I didn't expect this to turn out so goofy either. But between leg amputations, discovering you're a cylon and finding Earth is an irradiated dirtpile, it seems Sam and Felix just got a little hysterical. If they didn't laugh, they'd cry.
I like how we don't know exactly what the violence in the background is about. It sort of doesn't matter in a way, but not knowing also makes the tone of the piece a bit more surreal and dreamlike, which creates these nice spaces for there to be absurdity and humor
Thanks! I'm pleased that worked. I was wanting to create a 'Waiting for Godot' type space for this story to play out. Also Felix/Sam sounds so similar to Frodo/Sam (my first OTP!) that it made me want a similar wasteland-bonding-experience to happen. Heh! You're right that Cripples Croquet is like something that Hugo Reyes would think up to entertain those crazy islanders.
They're also people who for a long time on the show have been followers - particularly Gaeta of Baltar and Sam of Kara.
What's more they have both loved people who have treated them rather badly. One thing that I'd have loved to include in this fic, but couldn't work in was an appearence from Kara. I'd loved to have her see that Sam is now shifting his affections over to Felix and maybe have Felix pwning Kara with a "I stole your man, bitch" smirk.
Anyway, thanks so much for reading. I'll try and send you the Dee/Felix fic soon. I'm very unsure about it though. It has a very bitter unplesant tone.
