Five Battlestar Fics I'd Like To Read

June 29th, 2009 (11:56 am)

Meme borrowed from [info]trovia

List five fics that you'd really like to read but that haven't been written yet. It doesn't matter if they are fics you've tried to write yourself at some point, or if they are just fics you think could make a fun read. Share as many details as you'd like. It could just be a pairing or an outline of a whole multi-part, it doesn't matter, whatever comes to mind will do fine.



1. I really want to read a fic in which Felix tags Paulla and possibly Baltar in his mutiny bid. The cult isn't loyal to Adama the way that many of the military members are, and if they'd used cult security as a bid to get extra weapons and really moved. I think it might have been more successful, but the idea of that collaboration sounds really exciting to me. I think Paulla might even have been able to turn Lee onto their side if she made it known that she and Felix were the masterminds and Baltar was just a figurehead. I'd also love if that made an opportunity for a really adorable Felix/Gaius reunion and reconciliation by the end.

2. Gaeta is a Cylon and he knew it from the very beginning of the show. I haven't read a lot of fic with that premise, if any. Something where he's very cool and calculating, and his dorky side is something he's using as a cover. I'd like to see it maybe start with the "handoff" in Kobol's Last Gleaming and then reset back to the beginning of his story, from how he got into the Fleet knowingly as a Cylon agent to seducing Baltar to keep him close so he could watch him.

3. Any alternate to the Final Five. Maybe a story about an earlier mutiny amongst the Cylons that split the five away from the others. I think a long, involved drama about that would be pretty interesting, especially if the Cylons that later rebel had been on the fence about things, especially the Sixes.

4. A happy ending fic that shows what everyone with the original BSG ending- finding modern day Earth. Something that lets Gaius go on talk shows and really everyone settle in peace- maybe when 4.0 ended. I think it could be a multipairing fic that's really playful and cute. I think I've seen a little of this, but I'd like to see it on a bigger scale- I'd like everyone to sort of make peace and get all caught up in sort of... regular Earth life.

5. More porn. Actually, I'd like to see a fic where one character willfully and sequentially seduces everyone in the fleet. I could see a fic where Cylon Felix does it as a character study or some sort, or where Gaius does it just to see if he can. I think Felix is more likely to be able to (but Gaius is more likely to want it.)

How about they team up, making it a bet on who gets it done faster? ;)

Gaius Wonder

Well there's an idea. I can't imagine a nice boy like Felix doing something as mean as seducing people on a contest basis, but maybe.

Well we know that Baltar corrupted Felix, what with the ambrosia and smokes. That could have gone further than we initially assumed. Especially if Felix is secretely sure he can win. ;)

It's not mean when he tells them in advance.

Gaius Eyeroll

But that's soooo cheating. "Help me win a bet!" isn't the same as actually seducing someone.

Nah, it's just a very different fic. All of Galactica would know of the contest within minutes. Some people would gladly help them out. Some people would absolutely refuse. People would make bets on it, and interesting things would happen if Adama learns about it while Felix asks for a free shift to get more sexing done. ;)

Gaius Intense

That would be a hilarious fic. I could see Starbuck being pissed that she'd already boned Baltar, so she'd have to get Felix to even the score.

I can't imagine the lucky person that took the bet on Baltar. Mostly because if he does win that'd be a much better cash payoff. I imagine he's the underdog.

Depends. He seems to be quite good at getting strangers to sleep with him. He could score with the civilians. Though Felix has the home field advantage, of course.

I don't know if civilians count. Hmm. That's almost not fair.

felix gaeta

Hmm. True. Felix has less time at disposal in the first place. He can't tour the fleet like Baltar. Maybe it only counts if it takes place on Galactica?

I'm sure Felix and Gaius, being the geeks they are, would have worked out rules that cover all eventualities within minutes.

Like, does a threesome count as two people or as one?

Gaius Contemplative

Depends if they're scored separately or they're a couple. I think they should get a spreadsheet. Different people are worth more points.

Bill Adama is way more points than anyone.

dee ain't happy

ROFL.

How would you go about people who'd be easy for one of them but hard for another? Say Dee would be easy for Felix but hard for Baltar because she has standards because she'd likely do Felix the favor. Does she count a lot or a little?

Gaius Smoking

Inverse, maybe. I don't know. I'd say there are a lot of people with whom Felix would have an easier time because he hasn't already alienated them- sure Gaius spends more time with Laura, but she's probably a little freaked out by him.

I'd say the moment Roslin learns about this contest is the moment Roslin's points raise to higher power for both Baltar and Felix because, no way. It's bad for her reputation to engage in public sex contests.

Now I'm imagining Baltar as a late night talk show host.

Gaius Interview

He would so rock that. The better ones seem to be pretty bright.

Oh man I'd love to see Gaius Baltar go on Stephen Colbert's show. Oh Scifi, why didn't you think of that.

Colbert? That's not late night.

I was thinking more like Craig Ferguson or Conan O'Brien (before he became host of the Tonight Show). You know... late night network WTF camp.

Gaius Grass

Well, no, but I was thinking that it could have been actually possible to have James Callis show up and be, y'know, Gaius Baltar on his show because he'd probably tolerate that sort of crazyness. I think he's a giant nerd and would have gotten a kick out of it.

Yeah, I guess that too, but I don't know. Do they permit wtfery?

OIC. That would be interesting.

Yes, they do. It's very odd.

Hmm. Perhaps, then. I just like the idea of it really happening.

A happy ending fic that shows what everyone with the original BSG ending- finding modern day Earth. That's on my list of things to write actually. Once I finish Deliver Us From Evil

Awww. I am glad. I think that will be <3.

Deliver Us From Evil is going to be long though. I'm already at 15 pages and my super major plotpoint hasn't happened yet.

Oooh, yes, the cult being in on the mutiny would have been awesome.

There definitely should be a happy!alternate-ending fic. If only I was good at emsemble.

I'm doing something very much like #4--called "Culture Shock." Gaius isn't going on talk shows, but...yeah, if that's what you're looking for, definitely check it out when I finally get it posted.

(PS: How have I not friended you? Must rectify this.)
