gah! I'm so sorry. I meant to reply to this a week ago, and it got put onto the same mental shelf as "reply to feedback!" *facepalm*
Yes, I'm pretty sure it was your fic. And it's a very good point, to be honest. The nepotism in the fleet was always ridiculous, not to mention handwaved to a massive degree wherein only people like Romo Lampkin would call it out.
And no one ever really did anything about it--or, if they did, like, say, Captains' Hand where whatsisface objects to Starbuck, they end up being wrong and dead.
I don't think I've ever seen a fic with Dee vs. Hoshi over Felix, though.
*blush* I haven't, either, I was just very tired and slap-happy, and my brain went from one thought to the other (I think I was stuck on the big bang or something and talking out loud to myself about stuff as I was driving, and stumbled across the idea).
