Why this must be read: This fic takes a brief look at what might have happened to some of the crewmembers of the Galactica if the cylons had never attacked. It contains the pairings I mentioned but also features gen snippets about Starbuck, Commander Adama, Roslin and Tigh. Ana_grrl does a great job with subtle nuances of characterization and with creating believable alternate futures for our favorite characters.
It comes to her suddenly, a bright flash of clarity and understanding. It happens while she's watering the orchid Galen gave to her for their second anniversary. The plant is hardier than she'd expected, the flowers a deep purple shot through with acid green and white. She's loved the orchid from the first time she'd seen Galen holding it, and now, looking at the waxy leaves, she's suddenly aware of the fragility of the life around her. She knows how easily it could end, how many she could kill without blinking an eye.
She knows the truth, and it's horrible.
"Cylon," Sharon mutters, staring at a drop of water on a green leaf. "Cylon."
Everything comes to her, unfolding, layer after layer. Her model, the reason she was given for existing. The cylon plan for humanity, expected to have been implemented four years ago. Cylon frequencies, ways she can establish contact with other copies of this model. Ways she can ask questions without blowing her cover.
She has so many questions.
