Summary
Day Zero. Laura Roslin’s aide Alex is no fool: she knows something’s up and is worried sick about her beloved boss. When Lee Adama finds her having a quiet freak-out during the decommissioning reception, it’s the sincere concern he shows that knocks her for six. They work together during those first terrible hours on Colonial One, and she falls for him - too hard, too fast.
Closely observed retelling of the series (shifted a little by Alex’s presence and filtered through her POV): because when Roslin’s variations on “hmm” could fill half a dictionary (and Adama’s “humph” the other half), every nuance is a joy.
And yes, Alex’s relationship with Starbuck will be complicated, because I love Kara too.
Title from the Muse song; largely 2002, 2003 soundtrack accompanying.

Robert Gonzales, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., Commander of the Illiad.
Ambitious, brave, and hard-headed. That wasn't all there was to him though - he was also a husband and father, stuck between love and enough family drama for ten lifetimes.
These are the stories he told about the people in his life, most of all about the woman who changed it.Series

Summary
One year, Kara’s teacher is Miss Roslin, and it changes the universe a little.
She’s eighteen when she gets into the Academy, keeps her chin up instead of head down like you’re meant to. She reads up on all the rules so that she can cheerfully bend them and blows everyone away on the sims and smirks at Adama.
She breaks one more record than him, and it’s not a competition except for the way it totally is.
