Why this must be read:
A BSG reincarnation college AU might seem like hilarious crack at first glance, but this fic manages to be both a light-hearted coming-of-age story about a girl going off to college and something slightly more serious: the next cycle of fate where all the characters miraculously get it right and don't quite repeat the mistakes of a past they only vaguely remember. It's the perfect happy ending for Kara because, this time, she gathers a more functional family around her, and it's beautiful.
Over dinner Kara learned that Dee wanted to be a communications major, that Zack's dorm was not as nice as hers and the bunk beds didn't work too well, and most importantly that Karl was trying out for the track team. "Basketball team for me," Kara said happily, and then it was basketball talk all the way to fortune cookies.
"Plan for many pleasures ahead," Karl read. "Oh God, that one's too easy."
"Wait, wait, mine," Kara said, cracking her cookie open. "Trust your intuition. The universe is guiding your life. Huh."
