Well, not really lasts per se, as that would imply something more definite...more like most recent.  I started this week talking about fandom firsts, and even though these DPPs were all pretty much unconnected, I like to have a nice set of bookends.  So today we are going to talk about lasts.

If you care to, you can talk about the last episode that you watched, or your final impressions of the show.  Personally, I'm just about all talked out when it comes to the finale, but you're welcome to discuss this to your heart's content. 

What about fandom lasts?  What's the last (read: most recent) fic you read?  Vid you watched?  Icon you snagged?  Community you started watching, or anything else of that ilk?

As for myself, I'm currently catching up on Crossing the Styx by [livejournal.com profile] kag523  (I'm getting there!).  And over on FFN, Until She Can't was just updated, to my great delight.  The most recent vid...well, I've been not really in a vid mood lately, so the latest one I saw was Honeythief (which is amazing!) many moons ago.  And I haven't uploaded any new icons in eons (too attached to my old ones).

But this post isn't just about whatever you happen to have read most recently.  I'd also like to take this opportunity to do a sort of mini 2010 recs list.  Often, when we're reccing stories we rec old favorites.  It makes sense--we've read them a million times and they are near and dear to our hearts.  But today I want to highlight current writers in our fandom, and new stories that may have gone more or less unremarked on.

A few stories that I have loved in the last few months:
Every Sense by [livejournal.com profile] rachelindeed  - They loved each other in every sense.  Five beautiful vignettes about pilots after Kara's death and return.
Needful Things by [livejournal.com profile] taragel  (remix of untitled ficlet by [livejournal.com profile] olaf47 ) - He thinks he can walk away.  He's wrong.  It's all about Lee and wanting things.  And it's gorgeous.

And then there's everything from [livejournal.com profile] pilotsbigbang .  Seriously.  I can't single out specific ones because I loved them all.  But here, have a round-up:
Rising Star by [livejournal.com profile] sci_fi_shipper  - Lee agrees to leave Dee for Kara, but there's one condition.
Not the Colonial Dream 3 by [livejournal.com profile] rayruz  - After an unexpected pregnancy, Kara and Lee attempt to make this whole... parenting thing work. But when the Cylons return to New Caprica, will their mission interfere with their family?
A Million Different Ways to Go
by [livejournal.com profile] ez_as_pi - AU in which Kara and Lee get together in the beginning of the series.
We're Not Friends
by [livejournal.com profile] ninety6tears  - When two soldiers in the middle of a war can't seem to like each other, baptism by fire is apparently the natural solution.
Though You Can Render No Reason by [livejournal.com profile] da_angel729  - Lee's mutiny and escape with Laura Roslin have repercussions he never could have imagined.
Till Your Dreams Hold Mine by [livejournal.com profile] ivanolix  - Kara and Lee lose Zak for good again, and Zak himself is lost, and the world will never be the same again. But how the world changes for Kara and Lee is going to affect the Cylons themselves.
The Cutting Edge
by [livejournal.com profile] taragel  - She's fire.  He's ice.  They just might be the perfect match.
Tinbox
by [livejournal.com profile] amaliak  (artfic) - "I want you to see how much you are loved."
The Breath Between by yours truly - Kara's return in Crossroads is not what it appears to be.
Did I miss any?  Let me know!

Bonus gen Kara recs:
Space Oddity (BSG/Lost) by [livejournal.com profile] aboutbunnies  - Mostly Kara and Kate.  But see, I'm not the only one who enjoys transplanting Kara to the island!
And okay this one's not exactly a Kara fic, but...Socrata Thrace and her Special Destiny by [livejournal.com profile] grey_sw  (remix) : This one blew me away.  It is now (along with two other excellent fics) one of my favorite stories about the complicated relationship between Kara and her mother.

What are your favorite Kara, Lee, or Kara/Lee stories from recent months?  Please feel free to rec vids or art as well--I would if I knew more about them!
