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

Such a great topic!

I love their hug/fumble in UB after the "I miss you/I miss you, too". I just love the way the hang on to each other like if they let go, the whole event wouldn't be real.

I just adore how they need to touch to make it a reality because sometimes their fights are so epic; they wonder if thier making up was real.

Yes, there is sometimes a wonder that seems to overtake them, as if they can't believe they are really present, in the moment, touching each other. Very nice observation. :)

Thanks!

I think sometimes their fights are so bad and they don't see other and someone runs off and may be is dead. So I think they have this need to make sure it's all real and not in their head.
