Daily Pilots Post: The Favorite Meme

[cosetteferaud.livejournal.com]

Hello 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).

Your favorite K/L scene. And why?

Probably the finger painting from Act of Contrition. It's a view of playful pilots that we rarely see following s1.


Your favorite Kara/Starbuck moment. And why?

Today it's the final scene between Kara and Leoben in the Exodus arc.

Ask me again tomorrow (or later today) and it'll be totally different

Your favorite Lee/Apollo moment. And why?

The speech during the Baltar trial in Crossroads. It's that one moment where he finally lets go of everything without worrying about what he's going to lose...because he's already lost it all.

Your favorite pic of them? (evidence would be muchly appreciated!)



Your favorite K/L fic?

Gods, this is so hard!!! But if I'm going to pick one fic that I never get tired of, it's going to be Icarus (http://users.livejournal.com/wisteria_/820354.html) by wisteria_. Kara still flies into the storm in Maelstrom, but she does it because she is at peace with everything, and she knows that she'll come back. And the back and forth between Lee in the present, and Kara leading up to her final flight is wonderful.

Your favorite K/L song?

Unfinished Business (http://listen.grooveshark.com/#/s/Unfinished+Business/1SeRZK) by White Lies

Just give me a second, darling, to clear my head
Just put down those scissors, baby
On the single bed
The sand in the hour glass is running low
I came through thunder, the cold, wind, the rain and the snow
To find you awake by your window sill
A sight for saw eyes, and a view to kill

I broke down in horror at you standing there
The glow from the moon shone through cracks in your hair
I shouted with passion “ I love you so much”
But feeling my skin, it was cold to the touch
You whispered where are you?
I questioned your doubt
But soon realised you were talking to God now

You got blood your hands
And I know it’s mine
I just need more time
So get of your low, let’s dance like we used to
But there’s a light in the distance, waiting for me
I will wait for you
So get of your low, let’s kiss like we used to

I looked in the mirror, but something was wrong
I saw you behind, but my reflection was gone
There was smoke in the fireplace as white as the snow
A voice then come gently “It’s your time to go”
A requiem played, as you beg for forgiveness
“Don’t touch me” I screamed
I’ve got unfinished business

I am so torn when it comes to choose a favorite Kara moment... But the Kara and Leoben interaction in the New Caprica arc is powerful to say the least. Feisty, broken Kara. And I think I agree with you about Lee's fave moment, his speech in Crossroads is just incredible.

Love "Icarus" too! (well, all wisteria_'s stuff, really). Now I feel like re-reading this one, I read it a long time ago!

And I have to check out "Unfinish Business", I am not sure if I've ever heard it! :)

I think it's impossible to pick a true FAVORITE Kara moment for me because she changes so much every episode. But that scene...where she gives in to what Leoben wants so that she can get Kacey out of there is so incredibly damaging to Kara and just about everyone else around her that I've always loved it.

And yes, everything wisteria_ writes is wonderful! I actually think Icarus was one of the first of her fics that I read.

I first heard the song in a fanmix that was posted at beyond_insane, and it's been my favorite of favorite pilot songs since that first time.
