Why this must be read:
A description of this story involves spoilers for the recently-aired finale, so I’ll put it under a cut.
A gorgeous story about the rest of Lee Adama's life; exploring the new world, finding his place, keeping his promise to Kara and eventually gaining a little bit of peace. I never would have expected that Lee would be the character I felt most sorry for in the end, and this makes me feel a little better about his lonely fate. Heartbreaking and beautiful.
He dreams more, now. Some nights he wakes in the middle of them and gasps for air, thinks he's on a failing ship.
Laura. His father. Dee. Zak. Kara. It becomes a mess in his mind and in those moments he can no longer tell what he dreamed and what he lived.
He wakes one night to find himself at the edge of the cliff, rain pelting down and stinging his skin. His mind is blissfully empty and for a moment, for a moment he thinks of staying there, on the edge, until his tired legs give out.
But some part of his fuzzy mind remembers making a choice, years ago, Kara's voice in his ear and breath dancing on his skin. He steps back and curls into a wet ball on his pallet.
