Summary: After the Resistance, Kara has a new life as the Cylons' prisoner on New Caprica, but Lee is determined to bring her home.
Word Count: 11,824
Author's Notes: This was inspired by three things: Two of wisteria_'s fics: "Destiny's Rejects: A Cautionary Tale" and "The Greater Good", and the Season 3 promo trailer. It was supposed to be a brief, kind of dream-like fic of little snippets in time.

Then the muse ate my head. ::facepalm::

In the end, I wanted to really look at Kara's reactions to the idea and reality of motherhood, because it seems to be such a sharply divided issue in fic. I personally see it as something she never would have wanted for herself, but I wondered what it would take for her to accept it. And I wondered about Lee's reaction to Kara having a child. I also (because I am blatantly and unabashedly all about the Pilot!Love) wanted to "fix" the end of season 2. Which became more complex than I ever would have guessed (though I should have!) because try though I might I just couldn't make Anders into a total bastard. He really is a nice guy, drat it all. ;)

Shout-outs and thanks go to the following:

Brian, for giving me amazingly evil good ideas and insight regarding Leoben in particular. And for listening to me ramble about this for the last 3 weeks.
elflore, and serendipityxxi for reading every variation, paragraph, and proposal, usually at least three times as I worked this thing out and into its current form, and for offering skads of advice, opinions, suggestions, and occasional snippets of dialogue. I take full responsibility for any errors or faults remaining in the work. Quite likely if you find some, it's because I decided to be stubborn and do it my own way. ::huggles Elf in particular on that front.::
ez_as_pi for reading the final draft and giving me a fresh perspective on the mostly finished product. (As well as a hell of an ego boost. ::hugs::)
technosage for giving me prompts/suggestions on interactions between Kara and Eris. Was this the kind of thing you meant?

Yes, there is a sequel in the works.

Woot, the fic!

Welcome to the world, Eris! *g*

(And suddenly my brain goes all ultimatecrossover!crack and wants your Eris Thrace to meet Natalie's Rose Sun-Crichton... ;?)

You, and me both. Totally had that thought a few times while writing this.

[elflore.livejournal.com]

Heheheheh...then you so need to talk to her and do it! *g*

is it very spoilery for S3?

If you've seen the trailer for Season 3, then you know what you need to know for the fic. If you're avoiding even the trailers, then you might want to wait on reading it.

Uhm, I'll wait. I have it bookmarked though :)

I have much love for this fic. The whole thing from start to finish. Very happy to hear there's a sequel...I really wanna see the fallout/aftermath of everything.

Very, very well done.

Thank you!
