New Fic: Battlestar Galactica

[grav_ity]

AN: I realize that I have now written two of these about the same character, but there is a HUGE difference between Caprica Six and the others that fits into lightning much better, so that's the reason.

Spoilers: All Aired Episodes.

Rating: Kid Friendly.

Disclaimer: Not Mine.

Summary: As soon as she had fingers, she began to break things. (Six: Caprica, Gina, Natalie and Chip)

And The Lightning With Its Rapid Wrath

As soon as she had fingers, she began to break things.

Life was so wonderful and so brief. Flower stems bent under the lightest breezes, and when she rolled them between her newborn finger and thumb. It took only a moment to break the skin and send the flower back to the God that loved and made it.

The baby’s skin didn’t have enough time to bruise.

Helena’s body was hard to forget. It yielded in unexpected ways when properly manipulated if it loved you. It was all sharp edges and blunt corners when it wanted to show the depth of its hatred. It crumpled under gunfire, just like everyone else, but that was not enough to numb the pain. That would require annihilation.

The last thought is of white skin, flushing with sudden heat.

All of God’s chosen creatures are sacred, but this one, born at the holy time of reunion, has a special fire in her. It burns bright and clear, scaring those with cause to fear the truth and attracting those innocent enough to think the truth will set them free. She will be extinguished too soon, as all those chosen by God are.

She sees the light of glory before she goes, and dies of ecstacy.

Angel of Mercy, Angel of Death, she brings madness and chaos and a clarity beyond knowing. Everything is turned around, meaning the two different things at the same time and both being the true path. Left to her guidance, they would roam the stars forever and without her, all the light would disappear.

Electricity and a raging forest fire share a common ancestry.

Ugh. Brutal. Her assessment of Helena was awful and hard to take but so poingnant.

Very well written.

This one was a lot more fun than the one that was just Caprica Six. I felt I had to do the actress justice instead of just one of her characters. ;) If nothing else, Six will break your heart (and everything else).

Thanks!
