Lee Adama is the son of mafia don Bill Adama. Kara is his top hit (wo)man.
BEFORE:
“I need you to do something for me,” he tells her calmly, quietly with an air of finality. Were she the psychoanalytical type she might have said he sounded sorrowful. She wasn’t the type. “Something?” She teases him, quirking a blonde brow as the corner of her mouth tilts up. “Someone.” The clarification is unnecessary. She knows what he meant. “Not that I’m not flattered, and truth be told curiosity’s got me, but doesn’t the Old Man usually take care of this kind of thing?” He turns to her then and she catches something in his eye she hadn’t seen before. It looks like ambition. “Usually,” he tells her, stepping closer, too close for where they are. “But this is a bit… delicate.” Kara’s brow furrows as she studies him. “I don’t follow.” Lee sighs and takes her shoulders in his hands. “Parents have to die. It’s the only way children can come into their own.” She gasps. “You want me to-” She can’t finish forming the thought much less the words. “This needs to happen Kara. We need this.”
AFTER
“Did we do the right thing Lee?” She whispers into his shoulder. “Hey, hey. You can’t second-guess this. Bill Adama was old, weak, and stubborn. He never would have stepped down.” He takes her face into his hands. “And he never would have approved. Yes. We did the right thing.” She nods and he kisses her.

Thinking about how in Maelstrom, Starbuck is hallucinating and her best friend suggests an oracle. How everyone thinks she's seeing things but Lee offers to ride her side. How she spots the heavy raider again, and everyone in CiC is rolling their eyes but Adama sets the fleet to condition one. This whole show is about faith--faith in God(s), faith in your family and loved ones, faith in your community. And the faith Kara tries to learn in herself.

Script Excerpts from The Passage
So I was spelunking on No_Takebacks the other day and I found this psot and I'm feeling very normal about it. And I was confused because everyone is saying this is platonic and I'm like Lee and Kara??? were having a whole ass affair??? have you tried reading these scenes??? with the assumption they're fucking on the sly??? I mean idk maybe I missed something, but these two idiots are Dating Each Other with spouses on the side as insurance.
Legit what are these even? I'm climbing walls!!!
-----
Kara looks to Lee for confirmation. Kat watches the exchange. She doesn't like something about it. Maybe it's the fact that Lee is considered the authority here. Or maybe it's the easy non-verbal communication these two share.
(can yall believe love is real)
-----
They pick up the vibe, tell each other about it with a look. After a beat of them standing there like Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee ...
ADAMA: I only sent for you, Apollo.
LEE: I thought Starbuck should join us,
sir. None of us is at our best,
and she's been CAG, too.
[...]
ADAMA: …That make sense to you, CAG?
Apparently Kara forgets which one of them that is, because:
LEE / KARA: Yes sir.
(they are soooo embarrassing. and this is the tamest one.)
-----
KAT: Kara, you are the CAG. You and Lee are one person right now. Everyone knows that.
Kara’s turn to be shocked. She didn’t know anyone saw it.
(christ alive!!!!!!!!)
-----
They both spit out their wads of paper, laughing.
KARA: I gotta go.
LEE: What? Is this because I wouldn't chew any more …
(reads off magazine) Hot Looks for Summer?
Kara's already on her feet, grabbing her bag.
KARA: Sam wants me to stop by before we launch. They've got him billeted with some civilian officials and he's bored to tears. He says they're so used to routine, they all still sit down at night to not eat their I-don't-got-no-dinner.
She laughs, making Lee laugh, and she exits. Missing her already, he looks at his watch, time to kill.
(they're married and also so gross actually get a room kjdfalkjsdfhlkas)
(also if I understand correctly Lee's time to kill activity is...going to see Dee lmao)
------
Insane script. Assuming this is real, it's not like there's a source lolsobs. In my heart it's real, though. I want to believe, we were ROBBED etc.

Watching "Unfinished Business", which might be my absolute favorite episode of Battlestar Galactica, and I think my favorite aspect on this rewatch is the strength of Helo and Starbuck's friendship. They are so ride or die and I'm here for it.

StarbuckApolloFic/Fallout Shelter Authors and Fics
Thousands of emails later, I come bearing loot! Turns out a lot of the fics from The Fallout Shelter are around the web, which is good to know. I've linked to author profiles and archived version of fics when available -- mostly so we know we don't need to have FOMO about them.
The last section of the post include fics that aren't available anywhere online that I could find. If you want those fics, send me a DM with the author's name and/or fic titles and I'll send you the files I have.
There are some drabbles, wips, and random odds and ends that I didn't include here, so if you're looking for something specific DM me the title of the fic or the author name and I'll see if I have it.
You can also download all the group data yourself. See here for more information.
