bsgficexchange reveals are posted!

I haven't done a ficathon in a while. Well, I did

rs_small_gifts at Christmas, but before that it was the Games, and that was almost a year ago. This one was fun- nice and small and low-pressure.

As I said before, I got a lovely gift from

da_angel729, Practical Politics. It's always kind of neat to get chosen by the mod. Go tell her how awesome she did, because the fic really does nail Tom Zarek perfectly.

I think several of you have read it already, and everyone on my list probably guessed it was me from some things that I said under locked stuff, but I wrote Honor and Duty. I almost cried because as soon as I had finished the fic (but no one had seen it yet),

kappamaki started posting Mathematics, which dealt with the same exact subject- Gaeta's Eight from her perspective. Obviously, the stories are REALLY different though, and if you like that particular subject, make sure you read her stuff, because it's really shaping up into an awesome, plotty story.

So yeah, the prompt was "Cylons", which at first almost made me cry because I started thinking Caprica Six, and I'm not a Cap6 ficcer. The whole baby thing makes me not be able to see her sympathetically at all (and I'm talking the killing the baby in the miniseries). But it's not like "Cylons" ONLY includes Cap6, and I got thinking about the war and the idea that there must be Cylons who actually fell in love with other Cylons, and what if they were on opposite sides of the civil war, and Gaeta's Eight because making sense of her actions requires some doing, and... yeah.

Anyway, linking on over:

And yes,

safenthecity, this is why my new AU idea is ALL YOUR FAULT- from one little comment you made in your comment. Thanks. :)
