Man. Maaaan. This was pairing wankery at it's best. I love you for writing Athena/Boomer and Boomer/Roslin just because I totally see it happening especially after I've just watched the eleventh episode.

They are all actually tied together by the most unusual bonds. That of mother to child, mother to mother (oddly enough!) and there's this matter of "communing" that you've brought up, especially through touch.

Come to think of it, the Cylons do that a lot. They have to physically touch the base ship through that weird liquid stuff; the hybrid is physically 'touching'/is the base-ship; Three, Baltar and Caprica do a lot of touching, too, as part of some weird trinity.

Thanks so much for sharing! :) Love the Map immensely.

if I were really brave, I would have written Athena/Roslin. I totally want that confrontation, whether in canon or fanon, but I chickened out of tackling it myself. yeah, the whole thing where the Sharons are talking to each other is delicious!

haptic is the theorywank adjective for the sense of touch, and its one of the things about the portrayal of the cylons this season that I love the most. between that and the lesbian moms there's just this giant nexus of metaphorically charged girlsex to work with!

(p.s. hey, given your bibliographic difficulties, I though you might find this community that I recently ran across useful: article_request)

Oh wow. I can see this. Lovely

[projectcyborg]

thank you!

You always write so pretty, like I'm looking in on someone else's dream.

And I really love how sensuous the cylons are, and how they need to touch and feel as a way of understanding and connecting.

that's a beautiful compliment, thank you. obviously I'm really digging this convergence of sex and data transmission (which I don't think is so far from canon).

Oh my.

I forgot to come back and read this until now, and well... oh my.

What a very interesting take on things, and, sadly, far too hot and slashy for it to be where they take it in the show. ;-)

thanks! we'll just have to keep writing slash while we wait for TPTB to wise up to the fact that ALL TV is better with lesbians bisexuals.
