DPP: Piloty Affection

[scifishipper.livejournal.com]

Pilot hugs mean a lot of different things: thank the gods you're alive, I missed you, I forgive you, I trust you, and I love you. Pilots use physical affection (and eyefrakking) to express all of the things they never say in words. The two scenes below bookend the pilot experience for me. The Home hug and kiss, the first we see in the series, takes everyone (including Kara and Lee) by surprise. The brig kiss, the final important kiss for me, evokes painful longing, relief, separation, and, above all else, deep love and affection. It's painful and beautiful at the same time.

 

 

 

What is your favorite piloty affection? Please provide evidence. :D

ETA: I want to give a shout out to the amazing rachelindeed who created a lovely poem for yesterday's

Yes, ITA. I love that Lee pushes everyone out of the way to get to Kara. It's the perfect example of unconditional love: he doesn't care for one second if she's cylon or whatever. He is just thrilled that she's back.

Here is the pretty:




ETA: Let us all note that Lee was WAY ahead of any other *ahem* less worthy individuals that might have shown up for hugs later.

"Get out of my frakking way - that's my Kara." Lee FTW.

he WAS waaaaaaaaaaay ahead of everyone - most everyone else was standing back, giving her the stink eye.

AND let us note that she hugs him back, but pushes away from ::cough:: other people almost immediately.

Yes!

I love how he's just so focussed in on her, can't take her eyes off her. Even when Sam shows up (finally) he just stares and stares. So sweet!
