I’m a little biased about this one, as it was written for me for the 2009![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
adama_roslin Secret Santa exchange, but there’s no question that it deserves to be here. zinke is one of my favorite authors in the fandom, and this beautiful fic – a post-Daybreak AU where Laura’s cancer progresses more slowly, allowing her to spend some time on Earth – is her at her best. This understated and painfully honest glimpse into Adama, Roslin, and the life they’re learning to share is sweet but not saccharine. Plus, it makes fishing sexy!
“I never wanted to be someone’s housewife,” she declares abruptly once he’s finished stacking the firewood in the corner next to the cast-iron stove.
“What?” Bill asks, giving her a strange look before pulling off his tanks and using the shirt to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
Laura indicates the pot of boiling water on the stove and the basket of laundry at her feet with a brusque sweep of her hand. “I can do more than this. I want to do more.”
“You need to save your strength.”
“For what, exactly?” she retorts, not bothering to hide her mounting irritation. “Cottle’s not here, Bill. No medicine, no miracles. There’s only this life; here, now, with you. Please let me have that before it’s too late.”
