no_takebacks | Kara/Lee fic recs: Colonial Day

I 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):

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. :)
