Why this must be read:

I'm a big fan of "Five Ways ____ Didn't Happen" style fic and also stories that are (partly) told from the perspective of children, so I was really happy to find this one combining both. :) The five episodes here speculate different ways Hera Agathon may have grown up -- in a cell with her mother, back on Caprica with Helo still unware of Sharon's real identity, and other variations on Galactica. Each AU is removed in some way from what happened in canon, but all are plausible and believable. In spite of BSG's dark subject matter, this is one of those fics that finds its hopeful and heartwarming side, while also having some bite and not becoming too sappy.
