Famous Last (and First) Words // Naming Our Baby, Part Two

[rachelindeed.livejournal.com]

Good morning!  I will soon post the promised poll so that we can give Kara the middle name she deserves, but at the moment it seems to be having formatting problems.  So let me just throw out a question for discussion until I can work out the kinks in the poll.  It seems that many of us were disappointed in the first meeting and/or last parting of Kara and Lee as portrayed in the series.  If it were completely up to you, what would their first words to each other have been?  Their last words to each other?  Or if you don't want to focus on dialogue, just describe the ideal scenario or scene you'd like them to play together at the opening and the closing of their story.  And if you have recommendations for fics that portray really great first or last meetings between them, please share them!

"death, when it comes, does feel like a rounding out and completion of their story rather than an end of it"

That is exactly what makes that one of my all time faves. I never thought I could be almost "happy" reading about Kara's or Lee's death. But that story managed to make me feel not exactly happy, but at peace. It was just so beautiful, so natural, and it didn't feel like the end at all. Simply perfect.

Wonderful poem. Really fitting.

I don't think I've read the fic you mentioned. It is now on my list. Thanks for the rec.

I have never seen Doctor Who (it seems that is something to be rectified) but I liked the "DUCK" idea. So funny. :D
