Dead Letter Box, by falafel-musings (PG-13)

Fandom: BATTLESTAR GALACTICA 2003
Pairing: none (Ellen, Cavil, Gaeta and Tyrol)
Length: 3000 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] falafel_musings
Author Website: BSG fic list
Why this must be read: This is one of the first stories I read in this fandom. Ever since then, I've saved it away in my head with the lable of, "That one Ellen fic with the awesome first line." The first line is as follows:

Ellen kept her eyes closed while she took it.

Isn't it a thing of beauty? It delivers a punch and the tone of the story all at once. Also, the main character.

On top of the excellent first line, this is also that kind of fic about Ellen the heroine that I claim people are thinking of when they say there isn't enough Ellen fic around. And in case that isn't enough, it also answers the burning question of, how was the dead letter box established when nobody seems to know later? If all that isn't enough of a reason to read a fic, I don't know what is.

That concludes my recs for this month! Hope you all had fun.
