See, apparently writing binges work well for me?

I just...I don't even know with this. No idea where it came from. I think there was a prompt at one of the bsg_pornbattle rounds that brought this up and I'd always thought about it but never did it. Until now.

This is one of those ships where I feel like once you see it, you can't unsee it. I see them together, all the time, like it's naturally the way of things, which I think is the only reason I keep writing this pairing. It's not for anyone, it's for me, because it makes so much damn sense.

Just a sidenote: Saul and Kara have always been a bit alike to me. Some of the scenes that stick out with me involve them -- like their scene in the flashback in Unfinished Business, the two of them post-New Caprica, everything in the miniseries -- it all has me drawing parallels. And I don't think I've ever really had an outlet to say that until this.

I feel like I see them more clearly. I feel like this was my breakthrough, you know, like it's suddenly right in front of me. I kind of wish the show was still on so I would feel compelled to play more.

We need icons. Pronto. LOL.

Anyways, thank you so much! I'm so glad you liked this! As always, you are awesome!

It's totally a "can't unsee it" (in a good way) ship. Totally.

I kind of feel that way about sam/galen too but... I want to say at times that sam/ellen trumps that. I was wondering if that's who sam had at home. ;)

ITA with you about Saul and Kara.

Maybe we should ask Dayl if she'll make us some? lol.

I feel a draw to Sam/Galen but I can't tackle it for some reason. IDEK, I wish I could.

We should ask. Or beg. Whichever.

[crickets]

I feel like you can tackle anything.

I also wanted to say that I love that you just wrote these characters in the "future" (present?) because it gives another option for fic-writing scenarios. Not that it wasn't already there in terms of AU but this just worked out so nicely.

[slybrunette]

Fine. I don't have the motivation maybe? I don't know.

Yeah, I really wanted to say that there was other stories to be told with this, in the clearest terms I could so...all of this has happened before and all of it will happen again.

[gigglemonster]

all are just variations of the same icon lol but hopefully you like at least one :)

[slybrunette]

Oh dear god, what do you want in exchange for these? CAUSE OMFG GORGEOUS.

[gigglemonster]

Hahaha aww you don't have to give me anything in return :)
Just knowing that you like 'em is enough, thank you <33

[slybrunette]

Well I LOVE THEM. Switching out userpics as we speak.

[crickets]

Ohh pretty!
