Why this must be read:
One of the most endearing things about Baltar is his talent at being a reluctant leader, and this crackfic explores one of the incredible directions that the show could have taken this talent. Starting from Gaius' strange talent for having women attach themselves to him--in this case, one of the Greek Muses. The summary is quintessential crackfic, and the story only improves upon it. This is the sub-genre of crack where the characters act like it's serious business, despite the ridiculousness of the setting, and it's a superb example of it. There's vivid characterization as well as cheeky in-jokes, and the ensemble of characters works together extremely well—and were it not so long, I would quote the band-naming scene as example. An incredibly memorable fic.
Colonel Tigh concluded they were all frakking crazy, and the other three had finally gone completely off their rockers.
“You won’t catch me joining any frakking Cylon folk revival,” he growled.
“We’re not folk,” Gaius said, horrified.
“We’re more of a modern thing,” Tyrol added.
“Kind of a blend of urban meets electronic, with a little harsh metal,” Anders chimed in.
“Whatever.” Tigh took a swig from his flask. “Frakking toaster garage band.”
