Fanfiction: No Exit

[ani]

I wrote this fic a while back as kinda an exploation to the Return of Starubkc episode and why those Beings of Light would have tested Starbuck (because without the unaired episodes, you ogtta admit, it's a bit random, they already knew he was willing to give his life for others!)

It's a Dark Take on 'em though.

Rating: PG
characters involved: Apollo, Starbuck
Notes Based on the Episode "The Return of Starbuck"
And obviously this isn't slash or I wold not be linking it here.
Starbuck and Apollo are very close but this is for me an exploration of Agape/philia type love (Think Sam and Frodo in canonicle text). English just lacks decent vocabulary in this area, so the word 'love' comes up :rolleyes:

Thanks so much.
You know, in all the time I've been in the Harry Potter fandom, almost Eight years now, I've written 2 proper fanfics and I think 5 drabbles.

In my lgoing on two years no time in the BSG fandom, I've written 7 wth another four currently in progress!

It's odd *L*
I never really thought I'd be a fanfic writer again.

I love your portrayal of the Ship of Light beings as being something other than altruistic. The characterizations are bang on.

And this line was fabulous: “Apollo, I was willing to die for you, why on Kobol would you think I’d be unwilling to live for you?”

My favourite aspect of BSG fanfiction is the Starbuck/Apollo relationship. Can't tell you how much I enjoyed reading this.
