Title: Undertow (Battlestar Galactica)
Author: widget285
Pairing: Leoben/Lee Adama
Rating: "D for dirtybadwrongness" (NC17)
Length: longish
Why I'm reccing this fic: younger Lee, not yet an officer in the Colonial Fleet, happens to meet a copy of Leoben at his seductive, fanatical best. widget285 gets Leoben perfectly, his interest in humanity, his knowing what Lee wants and believes. Leoben is a whitewater rapids in this fic, and Lee's just along for the ride.

Undertow


Title: Disconnecting (Battlestar Galactica)
Author: mousewrites
Pairing: none; Leoben
Rating: G
Length: middle-ish
Why I'm reccing this fic: someone else who just GETS Leoben, gets his solid, bone-deep belief, gets how a machine might feel if it were made to be human, and gets how a human machine might become a bit unstable if separated from the collective.

Disconnecting


Title: When There's Nothing Left to Burn, You Have to Set Yourself On Fire (Twitch City)
Author: pearl_o
Pairing: Hope/Curtis
Rating: PG?
Length: longish
Why I'm reccing this fic: this reads like an episode of Twitch City. word for word, line for line of dialogue. but we get to see what Hope thinks and what she doesn't say and make sure you read the comments too because the discussion is so worth it. this story is either a "feminist manifesto" or "sad and indifferent". or maybe both.
