Rating/Warning(s): PG-13
Genre: er, fluffy-ish early marriage fic
WIP?: no

Why This Must Be Read: I loved the portrayal of how hopeful and how difficult Kara and Sam's relationship would have been when she first saved him. Nicole's writing is lovely and I'm envious of her amazing dialogue.

Rating/Warning(s): PG-13
Genre: dodgy reincarnation fic
WIP?: no

Why This Must Be Read: The finale left open a lot of possibilities for Kara and Sam in the afterlife, but this is one of the most creative (and funny) takes on it.

Rating/Warning(s): PG-13
Genre: more marriage fluff
WIP?: no

Why This Must Be Read: I find it hard to resist Kara/Sam New Caprica fic; this story hits that sweet spot of angst and love. (Pre-cylon occupation, by the way.)

Pairing: Kara Thrace/Sam Anders
Fic Title: Perfection

Rating/Warning(s): PG-13?
Genre: angst, character introspection
WIP?: no

Why This Must Be Read: Sam Anders POV at the end: this fic does an amazing job in having Sam the person and Sam the ship hybrid reflected in the same story. And one of his constants is his love for Kara. (Oh my heart.)

Rating/Warning(s): PG
Genre: romance and angst
WIP?: no

Why This Must Be Read: I like the time range here: from (old) Caprica to arriving aboard Galactica for the first time. Kissing while aboard ships, even--not often written in this fandom.
