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.

1. Fave Leoben Story
Dang, it's The Wide Expanses linked above. Totally shaped my view on Leoben. I'm not above making fic my personal canon. Since it's already linked, I also recommend its sequel, In Remembrance also by sageness.

2. Fave Leoben Vidder - dgmpepper
I particularly like this one. Ooh, it's shippier than I remember. *edits icon* But I like the lyrics and they fit in with Leoben's pov.

3. Meta
I tried to find more meta! I did try and fell asleep looking. How is there not more meta on Leoben? I did find this on Flesh and Bone, which I really do have to rewatch soon. Why isn't there more meta out there? And Rose, why aren't you mentioning your essay?

Oh, and I found this story, Voice of God. I'm not sure if it's on the recs above but it sure is interesting. Not my favorite yet, but now I'm trying to find stories of Leoben without Kara. Hard to find.

Oh, that video was weirdly compelling. Kind of like Leoben. I would never have thought that song would work, but it does.

Voice of God is definitely interesting, thanks for the rec.

I really liked that video you recommended. Thanks for the link.

You're welcome! It is one of my faves. I was just rewatching this one by the same vidder too. I'm sure you've seen it but these are like classics to me now.
