Slightly Ajar by tjonesy (MA)

Hey, everyone! I'm Dasha and I'm here to wildly drive the van through BSG country. My favorite pairing is Adama/Roslin, so we'll probably see a lot of recs in that vein, but expect a few surprises, too. Please fasten your seatbelt and I hope you don't mind if I play the stereo really, really loud. Right now I'm really into the Ting Tings, so let's blast "Shut Up and Let Me Go" and take off!

Fandom: BATTLESTAR GALACTICA
Pairing: Adama/Roslin
Length: Seven-part series
Author on LJ: tjonesy
Author Website: Fanfic tag
Why this must be read: Humor fics don't always get the credit they truly deserve, in my experience. Deep, dark, angsty pieces get praise and kudos and recs galore, but truly hilarious stuff is sometimes overlooked. Don't overlook this absolutely funny story.  And don't read while eating or drinking anything that you might choke on. Without spoiling you, let me say that Roslin gets Adama into a situation that becomes more farcical and embarassing by the second. Somehow, in the midst of the rapidly accelerating madness, the characters still manage to stay in character and the laughter keeps on coming. This is a perfect fic if you're in a down mood and need a good, cleansing laugh.

Normally, I'd provide an excerpt here, but I really don't want to give away the premise.  Just go read it!

This is so very true. Sometimes I think "OMG, I'm sobbing now" is the highest praise people have. Sure, there are plenty of wonderful dark angsty fics to go along with the dark angsty show, but sometimes change is good. :)

And I heartily support this as your first rec. This one must not be missed.

*giggling like a nut* Ah, this fic...

I'm looking forward to your rec stint - hopefully you'll put up something I haven't read before! I read way too quickly, and I've gone through everything on Survival Instinct. Sigh.
