeymen Divine --Kara and Lee as the world's most dysfunctional Cylons.
Possibility: Bright, Shiny Future --Oh god I love this one. Hella long but totally worth it. AU that begins the apocalypse with Kara as a hotshot pyramid star and Lee's newest nugget.
Easier Than This --Quietly hot, with tons of tension and dysfunction and adrenaline letdown.
I am related to my enemy --Lee/Kara/Zak, with Zak completely unaware of this fact. So twisted and wrong, I love it.
Stupid Thing Last Night --Links to all parts inside; starts with "Stupid Thing Last Night", then "STLN: Videotape Edition", then "STLN: The Rewind" (parts 1 & 2). God I've read this one so many times and it never gets old. Drunken outmaking during the Academy days has lasting consequences.
Untitled --Baracks!wank. Hilariously, awkwardly hot.
Laws of Gravity --Gorgeously-written piece that ties together all of Starbuck and Apollo's history, pre-mini. Seriously phenomenal, and completely spot-on characterization from beginning to in.
Vids:
--Kara-centric:
--Lee-centric:
(This was just posted recently. True story, I am absolutely OBSESSED with both the vid and the song.)
--Shippy:
Clearly, I have no self-control, and therefore couldn't limit myself to just a few. And that's even leaving out the obvious fics, like Smutstrav and Cave!Pilots. But re-reading and -watching these has been so much fun, I can't wait to hear yours!
