Why this must be read: Note-perfect femslash between two powerful, compelling women? Yes, please!pirateygoodness's Cain is manipulative and a little sadistic, her Starbuck eager to please and clever. Just how they oughta be. The flirtation and sex moves deliberately, and the wait is delightful agony for the characters and the reader.
"Captain Thrace," Cain finally says, voice low like it always is, but softer somehow. Like she's asking a question, instead of commanding a subordinate. "Do you like triad?"
"Yeah," Kara says, letting herself smile a little before she remembers who's asking. "Sir. Yes, sir."
Cain takes a few more steps, turns and leans in, until she's resting her elbows on the table next to Kara. Staring at that imaginary point in space, the one Kara's watching right now. The one soldiers like to stare at when they're at attention (or drinking alone). "I miss it," she says.
And this is the tricky thing about Admiral Cain. She does stuff like this - stuff that makes it easy to slip. Because the Starbuck part of Kara, right now, she just wants to clap Cain on the back and call her by a callsign she doesn't use anymore and say something like hey, let's go see if I can't win some of your hard-earned liquor. But this isn't the time - even if it feels like it is - for Starbuck. Captain Kara Thrace knows that. So she keeps staring at that point, and nods. "I'm not sure I understand, sir?"
Cain laughs - actually laughs - and shifts her weight to one elbow. She tears her gaze away from that invisible point, and looks right at Kara. "I've always loved a good game myself, Captain, but when you're the military leader for all of known civilization," another laugh. "It's hard to find someone to play with, who's willing to win."
Kara can't help it. She smiles, wide and easy, and turns to look Cain in the eyes. "I see." Waits a beat, and when Cain's eyebrow lifts just so, Kara smiles a little wider. "Sir."
Because, hey. If the military leader for all of known civilization wants to get her ass kicked at triad? Kara's not going to break her heart.
