Why Kara/Lee are my BSG OTP
Jul. 14th, 2005 03:55 pm1. Because she gets him to relax, and nobody else seems to. (see finger painting in AoC or playing around in Colonial Day). And having a stick up one's ass all the time would be pretty darn uncomfortable.
2. Because she cried out his name while having sex with someone else and I love the sheer frak-uppedness of that.
3. Because they always refer to each other by their first names and not call signs. I don't know why, but I love it.
4. Because she is unquestionably the better pilot and probably the better fighter yet this is not kibosh on the relationship.
5. Because I love their banter and I love that they seem to be best friends. I am all for having best friend and lover be the same person. I was a goner since 33 where she bawls him out for not acting like a CAG and forcing her to take her meds and hit her if she doesn't comply, so he says "will you take it or should I hit you?" and they burst out laughing and she takes the meds. Love.
6. Because he liked her before she put on a dress.
7. Because the rulebound guy lets the rules go hang in a spectacular manner when she is involved, whether it's by wasting all that fuel and spreading the fleet thin looking for her when she is missing, or by bawling her out in front of the whole deck because he is jealous she slept with another. Picture perfect rule obedience is dull.
8. Because when she hits he hits back. Equals.
9. Because neither of them is able to express what they feel, even if a firing squad was there. I love angst, and they promise plenty.
10. Because they have the same ideas about recreation: brawls, interrogation and booze.
