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.

On my journal, you can like or dislike whoever you want. I'm grown up enough to agree to disagree, or not. :D

See, I assume that people are going to be grown-up enough or at least, civil. I'm frequently wrong. ;)

It should also be noted that I can get my feelings really hurt. People can be really nasty about Lee, and he's my boy. :)

I don't see the point in being nasty. Just because I don't like Dee or Sam doesn't mean I have to say mean things about them or tear their characters (or the actors who played them) apart. Hell, I've watched Trucco since Pensacola, and I like him. He seems like a truly nice guy. I don't like Sam. I don't have to. But I don't have to have a screaming, raging fit because someone else thinks he's the bees knees.

And wow, does that show my age. lol

Bee's knees is a great term!
