BSG Fic: "Back to Earth" (1/8)

[trovia]

Watch me! I'm bearing fic!

Title: Back to Earth (1/8)
Pairings: Helo/Gaeta, eventually Helo/Sharon. Can be read with the occasional Gaeta/Baltar undertones if you're so inclined.
Genre: It's a gen story overall but with some slash and het b-plot. So it's kind of a gen hybrid. Decide for yourself if that's to your liking.
Rating: PG-13 for some sex

Great first chapter. I like the premise a lot and am looking forward to seeing where you take it.

Nicely described overall, with Gaeta's internal thoughts and frustrations being especially good.

[trovia]

Thanks! Glad you like it! I know where I want to go with it, I just have to find the time to write it.

[mamaboolj]

I hear you on the time to write. I write very little fanfiction to begin with and hardly any lately because I'm so frakking busy with life and work.

I've been excited since you mentioned this. Long, plotty, heavy on the Gaeta and Helo, and okay a little bit of angsty slash. Love it, and can't wait for more! :)

[trovia]

It's definitly plotty. I wouldn't have a clue how to write without lots of plot. Thanks! :)

This is really excellent.

I actually had considered something like this a year or so ago, obviously not post season four ;) - and this is a really nice twist on Gaeta's position. Definately write more please.:)

[trovia]

Heh. Some of your fic did strike me as the kind of thing I'd write, too. I actually had a look at some of your grammatical choices in Going Native to see how it's done properly. :)

I'll definetly write more, I'll just have to find the time to do so. Got the admission for my graduation this morning, so...

I'm really intrigued about where you are going with this series! I love the comparison to jumping the fleet away from New Caprica, only this time it's B-Team on watch. I just love B-Team hero stories so I can't wait for more. You write Gaeta brilliantly. I really like his bond with Helo so I look forward to seeing you explore it (with slash!).

He just had to hope that Adama would actually survive and get an opportunity to dress him down.

Love this line. It's such a humble sincere thought.

[trovia]

Thanks! B-Team stories are always fun (and in this case, it's also nice to have characters where I don't have to worry so much about getting their voices right...).

I'm afraid Felix doesn't really believe in having a bond with Helo right now, though...

Wow, this is awesome. It was so gripping, so well written, so tense throughout the final half. The first several paragraphs were just perfection

[trovia]

Yaih! Long, wonderful comment! Thanks :).

Strangely, I didn't even notice the similarity to New Caprica before I actually wrote that line. I was too busy throwing everybody I didn't like or need off the ship. :D

I hope things get better for him after all this. :P

First they get worse. Then... well, then, there'll be some more chapters and we'll see. :D

[millari]

First they get worse. Then... well, then, there'll be some more chapters and we'll see.

Gods, other than out-and-out torture by the Cylons, my apparently limited imagination fails to see how it could possibly get much worse for Felix. :(

Oh my boy, how we love to torture him so....

Seriously though, you give him such a quiet dignity here, even when he totally deserves to fall into a giant puddle of self-pity.

[trovia]

LOL. It's a bit more subtle than Cylon torture. I was rather thinking in terms of anger management issues.

Well he *is* a nice target for torture. I mostly enjoy about fanfic that I can wade through the mud and untangle the messes of the really damagend characters.

Heh, your last comment is great because I was trying to tone down the self-pity very hard.
