Lee's cheekbones + Kara's eyebrows = <3!

She's not quite sure where they go from here. Lee's leaving to command Pegasus and their paths are diverging once again. He seems happy about it, although it's hard to tell because rank doesn't mean that much to him. She still thinks he resents the privileges of his father's name, just like he did at the Academy, but this is war and she might even agree that he's the best person for the job.

Somehow it had been easier to leave Galactica to command the air group on Pegasus than it is now to watch Lee pack his things to go. She's used to being the one to leave, to getting the hell out of the fire when it gets too hot. Now the thing that was between them, the bullet she fired from her gun, is scarred over and doesn't seem to matter like it used to.

In Garners's last moments, it had felt like old times, him in command, her in her viper, working as a team to save the Fleet. It was better, she thinks, than trying to work out whatever it is they are when they don't have pips and rank between them.

Now, though, he's leaving, and some impulse pushes her to make sure. Death comes quickly and she doesn't want another Adama regret in her gut.

When he pulls her into a hug, forgiveness and closeness snap in place so sharply that she can't breathe. She feels his breath against her neck and her fingers clutch his jacket. Warmth and arousal seep into her bones and she remembers why it's easier that he's leaving.

When Dee comes to the hatch, she steps back, their bubble broken.

Definitely easier.

You're too good to me. I really need to get writing something. The muse is so lazy today! Hee!

Sometimes you just need to write and get the machinery working again. Can be so difficult. I haven't written anything except this little fic in thirteen days. The muse needs to be greased almost daily. She's a pain in my ass. *nods*

*sigh* It's a shame that she thinks so. :(

The things that Kara had

Lee doesn't know what to make of the thin metal figures in the bottom of Kara's locker, their gleaming brass finish worn from years of adoration. Her belief in the gods still seems odd to him, her passionate belief in something that he finds so irrational and difficult to embrace. He holds the two figures, though, his fingers tracing the softened metal edges, imagining her fingers doing the same. Maybe for the first time, he feels the peace that a symbol can give, feels connected to Kara in a way that she would have never allowed.

He's supposed to put everything in this box, plain and brown with her name scribbled on the front, the duty of the CAG no matter how hard it is. So he does, dropping the items in one by one, clothes he recognizes and papers he doesn't, left folded and private like she obviously intended. With her locker emptied, the box lid lies cast aside, the small figures once again resting in his palms.

Later that night he finds an empty locker, sits in the dark, fingers stroking the now-warmed metal, and he prays.

*sigh* I love to imagine the power that her life and presence had over him. If anyone could make him believe, it would be her. <3<3

She really was his talisman :( At least she came back to him...

This is gorgeously melancholy and sweet.

I love Lee praying for Kara because it's something we never get to see. Plus, I don't know, to me it shows Lee's faith in Kara's for her Gods.

Yes! I think Lee believes in Kara and then in turn what Kara believes becomes more real. *draws hearts around them*
