Chapter Ten

Lee stumbled wearily into the pilots’ bunkroom, and was relieved to find it empty.  He’d just flown his first CAP as a fully-fledged pilot, and it had been more tiring than he expected, particularly following on from a long maintenance shift.  All he wanted was some quiet and a chance to sleep.  He sat down on the edge of his bunk

Oh this is so great! We get to see Kara/Lee pilot pranks, but not in the pre-series flashback kind of way--very creative and thoroughly entertaining: You didn’t need them. I thought you did a great job demonstrating how to perform a Picon Arc through actions alone

Yay for pilot banter!

I liked your Adama so much better than the current on-screen one! [I love that he's willing to turn a blind eye to Zak and Kara--poor Zak definitely needs someone rooting for him right now.] That is until he kicked Lee out. Frakkin Adama and his intolerance for others. Grrrrr.

And I love the call-back to Lee's season 1 idealism and his propensity for rebellion/anarchism. I feel like we're seeing a glimmer of that again on screen with his current resignation, but it is particularly interesting in this fic because you have the added layer of conflict in having a military brother who is equally rule-bound and obligated but much more readily obedient.

Glad you enjoyed the pilot pranks, it's nice to write something light-hearted for the two of them. I thought it was characteristic that they'd get to know each other by trying to get one up on the other.

Yeah, I'm fairly pissed-off with on-screen Adama as well at the moment. He is such a bad parent it makes me despair sometimes. I think the problem is that he just can't accept that Lee is fundamentally a very different person to himself and so is not always going to act in ways Adama approves. No, he wants a clone of himself. *sigh*

And I love the call-back to Lee's season 1 idealism and his propensity for rebellion/anarchism. Well, that's one of the aspects of Lee that made him my favourite character - I just loved Bastille Day and the whole mutiny thing, and I'm so happy they've gone back to that on the show, because it always causes interesting conflict - because choosing principles over people as Lee tends to do involves a huge personal cost

Lee as a nugget is wonderful. I love the banter between him and Kara. Also, the blow up between Lee and Adama really worked for this. They are too similar to get along for any length of time. Poor Zak to be caught in the middle of it all.
