Retro Thursday: Spackle Fic

[larsfarm77]

The term 'spackle fic' can loosely be defined as a story that fixes a bothersome plot hole or gap in canon.

A/R spackle fic prompts might look like:

What happened after the dance on Colonial Day?

Why, 20 years past his divorce, did Bill Adama continue to wear his wedding ring? In the comments, post a Bill, Laura or A/R plot hole from canon

If Bill got together with Laura earlier in the series, why would he still wear his wedding ring?

Here's a great fic that answers this (MA rated for sexual content):

Decoy by tjonesy

"Madame President."

"Admiral."

What happened after Roslin helped Adama down from the boxing ring in UB?

One of my favorites is coffeesuperhero's lovely Listen, I Just Don't Care.

I adored this fic the first time I read it. Thank you so much allowing me to re-discover it. It was just as amazing.

[defyingnormalcy]

Oh that was AWESOME, thanks for the rec!

How did Laura tell Bill about her cancer the second time?

[ladygj]

Ohhh! I'm currently working on a fic that addresses this! :) Won't be up today, but hopefully soon enough!

[larsfarm77]

Awesome, can't wait to read it!

Just wanted to say I really love your icon :)

How did Bill Adama first meet Doc Cottle?

What were the "cancer conversations" like? (Both times)

[larsfarm77]

Here is an older fic that deals with the second cancer reveal. It's beautifully understated.

A Moment of Silence by SVR.

That was lovely. Thank you.
