DPP: Favorite lines

[damao2010.livejournal.com]

"I don't care. We've all been through some crazy, crazy stuff... I don't care what he's talking about. I don't care what you think you saw. I watched your viper explode. Don't care. I'm here. You're here. 'Cause I'm Lee and you're Kara and the rest of it isn't worth a damn."

We all have our favorite lines from the show and we have often talked about them. But what about fic? There are many, many stories out there that I absolutely love and so many truly talented writers. Sometimes a story stays with you because of the quality of its plot, the creativity and skill of its author. Sometimes, some lines just stay with you for a long time after so many specific details begin to fade.  Are there any particular lines from a story that stuck with you and you really wish they were canon? Or words that have touched you somehow, regardless of the plot of the story itself?

I could make a huge list of  my favorites, but I'll start with just two.

1) From Echoes, by jeneviverose

“I love you, Kara Thrace, and I believe that you are greater than the sum of your past.”


2) From Every Sense, by rachelindeed (This one needs a little bit of context to make sense)

“I’ve left my mark, too, haven’t I?” she murmured.

He stared at her blankly, and she pressed harder, two fingers jabbing into the line of his lapel. It took another minute for the gesture to click. Though she hadn’t seen his bullet scar in years, he realized she’d pinpointed it through three layers of clothing with her usual precision.

“That’s me,” she told him, and tried to step away.

He caught her hand, shifting his arm forward and arching the heel of his palm against her touch.  It felt awkward, like they were botching an old ritual, but he pressed her fingers closer until they dug into his wrist.  She felt the thrum of his pulse. 

“That's you,” he said.
