Title: Rock Bottom
Rating: K+
Word Count: 100
Summary: Every alcoholic knows the moment he hit rock bottom.
Characters: Adama/Roslin

He vaguely recognized the sound of Laura vomiting in the head but couldn’t stop his own stream into the trash can long enough to go to her.

Booze.

Diloxan.

Two poisons eating two people alive.

Two people turning to poison in search of life.

Every alcoholic knows the moment he hit rock bottom.

Bill Adama’s was finding the love of his life unconscious and shivering on the floor because he’d been too drunk to keep his promise.

His tears stained her robe as he waited for the medics, holding her close.

He vowed this time would be the last time.

Thank you! I know you like the "effed up character" angsty fics so I'm honored you like this one! ;)

Loved this. I was in the mood for a little angst this evening and this really hit the spot. These lines especially just killed me (in a good way):
