I've been looking forward to this episode ever since the K/L rewatch began - Hand of God is one of my all time favorite episodes. I mean, c'mon, hangar deck celebration with cocky Alpha!Lee at his finest, it doesn't get much better than that.
elzed said it best in a recent comment on
taragel's fic (see rec below): "Apollo with the booze and cigar and adrenaline and sweat and HOTNESS radiating from him like an irresistible aura..." Yeah. Besides, this episode has Kara delivering one of the best pilot lines ever: "Apollo, you magnificent bastard, that was one hell of a piece of flying."
So without further ado, on to the recs! There's a wealth to choose from but also a warning - not all of them have a happy ending. Please add others that you know of in the comments.
