Why this must be read: Zarek/Roslin is one of those twisted little "guilty pleasure" ships. This well-written and in-character piece examines Tom's feelings on his relationship with Laura and his position in her government. Even if this ship isn't your cup of tea, I would give it a try. It made me a shipper.
Excerpt:
They worked well together.
He did everything she told him to do, and although he didn’t always do so without complaint, they both knew what the ultimate outcome would be once she gave an order. She knew he didn’t want to be booted out an airlock. He knew she and Adama were perfectly willing to flush him away if they deemed it in the best interest of the fleet; in fact, he knew that the only reason he’d avoided that treatment was Laura’s interest in keeping him on. To work for her. Her second-in-command, in title at least.
Strange, how he was as good as invisible once he’d accepted her terms and she had resumed the top office. He did her work invisibly, which was often useful to her, so at least he was being of use. A cog in the machine, which was the last role he would have ever envisioned for himself… sometimes it sickened him to realize he was good at it.
