no_takebacksIn lieu of thinky stuff, let's play a game today!
Scan the list of Pilots-related prompts below and choose one or more, and identify the first thought or concept related to it that comes to your mind. Then free write on the topic for five minutes, or make an icon or a macro, or post a 100-word (or longer) drabble, or rec a fic or vid that it reminds you of... ANYTHING GOES! The list includes some specific stuff but also some vague words that could have double meanings.
Apollo and Aurora (or Artemis)
beyond insane
close quarters
dance
eye contact
faith
guilty secret
hands
"l missed you."/"I missed you too."
journey
Kobol
last time
missed chances
no takebacks
oxygen depletion
pulling rank
quarters
ring
survival
"This seems familiar."
unison
viper jocks
wings
"Except me."/ "Especially you."
yin and yang

Apollo and Aurora
Date: 2010-05-20 04:30 pm (UTC)Or at least, Lee thinks he's flying. He's in the clouds again anyway, that much he knows. It's been so long. But the sky is blue and there's a bright sun shining on him and he wonders what happened to the dark of space.
But that's not right. Because his brain is suddenly telling him Galactica's been gone for years. For a moment, Lee loses all sense of time and place. After Galactica, there was Earth, he knows...or was it Kobol? His pulse races and his brain is fuzzy suddenly, like a picture that just won't come into focus, and he is alarmed.
Then he looks down and realizes he's not in a flight suit. More troubling still, he's not in a viper. Lee pushes back the sense of panic, and tries to focus. He seems to be in some sort of cart or carriage. A horse whinnies nearby and Lee looks up with shocked eyes to find a pair of stallions before him. The horses rear up suddenly in their harnesses and a familiar voice drifts to him.
"Come on, Apollo!" his head turns and his breath catches as he sees her face. It is not fuzzy, but distinct for once and achingly familiar. She's smirking, eyes wide and expectant, and she rolls them as he watches, her head tilting slightly. "We've been waiting for you," she chides, more gently than he's used to, and turns to a set of gates. She pushes them open and waits on the other side, beckoning him forward with pink-tipped fingers. He follows the line of her arm to her shoulder, bare and round and gleaming in the sunlight--and brushed by the feathery tips of a pair of enormous wings. Lee blinks. Those are new.
She catches him looking, like always, and winks, then turns her back to him and shifts her shoulders so the wings waggle. He laughs and Kara does too, the sound streaming back to him on the wind as she leads the way.
He follows.
