I've only been in the BSG fandom for one year and I have read a lot of fic, but I am not a voracious reader, so it takes me a while to get to everything. I believe I've read most of what there is to read on LJ, but I have only just begun to mine the depths of FF.net and A03. Today, when I checked Ff.net there were 1037 Kara/Lee fics. O_O That makes me happy and intimidated at the same time. WOW!
So, your task today, shippers, is to be my guide to Kara/Lee fic on FF and A03. What must I read there that I have not seen on LJ?
Please give a "genre" when you rec the fics, if you don't mind, e.g. AU, Academy, Porn, Post-poof, etc. Thank you and have a great day!

Between by DianeLD (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2567029/1/Between) -- pre-mini with Lee adjusting to Kara/Zak relationship (he's friends with Kara first) "Starbuck and Apollo-—it fills the spaces. Between Kara. And Lee."
And finally

Date: 2011-01-13 04:26 pm (UTC)Here's one I really like on ff.net. "Event Horizon: Defiance" by Setivalen. It's long and unfinished, but features the entire cast and a shifting time frame between now and Kara & Lee's past when they were together at the Academy. In this AU, Bill's down on New Caprica visiting Laura and Lee has to save everyone. Worth reading even if it is unfinished imho, esp if you like Alpha!Lee.

We've had a lot of discussion about what it takes for an author to post long chapters regularly and live with a story for several years. It's definitely a calling as well as a blessing to the shipper community imho.

He's a guy, in case you don't know that (some don't). I love his work. "Other Lives" is extremely intense and has scenes of violence/ hurt. "Portraits of Marriage" is so hawt you need an icy margarite or a fire extinguisher near by.

Not everyone's cup of tea, but I like the idea.

So now I've been a total post-whore. Happy reading!

Date: 2011-01-13 05:32 pm (UTC)-everything by Cranberry Jei (http://www.fanfiction.net/u/397343/Cranberry_Jei) (long, dramatic, lots of fun)
-Cold Blood (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3427661/1/Cold_Blood) (ensemble, could-have-been-an-episode kind of thing)
-Five Seasons in Caprica City (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2539625/1/Five_Seasons_in_Caprica_City): Kara genfic.
-Hush (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4018406/1/Hush): really beautiful one-shot about Kara and Lee.
-Making Babies (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5255747/1/Making_Babies): very nice moment between Kara and Lee. Don't let the name fool you--this is more like the antithesis of babyfic.
-Rivals (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3531406/1/Rivals): lint138 is on LJ, but as far as I know, this fic isn't. It's one of my favorites of his, and just a really fun and tender AU in which Kara and Lee meet through their high school pyramid teams.
-Sins of the Fodder (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2786900/1/Sins_Of_The_Fodder): this one is really, really a must-read.
-The Edge of Night (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1846708/1/The_Edge_of_Night): kinda gen but kinda not, it's an ensemble fic that could-have-been-an-episode in early season 1.
-The Otherside (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6336071/1/The_Otherside): I just discovered this fic (and I do wish there was a space between "other" and "side," but oh well) and I spent an entire day reading it. And then almost an entire night. Very exciting ride.
Anyway, I could go on but all my other favorites are already listed in the "Pearls of the Pit" post.

Date: 2011-01-13 05:52 pm (UTC)It's set back in season one, so before tons of angst gets puts on top of them. Even though it was written so long ago, it captures the pilots really well.
There are many others great ones Possibility:Bright Shiny Future. Another one to go with yesterday's theme is Possibility:Marked and the fic follow up Hope. All by hackaddict. Hackaddict has some other good fics as well. :)

Date: 2011-01-13 07:02 pm (UTC)I have to agree with what was said about uberscribbler and JaneAus10. and State of Delusion is just heart-breaking in the beginning. the end depends on every persons pow and preferences but you'll probably love the beginning.
somebody said something about the Posibility series... they are all great, some are short and some are long fics but good ones. different genres also.
from what i remembered without the bookmarks and wasn't already mentioned and everything i can recommend
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4610743/1/Dark_Days_of_Apollo, again very AU and not for everybody but i liked it even if i;m not a big fan of the whole Apollo/Artemis thing.

Date: 2011-01-14 01:55 am (UTC)Breaking Point (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2401236/1/Breaking_Point), by RoadrunnerDM, which is very Lee-centred (there are some things I didn't like very much, but overall a great story, with lots of drama and angst)
Works in progress (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4534545/1/Works_in_Progress) by pygmymuse, very AU, pre-mini
Everything that was will be again (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4731291/1/Everything_that_was_will_be_again), by Igore, extremely AU, very dark, very intriguing and gripping, with an almost unrecongnizable, very hardened Lee, unfortunately unfinished and hasn't been updated in a while.

Date: 2011-01-14 03:40 am (UTC)If I understood her right, Hidden Within is her sequel to The Otherside. She's also posting The Distance in Between as a kind of filler/separate story set within the same time frame as The Otherside.
I'm not sure if TamSibling is on LJ. She has some excellent fics at FF, I'm especially fond of Leftovers. It's AU after they visit the Temple of Athena on Kobol and deals with Kara's Caprica wounds.
Same with msk1701. I like several fics including A New Start. It's a long AU from around the beginning of Lay Down Your Burdens and Razor never happened.

Date: 2011-01-14 05:24 pm (UTC)For some reason I didn 't put author's names on lot of them. Lately (before I found this DVD) I've slowly been trying to collect old fan fiction and store them for posterity. It's just for me, so years from now I can go relive pilots again hehe. I figure as time goes by, many fics will be lost. Some of the old fan fic sites have disappeared like the *sniff* Fallout Shelter. Who knows how long before a site like FF.net would cull their "old" stories. Hell who knows how long the site will be there for sure. No guarantees.

Date: 2011-01-15 10:20 pm (UTC)It switches from the future where Lee and Kara are on Earth being studied by scientists after crash landing and to the past on Galactica. Throw in some twins and being captured by cylons and it's an awesome fic. :D
