Kara/Lee fic recs: Colonial Day
Nov. 2nd, 2009 05:49 pmI know I'm jumping the gun a bit here, since we haven't even re-watched the ep yet, but guys--it's Colonial Day!!! Arguably the kindest episode to Kara/Lee and pilots shippers, and definitely one of those episodes that sparked a ton of great fic. So before joining in on the rewatch liveblog tonight (10pm EST--you know you want to be there!), please feel free to help me get the party started early by recommending your favorite Colonial Day Kara/Lee fic here! The goal of these posts is to create as comprehensive a list as possible of fics relating in some way to each episode as a sort of archive, so all recs are welcome.
I have read *so many* amazing stories set in this time period, but here's a sampling (mainly snerched from
whatimages's rec list, actually, because wow is it a good one):
Colonial Day
A Tyrant Spell , by
voleuse, and their sequels Steal a Flowering Branch and The Sea Circle
Not Frakking by
somewhereapart
Clean by
meyerlemon
Lips That Would Kiss by
plumunited
Colonial Day/KLG speculation
Only Words by
carricksdoor
Post-Colonial Day and/or Pre-KLGI
Contrecoup by
mercurial_wit (aka
fahye)
Battle Tactics by
misdeed
A Garden Enclosed by
meyerlemon
One more note: After the rewatch of KLGII wraps up, expect a S1 roundup post with links to the fic rec posts for each episode. I figure that might be handy. :)

There are a bunch of other Lee!gasm confession fics out there, but most of them take place much later in the series than CD or KLG I/II and are spoilery...do folks want them now or later? :)

Date: 2009-11-05 03:42 am (UTC)I personally held off on the Lee!gasm stuff for this post just b/c we don't learn about that until the cold open of KLGI, but honestly I think (since it does happen the night of Colonial Day) they work for either post. Or, hell, both posts! Why not?! It's a rewatch comm, so the spoilers aspect doesn't worry me much.
