DPP: Academy!Pilots

[dannicawebb.livejournal.com]

Hi guys! Sorry I'm a bit late posting today's DPP - I was out all day and didn't have a chance to post before I left this morning :( But...better late than never, right? (Actually, I think that phrase should be stricken from the books, because it leads to things like PILOTS NOT FRAKKING UNTIL FRAKKING NEW CAPRICA. RDM at least shouldn't be allowed to use that phrase. Ever.) Ahem. I digress.

Today (and tomorrow and the rest of the week, whenever you feel like commenting :D) let's talk pre-Galactica, pre-end of the world!pilots. What were Lee and Kara like at the academy? What about flight school? Any fun stories about Lee's time in war college? As far as we know in canon, they never actually met before that night at Kara's house (or at least, if they did, they'd forgotten enough of the details). We know Kara was a flight instructor before she was stationed on Galactica...what was Lee doing before the worlds ended?

Tons of awesome AUs have been written about this time period...rec me your favorite! Write some comment!fic about pilots being together (or separate) doing awesome things in their pre-end of the world days. Tell me what REALLY happened that night between Kara and the major from wherever, or about the time straight-laced Lee got thrown in the brig for pulling a prank or breaking a rule. Tell me the story behind the pic of Kara, Zak, Lee, and the pyramid ball. Tell me how pilots ended up being, well, pilots! What's your favorite alternate version of Lee and Kara's first meeting? Give me your best fanon, fic, fic recs, comment!fic, art, speculation, meta, wild theories, deep dark dirty secrets, whatever floats your boat :)
