"Stranded" by HeidiM (NC-17)

Fandom: BATTLESTAR GALACTICA 1978
Pairing: Starbuck/Apollo
Author on LJ: None
Author Website: Apollolover
Why this must be read: The premise of "Stranded" is typical enough: Apollo and Starbuck are temporarily "castaway on a planet." What makes this story special is that beneath the banter and sex, we get a glimpse of societal pressures and the roles people are expected to play in the tiny, suffocating environment of the Fleet. The end result is a story that is still as hot and enjoyable as you'd expect from HeidiM, but with a slightly gritty feel underpinning everything, and that's the aspect I enjoy most.
