no_takebacksHello fellow shippers! My name is Cosette and I will be your DPP host for this week. My fabulous predecessors have done a wonderful job over these past weeks, and I hope to keep the fun going! :D
We have already discussed our favorite moments, scenes, fics, vids… And I don’t know about all of you, but personally, when it comes to K/L related stuff, I am inherently conflicted when it comes to choose a favourite anything. Of course I have my preferences –I could probably pick my 5 favorite scenes and my 10 most beloved fics or come up with a list of, say, 15 songs that scream pilots to me; but when I have to cut down the list to one, the task becomes almost impossible. What I intend for today’s post, though, is to make you choose... Hence my question is, if you had to make a choice and pick one, ONLY ONE, which would be...
*Your favorite K/L scene. And why?
*Your favorite Kara/Starbuck moment. And why?
*Your favorite Lee/Apollo moment. And why?
*Your favorite pic of them? (evidence would be muchly appreciated!)
*Your favorite K/L fic?
I know this is a really tough call, there are so many wonderful stories out there, but you probably have a story that holds a special place in your heart for a bunch of different reasons… Maybe it was the first good one you read, maybe it’s the story that made you cry harder or touched you in a way you didn’t expected, or explored a certain aspect of Lee and Kara’s relationship in a way you found utterly satisfying --or who knows, maybe it is the smuttiest smut you’ve ever read :)).
*Your favorite K/L song?
*Your favorite K/L vid?
*Needless to say, feel free to answer to those questions you feel like. Also, I’d love to hear yours “why’s” about pretty much all your choices. After all, the reasoning behind an election is as important as the choice in itself (and I am that nosy and chatty, hehe).

Date: 2010-04-26 01:17 pm (UTC)1. Favorite Kara/Lee scene. Raptor outmaking. I wrote about it here (http://community.livejournal.com/sasa_hq/95193.html?thread=841689#t841689) and my feelings about that scene haven't changed one bit. :-D
2. Favorite Kara moment. Favorite?! Wow. This isn't my favorite, favorite moment. I know others will disagree but I love the moment when the painting turns into the basestar and Kara laughs. I felt it was the first time I had seen even a glimpse of the real Kara in . . . months. It made my heart happy. She was in there somewhere and she was happy and right for a moment. It makes me misty now but at the time I really was glad to see my girl, even briefly. I love to hear her laugh.
3. Favorite Lee moment. Back to Eye of Jupiter. When he flips out on Sam. He's all sweaty and angry and he has loved Kara longer than you! How dare you! Gosh, folks I tell you I got shivers. I thought Lee might say more. I hoped Lee might say more. And both men are so . . . sweaty. And gosh, Lee just loves her so much it's like ready to spill out of him, he's so worried.
4. Favorite Kara/lee pic. This pic (http://ecsperiment.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/leekara.jpg) is a promo pic but I like it because Kara looks so vulnerable in it. It reminds me of when she asked Lee if he'd leave Dee if she left Sam. It's rare to catch Kara like this but I think her love for him is pretty obvious too, she just reins it in a lot. I wonder what she was saying to him here.
5. Favorite fic. Again, favorite?! That's like impossible to choose. But I will choose Never Be Warm Again (http://stars-like-dust.livejournal.com/143353.html) by
6. Favorite Kara/Lee song. I'm liking Landslide (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WM7-PYtXtJM) by Fleetwood Mac these days for them. It reminds me of part 3 of my story, Circuit, where I gave Kara and Lee a long, happy life complete with grandchildren. I so feel they are beyond the series now. When I think about Kara and Lee, just so many years have gone by and they are still together. Somewhere.
7. Favorite K/L vid. This is a tough one as I haven't been watching K/L vids lately since someday I'd like to make my own. (Don't wait for it, it will be a long while.) Hmm. Today I wanted to link to Fear by Lilith but the link is sadly gone. :-( I wanted to rec a vid that maybe people haven't seen and I haven't recced in a while. Hmm. So instead I'll rec Chocolate (http://jessicaj.angstnromance.net/) (for dl only) by

Date: 2010-04-26 02:57 pm (UTC)Same here :). But I already knew that your fave K/L moment what the raptor scene. Definitely one of my faves too.
I am still pondering about my Kara favorite moment (that's why I skipped the question, heh). So though. I really loved the one you mention, I was so happy to see her smiling again.
The pic! hehe. That is definitely one of my all time faves. Oh, the UST!
Can you believe that I don't know if I've read "Never Be Warm Again"? *g* I can't remember which was my first K/L fic (I guess something by daphnaea or leda13, and I was impressed), I read so many in a matter of days! (yup, I was totally obsessed).
"Landslide" is lovely. Part 3 of Circuit always was my fave :)

You've never read it? Well, that makes me glad I recced one of my old faves. After five years of reading K/L fic (a good new one this very morning) I firmly believe you can never ever read all the fic out there on them. There are always old ones you've missed or new ones being created right now somewhere. Pilots!fic keeps going and this is a good, good thing. :-)
I'm glad you liked Landslide. And I reread your comments to Circuit yesterday. Comments like those make me want to write another K/L story! Hee!
ETA: And I didn't realize you were driving the DPP train this week. Eeep! (I haven't quite realized I'm in another week yet!)

Date: 2010-04-26 03:44 pm (UTC)I am not sure if I haven't read it --I'll have to check out later, because I am pretty sure I've read all Claira's fic!

That's true. And even though some good authors stopped writing K/L a while ago, right now there are really talented writers creating new stories and keeping the torch burning. I love it.

Aw, you know I love writing epic comments (when I have time, that is ;P). And how much I'd love to see more DB's K/L fic? Very much ;)
