Helo fan fiction recommendations

greycoupon has compiled a great list of Helo-specific fan fiction recs. So if you've been missing Helo over the past few months, go check out the stories she recommends.

The stories are divided up according to their favorite relationship for Helo or lack thereof. So you have "gen" (general) stories and then categories such as Helo/Sharon, Helo/Kara, Helo/Lee and even Helo/Six.

See the list.

Look for additional stories in the comments section. Enjoy!

Some Helo fan fic

As so many of you thought Helo should hook up with Apollo in Season 2 (see the poll or check out the poll archive), I bring you some slash fic for your enjoyment:

Convenient Comfort
Author: McKay (scribbulus_ink)
Rating: NC-17
Pairing: Apollo/Helo
Summary: Two broken men find a much needed release.
Notes: This is entirely AU, set shortly after KLG2.

I don't read fan fic so I'm not vouching for its quality... I found it over at Battlestar Galactica Slash. In order to be fair, I also offer some Helo/Boomer action:

Nature of the Beast
Author: SabaceanBabe
Rating: NC-17
Pairing: Helo/Boomer
Summary: Following the revelations in Nature of the Machine and Nature of the Man, Sharon leaves Helo and Kara, all of them still trapped on Caprica.

"Nature of the Machine" and "Nature of Man" are PG, if that's more what you're looking for. It also occurs to me that Starbuck came in second on the poll, so here's a fic for Helo/Starbuck fans:

Chance Encounters
Author: SabaceanBabe
Rating: NC-17
Pairing: Helo/Starbuck, with a bit of Apollo for added spice
Summary: Set 2-3 years before the events portrayed in the mini, Helo and Starbuck meet for the first time over a game of cards…

If you want to find more fan fic, musicforcylons over at LJ has created a link list for BSG Fan Fiction Archives (including her own Octagonal Paper).

Helo/Starbuck fan site

One More Last Kiss is a newish Helo/Starbuck fan site. I'm not sure what I think of them as a couple, but if you're interested, here's a fic from the site:

Title: Imperfect Hosts
Subtitle: Five Things Karl Agathon Knows About Kara Thrace
Rating: Mature (lots of sexual themes).
Pairing: Kara & Helo, with distant hints of Lee.
Timeline: Pre and During miniseries (minor spoiler for "33").
Summary: Some of life's best lessons are learned at the worst times.

If fan fic isn't your thing there are lots of pretty Helo avatars about...
