BSG: Blood and Guts

[grey_sw]

Here's a short fic I wrote for BSG Pornbattle #3 -- it's not all that explicit, really, but I guess it counts as NC-17.

The prompt was: Gaeta/Cavil, prisoner of war, "you sure do frak a lot", smart ass, current, wires.

I've never given much thought to how Felix and Cavil interacted on New Caprica, but this is certainly a dark and interesting story. Are you going to delve more into the Cavils' antics on New Caprica?

heh, I never thought about it, either, which is why I decided to write this prompt! :) I suspect the Cavils and Felix got on each other's nerves a lot, because their sense of humor is practically the same, only in the opposite direction...

Eventually, maybe. I have part of a fic about a Cavil, Doral, and Simon on New Caprica, but it's been on the back burner for a while. BSG Big Bang ate my brain. :P

I think Cavil's snark got on everybody's nerves. You've got to hate a guy who would point out the pointlessness of this whole occupation and turn out to be right. I always figured Cavil would have been resentful of the Cylons finding humanity, thou - it'd seem that abandoning plans of replacing them would mean that they could finally be the perfect machines that they always ought to be, especially if they discovered a lifeless, barren Earth with no humanity to co-exist with.

Yeah, not enough was done with Doral and Simon in the series. As a side note, I'd be interested to see you handle Doral and Simon learning the truth about Earth and the Final Five (that the show left out for some reason).

I really enjoyed this, especially since I was in the mood for something dark and twisted. The bit at the end especially... nice with Cavil giving Gaeta the jamming frequencies... I love it. And I also love how you write Gaeta here- he's got that silent, enduring strength that isn't flashy, but characterizes him through the whole series.

Excellent stuff! :)

Thanks, I appreciate it. In a lot of ways, Gaeta is all about taking everything on himself so that nobody else has to; I tried to capture that here, because I didn't want this to be totally non-con (though the pornbattle folks seem to have thought so. :P)

To me, Gaeta knows what he's doing, here, and he's doing it for a reason. His entire resistance plotline is like that, I think.

I really like the darkness of this. I can see Gaeta deciding to use sex to get things he needed from the occupying Cylons. He just seemed willing to do what he needed to do to get them off New Caprica.

The pornbattle people thought it was non-con? I didn't see that at all, they're both using each other, Felix especially. He knows exactly what he's doing.

Yes, exactly. I tried to tell them that's the way I intended it, but the mods at the pornbattle didn't see it that way. Oh, well.

Thanks for your kind comments!
