wrennettenotes: I started this drabble series to combat writers block on other fics, and it just keeps growing. I'll post what I have now in five drabble increments over the next few days.
Title: Farstrider (01) - (05)
Pairings: Apollo x Helo (pre-slash), Helo x Eight, Helo x Anders (pre-slash)
Fandom: Battlestar Galactica 2003
Rating: G to PG for the first few installments, R in (04) for het.
Warnings: AU. Unbeta-ed. Jumps from person to person, not always with any indication of who the main character is.
Disclaimer: I don't own BSG, I don't make any money doing this, and the intention is to amuse, not offend.
Summary: In which Lee "Apollo" Adama is the one sent after Apollo's Arrow on Caprica after his father is shot.
(01)
Helo paused, panting heavily. Things had not gone well, not in the least, since he had made the decision to give up his seat on the Raptor. He could feel the nausea of radiation sickness twisting in his gut, and he only had a week of anti-radiation medicine left. He had to get back into Caprica City. It might be the most dangerous, most Cylon infested place on the planet, but he needed food, medicine. With a deep sigh, he slung his pack over his shoulder again and forced himself to start walking.
(02)
The Eight cocked her head, watching him through the trees. This man loved her sister - the sleeper agent called Sharon Valerii. His defenses were low, weakened with isolation and sickness. He would not question her sudden appearance. She frowned a bit with displeasure as she reviewed her mission. This sort of seduction and infiltration thing was usually done by Six. The model was built for that purpose. But the human had a link to the model Eight, and so she was being sent in. It was an honor to be chosen from among all the other Eights for this task, but she still didn't much like it.
(03)
Run, shift, hide had become the fullness of their existence. "Sharon" knew but could not share that they would not be killed, understood that they were being herded. It was all part of the plan after all. That didn't meant she liked it any better than Helo though. There were simply too many variables where this plan could fail. She would much rather be with her sisters, listening to music, practicing the forms of her meditation-dance. But she was here, in the outskirts of Caprica City, with a human as her companion, and a dying human at that.
(04)
He was afraid at first, that their desperate lovemaking had been a dream. He had dreamed of such things often since first meeting her. But she was curled warm and soft in his arms, her skin so smooth and silky it seemed unreal. They kissed when she woke, and despite his best intentions of pushing on today, finding food and medicine, he couldn't resist the temptation she presented. It didn't help his reserve that she was warm and soft and willing, and so this time, he took her slowly, loving her the only way she would allow.
(05)
Being the CAG meant no one asked Lee where he was going with Kara's stolen Raider. They just figured that if he was touching her toy, he had her permission, or it was orders. After all, he was an Adama, and people assumed certain things about him because of that. They assumed he did what he was told, that he never questioned his father's authority. They assumed he knew everything about what happened on board the Galactica. They assumed his father was his hero. He smiled wryly to himself. His father was no hero. His father was a liar - one of the best, but still a damn liar.
