Remember the Time . . .
Nov. 14th, 2010 08:32 am
I have completely loved the DPP this week - you shippers are gloriously creative and fun and enthusiastic. Thank you so much for the squeeeee!
Today, we're going to push ourselves out into the future - Kara and Lee's future, that is. Remember that scenario from Monday? Well that's still in play: there was no poof and the technology had been saved. You shippers wrote lots of lovely K/L fic, made some amazing crack and gave us some though-provoking meta on how the technology might be preserved and integrated with cylon tech. To re-familiarize yourself go here.
Imagine Kara and Lee on Earth - FIVE, TEN OR FIFTEEN YEARS LATER. Write or show a snippet from their lives. Anything could have happened to them, to the society, to Earth itself. Show me their lives at one or each of these milestones.
SHIPPER NATION LOVES KARA AND LEE AND WE DON'T FRAKKING CARE WHO KNOWS!
Salt isn't just for tears
Date: 2010-11-15 03:38 am (UTC)They could smell the change in the air before they arrived, and when they cleared past the brush, the whole group stopped by the end and stared.
Three years they'd been on Earth, and this was the first time they'd seen the ocean.
The sparkling water glared against Helo's eyes in the afternoon sun, but the crashing of the waves and the sand beneath his feet made the whole tiring journey seem worth it. He looked beside him, down at his daughter. This was the first time she ever saw the sea, and her eyes were wide as she took in the sight, the imposing power of the sea making her take a small step behind him as she evaluated this new environment.
Suddenly, there was a whoop and he looked to see Lee running towards the water, a surprised and laughing Kara tossed over his shoulder. They were out waist deep in the water when Lee unceremoniously threw her into the water. He was laughing when she surfaced, her clothes clinging to her and her hair matted on her face as she grabbed his arm and pulled him down as the waves crashed and they both went under. A moment later, they came up again, laughing and splashing each other in the salty water, their laughter carrying over the waves, reaching their group. Sharon had already taken off her shoes and rolled up her pants, jogging through the sand over to the water. Others were doing the same as Lee was running after a whopping Kara in shallower waters, kicking up water all around them.
Hera grabbed his arm then and he saw that she was watching as Lee caught Kara in his arms and spun her around, kissing her firmly as the water lapped around their ankles.
"Why does it make them so happy, Daddy?" she asked, looking up at him expectantly.
"The sea's a nice place, honey. They haven't seen it in a long time. Now that it's here, they're happy to have it back," he explained.
Hera frowned a bit and looked back at the pair just a ways off. "It really makes them happy." She smiled.
Then she bent down, carefully removing her shoes and placing them beside her on the sand as she wandered off to join her mother in the water.
