Fandom: Battlestar Galactica (Re-Imagined Series)
Rating: PG-13 (for a little violence and some swearing)
Characters: Gaius, Caprica, Lee, Helo, Sharon, Hera, Kara (sort of), and Cottle. Brief cameos by Jeannie, Derrick, Saul, and Ellen. Also, a small assortment of Centurion OCs (only two with prominent roles), a native OC, and a few OC colony children
Pairings: Gaius/Caprica, Helo/Sharon, hints of Lee/Kara
Genres: Character Study, Angst, Hurt/Comfort, Friendship, Fluff, Spirituality, and a smidge of Romance
Warnings: Animal attacks and related injuries. Also, HIGHLY INTROSPECTIVE AND PHILOSOPHICAL, especially the first half of the first chapter and most of the third. (Some people hate that stuff, so I give warning! XD)
Spoilers: The entire series, as this is a post-"Daybreak, Part 2" (series finale) tag.
Length: 6 chapters — over 28,500 words (around 54 pages)
Summary: Answers the question "What becomes of Gaius Baltar, Caprica Six, the Agathon family, and Lee Adama, after the colonies settle on Earth?" One night, seven years after landing, they get together and reminisce about an event that occurred a few months after Galactica reached Earth....
Notes: I really enjoyed the finale of the series, and feel it ended just fine, but fic-wise, I wanted to take things a little further as far as the characters' personal stories went. Baltar is my fave character, and redemption is one of my fave story themes, especially when enemies become friends (and extra-especially when that involves hurt/comfort). I enjoy philosophical discourse on the nature of God/good & evil/morality/how things are never really one-sided, too. Basically this fic is about how Baltar comes to see himself when all is said and done, as well as how others come to see him — and how they come to see themselves through interaction with him. Also, I was always annoyed by the lack of meaningful interaction with the Centurions on the show, so in my version of the future, some Centurions chose to stay behind. Also, I'm a happy endings kind of gal, big time, so it's sappy. XD (Although it's not a happy ending for the lion in the story. And I'm a Leo! Shame on me!) Hey, this is fanfic — I'm not getting paid to do it, so of course it's self-indulgent. But I hope people will find it entertaining anyway. ;) And finally, many thanks to my friend Dennis for inadvertently giving me an idea of something to do with Kara.
Soundtrack: (This is what I listened to while writing, to put me in the mood, not songs for specific scenes.)Jamie Cullum's "The Simple Life"; Carolina Liar's "Coming to Terms", "Show Me What I'm Looking For", "Simple Life", "Something to Die For", "Beautiful World", "California Bound", and "Done Stealin'"; and Take That's "Rule the World" |

Being the Hewlett fan I've become in recent months, when I heard that someone had posted clips of his old show, Traders -- in particular, the Grant Janksy scenes from the first season (possibly just the first half-season? I don't know how many eps there were per season) -- I rushed over to give it a look-see, and totally fell in love with it. It lasted for 5 years, so I imagine it must have a following ... so where in the Seven Hells is the bloody fanfic for it?? All I've found is a really cute SGA/Traders crossover where Grant is Rodney's cousin (and I can only find the first half!). (They're couuusiiins, identical cousins, and you'll fiiiind .... OOps, sorry, Patty Duke flashback ...) Surely there must be more? And no, I'm not looking to write any at the mo, considering how little I know of the series from just those snippets. Anyway, can anyone point me to more? Specifically Grant-centric. Grant/Donald (friendship or slash of the NON-PWP variety) in particular, but really, so long as Grant's the center of attention, I'll take anything.
Please? With Splenda on top?
