rirenecand letterstonorah are cylons), the numbers are in…
WE DID IT!
Kara / Lee have taken the SHIP-AWESOME AWARD!
That’s right, ladies! The K/L fangirls brought it DOWN at Epics! This No_Takebacks post (which again, I really have no right to be posting since I’ve no idea whose week I’m hijacking) is going to be
One giant Cloud Nine party of PILOTS LOVE! 
Here’s the plan!
If you wrote a fic…
POST YOUR FIC HERE!
You can do that in the comments, or by linking the thread from the original OR with a link to your fic on your actual page. The Epics page is seriously like wading through a post-cylon attack flack-field so let’s get our bb’s out here where the love is ALIVE!
COMMENT ON THE FIC!
Seriously peeps – we had new shippers, multi-shippers, veteran shippers and EVERYONE IN BETWEEN writing for Kara / Lee! They need your kudos! Raise a glass of ambrosia to them. There's also a Discussion Post going on at Epics, so feel free to jump in there and share the love!
Lastly…
FLAILING and / or GIF-FLAILING!
Three years post-poof, and the love for Kara/Lee has only grown STRONGER. We should be celebrating the AWESOMENESS of that!
Now go! GO AND PARTY IT UP LIKE IT’S THE END OF THE TWELVE WORLDS!
P.S. I like, seriously love you guys. KAG :D

(also, I am kind of baffled that A/R only got 21 drabbles written, especially with the amount of Roslin fans that there are out there. Anyway. WE WON!!! :D :D).

Pigeons and Tables (PG)
Date: 2012-05-17 03:59 pm (UTC)They’re halfway through setting up the tent that will act as Fleet HQ on New Caprica when a bird flies in. Kara doesn’t seem to notice, but Lee turns to stare at it.
“What?” she asks after a minute, frowning at the intensity on his face. “It’s just a bird. Good to know there are some here, I’ve been missing chicken.”
He turns to look at her, everything that’s ever passed between them flashing through his mind. “That night,” he says. “The first night we met.” Lee sees her eyes go wide and pushes on. “When I finally got home, a pigeon had flown into the house and I spent ages chasing it with a broom, knocking the furniture over.”
Kara bursts out laughing, caught off guard by the direction of the story and the image of Lee and the bird. “Want me to get you a broom?” she gasps.
Lee chuckles, shaking his head. “Trust me, it doesn’t work. It’ll take its own time.”
Kara nods. “Then hang this tarp for me, would you?”
He pauses. “In a second.” He sees nervousness in her eyes again. “Kara, I’ve spent three and a half years thinking about that kiss.”
“But Dee--”
“Zak didn’t stop me thinking about it, Kara.”
She bites her lip. “Me, neither.”
With a rush of joy he races through the rest. “Then maybe--this planet isn’t perfect, but neither are we,” he grins when she smiles, “and maybe it can be our bright shiny future.”
Kara nods, the happiness in her eyes matching his own. “Well, then, Apollo,” she says lightly. “I think we need to find a table.”
Shadows on the Walls (PG)
Date: 2012-05-17 04:00 pm (UTC)Lee wanders across the sand, the crackle of Geiger counters in the background, and finds Kara standing alone, staring at the dark outline of a human shape on a crumbled wall. In her hand the emergency locator is beeping faintly, but she doesn’t seem to hear.
He stops beside her, waiting silently, as tears slip down her cheeks.
“The harbinger of death,” Kara finally says. She turns to look at him. “It was all for nothing. I flew away from you--” She breaks off, and Lee reaches out to stroke away her tears.
“You got us here,” he says firmly, trying not to let her see his own disappointment. “It didn’t even exist until you made it exist.”
“So much for a bright, shiny future,” Kara whispers, and her voice cracks. It’s all he can take and he pulls her into his arms, hugging her hard against him. There’s nothing he can offer her. He wanted the same thing - that life, porch-swing and all - and the loss of that hope has left him empty.
“It’s just not as easy as we thought,” he says, trying for sarcasm, and at least he earns a hint of a smile.
Kara nods, then pulls away. She looks down for a minute at her locator. “I’m going to see where this leads. Just in case.”
“Alright. I’ll be on Colonial One when you get back.” His chest eases when she smiles, genuinely this time.
“I’ll see you soon,” Kara promises.
Lee heads back to the others then, already missing the feel of her in his arms. He longs more than ever for their journey to be over.
Underwater (PG-13)
Date: 2012-05-17 04:00 pm (UTC)It’s Zak who insists on the beach, but it’s Kara who chooses to wear a bikini. At first she just doesn’t want to do anything differently and give them away, but then, feeling Lee’s eyes on her, memorizing, she’s glad she did it. She arches her back a little as she shifts on the sand, rests an absent-minded hand on her thigh.
“Let’s swim,” Lee says abruptly, and stalks off to the water.
Zak explains the game they’ve been playing since they were six and eight: you go underwater and whisper secrets. They duck down and he says something incomprehensible that he claims meant he loves her. Lee confesses jokingly to being the favorite child; Kara to being a better pilot than Lee. When Zak starts to swim back to shore, Lee grabs Kara’s wrist and pulls her underwater once last time.
They stare at each other, holding their breath until their lungs burn. Lee doesn’t let go of her hand.
