Shivers in the Darkness, Pt 1, PG13 word_vomity December 14 2011, 21:39:48 UTC

She shifts in the night, her body shuddering in the chilly Kobol air. She tries to burrow deeper into her flimsy blanket, but she's slept outdoors enough to know that there is no cure to a cold ground. Her shiver grabs Lee's attention. He's on watch for the next few hours and since the 'watch' so far had consisted of watching Kara sleep; he noticed immediately when she began tossing. He pulls his own blanket from his shoulders, eager as always to ease her discomfort. He catches himself before he reaches her though, hesitating, unsure whether the move would be met with derision or appreciation. He thinks back to her reaction to his confession to her earlier and doesn't think he can take her mocking again so soon. But he decides quickly just how little he cares when she shivers again and tries to curl even tighter into herself. It's too ingrained in him to protect her. She'd hate it if she knew just how deep the instinct lived inside him. He mind flashes to thoughts of his father and he feels a gnawing guilt that this is just another ( ... )

Ohhhh, this is lovely. Being each other's physical and emotional warmth, Lee caring for her, Kara managing to trust Lee and really open up... No takebacks, indeed.

Thank you! I love when she lets her guard down for him. ONLY FOR HIM! Lol.

Such a great comfort fic. Thank God the military issued them flimsy blankets!

Haha exactly! Or maybe they gave their good ones to the President because they are nice. Haha.

Thank you. It's a bit schmoopy but I like it anyways. :)

"No takebacks, right?" She asks in a timid breath.

This is so perfect, all of Kara's teasing turned back around as insecurity, which of course he protects her from, too. Lovely!

Exactly! All the bluster is so very much fear. And he totally knows it. *sigh*

I really like the images of Kara & Lee asleep next to Zak's grave and again on Kobol both of which led to release some pain. I'm glad Kara told him abou Caprica, she needed to in canon as well. Well done!

Thank you! I like that they allow themselves to come together when one of them REALLY needs it like here. :)
