I enjoy seeing them through your eyes. They don't hit me the way they hit K/L shippers, and I'm not good at writing them (anything I've written I've run by a real shipper to see if I'm close) but the way you describe them here helps. I do love that whatever is or isn't happening between them, they always have each other's back, and that bond comes first. I can see and hear Kara and Lee coming off the page and appearing in a moving picture that lets me revisit my pilots. Perfect description of fanfic when it works :-)
