Cliché Fic meme: Give me a character or pairing and a fic cliché. I’ll write a ficlet incorporating the character(s) and the cliché, but taking the cliché in an unexpected and very un-cliché direction

Kara/Lee, runaway bride

Kara steps slowly down the aisle, her heartbeat pounding in her ears, clutching Bill’s arm for all she’s worth.

Finally they reach the end and he turns to her, leans in to kiss her cheek and whisper, “I hope you two have a long and happy life together.”

Kara pulls back and looks at him, stricken. Then she gathers up her skirt in her hands, and runs.

Pushing past through the heavy doors, she stumbles down the temple steps and stops, gasping, as she sees him. “You knew I wouldn’t?”

Lee shrugs, offers her a hesitant, joyful smile. “I hoped.”

YAY! Not exactly changing the cliche, but still a twist ending! :)

I love it! I can imagine this being Kara's reaction to that particular realization :D

Kara/Helo; "Blondes have more fun"

Kara rests her cheek on Helo’s chest, panting as her body cools. “Well, that was fun,” she purrs, tilting her head to grin at him.

“Yeah,” Helo sighs, glancing at Boomer’s empty bunk.

Kara rolls her eyes, sitting upright and glaring down imperiously. “Seriously, Helo? She’s with Tyrol. Crying about it won’t change anything.”

He turns back to her, reaches up to touch Kara’s face. “You’re right,” he smiles teasingly, “This is fun.” His eyes brighten just a touch, her only warning before Helo flips her over, pinning her to the bed. Kara shrieks with laughter beneath his tickling hands.

This is nice. Kara/Helo are a fun couple and I do like the little twist of Helo longing for Boomer.

Thanks! In my mind this is a missing scene from my Boomer&Kara friend-fic :)

Kara/Leoben, love potion

Date: 2011-08-23 03:04 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] embolalia.livejournal.com
Kara stands over the dinner table, staring down at the two water glasses, a small bottle clutched in her fingers.

“What are you doing?” Leoben calls from the kitchen.

Kara turns to him, smiling at the sight of him dressing the salad. “Waiting for you,” she answers teasingly. She looks back to the glasses. Quickly pulling the stopper from the bottle, she pours half the liquid into each and tucks the bottle into her pocket. She never believed in this stuff back when Sharon and Dee used to gossip, but she hopes she remembered the formula.

“Hey,” Leoben says softly, resting his hand on the small of her back.

“Hey.” Kara leans into him, kisses him softly, then hungrily. His hands curl around her waist.

He pulls back. “Ready for dinner?”

She nods, takes her seat. She watches Leoben lift the glass to his lips. For a moment she nearly cries out to him to stop. Then a bomb goes off outside and their heads snap toward the window and Kara remembers why this has to be over. She closes her eyes and drinks long and deep, and hopes that when she wakes up tomorrow she won’t love him anymore.

Oh nice, I love the darkeness underneath it all. They really were in their own little world in that apartment. Nice twist on the trope!

Nice twist! I was sure it was some kind of poison for Leoben.

The idea she got this recipe from Dee and Boomer, of all people, totally cracks me up. That should've really clued her in that it wouldn't work...

How about Kara & Saul (gen), "No! I am your father!" (bonus Bill would be icing on the cake ;))

Hah! That seems so wrong since I've written them NOT gen. :) I'm going to work on these at work tomorrow since everyone else is on vacation. I'll think about how to make this work.

Bill arches an eyebrow as Kara squirms. “Spit it out, Starbuck,” he finally orders.

She swallows hard. “Sir--you know my dad left when I was little. I was hoping, for the wedding, that you might--” She grins as Bill hugs her.

“No!” Tigh suddenly barks out.

They both turn to him in startlement.

“Saul--” Bill begins, frowning.

“Frak it,” Tigh swears. “I’m your father, Thrace. You might as well finally know. It’s why I’ve been so hard on you. It’s how you could come back from the dead.”

Kara’s eyes are wide. “And you want to pay for the reception?”

Yay! :) Most of my cliche-reversals seemed to involve humor in one way or another!

LOL! Talk about an unexpected twist. These are all great.

I also like the Kara/Helo one a lot. It's funny and light but also a bit melancholy.

LMAO.

Tigh suddenly, out of nowhere, admitting this wasn't enough, was it? Pay for the reception... *snorts*

Kara/Leoben... Trapped in a lift.

Kara sighs. “This might be awhile.” She steps close to him.

“Not that long,” Leoben says doubtfully, looking up at the lit number above the door.

“Hey,” she murmurs. “What happened to all that anywhere-and-always business?” She reaches down, slips a finger into his waistband.

“Kara--” he begins to protest.

She cuts him off with a kiss, sealing her mouth over his, opening his fly as he reaches for her hips. Leoben grunts into her mouth as Kara’s fingers wrap around him. All objections gone, he devours her mouth, his hands groping possessively.

He has her stripped down to her underwear and pressed against the wall when suddenly the elevator lurches to a halt and opens with a ding.

Lee stares at them in silent horror, his mouth hanging open. They stare back. The doors close with another cheerful ding.

Kara presses her face to Leoben’s chest, giggling.

“Did you really forget that even though we had to go up fifty floors other people could still press the button?”

Kara glares for a moment in silent outrage. “Shut up.” She squirms out of his arms, flips the emergency stop so the elevator jolts to a stop. “Now where were we?”

Leoben, bad love poetry

Date: 2011-08-23 11:48 pm (UTC)

Cavil clambers out of the resurrection tub and snatches a towel, draping it around himself regally. “Leoben,” he demands, glaring at the others til they leave.

“Yes, brother?” Leoben asks calmly.

“Poetry? Really?”

Leoben starts to shrug.

“I hear her voice and fill with yearning? I long to see her face? Just for us the worlds are turning? You left all that drivel on the Gemenon Traveler where humans could find it!”

“Kara--” Leoben begins, grinning foolishly.

“There’s no excuse,” Cavil cuts him off. “Not for that.” He sweeps out.

Leoben stays, smiling, remembering what her love will feel like.

Oh, Cavil is in the mood to do another mindwipe I bet. Funny!

Somehow I doubt there's poetry anywhere that Cavil would like! But yeah, thinking about Leoben writing verse for Kara would probably make him get out the brain bleach for both of them :D

Love, love, love!

Cavil clambers out of the resurrection tub and snatches a towel, draping it around himself regally.

This line is so Cavil :-)
