Their relationship had always been more about closed doors and closed mouths than open displays of emotion. Everyone knew that; after all, scuttlebutt traveled faster around the ship than anything else, and Starbuck and Apollo were a hot topic.

Which is why the Dance came as such a surprise. Not the fighting-- that was perfectly normal for Lee and Kara-- but how much raw emotion came through with each harsh punch. That was nothing like them. The bystanders turned to each other, not sure whether to clap as they had for every other boxing match, or turn around and leave so as not to intrude upon such a clearly intimate moment any longer ( ... )

That last line is just perfect. No one should see what happens next. They've seen too much already. :)

Thank you so much! Glad you liked it!

Very hurty and lovely. Especially that ending. Thank you, Athena!

Re: The Dance, PG kl_shipper1 June 19 2012, 20:51:02 UTC

Thank you! And yes, Athena is quite helpful. :D

I love the last line. The whole thing is lovely and inciteful, but that last line just brought it home in a really simple, really personal way.

Thank you so much! I'm quite fond of that line myself, so I'm glad people are liking it too.

So wonderful. There were moments of that ep where I felt bad because it was so raw and they're both people who don't share their emotions. You've really captured that feeling here. Great job.

Like a taut rubber band finally being released, they all knew Starbuck and Apollo were bound to find their way back together again.

So true, this is them. Wonderful job.

Thank you so much, R! I quite liked that line myself, so I'm glad it worked for you too!
