No Takebacks

I'm going to request some ALPHA!Lee because I have GOT to kick my current Hurt/Comfort binge. PLEASE!!!

From:

Hm. I'm not sure if this is what you had in mind, but the most quietly confident Lee I've ever encountered is in Speak True (http://moodfic.livejournal.com/65479.html) by

voleuse.

From:

Oh, that was elegant and beautiful. And yes, quietly confident Lee is the best way to describe how he unsettles her. Marvelous. Thank you so much for the rec. I adored it!

From:

Yay! Glad you enjoyed :)

WHERE HAS THIS BEEN ALL MY LIFE?

I can't believe I'd never read that before. Awesome. Thanks for the rec! :)

From:

You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed :)

From:

Oh Rachel, that is so beautiful. And the quote from Neruda... perfection. Thanks.

From:

My pleasure :) I should read more Neruda...

From:

I haven't read this in forever, and it's one of my absolute favorites. *happy sigh*

From:

I hadn't read it in forever, either. I actually had to google it, by which I mean I typed in "Kara/Lee fic ankle tap" and it actually came up! Thank you, internet.

From:

I love that googling "Kara/Lee fic ankle tap" found it!

From:

I've always lived that fic

I think you've read them all, but I've been in a very alphaLee mood lately too and I think rabid1st's fic ICED and its coda RESTRAINT is really the best alpha!Lee around. I actually just reread the whole series last night and though the writing gets a bit purple in places, I really like his characterization and the connection between pilots.

ETA: http://rabid1st.livejournal.com/tag/fiction-bsg --here's all her fic.

From:

Awesome! I have read most things, but I forget everything and re-reading is a pleasure. Thanks, Tara!

From:

I love Iced! What's that nickname he calls her? Agapeta or something like that?

From:

I will shamelessly pimp my own most recent alpha!Lee foray: Rhythms (http://kdbleu.livejournal.com/19489.html)

From:

Oh, honey, thank you! I meant to read earlier today! YAY!!!!!!!!!

From:

you're welcome. :)

From:

Ah, CAG voice. *happy sigh*

From:

There's that one: Screwing with the Bossman

I think it's by Nanvy777 but I can't remember...TOTALLY ALPHA Lee

From:

Cool. Is that on LJ or Ff.net?

Hurt/Comfort for me please. I love that genre.

From:

I second that.

From:

Really? I never knew that, C! (I would have pegged you as more interested in family dynamics between Adama and Lee. Not to say you aren't though ;)

From:

Oh, I definitely love anything that has to do with the Adama family. But I guess you can consider hurt/comfort a secret pleasure of mine.

*whispers* I particularly love near death experiences and amnesia. The biggest the hurt, the biggest the comfort, I guess. I love the potential for meaninful insights and realizations that such desperate moments have, you know. In moments like these you realize that the "one day" you keep postponing the things you really want to may never come, and it really forces you to face things you normally wouldn't. And I love the blank slate amnesia provides. Which parts of you are really you and which parts are a result of your experiences. And the angst of those around you? Of course, there's always the risk that such stories will be overly sappy or melodramatic, but when done properly... I do love them. ;)

GET OVER AND READ THIS THEN! GO! GO NOW!!!

*grins* Nope. I didn't know that about you! :D

From:

This is one of my favorite hurt/comfort, plus amnesia!

Lost and Found (http://suffolkgirl.livejournal.com/?skip=10&tag=bsg%20fic%20-%20lost%20and%20found)

From:

Oh, I know this one. There are parts of it that I definitely like (a lot) and I have read it more than once, but I think there are moments that fall on the sappy category. I prefer "Promises", by the same author. Not quite as dramatic, but, emotianally, it resonates more strongly for me. I absolutely LOVE it.

From:

Lost and Found definitely veers a bit sappy, but there are some really sweet moments in it too.

From:

Absolutely. Have you read Promises?

From:

Yes, I have, though not in a long time. It's so sad. :(

From:

For hurt/comfort, some old faves of mine are:

Falling (http://dionusia.livejournal.com/10571.html) by

dionusia.

Running (http://m.fanfiction.net/s/3645798/1/) by Kaynara.

And I hesitate to call this one hurt/comfort because there's not much comfort to be had, but it's beautifully written and I cannot resist the siren call of pilots hypothermia in space:
Liliquoi Moon (http://www.yuletidetreasure.org/archive/9/liliquoimoon.html) by dirty diana.

From:

LJ was blocking me from posting these earlier. Here's three that I thought of when you posted for Hurt/Comfort. I generally prefer Kara comforting Lee because I usually feel like he's more likely to accept it but once in a while a fic writer manages to get Kara to accept comfort from Lee while still being in character.

Supply and Demand (http://sangga.livejournal.com/6621.html)

From:

I could do with some friendshippy fics.

From:

callmeonetrack.livejournal.com

Ship to Ship (http://brynnmck.livejournal.com/46471.html) by Brynnmck is my favorite friendship fic! It's a series of phone calls between Lee and Kara when she's on Galactica and he's on the Pegasus. Really sweet, excellent banter, and everything brynn writes is fantastic (so read all the rest of her stuff too!)

From:

That's got to be one of my favorite fics EVER. In fact when I wrote the comment I was thinking "something like Ship to Ship." Since you went through the trouble of linking I guess I'll re-read. :-D Thank you.

From:

callmeonetrack.livejournal.com

oops sorry! ha ha.

It's kind of hard to find just friendshippy fics for them I think, because the UST always works its way in there! ;)

From:

Don't be sorry. I think that fic should be rec'd daily.

Even this has a bit of USTyness in it. Kara isn't too happy about the whole Dee situation. But I just feel like friends and kick ass partners is the one thing they got right in canon so I like to see more of it. Of course there's always an attraction so that's just a given.

From:

howlingchickhowl's Kepala (sp?) is really awesome. I don't keep links but you could certainly find it if you looked. :) It includes Kara's entire entourage pre-mini.

From:

This (http://howlinchickhowl.livejournal.com/20145.html) looks like it. Thank you!! I'm excited to read this. :-)

From:

That's the one! AMAZING! You definitely should read it. It's one of my favourite fandom fics :D

From:

These seem topical :)

From:

Gosh, R. I already love your writing and now I love your recs, as well. The Art of Making Friends is just adorable. Gotta check the other one. If you have other stories to rec, please don't refrain from doing so. ;)

From:

Ohhh, those are both awesome. And baby pilots <3 !! Thank you. I tend to forget ff.net so I think these might be new to me. :-)
