no_takebacksToday's post is all for reccing. Comment here with a type of Kara/Lee fic you're looking for and others will come along and comment with fics that fit what you're looking for.
So, for example, someone might say they're looking for fics where Kara is a pig farmer and if you know of a FANTASTIC fic where Kara is a pig farmer, link them to it. Self-reccing is definitely welcome.
Let's all find some new things to read!

Also, the tags for this comm lead to some great rec lists. The "shipping essentials" and "fic recs" tags over on the left sidebar will get you to a lot of great suggestions.

Date: 2012-05-31 04:02 am (UTC)Once Were Warriors (http://users.livejournal.com/wisteria_/677353.html) by wisteria_ and indigo 419 -- He's tried leaving her, forgetting her, hating her. And it just feels right to be here with her. Again, or still, or instead of leaving.
Fingers in the Mire () by Daphnaea - When he found her he was going to frakking kill her, couldn’t she just frakking follow him for five frakking minutes, stupid stupid frakking –
Yellow hair in the mud.
Time came crashing down on him, every millisecond an impossible distance. Ten yards away and his legs weren’t working right, he couldn’t feel them, nine yards and oh holy gods if she was gone if this was it if he was alone if there was no one left to talk back to every change in his face, eight yards and was that blood mixed with the dark mud if it was sunny he could see but it was cloudy still, evening light in the middle of the afternoon, colors faded until blood and dirt could pass for one another and how could it end in silent, alien woods with no firefight, no blaze of funereal glory...
Anatomy of a Triangle (http://daphnaea.livejournal.com/7329.html) by Daphnaea -- Anastasia knew exactly when her husband started cheating, because Starbuck stopped being nice to her. Since the boxing match (Dee refused to think of it as any kind of dance), Captain Thrace had been all hesitant smiles and averted eyes and military correctness over the comms when she was flying CAPs. Then, a few days ago, she’d run bodily into her in the corridor, and Starbuck had smirked viciously and said, “Watch it, Lieutenant.” And Dee had just known.
Fearful Symmetry (http://leda13.livejournal.com/26457.html) by Leda13 -- You abandoned Vipers for things that crawl on the ground, you gave up everything you wanted for this lump of earth and a chance at as much happiness as you might possibly have earned. You pushed Lee away, so he wouldn't break. So now that's what you have: dust and death, because apparently that's what you deserve.
Too Solid Flesh (http://queenofthorns.livejournal.com/278139.html) by Queenofthorns -- Crack!fic! -- He tries to stop himself from thinking about them during the day; he keeps hoping each night will be different, that he’ll be able to resist what calls to him from the galley. But each night, during the dog watch, he starts thinking about how smooth and chewy they are, how good they feel inside his mouth and he can’t help himself. And he’s found a crate of peanut sauce bottles hidden away in the back of Fisk’s closet (Garner didn’t have time to unpack before he was killed.) Now the noodles are even better. The peanut sauce slides down the noodles like sunlight on Starbuck’s long hair, and Lee thinks he’s in heaven.
And a few of my own fave fics from S3:
Faith Like Wings (http://taragel.livejournal.com/76433.html)--You could ask him to do it, clip your wings. It would be so frakking easy. And he wouldn’t deny you. Everything else, yes. But not this. But if you don’t fly, then who are you? If not Starbuck—even this raw, regenerated version who came back from New Caprica—then what’s left?
On the Line (http://taragel.livejournal.com/90111.html#cutid1) -- Lee’s never been into rough sex, but with Kara, he’s primal. He wants to suck her skin till it bruises, sink his teeth in till he breaks the surface. He desperately wants to mark her, and it’s juvenile and territorial and that’s not him either. But with Kara…well, he’s finding out that he’s a lot of things he never thought he was.
Needful Things (http://taragel.livejournal.com/127033.html)--Lee’s life has always been a matter of simple math—he substitutes obedience for understanding and duty for desire, companionship for passion, sustenance for comfort. He thinks he can walk away. He's wrong.

Date: 2012-05-31 08:26 am (UTC)I guess what I would love to read are:
- fics when L&K go back in time to redo everything (I've read the ones by Kag & choosing sarah, but I'm still hoping to discover another one)
- Academy fics !! (I just LOVE "Academy days" by Maevenly)
- I also would love to read a fic where Kara is Zak's teacher & Lee's girlfriend, but Zak does not know it. He only discovers it when Lee comes back from an assignment while Kara is teaching Zak's class (the idea would be for Lee to show up and answer the question Kara had just asked). Well, maybe one day I'll write it ;)
(and btw, sorry if I answer each daily post a bit late. I'm on Central European Time, so....)

Yes, this is the one by choosing sarah - the first chapter is a bit "hard" (cylon, torture, etc.) but what happens next is just brillant. I hope you'll tell me later what you thought of it, because it's one of my favorites one.
The one by Kag is "Two coins for Charon": http://kag523.livejournal.com/133461.html
Hope you enjoy :)
