no_takebacksThere was going to be a quiz today, but life took over my preparations for it, so we'll have that on Friday instead.
For today, your prompt (to be interpreted as literally or liberally as you like) is:
misfits
As before, feel free to come up with anything as a response - an icon, a drabble, an acrostic...And if it turns out not to fit the prompt, just post it anyway - I'm not keeping score, or anything. :)
Secondly, I have a feeling this has been done before, so I apologise if I'm repeating anything, but what do you think would have happened to Kara and Lee if the Cylon attack hadn't come when it did? Chance brought them together on Galactica, but without the attack, Lee, at least, would have been on his way afterward - no reconciliation with his father, and just a few joky encounters with Kara, his dead brother's fiancee.
...or would it have happened like that? Maybe they'd have got drunk together after the presentation (in the brig? :P), maybe confessed a few feelings...and maybe then still gone their separate ways, because life goes on, right? No need to admit you have feelings for someone you shouldn't unless the world's about to end.
How do you think their lives might have intersected? How about if the Cylon attack had come a year later, by which time they were in an established relationship? How would that have affected the way they fought? Would they have been more careful? Less? Would we have been so invested in their relationship without all that unresolved sexual tension?
Discuss. :)

Drabble: Misfits (100 words)
Date: 2010-07-29 03:32 am (UTC)Are you kidding? He touches her cheek below the latest bruise. Kara Thrace, best pilot the academy's ever known, a misfit?
You're an Adama. The perfect officer, the perfect fighter, always making the right decisions. Her hand skims over his, hesitates.
And I hate it, he says.
You hate what it stands for, she corrects, not the thing itself.
He shrugs. Let's both be our own misfits.
Their hands fit perfectly, she thinks, and notices the gleam in his eye.
Their mouths fit perfectly, too.
