Somewhere between extrapolation and AU and sheer invention. Who cares, right? PILOTS!

She calls him Apollo five times before his audio comm system shorts out, and his heart leaps every time. Despite the terseness of her voice. Despite the strictly official and by-the-book nature of her communications. Apollo isn't a name he's heard in a very long time, and the sound of it surges down and tingles in his hands where they grip the controls. He's flying.
They're flying.
He calls her Starbuck, but it doesn't really feel like Starbuck is on the other end of that vacuum. The Viper off his starboard wing is a careful, dull machine right up until the moment they engage a sneak patrol of Raiders; then and only then does he see Starbuck in the effortless whistle and jab of her, in the patterns described by her guns.
And then he takes a hit, which shakes him up but doesn't slow him down. It's only when he sees the flashing message on his control panel - Apollo. Are you frakking deaf? - that he realises that his comm system is gone

"Ha!" Kara crowed, throwing a bucket of water in Karl's face. "Done that one."
He spluttered his way through the deluge and wiped his eyes. "You have not."Have too. It was free practice, last month, and there were no instructors watching. Lee dared me to do it

Hee! This is fantastic. I especially loved this: Kara made an outraged noise and waded over to him. "Lying bastard," she said, and threw herself bodily on top of him. Lee had time to look panicked before they both went under the water, and Karl laughed as he retrieved the bobbing bucket.
Ok, here are some icons. I'm not feeling creative lately so I apologize in advance.

You should not make offers like that in front of me, because I will leap upon them. I love your icons. Drabble request?

I'd like to see Kara, Lee, and Helo swimming and flirting.
Or if you're tired of pilots (and if you are I'll cry), how about a crossover- Maeby on the set of BSG in her role as hot young producer?
