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. :)

Re: prompt: misfits, title: the forbidden zone, 2/2
Date: 2010-07-29 08:29 pm (UTC)"Of course you did," she replies, winking at him.
"Look, maybe I should just, you know, stay home," he offers. His mind isn't wandering to how he'll entertain himself while they're out, because obviously he'll just be watching television or taking a long, cold shower and not thinking about Kara. "I don't really know anything about this band anyway. The...Mishaps?"
She laughs so hard that it's really more of a guffaw. He doesn't find it ridiculously endearing, though, and if he does, it is only ridiculously endearing in a very fraternal, very platonic way. It doesn't give him a thrill to make her laugh like that, even if she's laughing because he's obviously said something stupid, even if he's never heard her laugh at anything Zak says like that, not that Lee's keeping score, of course, or at least, not that he's keeping score for any other reason than to one-up his kid brother. It's just a little brotherly competition, and no harm done. It's not like he loves her, not like that, not really.
"Misfits," she manages to say, still laughing. "Look, if you don't want to come with, can you at least come pick our drunk asses up after the show's over? I can't really get another drunk and disorderly this month."
"Yeah," Lee promises, relieved to have successfully avoided non-existent temptation for another day. Kara is out the door to go meet Zak a few minutes later, and in a few hours Lee knows he will be on the receiving end of a particularly hilarious drunk dial from his brother and the girl that he doesn't love, not really, and he'll head out into the cold night to save them from themselves. And he knows that much later he will fall into bed alone with nothing for company but the hope and the heartache that he is steadfastly ignoring, never straying into the world where he can love her, steering clear of the forbidden zone.
