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.

Oh, there's no reason to ever approve of Kara and Sam, not on the show and not in fic. ;P

No, really, I'm of the opinion that it's fine to dislike pairings and characters. Possibly because sometimes I think I dislike more than I like in fandom. I also think it can come across as a bit disingenuous to like everything.

Fic! Noted. I'm more a K/S than, Lee shipper.

You realize, of course, this TOTALLY makes me want to send you my Kara / Sam and Kara / Lee two-part fix-it-for-everyone epic. LOLOL Ahem. I won't spam you with it. Don't worry. I just think it's awesome that you're multi-shipping. It makes me love you even MORE! K :)
