This may be suffering from canonocity fail. I haven't rewatched this arc recently, nor have I written much K/L (yet).

"So, what is it you wanted to talk to me about?"

Adama eased himself onto the couch next to her and handed her a drink. "Can't we just talk? I miss how we used to just do that."

"Of course." She sipped her drink slowly, hoping he would speak first.

"It's been a while since I went over to Pegasus. How are things over there ( ... )

She smiled. "You're his dad. He wants to impress you."

This is so sweet. *happy sigh*

I also love Kara being nervous that Bill is going to find out about her and Lee (like she slip at any moment) while Bill seems characteristically oblivious. :)

Thanks. :) Glad you liked it!

Kara ran her tongue over her top lip. Well, I wasn't frakking the rest of them.

HEE! I don't know why but I wasn't expecting this and that was rather delightful.

Actually I also really like that Bill asks about Lee's prowess considering he was in the reserves. I always find it interesting that little nugget of knowledge.

Re: Meetings, T plaid_slytherin November 21 2011, 15:08:12 UTC

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed. :)

HA! I agree with Tara, this line was a total surprise and quiet delightful!

This scene very much feels like one of their conversations, similar to the first AoC one where they have a gentle heart-to-heart. I adore it when pilots talk about each other when one is not present, so this hits the spot! Thank you for writing for my first post! *squish*

Re: Meetings, T plaid_slytherin November 21 2011, 15:09:18 UTC

Thanks! I'm so glad you liked it and that it was reminiscent of AoC - that's what I was going for. So happy when you get what I was going for with new characters!

I feel like Kara thinks Lee isn't doing so hot as Commander which is fascinating. I think she really pushes him to be his best because she believes he *can* do it, not because she believes he can't.

It makes a lot of sense that Bill would ask Kara about Lee here. He needs him to do well but he might not want to go through totally official channels. Plus he knows Kara knows Lee well. This was just a really enjoyable and thought provoking fic.

Re: Meetings, T plaid_slytherin November 21 2011, 15:12:14 UTC

Thanks! I will admit I'm still feeling Kara out, so it's possible I did something wrong. :) I'm glad you liked it, though.

Re: Meetings, T innibis November 21 2011, 14:21:58 UTC

This is an interesting take on what Kara and Adama might be thinking about Lee when he was CO.

Small point of order(and you can ignore me if you want to); Lee being reserve doesn't matter. The active reserves serve in the exact same capacity and in the exact same places as active. The vast majority of officers, if not all of them, are commissioned into the active reserve, even out of the service academies. At least that was my experience.

Re: Meetings, T plaid_slytherin November 21 2011, 15:13:16 UTC

Ooh, thank you. I will file that information for next time. I always love seeing what I can do better. :)

Re: Meetings, T innibis November 21 2011, 16:41:40 UTC

Oh good, I never know if I should mention things like that or if it will unintentionally hurt someone's feelings. I just know that I like to know. :)

I hope that Kara and Bill do include Lee in their next chat. Just to see if Papadama remains blind to his son and pseudo-daughter hooking up.

Re: Meetings, T word_vomity November 21 2011, 16:58:24 UTC

This feels really honest and right and true to both of them. Him pushing and her hedging but giving enough to keep him in the know. It's so interesting how easily they interact compared to him and Lee. Good work!

Re: Meetings, T plaid_slytherin November 21 2011, 19:53:42 UTC

Thank you! I'm glad it worked for you. :)

Re: Meetings, T embolalia November 21 2011, 22:16:34 UTC

Adama smiled. "Have you ever met an XO that didn't bug the crap out of you?"

She smirked. "No, sir, I don't think so."

Hee! This is my favorite bit. Forget Lee, you've got Adama and Kara's relationship down perfectly :)

Re: Meetings, T plaid_slytherin November 22 2011, 02:28:15 UTC

Aww, thank you! I had fun writing them. :)
