what some call insanity

This is an idea I've been toying with for awhile, and finally decided to pull together! A lot of new fans have entered fandom recently, and a bunch of the older ones have started to move on - in any case, this seemed like a good way to encourage/rekindle the Adama/Roslin love. This is a list of 60 fics by 60 different authors (if I had chosen more than one per author, this list would be the size of a novel - I wholeheartedly recommend reading other fics by the authors listed here, though, so please check some of them out!). These are fics that, for whatever reason, I've saved over the years as good ones to come back to. I'm sure there's an element of personal preference, but hopefully this covers a range! There are examples of fluffy, angsty, smutty, plotty, and funny fics here, all starring our favorite couple.

This is just a sampling of the amazing work that the A/R writers have come up with, and doesn't begin to represent the amount of fic out there. If you'd like to find more, Survival Instinct and the adama_roslin community are both great places to start.

I know that I've left out a lot of great works, and I'll admit that I haven't been reading as much fic this past year, so this list doesn't have the best representation of some of the more recent pieces. On that note, I'd love to see further recommendations in the comments! If there's something that you think that should be up here, link me and I'll add it.

I hope you enjoy!

Title: Out of Gas and Riding on Air

Author: averita

Summary: For weeks, she’s been desperate to get this trial over with, to send Gaius Baltar through an airlock and move on with the rest of the fleet. She still is, but now there’s a new battle to fight, and part of her is ready to lay down her arms.

AN: Written for duathkaimler for the adama_roslin Secret Santa exchange. Her request was "an Adama/Roslin fic that occurs within season 3 or season 4. I suppose I just wish for something happy (that could include fluff, smut, both, or anything else!), that involves a stolen moment between the two of them on Galactica (outside of Bill's quarters). If it involves Saul somehow, that would be awesome, but not a requirement."

The last fic I wrote was for last year's exchange, so I'm a bit rusty. Between my constant nitpicking and catching a miserable cold a couple of days ago, it's taken me awhile to finish - I'm sorry I'm just now posting it!

I tried to make it happy, I really did, and I think I succeeded on some counts! It's angsty fluff, if you will. I hope you enjoy nonetheless. Happy Holidays :)

( It had been too much to hope for. )

Title: Innocent Faces
Rating: PG
Spoilers: Through Exodus 2
Summary: 'It’s almost disconcerting, she wrote in one letter to Bill, both the normality and the wrongness of it.'
A/N: Fic for redoren over at adama_roslin's Christmas in July exchange. She requested a Roslin fic set on New Caprica.

( Laura missed a lot of things, those long months in space. )

Joining the Post-Six of One fic party. It hasn't been beta-ed because I wanted to get it posted before the episode tonight (which is kind of redundant because I'm sure most of you have seen it by now!)

Title: Meaning
Word Count: 748
Summary: She has walked to her death many times before, each time with her eyes clear and chin held high. She is not afraid of death, but she is afraid. [spoilers for 4x02]

( Here. )

Sorry for the cheesiness at the ending, but they deserve some, yeah?

Title: Tension
Author: averita
Rating: PG
Pairing: Adama/Roslin, one-sided Roslin/Zarek
Disclaimer: Not mine.
Spoilers: Through the end of season three.
Summary: The back of his hand brushed against hers, and she looked at him for a split second before turning away, eyes shining once more.
Prompt: I'd very much like an AR story told from Tom's pov. If possible, I would like it to use the big AR moments that Tom is around for - dance at Colonial Day, Bill having Laura in jail, Kobol, then perhaps picking it back up around the election and the escape from New Caprica.
A/N: Secret Santa gift for dixgrl78 over at adama_roslin Thanks to my friend Sarah for the beta.
