L.A.W., Day 4: By Your Command

[rose_griffes]

*coughs* stupid head cold

Pick any three Leoben-related things you like, give us links and tell why you like them. Fics, picspams, vids, meta, episode analysis... you choose. Three of one, one of each, whatever. It doesn't have to be from Leoben's POV, but he should be a main character. (If you feel it's necessary to warn for content or spoilers, pass that along... though caveat lector, anyone who clicks on a link should be responsible for checking warning labels.)


fic: Most of you have read this but If Wishes Were Cell Phones by doomcrayon is just hysterical. Spoilers for s2 and a really good guess for the identity of another cylon. Six and Leoben have a chat on the phone.

picspam: Yeah, I enjoy picspam but I don't usually rec it. But Kara and Leoben's First Date by wisteria_ still makes me laugh months after I first stumbled across it. (And the comments are funny, too.)

vid: Behind Blue Eyes is the first video I ever downloaded, and I've kept it ever since. Leoben-centered, clips from mini-series through 3.10.

Okay, your turn now!

FYI, for anyone looking for a Leoben reading list, lunar47 made a pretty comprehensive fic listing for Kara/Leoben stories. It has just about all the K/Leoben fics written up to that point. Also, daybreak777 made her own Kara/Leoben rec list here. (There's just not a whole lot of Leoben fic without Kara and not any lists that I've found so you'll have to dig for those on your own.)

eta: I have twenty-three fics tagged with Leoben's name on my del.icio.us page. Not at all a comprehensive list, just stuff I like.

Thanks for the recs. I will definitely check those out. I've actually never sampled any Leoben stuff. Shocking, huh? Among the more serious Leoben or Kara/Leoben stories, is there one (or two) you prefer? You can just give me the name, you don't have to go looking for links.

I don't have to look for links?! That's like dropping a gauntlet, or... something. (Eh, I don't mind making links, I like typing a href and other random letters and symbols. Heh.) Okay, 'serious' stuff, eh? No indulging in my not-very-secret love of Leoben in crackfic.

The Wide Expanses (http://sageness.livejournal.com/788363.html) by sageness is set during F&B, Leoben's POV.
Eleusis (http://mercurial-wit.livejournal.com/37616.html) by mercurial_wit (aka fahye) was written post-Maelstrom. This writer has caused some serious teeth-gnashing envy in me. I even liked a Doctor Who/SGA crossover she wrote, and I haven't even watched one of those two shows. (Oh! She wrote 'Benevolent Sibling,' which I'm sure you've seen. Hee!)

Look! I really did only two, as requested! That was hard.

Hah, I couldn't resist mentioning something else. If you read 'Eleusis' and enjoy it, you might want to read the author's commentary on it here (http://fahye.livejournal.com/480660.html). It's fascinating. And induces even more jealousy, because my brain has never, ever had that many thoughts about writing fic or made the connections she makes in hers.
