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.

Fic by njborba
'All Is Not Loss'
'The Long Way Home'
'Wing and a Prayer'

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.

I love babyfic! I'm gonna have to come back with some recs when I've got the chance. I know some Kacey fics too.

[stripes13.livejournal.com]

Babyfic!!!! I've been obsessed with IU for a while now

Kacey is ADORABLE!! As for the Kacey question...I remember reading one where Julia dies during the Exodus and when Kara finds out that Kacey isn't hers she panics, but eventually agrees to keep her (I make it sound like Kacey is a toy)...Can't remember the title/author, but I'll look through my bookmarks for it...

Not quite babyfic (for Kara and Lee at least) but I really, really like wisteria_'s Imperative (http://users.livejournal.com/wisteria_/560606.html) (there are many parts, that's just part one) but it's wonderful and so heart breaky. But great K/L fic.

[rdave1.livejournal.com]

Is that buckbeakbabie's Golden Slumber?

[thrace-adama.livejournal.com]

rayruz's "Not the Colonial Dream" parts I and II are favorites of mine, and I do love the pregnant Kara stuff in the epilogues of Tara and Bee's Smutstrav...

[stripes13.livejournal.com]

Yeah, haven't read it in a while tho...

[jeebs83.livejournal.com]

Oh that one is really good! I always liked to imagine there was a sequel to it.
:)

[workerbee73.livejournal.com]

Hee. Maybe one day we'll finally get that baby born..... ; P

[rdave1.livejournal.com]

I love baby!fics! One of my favorites is As the Earth she Revolves by Cranberry Jei. I don't know if that's a baby fic or not since the kid is a toddler.

Also, stardust_20's magnus opus Bright Shiny Future in which Kara and Lee have a son together.

Btw, njborba did a short sequel to Wings and a Prayer about the new family and first snow fall.

[rdave1.livejournal.com]

I don't think it has been updated since last year because the author use to leave some crazy cliff hangers.

[workerbee73.livejournal.com]

What was the fic where Kara gets pregnant but then disappears into the fleet and Lee searches for her-- and OMG it's so fluffy but I just love it. It's the one where he asks her out on a date afer he finds her but hasn't figured out that she has a baby...

Anyone?

[stripes13.livejournal.com]

Did you manage to convince your collaborators to name the kid Tobias Zakary Adama?

[cosetteferaud.livejournal.com]

LOL. I must admit that I have never been especially fond of baby!fic, it's just not my thing when it comes to Kara/Lee... I think it changes their dynamic too much. BUT. I enjoy it if it's well-weitten and believable, so fic recs are very appreciated :)

(A great one is ”Not the Colonial Dream” (http://community.livejournal.com/tulipfic/59877.html#cutid1) by rayruz).

Great recommodations, I'll have to check them out!
I remember a fic I read a while ago, in which Kacey is living with Kara (I don't remember if Kara was her mother but I think she wasn't) and it tunrs out Kacey is Lee's, but they don't tell him for a long while and when he finds out he goes completely mental for while.

I was looking for it recently but couldn't find it, anyone else read it and remember the title?

[workerbee73.livejournal.com]

Oh, I remember that one! I remember likeing it but it's been forever since I read it so I don't remember a lot....

[shah-of-blah.livejournal.com]

I think you're talking about latte's "Inescapable Darkness," sadly removed.

[workerbee73.livejournal.com]

What was the one where Lee goes off on a Pegasus mission and comes back like years later and Kara had been pregant when he left but didn't tell him and by the time he gets back everyone thinks she's dead but she's really just been captured by cylons.....


Is it, As the Earth, She Revolves?

[stripes13.livejournal.com]

I think that's Legacy (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4606713/1/Legacy)?

It's an AU, Kara and Lee have a one night stand after he mother dies. She meets and gets involved with Zak while pregnant, and Adama takes her and Kacey on the Galactica following his death. Not one of my favs, but it was OK

[callmeonetrack.livejournal.com]

This is the first I'm hearing of it. Huh. Why Tobias? For the actor who played Zak's real name?

[workerbee73.livejournal.com]

Awww man, I really loved that one.

BRING IT BACK LATTE!!!! **sniffs and gives puppy eyes**

[workerbee73.livejournal.com]

That and the plethora of Toby fans who showed up to vote that day....

[stripes13.livejournal.com]

As in Tobias Zachary Ziegler (West Wing) if I remember right there was a thread in Bee's last bit where it was tossed around

[rayruz.livejournal.com]

OH! Also "Schisms" by lotus79.... it's a WIP but I love it and I want it to finish! Kara and Lee are briefly sexually involved after Zak's death (six years before the start of the series), and she vanishes. Lee finds her in the fleet after the fall of the Colonies... and she has a five-year-old son.

[callmeonetrack.livejournal.com]

Agreed and agreed on the rec. :)

I tend to like fics dealing with pregnancy much more than fics where they coo over a baby a lot. Places to Stand (http://stars-like-dust.livejournal.com/190156.html#cutid1) by Claira is probably my favorite.

[callmeonetrack.livejournal.com]

Oh. Random.
