DPP: When you smile, the whole world smiles with you.

As much as I love pilots’ angst, I’m a total sap for happy moments. And it makes this shipper so very happy to see our pilots smile. Happy, amused, coy, content, in love, satisfied, challenging, up-to-no- good smiles – I’m not picky. Besides, smiles are contagious and some say they are the shortest distance between two people.

So how about spreading a little happiness around?

 

What about pilots (or the actors who played them) makes YOU smile?

Do you have any great pictures/icons of smiling, happy pilots? Any videos , manips that just make  you grin? Remember any stories that just made you laugh? Sharing is good for the soul. ;)

As fans and K/L shippers we don’t always agree 100% in our personal interpretation of who Kara and Lee were as individuals and as a couple.  And, for me,  it is always a lot of fun to learn what others think about them and I often get to look at them with a slightly new perspective because of that.

But what about the other characters in the show?  How did they see them?   Did the way they were seen by others change throughout the show? In what ways?  Was anybody able to see there was a  Kara behind the Starbuck persona or a Lee behind the Apollo façade?

In fanfics the other pilots are often speculating about the state of their relationship and references to the infamous pool have become common place (and a certain source of fun). But was Adama  really the only one who was completely clueless about what was going on or was it obvious to everyone but him (and sometimes they themselves)?  Did people think it was just about pent-up sexual tension or did anyone realize there was more to it?

Any thoughts?

I like fics that show how others saw them, as well. "Amateur"  by mercurial_wit is the first one that comes to mind. Can you rec others?
