DDP: Guilty Pleasure

[jeebs83.livejournal.com]

I'm not having the best of weeks so I thought we'd talk about something that normally cheers me up. Love it or hate it, everyone seems to have an option about...


BABYFIC!

When it's done right (sometimes even if it's done wrong), there's no denying there's some great fic out there to read. What is your opinion on it? Is it a love/love, or love/hate? So let me have your best recommendations.

Here's my list:

Unexpected Consequences by CrysWimmer on ff.net.
Now, this probably isn't the best written fic out there, but it was one of the first fics I read where Kara and Lee had a child. I still like to go back for a re-read every now and then.

Insanity Underrated by amidala_thrace
In case you're living under a rock, this fic is still a WIP but there's usually a chapter or two a week. One of the best representations I've seen of Kara and Lee having a child together.

Without by ez_as_pi
This is one of my all-time favorite fics. Stop what you're doing and go read. I can't wait for her to post the sequel.

Lies I Not Need To Tell by ez_as_pi
Sort-of AU - What if the move to New Caprica took and everyone settled down. Now what happens when Kara wants a child and Sam can't have any because of his time spent on Caprica. Who does she turn to?

Also, does anyone have any good recommendations where either Kacey ends up staying with Kara or is really her daughter? I really don't see enough of those fics anywhere!


Kacey and Kara thank you for your time.

Not gonna lie, nothing has me exiting out of a fic faster than Kara and Lee and a baby makes three. The one exception is if I didn't know the story was going to become baby!fic and by the time I did realize it, I was too engrossed in it to stop reading (yeah amidala_thrace I'm looking at you).

I'm curious, when you talk about "Kara and lee and a baby makes three," do you just mean the sort of happy ending, porch swing style of fic? Or anything involving pregnancy/babies? For instance, what about a fic like "Places to Stand" in which Lee and Kara have to deal with an unwelcome change in their lives?

[cynicalshadows.livejournal.com]

If the baby comes at the end of the fic, I am usually okay with that. I like Kara and Lee getting a happy ending. But if the main premise of the fic is Kara being pregnant and them having the baby and being a cutesy little family, I usually am not interested because a lot of the times the fluff overload annoys the hell out of me.

Do you have a link to "Places to Stand"? It sounds like a baby!fic that I might actually enjoy.

Yeah, the fluff overload can be a little...much. Personally, I dig the cutesy stuff but in a sort of self-indulgent kind of way. But my favorites of the genre are the more realistic ones, without the 'happily ever after' kind of thing. Anyway, here's places to stand (http://stars-like-dust.livejournal.com/190156.html) by stars-like-dust.
