Holocaust, Gaeta/Hoshi, scars, NC-17 falafel_musings October 18 2008, 15:06:09 UTC

Holocaust, Gaeta/Hoshi, scars, NC-17 Felix sits in the Admiral's chair, drinking the whisky that sits on his desk. He feels it burn in his throat. It tastes of rusty metal and decaying dreams. Felix gazes out of the window, into the cold black void, into the permanent night. Beneath its dark foreboding curtain lies the planet of ash, the garden of scars, their murdered promise land. The shuttles have yet to return from Earth's surface. Until they do Felix is Officer of the Watch. But there's nothing worth preserving here ( ... )

Whoah. That was... desperate and dark. It's probably the most disturbing place Felix could possibly go.

He likes that he might have found the one person on this ship who is more lonely, more desperate and more malleable than he is.

This line is interesting especially because this Felix sure doesn't have to worry about that problem anymore.

Thanks for reading. I don't really know where this came from. I guess I was trying to imagine Felix's reaction to wasteland Earth and how it could be the thing that tipped him over the edge into that disturbing place.

Hmn. That line should probably have been "than he WAS". Again, I've been thinking that with the Gaeta/Hoshi pairing that Hoshi could be a reminder of the way Felix used to be.

Is it bad that I kept cracking up that Gaeta was sitting in Adama's chair for this?

That said, I loved this. It was so dark and sad, but there's such a whisper of hope at the end. ::sighs:: Lovely!

Yes, feel free to giggle at Gaeta abandoning his usual respect and having his dick sucked in the Admirals chair. If you're gonna do something wrong - do it right!

Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!

OMG, this was amazing. I've just been going through the fics I missed in the slashathon and just, wow.

Gaeta is so dark here, perhaps the darkest and most hopeless I've ever seen him in a fic, actually. :) Pairing his black hole of a perspective with the innocence of Hoshi's was a brilliant stroke. It feels ten times darker and more tragic than the Gaius/Felix connection ever was, which immediately came to mind for me (so I especially liked that you had Felix imagining himself as Gaius towards the end).

The violent imagery throughout is really arresting and really helps to convey the dark place Felix is in. I especially liked all the imagery in the second to last paragraph, particularly this sentence:
His whole body might be a scar, tingling with the phantom pain of all that he has lost.

That line took my breath away. As did the last line. This is totally going in my memories.

Thanks mill! I think since AJs interview saying Gaeta is in a very dark place by the end of S4 I kinda want to prepare myself for the worst, you know? We never saw his reaction to Earth. It could tip him over the edge. I also wanted Hoshi to represent the innocent sap that Felix used to be, while Felix himself is transforming into a mixture of Gaius (using somebody for sex) and Tigh (drinking on duty), two people he hates.

Thanks for the feedback! I might consider taking this drabble and extending it in my own LJ sometime. I'd like to go all the way into Felix's darkness, even though it's so painful.
