Author's Summary: Starbuck and Apollo thought their destinies weren't meant to be joined together but sometimes fate decides to step in and spin things out of control ...
Why I like this fic: It begins with Kara pregnant and then giving birth to a daughter, Clea. Everyone thinks it's Sam's child until a routine blood test reveals that Clea has a rare blood condition passed on genetically, and the only one on board with the same condition is of course...Lee. It would have been enough to simply follow that story to its logical conclusion, but the author also weaves in another whole plot dynamic in the search for Earth, which connects to Kara's "destiny" and that of her daughter. Add in another story line with the gods watching humanity's progression towards Earth, and you end up with a very compelling read. I was very invested in the plot but loved the attention to the L/K ship, and it was nice to see A/R and even Sam get a little action too. A great longer fic.
