A Community Celebrating the Lives and Times of Kara "Starbuck" Thrace

hearts_blood wrote a fascinating little ficlet over at BSG_epics this morning in which Kara has a sibling (kinda). Gen fic is so rare, and if you're gearing up for our Gen ficathon, this makes a perfect little read to whet your whistle! 

Since I have birthdays on my mind today, I was thinking about how Kara would celebrate? Before the war? After the war? Do you think she's the kind of person who would make a big deal about her birthday or keep it low-key? My thoughts also turned to one of my favorite Kara's birthday fics, and there's a bit of innuendo/implication for K/L but mostly it's a gen fic about the people who love Kara doing something nice for her (which didn't happen enough in canon as far as I'm concerned), so I'm gonna rec it anyway:

It's My Party by daphnaea -- The pilots throw a birthday party for Kara. Here's my favorite lines: 

She thinks if it were any other birthday, she’d probably be getting laid right now, and technically this is the night before her birthday (the party started right after midnight, or what passes for it in space) so she’s still got plenty of hours left to find some civvie, or maybe a marine safely outside her chain of command, but she knows she isn’t going to. She doesn’t want to trade what she has right here for a random frak, because stupid and screwed up as it may be, both of the men touching her love her, they’d frakking die for her, and she kind of hates that, but she kind of needs it too.



Also, if you'd like to do something nice for Kara, won't you write a ficlet about her or her ladyfriends for the ALL THE GALACTIC LADIES Ficathon? There are a lot of fantastic prompts there just waiting to be filled by smart, nice, generous, talented people like you!! ;)
