crack_van | State of the Colonies by Isis (PG)

Sorry for the long rec-less space, my various vacations this month took over my life for a bit. I'm going to make up for it tonight with three recs in a row, which I wouldn't normally do. These three stories all have something in common and it's something that would normally scare people away; they're all about OCs. But I encourage you to give them all a chance, BSG is a great universe to play in and these authors have all done so brilliantly.

Why this must be read:

What do you do when you discover you're world is under attack? If you're President Adar, you discover quickly and terribly exactly how little even the leader of the colonies can do.

isis_uf takes a character mentioned but never seen in canon and brings him grandly to life. In a few brief lines she sketches a character who is believable, flawed and altogether human; a leader discovering how tenuous that leadership is, a powerful man discovering how impotent that power can be.
