no_takebacksHi Kara/Lee shippers! I'm ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sci_fi_shipper, aka Heather, and I will be driving the DPP train this week. For my first post, I'm going all the way to the very end.
Imagine the poof never happened. Nor did something else...
Kara leaned against a tree watching the two men walk together, father and son, arms linked, strolling alongside the sparkling river. The planet was beautiful, everything that Laura had said it would be, all that Kara had hoped it could be. As she watched them come towards her, she felt at peace, calm in the knowledge that she had fulfilled her destiny; she’d jumped to the right coordinates, she’d led them to their end.
Something had shifted inside her that day when the blue and white planet had come into view. No longer was she the disconnected harbinger of death, experiencing life on the fringes, watching, participating, but never fully living. Now, she felt like her old self, alive, vibrant, ready to leave her destiny behind and to begin her own journey on her own terms.
Lee smiled as he walked towards her, face bright and young and fresh with hope. With his eyes on Kara, he squeezed his father’s arm and the two men parted ways. Adama smiled sadly at Kara before he turned to leave and she knew why: Laura did not have long. She’d played her part in their journey – the dying leader whose final step was about to be taken.
As they watched the older man walk away, Kara reached out for Lee's hand. They began to walk along the river, strolling quietly for a while before Kara spoke, “So, what were you and the old man talking about?”
Lee glanced over at her and smiled. “I was telling dad about the plans to start fresh on this new planet. A decision to leave it all behind - the ships, the technology, the weapons. To try not to make the same mistakes we did before. We’re going to take a vote – put it to the people. Let them decide what kind of future to have.”
Kara stopped walking. Their arms stretched out, fingers still linked until Lee faced her with a curious expression.
“You’re doing what?” she asked, incredulous.
“We’re thinking of sending the technology into the sun. We don’t need it. We can start over, leave it all behind. Start with a clean slate.” He smiled at her, proud of his idea.
“Lee,” she said, closing the gap between them to plant a brief kiss on his lips. “That is the stupidest idea I have ever heard.”
Now what? What does their life look like? How do you imagine they would contribute to the new society? What would their lives look like on a daily basis? Would they be leaders or have a supporting role? What special expertise would they offer to the new society? Would they go off into the mountains or help build their new life with the others.
And, of course, what would they do together now that they have the time, the freedom, and the safety, with no restrictions, to simply be together. Kara and Lee on Earth. What say you?
ETA: Now with "Foreman Kara" and Lee building their very own dream home. Hee. ;)
ETA: NOW WITH COMIC BOOK KARA AND LEE! WOOO HOOO!!!!!!!!

Date: 2010-11-08 06:28 pm (UTC)1. Yay, H, you're driving the DPP train this week? I can't wait to see what you have in store for us. *twirls ya*
2. THIS: He smiled at her, proud of his idea.
“Lee,” she said, closing the gap between them to plant a brief kiss on his lips. “That is the stupidest idea I have ever heard.”
3. Buhbai special destiny, welcome back our Kara!!
4. To answer your question, of course they would serve their time as Admiral Thrace and President Adama. B/c they've earned it. I agree with Tara though: after a few years they get to go explore, relax, fight/frak/love in peace. B/c they've earned that too.

Date: 2010-11-08 06:58 pm (UTC)I think she'd want to get her hands dirty and they'd all be thrilled to settle down and make a community - but I think she'd still like to fly and see the stars once in a while. And what, no litter viper-pilot-wanna-be kids? Nah. Roughing it ain't all it's cracked up to be. ;)

Date: 2010-11-08 08:17 pm (UTC)Heh, I thought about mentioning kids but I'm kinda ambivalent about pilots!children. Depends on how well it's written I suppose.
Speaking of getting their hands dirty (in a completely vanilla way...hmph, I just felt an Erin on my shoulder suggesting naughtiness), someone needs to write Kara/Lee build a house crack!fic. ;)

Ahem, neither would Lee IMO, but I digress.
LEE WAS CONCUSSED IN THE FINAL BATTLE IT IS THE ONLY EXPLANATION FOR THAT FRAKKERY

Date: 2010-11-08 08:21 pm (UTC)"Don't over think it, Lee."
"Kara, you've gotta make plans - it's a house. You want it to fall down on our heads in the middle of the night?"
"Don't worry, baby, I'd rescue you." And then there would be kissing.
Hee. ADORABLE HOUSE BUILDING PILOTS!!!!!!!!!!!

Date: 2010-11-08 08:24 pm (UTC)The thing is they would lose alot of their tech as it broke down and they lacked the supplies and the people to fix it. However by saving it they could have keep a certain level of technology, and could have turned things around alot faster. In the rush to demonize technology they forget how many people would needlessly die due to the lack of it. The poof was for pure shock, and because they didn't have a clue what she was. Leave it vague and let us fill the blanks.
My vision would be them be leaders of the new civilization. With Roslin dead and I would think Adama at least retired, they would need to fill the roles of military and government leadership. Course the military's only real responsibility would be to protect people from the wildlife and native people. I see Lee and Kara starting over taking it slow and eventually getting married and have some kids. At the time of the finale Dee is not even long dead yet, and Sam has just died, so rushing things would be foolish and with their present circumstances no rush.
Also I think after doing so many things wrong, they want to take their time and do things right.

Date: 2010-11-08 08:28 pm (UTC)"I don't think that goes there," Lee says, as he watches Kara trying to fit a large bundle of brush onto the roof of their makeshift shelter.
Kara snickers and nearly drops her roofing materials. "That's what she said," she says, laughing so loudly that far across the field, Helo and Sharon turn to see what's going on. "Wait 'til I come down there, Prez, I'll give you a tutorial on what goes where."
"I'm pretty sure I've got it figured it out," Lee mumbles, turning away to hide the blush spreading over his face.

Date: 2010-11-08 08:45 pm (UTC)As for the equipment, I believe they have a mining ship and I'm guessing some way to fabricate new items - at least from metal. And as a battlestar, I'd guess there are some small metalworking machinery. Since the are no longer at war with the cylons, they could reasonably search for ore throughout the galaxy if they wanted to. I'd imagine that the joining cylons could also use some of their technological innovations to maintain equipment, too, or to create living machinery like the basestars and raiders? (Or did the cylons give all of their ships to the centurions?)
At a minimum, I think they could easily maintain much of their simpler equipment for many generations, although the computers and highly technical items might fail sooner than later.
