Today's Topic: The Power of a God

For today, you are the goddess of reincarnation! (Congrats!) The humans and cylons have just discovered Earth 2.0, Kara has poofed and Lee has climbed mountains. Nature (or a mountain lion) has taken its course and now it is your job to give the souls of Kara and Lee new bodies. You can choose any time in history or in the future.

Who are they now?
What do they look like?
When do they live?
What essential parts of them do you keep?
How do they meet?
Who else is reincarnated with them?
What is the course of their lives?
Will you make it easier on them? Harder? Why?
How would their story end?

Give us the whole picture either in description or in fic. Or maybe a graphic will do the trick.

Have a great day!

What do they look like? I actually love the idea that maybe they don’t look like Lee or Kara, entirely. That their connection is bigger than hazel or blue eyes. But I also think those physical things make them recognizable both to us and to each other.

What essential parts of them do you keep? The things that make Kara Kara and Lee Lee are the hard stuff, the brokenness. Healing is for me the thing that’s missing from their story so that still needs to happen.

Who else is reincarnated with them? This is an interesting question because it depends so much on the specific story they’re born back into. Part of me believes everyone has be part of the story in order to find peace and reconciliation, but that ripples out through the other characters. Does it upset the lives of characters who found a better peace? Does that keep the cycle going forever?

Will you make it easier on them? Harder? Why? Things need to be just as hard or as easy as they need to be to make things right. Making things unnecessarily difficult seems unfair but making things easy seems unfulfilling as well.

How would their story end? I need happy. They need resolution.

I also love the idea that they don't look anything like they look now, but that they have the same basic elements in themselves and some of the same flaws and struggles. I would love to make it hard for them, but only because I think some difficulties create wisdom and depth and make the joys in life all the richer. And I would give them each other to weather the days.

So lovely to think about. :)

Exactly. Although telling parallel stories where Lee and Kara finally meet at the end ready and healed would be interesting too.
