Why this must be read: Good Hoshi fic is hard to find, and for good reason. Let's face it- as much as I love the man, he's more of a function than a character, and he really only got any personality in the webisodes, and even then not much. Of course, such a blank slate makes great ficcing material, if you like to develop your own characters, andmillari obviously has a lot of fun doing just that with Hoshi.
The Gaeta/Hoshi relationship was definitely tacked on, and with some of the other scenes, I sometimes wonder how much the writers thought about the implications. Butmillari really fleshes those implications out in this fic about Louis coping with the mutiny and losing Felix, and one possible interpretation of what their relationship prior might have been like. Because really, how Louis Hoshi must have felt and coped after the mutiny is worthy of its own story, and it's a shame the show never gave it to us.
In a way, it's funny that I'm reccing this. I'm a total Gaeta/Hoshi shipper, not because I think they belong together (see earlier note about Hoshi being a function more than a character), but because I really, really like the idea that Gaeta had some happiness sometime after New Caprica. And this fic is not happy. It's messy and sad and bleak, although there is definitely a light of hope at the end. This one wrings the heart dry, and I think it's probablymillarific's best fic that she's written.
