Daily Pilots Post
Hi everyone,
This post is going up a little earlier than usual because it's a bit of Friday fun.
Firstly, your prompt for the day: One Crowded Hour, which is the title of a song (youtube link alert) by Augie March. Lyrics are here. Feel free to use the title, the song or the lyrics as your prompt, and it's the usual drill - post anything you like in response, as long as it's to do with Kara and Lee!
Today is quiz time. Below the cut are sets of Lee and Kara quotes - can you name the episodes they come from?
1. You know the President says that we're saving humanity for a bright, shiny future. on Earth. That you and I are never gonna see. We're not. Because we go out over and over again until someday, some metal motherfrakker is gonna catch us on a bad day and just blow us away. (2.15 Scar)
2. Apollo, you magnificent bastard, that was one hell of a piece of flying and I couldn't have done it better myself. (1.10 - Hand of God)
3. You are the worst CAG in the history of C.A.G.S, actually. (1.04 - Acts of Contrition)
4. Lords, it's Kara Thrace. I'm running a little low on O2 and I could use a lucky break. No? Okay, just thought I'd mention it. (1.05 - You Can't Go Home Again)
5. Me in a dress is a once in a lifetime opportunity. (1.11 - Colonial Day)
6. You know, everyone I know... is fighting to get back what they had. And I'm fighting 'cause I don't know how to do anything else. (2.02 Valley of Darkness)
7. So she either says "Yes, sir" and obeys a direct order, or you smack her in the mouth, and you drag her sorry ass down to sick bay, and you make her take those pills. (From 1.01 - 33)
8. I’m not a commodity, I’m a viper pilot. (2.05 The Farm)
9. Screaming at people doesn't always get the best results, sir. I learned that at officer candidate school. (1.03 - Bastille Day)
10. You can't take it back. There's no take-backs. (2.06 Home)
11. (Whiplash: Hey, that's 48 kills right there.) Starbuck: Special. Do you have caps and t-shirts too? (2.10 Pegasus)
1. So, um, that bum knee of yours is looking pretty good. And the other one's not too bad either. (1.11 - Colonial Day)
2. But you can tell my father that I'm listening to my instincts and my instincts tell me that we cannot sacrifice our democracy just because the President makes a bad decision. (1.13 - Kobol's Last Gleaming)
3. Boy, when you take a souvenir, you don't screw around. Oh, my gods, you smell like a latrine. (1.05 - You Can't Go Home Again)
4. The name of my Commander is Adama, which should be pretty easy to remember, because it's my name. (2.10 Pegasus)
5. Listen, you are fine, you're fine with the dead guys. It's the living guys you can't deal with. (2.15 Scar)
6. Apollo: Sometimes you got to roll a hard six.
Jammer: Wh-what does that mean, sir?
Apollo: Uh... I don't know. It's something my dad says. (2.02 Valley of Darkness)
7. Come on, Starbuck, you can do it. Ahh, that smarts. Yeah, that smarts, but I don't care...I don't care, because your pain is my entertainment. (1.07 - Six Degrees of Separation)
8. That's it, isn't it? You don't want elections, you don't want your freedom. You want a bloodbath. (1.03 - Bastille Day)
9. I just want you to know, Kara, that I'm your friend. I love you. (2.06 Home)
10. But don't worry, I told Tigh that you wouldn't know Caprican poetry if it was hot-soldered across your helmet. (2.08 Final Cut)
* Most of these conversations are between Kara and Lee. This wasn't entirely intentional, but I'm glad it turned out that way!
* Comments are screened so you can all guess away to your hearts' content. I'm off to bed now, but I'll be up in a few hours to unscreen any drabbles or other responses to the drabble prompt.

One Crowded Hour
Lee had been bleeding for forty minutes now, with no medics to repair her damage. She’d told his father she didn’t know how critically he’d been hit, and it was still the truth. The dispassionate, battle-ready shield around her mind had cracked the moment he’d hit the ground. She sat curled around herself, uselessly replaying the angles, but her mind was as much a traitor as her body. In her memory, the shock in his eyes blinded her to the point of impact. She couldn’t see it.
The marine beside her, gasping in agony, felt as far away as Sam and Earth and the anger of this morning.
She closed her eyes, fingers bent around her clunky handset, and made herself focus on the images that panic had blanked and blurred. It was a futile gesture – remembering the wound wouldn’t heal it. But she tried.
She’d looked up, and his head had craned over his shoulder...his right shoulder. One long string of blood had drifted to the floor...
She leaned over the side of her bench and threw up. The medics rushed her, but she hated them right now and she might have hit one. After another dark, jumbled fight, they withdrew. She heaved silently, blinked the sweat from her eyes and tried again, not caring who was watching.
A chest wound meant three checkpoints: heart, lungs, arteries. For almost an hour all she’d been able to see was the turn of his head and the line of his neck as he looked at her. Now the direction finally clicked. The blood was on the wrong side of his chest for the heart, and too near the shoulder to endanger his lungs unless it had ricocheted down from his clavicle. The possibility passed through her mind, but the inside of her eyelids bloomed white, refusing to allow the image. She clung to her slender, newfound hope: he was losing blood that no tourniquet could slow, but her aim probably hadn’t killed him. Yet.
Too right and too high. She missed his heart for the same reasons every time.
She prayed she always would.

And yes, I thought it was a fun idea that Kara missed his heart in a literal sense because the bullet hit too high and too far to the right, which was so close to the figurative sense in which she is always pulling back from him because it feels "too right" and like she's aiming "too high" to be with him.
