Through the Cracks by lls_mutant (PG)
Fandom: BATTLESTAR GALACTICA
Pairing: Allusions to Gaeta/Baltar
Length: One-shot

Author website: In her memories
Why this must be read:
This fic is about five people who don't visit Felix Gaeta in sickbay, and the one person who did. The sections about Helo and Tyrol alone made this fic worthwhile for me, while the author's characterization of Starbuck made me smile. And Felix! Poor Felix.lls_mutant never actually shows us Gaeta's POV, but her descriptions of his interactions with the other characters helps us to understand what's going on in his mind.
Excerpt:
He tries a few more times to see Gaeta, but every time he makes it to the sick bay, Gaeta is sleeping, or suffering whatever other indignities Cottle can think to inflict on him. But he's trying to play XO, pilot, ECO, navigation, whatever Adama can think of today… he's trying to be a friend, a father, and a husband… he's trying to keep the Fleet and the ship and humanity and his life from falling apart, gluing together whatever cracks he can….
And the hours slip by without Helo returning to sick bay.
