Under a Shadowed Sky



In the ruins on a gray Earth, Sam and Kara face the truth that the gods aren't finished with either of them yet. While the Fleet crumbles under the dark weight of despair, some find hope in new wonders, as the gods bring the humans and cylons to their final destiny.


Rating: Mature
Spoilers: thru Daybreak
Pairings: Kara/Sam, Dee/Lee (with other canon ships in the background)
Characters: everybody, but especially Kara, Sam, Dee, Lee, the Agathons, Tyrol, Tory, Cylons, Adama, etc.
Warnings: This is an AU of 4.5. The only thing I will assure you does NOT happen is rape. Everything else is fair game. It's BSG.
Wordcount: ~60,000

Author's Note: The first short draft of this was scribbled back for the [livejournal.com profile] twelvecolonies long fic challenge last year and was my attempt to create a true-to-BSG version of a cracky premise. Now expanded and remade for [livejournal.com profile] bsg_bigbang. I couldn't have done it without [livejournal.com profile] sabaceanbabe who not only beta'd for me, but did art! And also [livejournal.com profile] lucyparavel who beta'd and suffered greatly as I whined about it. Thank you, ladies! (and any remaining mistakes were entirely me either not taking their smart advice or reintroducing the same mistakes)






Go tell [livejournal.com profile] sabaceanbabe how beautiful it is and see more over at her place!

But please, if you do read it elsewhere, come back and leave a comment. It really does mean a lot, especially when it's the Dreaded Wingfic and it's really long - I'd love to know people enjoyed it!



Thanks for reading!

Yeah, I'm the same. I have pretty lukewarm feelings regarding the finale, there are just things I would have done differently. Focusing so hard on Hera in the finale is one of those things I would have avoided. Though I'm aware that the series hinted so much to it that they couldn't end the series without doing it. But merging the two big story lines (Final Five and Hera) was kind of a bad move imho. So (to get back to your fic lol), I really like the direction you took. And I really love the idea of Sam with wings. >3

Dee dying is also something else I took issue with. Just when she was getting back together with Lee too! I think they're adorable and badly handled! Does fandom not like this pairing? I'm new to fandom so that thought makes me sad!
