DPP: In the beginning...

[workerbee73.livejournal.com]

Good morning, Shipper Nation.  Welcome to day two of my reign of terror the land of rainbows and kittens.  I have one question for you:


How did those crazy kids meet?

Disregard the lame-ass flashbacks in Daybreak for a moment.  I know that EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU has their own version in their head of how Kara and Lee met.  So guess what, peeps?  I want to hear it.
 
Was it funny? Angsty? Silly? Did sparks fly? Was it the traditional rom-com meetcute or a full-out confrontational exchange? Did the earth move and angles weep?  Did they know each other as kids?  Meet at the Academy?  Attend band camp together?


Whatever it is, I need to know, so spill, m'kay?  *g*

NOTE:  For purposes of this discussion, I'm asking you to forget about the DB flashbacks and go back and remember what your theory was before we were bombarded with all that.  (Not just because of the controversial table scene but because the meeting and subsequent early interactions of K/L deserve their OWN FRAKKING MINISERIES-- NOT FIVE MINUTES IN A HASTILY-WRITTEN FINALE.)

The way they are in Claira's "Stupid Thing Last Night" and "Artemis Rising" and in Brynnmck's "Detour" is probably my favorite take on their early relationship. I love the idea that they were BFFs in and out of denial of all the UST everyone else saw between them.

But in terms of what I thought was closest to canon (at least before the finale), the way they met in "Decline and Fall" (after Kara and Zak had been dating for a while already) rang truest to me.

Remind me of how they met in Decline and Fall....

Oh, Kara picks Lee up at the spaceport. Nothing too dramatic, but of course we all know how the story progresses and ends...

So, you're thinking they met in the Zak context?

Pretty much, yeah. 'Cause as much as I love stories in which Kara meets Lee first, I just find it hard to believe Kara would have gone for Zak if she already knew Lee. I mean, come on!
