DPP: Pre-History

[kdbleu.livejournal.com]

This is actually a pretty simple question…

Before the horrible awful revelation that is The Table Scene, what did you think had happened between Lee and Kara before the mini?
 

You can tell everyone, write a litte story or post a link to the fic that fits your personal canon best. Extra points if you explain the Major too. ;)


I thought the brig scene was better inspiration than the Table.PP

I don't have a problem with the near table frak. I always suspected there was something like this in their past. A moment where either they did it or almost did. It shows they had an instant spark from the beginning, also Lee and Kara can't keep their hands off of each other when they drink. Not a new idea.

Also I don't think that scene means that was the last time they met before the mini. Alot more happens between them and Zak's death. Not saying there are more near fraks or fraks at all for that matter, but there's more to it then just that.

The problem is the context. When Kara poofs not long after the near frak, it does nothing to make anyone like the near frak any more. In my mind I can separate the beginning from the end. I reject because they almost frakked when they met it meant they were doomed forever. If in the end they had gotten together it would have shown they moved beyond their mistakes. With the poof, it's just more salt in the wound.

I think another reason I like the flashbacks in general, you got to see if things were different and they had met first things could have worked out. They had the spark, the attraction. They could have had a normal relationship. Was nice to see them just being normal.

I don't have one fic I consider cannon. I don't really have a premini canon. I just believe they had more of a rich history then we saw.

Pretty much all of this is how I read it, too. Given body language in the photo of the three of them, they spent a lot of time together, and became real friends. The scene in the brig always showed that it was a complicated friendship, but a real one. The near frak meant that they were on their guard against it ever happening again – which can explain their overwhelming chemistry and why it took so long for them to actually consumate it, because of the guilt involved, and not just from the fact that this time they were both cheating to do it. It was the fact that they were cheating on Zak that made it so devastating to them, not the fact that they were cheating.

To me, the timing of the table scene with the ending implied that the whole of the intervening years was the journey they had to go on to get past it, and that they finally had. The resolution and absolution was finally there. They're eternal counterparts, and as such the only thing that can break the connection between them is them. This whole time was them (eventually, and with much complication) mending their connection. I don't care what different planes of existence they're on – in fact, they can go anywhere and be apart as long as they like, because their bond is now unassailable.
