Title: Madame Butterfly & Her Sailor
Rating: PG
Word Count: 3300
Characters: Laura Roslin, Billy Keikeya, Bill Adama, Kara Thrace, Lee Adama, Hera Agathon
Relationships: Bill/Laura, Kara/Lee
Summary: Most people think Admiral Adama and Laura Roslin met on Galactica. Hera knows different. It sounded like a fairy tale but it had to be the truth...Aunt Laura, she knew, always told the truth.
A/N: I don't know what this is. It started at a kink piece but I couldn't get to the sex. And then there was this other prompt taunting me about Hera babysitting Lee and Kara's kids. And it's Halloween. So this happened. (Also, I'm sure the idea of Laura creating a program in which Kara participated is someone else's idea. (ETA: The name of the educational program is one I accidentally took from lanalucy's awesome Kara, Laura series, The Healing Arts, a wonderful series that is far more nuanced and amazing than this little thing and I'm so glad Ms. Lana is amenable to letting me keep it in this story.) Please do tell me if the whole 'Laura created a program Kara was in' thing was your idea and I will happily credit.)
A/N 2: Here's the pic Laura's butterfly gown in the story is based on.

Title: A Doctor & A Gentleman
Word Count: 2200
Rating: Teen
Characters: Dr. Morales, Rusty Beck, Sharon Raydor, Andy Flynn
Relationships: Hints of Shandy
Summary: Set just after Rusty comes out to the squad in 3x05. He visits the morgue to try one more time to surprise someone with his coming out. Dr. Morales finds himself thinking on the many different definitions of family. (Hints of Shandy, Raydor, Morales friendship, and Raydor's bisexual identity.)
A/N: Was inspired by the return of canon tonight to post my first Major Crimes fic. It goes back a bit and is mostly fluff bordering on crack but I also indulged my desire to tease out Raydor and Morales' friendship, Sharon's bisexual identity, and the camaraderie that might exist between queer identified folks in and associated with the LAPD.

Title: Private Citizen
Rating: M
Word Count: 3750
Characters: Laura Roslin, Sam Anders
Relationship: Laura/Sam
Summary: She knew there had to be some perks to being a private citizen on New Caprica. She just didn't expect Sam Anders to be one of them. (Set on New Caprica before the occupation, with some plot that's pretty much there to facilitate the smut!)
A/N: Huge thanks to lanalucy for the immensely helpful beta and support!

Let's look at mentoring from a different perspective. How do you (or how do you plan to) pay it forward, so to speak, to mentor other girls/women/people in their lives and careers?

Summary: Kara hadn't bitten her nails since she met Laura but worry drives her back to old habits. What she calls "punishment" Laura considers celebration.
A/N: So lanalucy challenged me over at bsg_epics to write "Laura/Kara fluff. No angst allowed." I failed. Turns out I need the angst to get to the fluff. But it's there, I promise!
