DPP: Kara&Lee&Zak

[useyourlove.livejournal.com]

My turn!! Yaaaay! I solemnly swear that I will keep my upset-getting and angsting to a minimum this week. Also, if any of my DPP's are just boring eternal repeats (ha!) I apologize--I'm still fairly new and so many of you know all the good places and classic fics etc. So I'm basically picking your brain.

After the show bible discussions last week from the lovely wicked_sassy, I got to thinking about all the pre-mini fanon out there and how much better it is than what the writers originally thought up (and thankfully, largely discarded). There are so many possible ways that their backstory could've gone and so many different versions of Zak, Kara, and Lee floating around out there and they're all equally valid and interesting. Pre-mini fics are pretty much my favorite genre. I'm just fascinated by all the "what-ifs" of their story, and how things are almost always canon compliant (because it's really easy to do with these two) and make the whole business richer from the get-go.

So, gimme your fics, your recs, and your head!canon. Tell me how you think their relationship developed. Tell me about your version of Zak. Fill in one of the holes that canon left or explain one of the tiny little references that they leave up to the imagination (my particular favorites are the "this looks familiar" and "this is just like old times with the major from wherever." And that ridiculously awkward picture that Kara has.)
