99 Bottles of Ambrosia

[scifishipper.livejournal.com]

Hello Kara/Lee Lovers! I am sci_fi_shipper and I'll be your happy driver this week. I'm gonna start us off with a game of sorts. We're going to do a variation on a theme taragel did a few months ago with the alphabet (here), but we're gonna use numbers instead.




Instructions: We'll count up from 1 to 99 (or higher if you want). For each number, write something about Kara/Lee that corresponds to it.

As the numbers get higher, there is no expectation of accuracy, so do some Starbuck thinking outside the box and get creative, e.g. 69 is well, we all know what it is, or 27: number of times Starbuck wanted to kiss Lee during the briefing, or 87: the year they got married - whatever makes your shipper heart happy!

We can do our best to keep the numbers in order, but don't worry if they're mixed up a bit and I totally expect duplicates - it's all good!


I'll get us started:

1: the One True Pairing: Kara and Lee

2: the number of spouses that got in the way

3: Bill, Lee & Zak: the three Adama men she loved

4: the number of months Kara was held by Leoben

63 is the lucky number of Kara's pyramid jersey from her second year draft. When she busts her knee, she decides that nothing can be lucky forever.

64 cords of wood piled up to dry. Then a summer of slaving to plane and chink them. The cabin is starting to shape up.

65 times their daughter asks "are we there yet?" before Lee turns around and shouts that he's going to "turn this raptor around right frakking now!" (Kara teases him later that Lee's the one responsible for her tongue AND her temper.)

66 minutes after he's shot in the Cloud 9 lounge, Kara's waiting outside sickbay, trying to force her legs to move in the last bit of the way.

67 doesn't seem old enough for someone to die. But Bill has lived a long time, and the winters here on Earth are hard. He closes his eyes and thinks of Laura.

68 feet from the house to woodshed, but Kara STILL manages to find the boat he's been working on for her birthday. She swears she could hear him pounding away on something.

69... is Kara's favorite number nowadays, she declares. Lee laughs and throws a pillow at her, blushing bright red.

70 different ways Lee considers asking Kara to marry him, and then she turns the table on him when she says "everyone's expecting it anyhow."

These are lovely. Each one. I can't really say which one is my favorite - maybe 67. 70 is also just so THEM. <3

Aww... thank you, Heather! *hugs* You make me feel so good! (We're going to make it 99 even if I have to do the last 29 myself.)

Hah! I was wondering how 69 was going to, er, play out ;-)

Beautiful job K. As always.
