BSG fic - Picking up the Pieces 5 / 12

[suffolkgirl]

Chapter Five

Kara spent her first week on Pegasus doing exactly what Lee had asked.  She kept her head down, stayed away from him as much as possible, and conducted herself professionally at all times.

Her reports were presented on time, she never spoke out of turn at meetings.  There were no reports of arguments with pilots or the deck crew.

Well, I suppose what I'm trying to sell is the two of them being able to get over their issues and their quarrel and get back together. And that requires that Lee soften towards her and be able to forgive her at some point. Him being able to do that is important later on.

If you're worried he's giving in too easily (which you might in the next chapter), bear with me. It's not going to be that simple. In a way he does forgive her, but in a way he doesn't...if that makes any sense!

Yes, he probably shouldn't forgive Kara, should stay well away from her, but he loves her and people in love aren't that sensible.

But hey, this fic is not going to work for everyone, I knew that when I wrote it!

Oh yes, write something! I'll happily read a 'Lee tells Kara where to go' story :)

I understand why Kara did what she did on New Caprica, but that doesn't stop me from being incredibly angry with her on Lee's behalf. I don't like it when Lee suffers!

Where is this recap of Jacob's at TWoP? I'd like to read it too.

I hope the writers aren't just doing this to please fans or get attention. If they don't come up with some sort of psychological reason for it on Lee's part, I'm going to be pissed. More than I am already, I mean. Because it is a little sick. It's not going to work, and I think they should show that it's not going to work.

You can read the recap here.
I like Jacob's BSG recaps, though his Doctor Who ones get so metaphorical they're unreadable.

I can understand Lee saying he missed her. Because she said it first, and in the heat of the moment it could slip out. But I agree that it's not going to work between them if they just slip back into being friends/lovers/whatever without him calling her on what she did, and her making some kind of apology, and if that happens it had better all fall apart!

Not that I want them to fall apart - I want Lee and Kara to do some mature talking and sort out their relationship, but judging by series 3 so far, I doubt that's going to happen!
