#adama x roslin

[a-tardis-at-downton]

I'm out here getting emotional about two older people who love each other so quietly and so fiercely that they can't let go of one another-- won't let go of one another-- even in the throes of a civil war, even as the walls of despair close in and the aching maw of hopelessness swallows them whole.

Yes I'm talking about THEM. ✨️Battlestar Galactica's Best Love Story✨️. Spaceparents. It's them. It's always them. It always comes back to them.

Chapters: 5/? Relationships: William Adama/Laura Roslin, Lee "Apollo" Adama/Kara "Starbuck" Thrace, Anastasia "Dee" Dualla/Billy Keikeya, Ellen Tigh/Saul Tigh, Other Relationship Tags to Be Added Summary:

All of this has happened before, and all of this will happen again. And this time, the Gods had gifted the marks to the Thirteen. A soulmate canon divergence of Bill and Laura, and their ragtag fleet's, adventures across the stars.

Chapter 5 is live! Its a shorter one, but liked what I did with it, so didn't want to combine with another chapter. <3

thinking of my favourite ships doing autumn stuff in autumn:

● helen and nikola in a haunted corn maze

● bill and laura getting their first pumpkin spice latté of the season at their favourite café

● cc and niles going for a walk in central park with chester as the red, yellow, and orange leaves fall around them

● andy bribing sharon to watch a "halloween" marathon with him

● mulder and scully on another job

● crowley taking naomi to see "the omen" at the theatre and proudly saying "that could be our child"

I wrote another Roslin/Adama song.

This one is meant to accompany my fic, Know You Anywhere. Lyrics below...

I carried home on my back all these years It gets easy, always crying the same old tears Never thought I'd put it down Never thought I'd be allowed Never thought I'd find a place Never thought I'd see your face

I carried all I ever cared to keep I didn't need a home if I had a place to sleep All the little things I lost All the trinkets that I tossed Every hurt I didn't show Everyone who had to go

Where did they go? Where in hell was I supposed to go? You found me wandering Because I didn't know I didn't know

Moments numerous as stars led me there You once told me you would know me anywhere If you met me as a child, would you know me for who I could become? Only here with you now, I feel I am someone

There is a litany of lost places that makes up my past I'm not a dreamer, I'm not a coward I was not looking for the one that would last At last, but...

Moments numerous as stars led me there You once told me you would know me anywhere If there's more to know, beyond the list of things I've done Finally here with you now, I feel I am someone

Very important information from the book So Say We All:

[transpidergwen]

Thinking about how Adama shows his love via actions because he's just not good with words. Nukes are flying and people are dying? He's on top of it, level headed, knows exactly what needs to be done. He's yelling orders without hesitation. A one on one conversation with his son or Roslin? Nothing. A blank stare. Lee begs for any sign of affection, any words of affirmation, and Bill has nothing. But he listens. He'll dig up his grandfather's old law books because of an off handed comment Lee makes. After their fight over the Baltar trial he offers Lee his wings back because he doesn't know how to ask his son to come back, that he's sorry and wants to make amends. He lives behind the formality of it.

With Laura it's books. Here's a story very personal to me, I want you to have it, to read it and enjoy it, as I have. It's not a loan, it's a gift, a piece of my heart I'm entrusting to you. Once she's bedridden with her treatments he reads them to her. After their fight in his quarters he still shows up with a book. He doesn't know how to say he's sorry and he didn't mean the things he said, but he can still show up and read to her, to say that one fight doesn't change the way he feels, that his place is still by her side.

And when the baseship jumps away with her, and he's faced with a future without her, he can't do it. He won't accept it. He'll abandon all he's ever known, face the real possibility of dying alone, drifting in the dark, rather than face a day without her. "I can't live without her." He's either going to see her again or die, because life would have no meaning. So he waits and waits and then there she is. And then he steps off that Raptor and into her arms offers no explanation other than "Missed you." Because that's all he needs to say. She says I love you for the both of them.

Happy New Year!

So many of my OTPs are couples where one person is adamant they do not love, need or want anybody ... and change their minds after finding the ONLY person they love, need, and want ....

Who out there has the 'sine queue non' tag? I know you're out there but I can't remember which blog it is as the search function doesn't want me to find you

[soup0ftheseus]

May I highly and loudly recommend Battlestar Galactica then?

listen…. middle aged ships are my jam. there’s something hopeful about seeing two older people fall in love (or still being in love) on my screen. 

give me two workaholics who realise there’s more to life than their job when they meet each other. 

give me two people who’ve been to hell and back together for years and have always had each others backs.

give me two people who’ve been married for decades and are more in love than ever. 

give me two lonely people thrown together in a life or death situation and let them realise they wouldn’t want anyone else by their side. 

give me two people who’ve been heartbroken more times than they can count who find hope in each other.

GIVE ME OLDER SHIPS
