Come Out to the Swap Meet!

[kag523.livejournal.com]

Thanks to everyone for their AWESOME participation in the comment!fic challenge yesterday.  It turned out FANTASTIC!  Go check it out if you haven’t yet. 
You can find it HERE

The deadline for Oscar voting is approaching.  (Midnight Friday the polls with close). 
VOTING CLOSED
(Thank you ddt73 for catching the issue with the poll.  You are able to change your votes now if you wish. )

So today I thought we’d share the love by bringing out all of our favourite fandom “pretty”. 

Please pull out your favorite manips or other images / vids / blends / banners you’d like to share, and post them.  Instead of just showing off, however, this time, it’s in the form of a game.

 

Here’s how you play.

1.  Choose an item to bring to the Swap Meet
2.  Post it, along with a PRICE in your comment. 

Here’s an example:
A Butch and Sundance poster which Naz has been bugging me to create for the last week...

The PRICE of this little gem, is either a 250 word drabble or three icons. 
*cough*  Heather... I really, REALLY like your tattooed Leoben, BTW... Did I mention this?

3.  The person who “picks up” the item, leaves the payment behind.

So if Naz paid for her poster with this lovely little fic (which I totally just stole from the DPP a few weeks ago)... Then she would take the poster AND put a price on her drabble.

*rolls eyes* On my way, SIR. Seriously Lee, I think my time is better spent here than listening to one of your riveting briefings.

PS No. I meant the god Apollo. There's nothing between us, remember?

I'm laughing on the inside. Unless you miss the brig, you'll get your ass in here right now, Captain.

PS Yes, I remember the nothing between us Kara. I love the nothing between us because you naked in my rack with nothing on is the reason I get up every morning. Love you. No takebacks.

You sure know how to sweet talk a girl sir. On my way.

PS No takebacks.

4.  And THEN, that item (the payment) also gets a price....
And so on, and so on, and so on...

The biggest thing to remember is that those people who would like to snag an item are required to leave something to share in return in the comment replies.  (Which of course can be snagged by someone else... )

5.  REQUESTS also welcome at today's Swap Meet!!! 

I know that a couple people have asked me for things... today is the day I pay up.  :>)



 Have fun Shipper Nation!

Oh, and btw, you've probably got an entire store of pretties, manips, short fics, etc. lying around, so my guess is that you'll have a hoard of stuff from everyone by the end of the day cuz you have all the juice to pay for them all.

Why do I feel like I'm playing Triad with Starbuck all of a sudden? ;-)

Well, since it looks like i'm gonna have to cough up something, here's a request for you: ahem ... Second Banana, please? First it's part of that little piece of nonsense I wrote above (yes, I'm trying to get out of paying and/or at least getting a discount. Hee). Second, you said you would. But, there HAS to be a banana there somewhere, k? Hee.

FOR SALE: THREE CUSTOM KARA/LEE ICONS (ANY SCENE)

[scifishipper.livejournal.com]

In return, one short porny fic with Kara on her knees. Ahem.

There you have it. Any takers?

Re: FOR SALE: THREE CUSTOM KARA/LEE ICONS (ANY SCENE)

[coffeesuperhero.livejournal.com]

I HOPE THIS IS ACCEPTABLE. :D

Lee's only got two words for her when he steps into their quarters after his shift. "Knees," he orders, slamming the hatch shut. "Now."

"Oooh, did somebody have a bad day?" Kara asks, but she's already out of bed and halfway to him.

"I'm gonna let that slide because I know you're pissed about being off rotation until that broken wrist of yours is healed," Lee tells her, glaring at her as he unbuttons his trousers, "but you give me any more shit right now, Kara, and I swear to the gods I'll have you over my knee so fast you'll think you jumped there."

"Yes, sir," she says, eyes wide, more than a little turned on as she slides down onto her knees in front of him. She loves it when he's like this, and maybe she should feel guilty about that, since for the most part he's only like this when he's had a really shitty day, but then again, every time this happens she gets to make that shitty day a whole frakking lot better, so if she doesn't feel guilty, it's probably because she's too busy tending to her enormous ego. Nobody gets Lee off like she does, and since they started this whole song and dance a few months back, that thought is every bit as thrilling for her as sitting in the cockpit of her Viper. Sometimes she gives him lip in public just to see that muscle in his jaw start to twitch, because she knows she'll be in for it later. He's been holding back since the frakking deck accident last week that earned her a busted wrist, though, and she's missed this so much that she makes an impatient noise while she waits for him to take his clothes off. Kara's got her good hand wrapped around his cock before his trousers even hit the floor, stroking slowly.

"Gods," he mutters, shuddering against her hand.

"I don't think I'm down here for a hand job," she says, grinning up at him.

"You'd better frakking believe it," he laughs, and then she's got her mouth around him and he's not laughing anymore, his whole vocabulary reduced to nothing more than her name.

It turns out that not only is Kara good at sucking him off, but it's also one of her new favorite things on her list of Things To Do To Lee Adama, because he may be the one ordering her around, but damn if it doesn't make her feel powerful to know that every little moan he makes is because she knows exactly what to do with her mouth, knows the right rhythm, the right pace, the right way to slide her tongue against the tip of his cock while her lips pull him closer and closer to the edge of desire.

When he reaches out and grabs a handful of her hair, she knows he's close, and she can't help but moan a little in anticipation.

"Kara," he groans, his hand on the back of her head pulling her toward him, pushing more of his cock into her mouth, and when she moans against him again, she can feel him let go, all of his frustration forgotten as he pushes against her and shouts her name. She swallows around him and pulls back with a smug, satisfied smile spreading across her swollen lips.

"How's that bad day now, sir?" she asks.

"What bad day?" Lee says, grinning.

Pride & Prejudice request

[rachelindeed.livejournal.com]

I would really love to have a manip of Kara and Lee in the Pride & Prejudice world to go along with "First Impressions." I love the image of the two of them leaning their foreheads together with the sunbeams streaming between them at the end of the 2005 movie, or there are also some lovely pics of the same moment that focus on her kissing his hand.

In return, I'd be happy to write a drabble or fic on any subject of your choosing. I'm really only comfortable writing in about the PG range, so I can't promise anything particularly hot, but I will definitely do my best to answer whatever prompt you might want to give! **hugs!**

Re: Pride & Prejudice request

[nazkey.livejournal.com]

Hey, I'm gonna jump in here and tell kag523 that if she cheats and uses the one that's already there, she'll have to write Rachel a fic.

In other words, Rachel needs (deserves) a new one ... as do we all ;-)

Hee.

For Rachel... :>)

FOR SALE: one Unfinished Business 562 word Ficlet PRICE: 3 Icons from links provided

So yes I have arrived really late to the party. (A really bad day ocurred) And I hope this is ok.

I have one angsty, Kara/Lee in the ring fic from Kara's POV but written in third person.

A thirty word teaser has been selected for pre-sale decision making follows

"She had wanted this. And the punches hurt, they really do. But, she doesn't think it is the zing of the leather gloves on her skin that hurts the most. "

For the price I have three screencaps taken from Frak That and three different episodes that I would love as Icons

1. http://www.frak-that.com/311/images/311_cap089.jpg - This is taken from "The Eye of Jupiter"

2. http://www.frak-that.com/309/images/309_cap685.jpg - Yup this comes from "Unfinished Business" and you may be sensing a theme here

3. http://www.frak-that.com/215/images/215_cap531.jpg If you guessed it was a theme around our duo kissing - yes I am busted this one is from "Scar"

I hope the pics are ok.

E$dited cause i didn't ask for what wanted in return d'oh!

You know you want them. *glee*

Re: RL Socks!

[kag523.livejournal.com]

How do I get these epic socks? :>D (Do you have prices on your website?)

[damao2010.livejournal.com]

OMG. You guys have been incredibly busy today. (How you were able to get any RL work done at the same time really amazes me, BTW. I really must learn to do that.LOL)

I enjoyed all your creative works, but , Karin, I have to say the pic with Kara and RDM was incredible and it made me laugh a lot. But the Pride and Prejudice pic just made my day. And so did the icons, Heather. WOW.

[scifishipper.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you liked them, bb. The Pride and Prejudice ones really made me squeeee!

[thegreenkitty.livejournal.com]

Okay, Karin is apparently at least slightly sadistic b/c she told me to post my "drabble to bloody RDM" in a new comment so all could see. Even though she knows good and well that I don't write fic. Anyhow, I have done my best to provide ample blood for the Kara/RDM pic. I've also tried to fix TABFAYW. So, if the fic isn't the best, please keep in mind that it was at least written for a worthy cause. /end disclaimer

Previously on Battlestar Galactica:

Galactica Corridor
Apollo: What are you saying?
Starbuck: If I leave Sam... Will you still leave Dee?
Apollo: My Gods, Kara. (He begins to tear up.) I mean... You know, how do I know that tomorrow you're not gonna pull another 180? I mean these are our frakking marriages we're talking about. It's not some stupid dogfight we can just kick our way out of.
Starbuck: Think about it, Lee. (She walks away.) That's what you're best at. (He nearly follows her.)
------
Lee follows Kara as she stalks off. He can’t help admit his marriage is a farce and suspects that the Thrace-Anders marriage is no better. He sighs but he’s wiser now about Kara and accepts the chance she’s given him.

Kara knows Lee is behind her but continues her brisk pace as she turns sharply down an adjacent corridor heading toward the storage supply rooms. As Lee takes the corner in stride, determined to do something for himself this time, Kara shakes her head slightly, her eyebrow raised, and flips back to face him.

“What are you doing, Lee? Not enough room to think in the Adama-Dualla quarters?”

Lee grimaces and Kara smirks, which seems to push Lee over the edge. He grabs her by the arm and pulls her into the nearest empty room, ignoring her attempt to shake free as he pushes her against the wall, piercing her with his glare.

“Starbuck. What the frak do you want?”

“Nothing.” Kara tries to shove past Lee but he has her pinned. She scowls and wills him to go away but he just stands there staring her down.

“What’s the matter, Captain? You think you’re the only one allowed to start a fight? Frak you, Kara. This isn’t a joke. These are our lives. Do you even get that?”

Kara’s jaw tightens. “Forget it, Major. We’re done. You made that clear.” She tries again to move past him without success. She sighs and tightly purses her lips giving Lee a glare that would push anyone else away.

Lee nods grimly. “Frak or fight, huh, Starbuck. Fight me until you can’t, right? Well, I’m done with it. I’m done fighting you, Kara. We either back up and you repeat the question you came here to ask me or we leave this room and that’s it. Your choice.”

Kara glances around, focusing on a spare bolt on the floor and mumbles, “you heard me the first time, Apollo.”

[thegreenkitty.livejournal.com]

Lee steps back and studies her. She amazingly doesn’t run for the door. He’s not sure whether she’s actually decided to stay or if she’s just concentrating so hard on the bolt to keep from punching him that she hasn’t fully assessed the room he just gave her to manuever. He decides that, with Kara, he should take whatever acquiescence he can get.

“Kara, I’ll stay. But you are staying too."

At that, Kara's head jerks up as Lee continues.

"And that godsdamn tattoo has to come off. It’s hideous.”

Kara doesn’t mean to give herself up, but she can’t help but snort when her serious Lee Adama moves from intimacy to a complaint about an apparently 'hideous' tattoo. “Apollo, you are one frakked up bastard.”

Lee is caught off guard, but appreciates the snort as movement toward more light-hearted discussion. “Excuse me? Kara Thrace, you have got to be kidding.”

"My tattoo? It bothers you that much?"

"Gods, Kara, it takes up your whole arm. It's gaudy."

Kara snorts again and Lee starts to wonder if she's trying to disrail the conversation. He waits, it's her move.

"Awww Lee, what happened to ‘this isn’t a joke. These are our lives’”, she taunts, as her lips start to move from grimace to smirk.

Lee blushes and runs his hand through his hair at that, letting out the breath he didn’t know he was holding. He can’t help but smile after hearing Starbuck say “our lives” as if she was actually acknowledging their connection.

"Oh, that's all still in effect, Kara. Now here's what’s going to happen…”

Kara opens her eyes wide, grins, and nods. “Don’t think too hard, Adama.”

“Don’t interrupt, Captain.”

“Oh, I’m so sorry, Major.”

She’s smiling in a way Lee hasn’t seen in a long time. It reminds him of a water fight, a dropped can of red paint, even a handshake or two, all of which seem so far from where they’re standing now. He remembers what it feels like to hope and has a passing thought of praying to gods in whom he doesn’t really believe. He sighs slightly as he steps in, halving the space between his body and Kara’s. He is Lee Adama, he’s not supposed to do the smart thing, but he usually does the right thing. He leans forward, cupping Kara’s chin in his hand, and kisses her.

Kara murmurs something that might sound like relief if it had come from someone else’s mouth. Lee notes it as Kara moves forward into him and dips her tongue into his mouth. He continues to kiss her as he pushes her back against the wall and starts to unbutton her uniform...

Second Banana Icon Price Paid!!!!

Daphne (Greek myth drabble, Sometimes A Great Notion)

[rachelindeed.livejournal.com]

Hi, K! Sorry it took me so long to write out my drabble in exchange for the gorgeous P & P image, but better late than never! :) It's a bit bleak, but hopefully still enjoyable. I've drawn details about the myth from Edith Hamilton's "Mythology."

Daphne

The god Apollo loved a huntress, the Scriptures said, who fled from him in terror. He gave chase – close, desperate chase – and Daphne screamed to feel his breath upon her neck. “Stop,” he pleaded, “Stop and know who I am.”

But she heeded no word and suffered no touch; trusted not to his love, though he – the god of truth –
declared it.

Before his eyes her bare white arms blurred under dappled shadows: new-grown leaves. Her feet, so fleet and sure, twisted to roots and burrowed deep. Her face, pale and defiant, lifted one last time beneath his sun and hardened into laurel, triumphantly devoured.

Alive and untouchable, the maid became a tree, and so escaped the heart of her divine.

Awestruck and anguished, Apollo grieved beneath her rustling limbs. Softly he whispered, “You are lost to me, my first – my one – beloved. Yet in the days to come, you shall retain your honor. Your leaves will crown my champions. Find, then, your glory in mine.”

Kara heard the story young and liked it. No one could outrun the gods forever, but there was something to be said for losing on your own terms. In a childhood of snapping twigs and slamming oak, she relished imagined flight and the rush of grass beneath her feet. In later years, when destiny and love pounded close on her heels, her instincts took over.

She should have stopped running while flesh and blood had still been hers to give.

But Earth had rooted her in its undiscovered soil, ripped her apart to nourish her, inhumanly remade. She felt its distant contours in her skin, in her pores, as if she’d never left. Blindly she ran, leading her race and her ever-trailing lover to this wasteland. Now her body – the body that had known him – is tinder, feeding its second fire. She sees her bones stacked like kindling, ashen and charred, and all by her own hand.

She wants his hands to catch her, now, but has forgotten how to reach for him.

Her limbs are long grown strange.
