Battlestar Galactica Drabbles/Shorts

crankyoldmanI just wanted to write something, as I haven't in a while. This meme served me well.
1. Pick a character, pairing, or fandom you like.
2. Put iTunes or equivalent media player on random.
3. For each song that plays, write something related to the theme you picked inspired by the song. You have only the time frame of the song: no planning beforehand: you start when it starts, and no lingering afterward; once the song is over, you stop writing. (No fair skipping songs either; you have to take what comes by chance!)
4. Do 5 of these, then post.
Fandom: Battlestar Galactica (New)
Rating: PG-13 at most
Warnings: femmeslash (ROBOT femmeslash), drug use, Starbuck, very grey moralities
Tool - Parabola
Characters/Pairings: Louanne "Kat" Katraine
Kat liked the edge. Edge of reason, edge of life, edge of the frakkin' universe. Back when she was a runner, back when she was that other person, she was always alone. But now, everyone was right there with her, frying toasters and staring down the endless black. Apollo probably said something all smart-like about staring down voids and shit, but even as Luanne Katraine she couldn't pretend to understand that.
Just like they couldn't pretend to understand why sitting in Galactica was worse than toasters chasing her down, why she had to duplicate that with the bottle of stims. You sit, you die. That's how it went.
Cherry Poppin' Daddies - Shake Your Lovemaker
Characters/Pairings: Kara Thrace, Lee Adama (and prolly some Kara/Lee implied, cause they do that)
"Do you think you're a frakkin' pimp?"
Not surprisingly, Kara had been drinking again. If she wasn't so damned likeable when she was cocky, he probably would have just gone back to his bunk. But another Kara Thrace spectacle was better than staying up all night with his head spinning through shit he couldn't change.
"I'll show you boys what pimp is."
And it wasn't quite a striptease, because there was nothing girly about it--and he'd been to Cloud 9 enough times to know the difference. No, he was pretty sure what she was doing on that chair would turn a few girls, well. The imagery would get his ass kicked if she ever heard about it, so he figured he wouldn't even think it much.
"Lee, stop gaping like a fish and come be my ho, bitch!"
The Kinks - Dedicated Follower Of Fashion
Characters/Pairings: Gauis Baltar and his Cylon girlfriend in his head (Six)
He had to hand it to the vanity of humans--because only vanity would allow a suit that hit him in all the right places to still exist when so much had been turned to rubble and ship rations. And he couldn't stop looking in the mirror. He was one sexy smart man. Yes, yes he was.
"Gaius, stop preening. You have to focus."
Of course, considering the Cylon in his head, he was quickly becoming a fan of women clothed, for once.
"Well that's certainly a dress I haven't seen..."
Gwen Stefani - What You Waiting For? (Jacques Lu Cont's TWD Dub)
Characters/Pairings: Laura Roslin (and implied Roslin/Adama... because they rock)
It was a steady metronome in her head all the time, and if she weren't just a little comforted by its rhythm, she would have gone mad long before this mess. So maybe time wasn't on her side, but it wasn't on anyone's side, really, and she couldn't afford to let it get to her. If she died just before they got to Earth, well, no loss. As long as she got them there.
If she kept telling herself that, she wouldn't focus on the strange things that were building up in her mind. You were always such a pretty girl, Laura, why did you never settle down?
The timing was off. It was always the timing. Either their careers didn't mesh or they had wives. She wasn't that kind of girl, really, it was just that the married ones were easier to deal with. Breaking it off was as easy as 'I'll tell your wife'.
She was always taking care of other people's families, be it their husbands or children. It was kind of funny when she thought about it. Bill had his own family, but judging by the still childish glares Lee threw him sometimes, the Admiral's warmth towards his crew--fleet--somehow didn't translate to his next of kin.
So what are you waiting for, Laura?
Zeromancer - Need You Like A Drug
Characters/Pairings: D'Anna/Caprica Six. Um. Yeah. <3
All Cylons were very comfortable with each other. There were speculations that was what had started their true evolution--the first drone that reached out to another, or some bullshit like that. God was love and all, but she'd always just figured that the Sixes needed excuses to just run around like alley cats.
Of course, there was Caprica.
She was different. It was against everything that made sense and it was intoxicating. D'Anna had first wanted to prod her like an insect, see when she'd crack. Well, the Eight did, but Caprica was still her misguided human-corrupted delusional self.
Sure, Gaius was an important part of the bridge where she started viewing herself as D'Anna and not just a Three... but it was just after the first time she started seeking the visions that it happened. Caprica had sniffed her and welcomed her back. Different bodies, same minds, but the territory had been drawn.
And D'Anna liked the way white-blonde hair tangled in her fingers.
