I'm cleaning out my Never Gonna Get Sorted folder.

Battlestar Galactica
Helo. Kara.

You Are My Sunshine



Karl Agathon was given the call sign ‘Helo’ by his friend/drinking buddy/workout buddy/would-be-sister, Kara Thrace. Originally, Karl had thought it was just a nickname for his home, Mt. Helios -- the name seemed close enough. It was only much later on, after graduation from the Academy, after Zak died but before the Cylon attack, that Kara told him that she’d picked it out, not for his home, but for his disposition.

Helios was a sun god, and Karl was always optimistic and bright about everything Kara complained, and it was frakking irritating. The Lords hadn’t mean for anyone to be so joyous all the frakking time, and one day Karl was going to be sorry for being such a happy bastard.

Karl laughed and slung Kara over his shoulder in a Fireman’s Carry, since she was three sheets to the wind and had slurred most of the entire explanation.

It was a testament to their relationship that he knew Kara would’ve kicked anyone else in the balls for daring to pick her up in such a manner, but with him she just belched really loudly and warned him that if he dropped her she was going to hurl on his shoes.

He patted her on her thigh, the safest area he could reach without dropping her on her head. “Don’t worry, Starbuck,” he said placatingly, pausing to blink several times so he could reduce the number of sidewalks before him to a manageable number. “Nobody would notice if you got brain damage anyway.”

Kara made a noise of displeasure and pinched Helo's ass. “Just for that I’m telling everyone that you’re gay.”

Helo made a derisive snort. He hadn’t been gay in years. “Like anybody would believe anything you say anyway.”

“Everybody believes what I say,” Kara paused. “What was I saying?”

Helo snorted again. “Exactly.”

Awwww. Kara and Karl are the cutest. I don't see them romantically. Your fic really displays the way I see them as friends in a brother/sister kind of way. Nice explaination of Helo's name too. :)

This is now my official reason for Helo's callsign. Also, you have filled me with joy.

This was supposed to be an opening for the Lee/Helo story I was going to write for the wicked art Slod made me, but it just didn't mesh with the rest of the story. Hell, the rest of the story didn't mesh with the story. I kept this and tossed that.

Gah! Great. Helo and Kara would seem to have one of those utterly fun friendships.

Actually we don't see as much of Helo's character on the show and you do amazing amazing things with him... Do you think we'll see Lee/Helo again?...?

Apparently you asked the magic question -- keep an eye on my LJ this afternoon.

HA! Thanks for the random slice of happiness.

They're just so awesome as friends.

Yes. Which reminds me that I need to put the last four (OMG I'm such a slacker) episodes on my iPod so I can catch the fuck up.

The golden retriever of BSG. THAT needs to be on an icon.
