Title: As the Driven Snow
Rating: PG-13
Disclaimer: not mine
Characters: Kara, Leoben
Summary: Sometimes it struck her anew, the falseness of this.

( Kara woke on New Caprica... )

My intoabar  fic!  This is completely unbetaed.  Also surprisingly maudlin.  I'm not British, so if anyone notices mistakes in Jackie's speech, please let me know.  Title is from a line in Richard Thompson's beautiful "Waltzing's for Dreamers."

And we'll drink out old memories and we'll drink in the dawn.
-Richard Thompson, Waltzing's for Dreamers

Rating: PG
Warnings: No warnings needed.

For housekeeping purposes, I'm reposting two bits of fic that have been posted elsewhere in recent weeks.

The first is a snippet that I sent to kag523  for her "Guess the Author" game at no_takebacks a few weeks ago.  I wrote the scene a few months ago--it would have been the beginning of a fic, but then I decided not to write it after all (it was for bsg_remix , and I changed my mind about which story to remix).  Anyway, it's too long to be traditionally considered a drabble, but too short to be considered a ficlet so make of it what you will.

( avow and affirm )

The second is a ficlet that I wrote for the All the Galactic Ladies Fic Battle at karathracelives .  You should go over there and write one too.

Title: Lessons
Character: Kara (with cameo by Socrata)
Prompt: learning to drive
Warning: it's weird and dark and mentions child abuse.

( the first time Kara got behind the wheel of a car )

Title: The Breath Between
Author: shah_of_blah 
Rating: PG-13
Spoilers: All seasons
Warnings: None
Summary: Kara's return in "Crossroads" is not what it appears to be.

Author's Notes: Many thanks to my cheerleader, stripes13 , and my beta, bellaaurora .  This fic would have been much worse without their help.  Also, I rejected any canon I didn't like.  Deal with it.

Word Count: ~2000
Betas: Many thanks to nazkey  and callmebombshell 
Author's Note: This was written for writeandgripe 's New Fandom challenge.  A little late.

( Kara makes a new friend. Sort of. )

Well, the reveal has gone up at bsg_remix .  I half-heartedly tried to guess who wrote what, and was right about two of them, which is one more than last year!  Anyway, here's the story I wrote as a pinch-hitter.  It's crack, in case you can't tell from the title and, well, everything else about it.

Title: What Happens in the Conference Room
Characters: Kara, Cottle, Lee, Sam, Dee, Adama, Roslin, Billy, Tyrol, Helo, Sharon, Gaeta, Gaius
Pairings: none
Rating: PG-13
Title, Author and URL of original story: The Admiral's Support Group for Dysfunctional Families and Insubordinate Officers by da_angel729 
Beta: Thank you, ivanolix!
Author Notes: Like the original fic, this story is set in some wholly indefinable period of time in which all of these characters are alive, and some of them are married. Just go with it.

The Admiral's Support Group for Dysfunctional Families and Insubordinate Officers was the place to be.

OMG guys, this is pretty much the first fic (ficlets don't count) that I've posted since last summer!  I haven't gone that long without posting fic since I signed on for this lj thing.

Note: Rich Text Editor was being a real bitch, so please forgive any formatting errors.  I may have to break up with RTE now.  Any suggestions for other options?  I tried downloading Semagic but it didn't work.

Title: Portraits
Disclaimer: Not mine; not for profit.
Rating: PG
Characters: Karl, Hera, Hot Dog, Tigh. And Kara Thrace.
Setting: post-finale
Word Count: ~1600
Beta: stardust_20
Summary: Some people don't fade away.

( At first, Helo can't believe that she's gone. )

1) I am still way behind on fic reading, but I am working on my own and I also discovered more Things To Post on my hard drive.  So there will be bsg-related stuff.  When I get around to it.

2) There's a lot of cool stuff over at karathracelives  (and even more cool prompts just waiting for people to show them some love).  I myself have contributed two ficlets, To Call Your Own and Father's Day.

3) This may be ancient history, but here you can watch Buffy rebuff Edward Cullen.

4) Remix meta!  That I wrote ages ago and have been waiting to post.  This will not make much sense if you haven't read The Other Side (of This Life) or Hic sunt dracones.

OMG guys, I have fic!
