Thirty-Day Fic Rec Meme

Day Ten
Fic that convinced me of a pairing that I totally hated - I think hate's a bit too strong a word, but...
Shuffle and Deal - Part I of TRIAD by lizardbeth - the link is to  AO3, but the fic is also here on lj (I think so, anyway), if you prefer to read it here.
Lee Adama/Kara Thrace/Sam Anders
BSG

Before I found this fic, I had been studiously avoiding Kara/Sam, because it just didn't work for me - not on the show, not in fic - it just made my head and my heart hurt.  This fic somehow made it okay.  If I'm going to read Kara/Sam, I still prefer to have a third party in the equation, even if it's not Lee, but I've begun to read a few strictly het fics as well.  Baby steps.

It's billed as Part I of TRIAD, though as yet, there's no second part.  I keep hoping desperately there'll be more to the story.

:D

Do you know how much I love that a fic rec spawned this kind of discussion? Can we call it a discussion? lol

[kdbleu.livejournal.com]

definitely a discussion.

Even funnier one of the L/K/S that I enjoyed. hee.

I have a very specific issue about this trio. I don't think Kara would ever not play the boys off each other.

She totally would. I read one once where both of the guys were trying to one-up each other, Lee more than Sam, and it completely blew up in Lee's face. I love Lee, but he got what was coming to him in that one. lol

Even if I read them, though, I'm never gonna be a Kara/Sam shipper. Just not gonna happen. Doesn't make me like my friends any less because they are K/S shippers. :shrugs: To each her own.
