Why this must be read: First person stories rarely work for me but this short fic which the author's summary describes as a story "in which Kara is drunk and Lee is evil, but in a well-meaning way" is a note-perfect reading of the friendship, annoyance, rivalry and comfort that is the relationship of Starbuck and Apollo. The author's hand is deft and light in drawing out the situation and the characters. This story's short and sweet, but not at all cloying.
“Kara? Are you in here?”
It was Lee, standing in the hatchway, a black blob against the too-bright lights of the hallway. It figured it would be Lee; everyone else knew better than to bother me when I very clearly didn’t want to be bothered. Lee’s pretty smart, but sometimes he can be a real slow learner.
I thought about ignoring him until he went away, but he must have known I was there because he came in anyway, shutting the hatch behind him. Since ignoring wasn’t working, I decided to try anger. “What do you want?”
“I wanted to see how you were doing. Boomer mentioned that something was up...” Note to self: kill Sharon. But it might be best to save that for later when the room stopped spinning quite so much because Sharon’s a lot stronger than she looks and I’m not particularly fond of getting my ass kicked.
“I’m doing just great, thanks for asking. Bye.”

I enjoyed it. Funny what a fine line there is between Tigh and Kara. One mistake?one level of self loathing?
I bet Tigh was something at one point, how could Adama be wrong...
not as good as Kara but...*shrugs*
