Spin the Wheel!

Step right up and choose a number between 1 and 100!

Leave your chosen number in a comment and I will give you a corresponding word. When you get your word, do one of the following:

+ Write a drabble.
+ Write meta about how that word relates to pilots.
+ Rec fic, video, fanmix or artwork that is related to that word.

(Some of these words will require some creative thinking, so Starbuck-it and get outside the box! ;)

You can choose multiple numbers, but you have to fill your FIRST number first. I will be in and out all day, but will try to respond as quickly as possible to requests.

Have Fun!

Claimed Numbers: 2, 6, 11, 16, 19, 31, 33, 47, 49, 59, 76, 97


ETA: LJ notifs are failing a bit today, but I'll be checking the page at regular intervals. *shakes fists*

Witness

The Dance, PG

[kl-shipper1.livejournal.com]

Their relationship had always been more about closed doors and closed mouths than open displays of emotion. Everyone knew that; after all, scuttlebutt traveled faster around the ship than anything else, and Starbuck and Apollo were a hot topic.

Which is why the Dance came as such a surprise. Not the fighting-- that was perfectly normal for Lee and Kara-- but how much raw emotion came through with each harsh punch. That was nothing like them. The bystanders turned to each other, not sure whether to clap as they had for every other boxing match, or turn around and leave so as not to intrude upon such a clearly intimate moment any longer.

Then again, the two participants weren't just any other pilots, so maybe it shouldn't have been so surprising that their match wouldn't be anything like the others. Like a taut rubber band finally being released, they all knew Starbuck and Apollo were bound to find their way back together again. What they were seeing was the collision, the explosion.

As the bruised, bloodied pilots fell into a tired embrace, people began to shuffle out, unwilling to bear witness to something so clearly not meant for their eyes. Not meant for anyone's eyes but the two in the center of the ring.

When everyone had exited, Athena made sure to shut the hatch behind them.

That last line is just perfect. No one should see what happens next. They've seen too much already. :)

I love the last line. The whole thing is lovely and inciteful, but that last line just brought it home in a really simple, really personal way.

So wonderful. There were moments of that ep where I felt bad because it was so raw and they're both people who don't share their emotions. You've really captured that feeling here. Great job.
