Summary
Day Zero. Laura Roslin’s aide Alex is no fool: she knows something’s up and is worried sick about her beloved boss. When Lee Adama finds her having a quiet freak-out during the decommissioning reception, it’s the sincere concern he shows that knocks her for six. They work together during those first terrible hours on Colonial One, and she falls for him—too hard, too fast.
Closely observed retelling of the series, shifted by Alex’s presence and filtered through her POV, with increasing (though not dramatic) canon divergence. Lee POV mixed in from Scar onwards, and later some Kara and Sam, too.
I’m currently posting Razor and writing the colonization period. The next twenty-five chapters are solid, though still being revised. Podfic is posted as next work in this series, temporarily paused at Chapter 136 (Scar) because I’m concentrating on writing.
Largely 2002, 2003 soundtrack accompanying, set up in Apple Music if you want to drop me a comment.

In one such expedition, Yamaguchi Hitoshi unknowingly stumbled into a cosmic conspiracy, dragging the UNSC along with her.
This one 'happy' accident would lead to a budding friendship between factions that somehow lasts longer than it should have, given the circumstances, all the while those involved are tempting fate by fighting a war of survival against rebellious robots with parental issues.
As it turns out, there's more to the conflict than anyone had ever realized.

Summary
The day Admiral Cain kills the commander of the Galactica is the last day anyone on board the Battlestar Pegasus hears Lee Adama or Kara Thrace speak.
...if they do speak when they’re not on duty, no one else on board the Pegasus is around to hear it. For two months following the death of the Galactica commander, they fall silent. They never talk to anyone. Not in the mess, not in the gym, not in the bunkrooms. They keep to themselves, sitting alone and off to the side at dinner, disappear quickly after their shifts. No one tries to get them to talk, not even Taylor and the rest of the pilot corps. Everyone knows why they’ve set themselves apart, even if the official story won’t cop to it. Because, of course, Lee Adama is far from the only member of the Pegasus crew forced into service under the woman who murdered their family. So the Pegasus crew leaves them alone to their silence.
And then they’re gone.
Commander Adama backs down from the mutual assassination attempt. Admiral Cain does not.
What follows involves long-buried truths, a lot of lies, and a vow of silence.

Summary
I could marry this woman, he thinks suddenly, like a flash of lightning. They hadn’t been going out very long, just barely out of the fun, silly part of their relationship and into the deepening phase, but Zak thinks he might marry her. He’s kept his I love you buried unsaid, afraid to run her off, but he feels it...It will be perfect. It will all be in order. So say we all.
They say to make plans is to make the gods laugh. Zak doesn’t realize quite how quickly this perfect plan is about to begin unraveling.
The end begins mere seconds later, when the door opens and his brother steps through.
Lee and Kara meet slightly earlier than in canon and the connection between them is instantaneous and undeniable. It ruins Zak Adama’s life. And then, it saves it.
Three years later, the end of the world forces him to consider forgiveness.

Summary
SPOILERS: I don’t think this fic has spoilers other than what aired in S2. But there is speculation of the coupling kind based on S2: Flight of the Phoenix.
SUMMARY:This is a ‘nugget slang’ fic and a sequel to Shoot Your Shade. Which was a sequel to Burn the Pipe. It has a number of chapters, but I am changing them a little, since this was written so many years ago. Lee shot his shade (overreacted) last time out when he learned about Anders and dumped Kara cold. Now the path to togetherness is about to be iced, that is made smooth and easy. They just need to let go of their past baggage and glide into their mutual attraction. All of my fics should be considered for mature, adult readers, but they are generally no more graphic than a regency romance novel.
