It's not that cold...
1. LEVERAGE. HOW ARE YOU SO AWESOME?
2. I GOT DEE AND KENDRA IN THE MAIL TODAY. Less capslocks. OMG YOUGUYS. Dee comes with the ballot box from the Persephone. *cackles* AND BALLOTS. This is almost as good as Caprica and D'Anna and THE ROCK. Kendra comes with the wee canister she stored her drugs in. *snickers really hard*
3. Er. I also got another Leland Adama. He can hold an Andes creme de menthe thin. (he comes with Dee and there is that one promo shot where they're kissing on the back of the container. Heeeeeee)
4. There is now an officer/nco/pilot femslash orgy next to my computer (Kat was looking bored).
5. I may have given Kara children. Again. But. Um. I had instigation! (I've also plowed through about a third of what I want to write before Friday's episode where I will probably be Ronned and Jossed in equal measure).
*subjects you all to sugary ficlet*
"Erin Jean Thrace and Katherine Valerii get your little behinds down here!"
At four years old and a few weeks, they'd thought they were being stealthy. The shout from the room below made both little girls freeze in their tracks before Kitty took off for the back stairwell. Erin was right behind her, figuring that it couldn't hurt to go down that way. Her mom was in the front of the house, after all.
"Frog?" Kitty suggested over her shoulder before her feet found the first steps and they were pelting down them.
"Has to be!" Erin agreed, glancing back and almost tripping over Kitty when she stopped dead.
"Can I help you two?" Sharon Agathon stood at the bottom, an amused smile ghosting the corners of her mouth.
"Hi, 'Thena," said Erin, her smile dimpling cutely as she waved at one of her favorite people.
Smile deepening, Sharon raised her eyebrows at them, "Where are you off to in such a hurry?"
"Nowhere," suggested Kitty a little too quickly.
"Uh-huh. Not trying to get out of the house before Starbuck catches you, right?"
"Nope!" Both little girls chorused, beaming at 'Thena, as though they were completely innocent.
Unfortunately for them, one of them resembled a sneaky Kara Thrace and the other looked resoundingly like Sharon's eldest when she knew she was in trouble. "C'mere," Sharon said, holding out her hands.
The two girls exchanged a glance, then with a resigned air they went down the steps, letting Athena take their hands at the bottom and tug them through the kitchen. To their delight, instead of taking the inner door that led further into the house (and Erin's mother), Athena led them out into the garden and released their hands.
She bent and whispered, her voice very conspiratorial, "I don't know what you did and I don't care. Now, run!"
Without a backwards glance, the two linked hands and took off across the yard and out into the field beyond, disappearing into the stalks of corn that were growing well this year.
"They put a frog in my desk," Kara said from behind Sharon, her voice exasperated.
Glancing back, Sharon grinned, "Starbuck, you afraid of a frog?"
"No, but it peed all over the reports I owe Dee." Looking annoyed, Kara glared, then relented. "Just wait until you're stuck with helping the new CAG sort out raptor schedules next week."
"What, you don't think Madame President will accept that excuse?" Laughing, Sharon turned her face up to the sun and closed her eyes. "I can't do raptor schedules next week, Roslin has me chasing the older kids around a field every afternoon. Hotdog's on his own."
"Gods. Why did we let that woman retire and teach again?"
Turning back, Sharon shouldered past Kara, laughing again, "Because it was either that or listen to the old man whine about how he never got to see her."
"Gods." Kara shuddered and followed her back into the house. "Want a beer?"
"That the new brew Tyrol worked on?"
"Yeah. It's not as good as the batch Laird cooked up last year, but it'll get there, with age and time."
Sharon Agathon chuckled as she took the cool bottle from Kara. "You ever think it would come to this?"
A snicker escaped Starbuck and she turned her chair around, dropping into it and draping her arms over the back, "You ever think you'd get a chance to nail Helo?"
"Oh, frak you," Sharon laughed and threw her bottle-cap at Kara.
"If we take pictures, Sam and Karl can be jealous."
"And Lee?"
"Lee doesn't have the imagination."
Both of them snickered again.

I assume that Chief and Boomer got together in the end?
Oh, this is just......sweet.

Technically, it's sort of Daybreakverse, and Boomer is actually with Lee, but Nicky thinks of her as his mom.
And Hotdog would actually make a good CAG, now that I've thought about it. Sure, he's young now, but he's got decent chops and he's been there for a long time.
