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

Me too!! I love pilots at play! :)

And just think how much love they had for one another that it could override the worries at the end of the worlds and give them small moments of joy like this one. <333

I just realized too...and I don't want to stir things up...but I don't remember any of these moments of pure joyful play with K/S. (I don't mean pyramid, but childish play.) Even K/Leoben played in the paint and such, but K/S never seemed to play. I guess maybe that's part of why K/L always seemed so strong in comparison to their other relationships. It's the little moments...finger painting, water fights...that make K/L poignant and real.

No, even though their (K/S) relationship was relatively light (in comparison to K/L), they never did seem to play or be silly this way. My guess is that there might be some play somewhere(??) in the series, but I usually close my eyes when K/S are together. So I don't know. Heee.

I agree! I don't ever remember seeing K/S having fun. For a couple that were meant to be; they didn't really do anything fun. They never seem to bond over their bond/relationship. K/L even in their fights, they were connecting with other on some level.

This, this, so much THIS.

Our pilots are profound people; they do everything with deep meaning.
