ficwizeTitle: Hellfire by ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
resolute (PG-13)
Fandom: BATTLESTAR GALACTICA 2003/ X-Men Crossover
Pairing: None
Author on LJ:resolute
Author Website: To the best I can tell, her fics are in her Memories here.
Why this must be read:
Because everyone, even Kara Thrace, was a child once, with childish dreams and childish heroes.
Because this fic is exquisitely written and hauntingly potent.
Because this fic crosses two of my favorite fandoms - BSG and X-Men and does it in a way that left me utterly breathless and very touched.
Becauseresolute captured Kara in this, and showed us her vulnerable side.
Because you really really should, or you'll kick yourself for missing out.
Author's Summary: Kara Thrace is a child on Caprica, and finds a comic book in the library.
Kara walked quickly over before someone else could take the seat. The sun shone on it and the seat was warm and comfortable. Kara propped her feet up on the bench and placed the comic in her lap. In her bag was the pencil with the over-sized eraser. She shoved the blunt end into a gap in her splints and used the rubber eraser to turn the pages. Plastic splints were lousy for grabbing or moving little things, she'd found.
They were outcasts, alone and feared. Brought together by Cruel Gods and the Hideous Treachery of the Cylons, they have forged Bonds stronger than Fate Herself! Cyclops, Persephone, Icarus, and Shade, together they are HELLFIRE!
Kara blinked. The picture was of a Raptor, flying with a man standing on the wing. He was holding on to the open hatchway frame. Long ropes of fire were shooting from his eyes. The blasts of flame were blowing up Cylon Centurions on the ground.
Huh.
After while the light had changed. Kara went back to the shelf a few times, collected all the books with Hellfire in them. Her hands were aching. Kara noticed when the timer strapped to her left wrist began its quiet beeping. Time to go meet her mother, time to go home. She slid off the seat and picked up one of the books she hadn't read yet.
