Look at me and tell me who I am, why I am, what I am...

I was running.

It was one of those feelings that I enjoyed once I was finally out of that cell. I was part of the Colonial Fleet, and so jogging through the hallways of Galactica gave me a sense of freedom. Helo knows. It's not that I can't fall asleep; it's that I don't want to be confined anymore.

[Locked from Helo]

And then I ran into Lee, drunk, in the pilots' rec room. I don't know what got over me; it was so idiotic, really. I was upset, trying to prove a point that I wasn't Boomer, that I was Sharon. Athena. Someone he could trust. I was so frakking tired of everyone saying things behind my back, and so I decided to try to talk to him.

All I wanted was for him to say my name. To realize that I was just as human as he was.

"You're human? Well, now you definitely get to feel like a human. Don't worry. You haven't had it like this-- but you're gonna love it."

In his drunkenness, I recalled everything from the rape and ran away from him. I couldn't stop crying. Why? Why had he done this to me? I had taken a belt and wrapped my wrists with it, just to show him how much I trusted him not to hurt me, and then he went and did this to me. Why?

"You trusted me. You gave someone a little precious piece of yourself, and they tried to kill it, just to make it hurt. Welcome to being human... Sharon."

We argued, I cried, and then he begged me to hurt him. As if taking out some revenge on him would make up for what he had just tried to do to me, or how he'd always felt about me. No. No, I couldn't do that. Sure, I backhanded him once, but it wasn't hard. There was nothing in it, despite my anger at him.

And then we frakked.

God, sometimes I hate you, Lee, for what you did to my life. Sometimes I hate you for what you did to me that night. And then sometimes, I remember that there wouldn't be an "us" at all if there hadn't been all that pain to begin with.

There was gagging and coughing. Sticky film that covered my body and I was completely naked. It felt like I was drowning, only it wasn't in any pool of water I'd ever been in my entire life. I knew, though, that I had to breathe at some point, but I wasn't swimming.

Why wasn't I swimming, and yet it felt like drowning?

I moved my limbs, my head finally breaking surface, and I gasped for air. All around me, there was darkness, and I realized at last that I was trapped. Well, not trapped, exactly, but confined to something. What was it? Where was I? It was too confusing, and I couldn't remember anything before this moment.

Deep breaths. Slow.

What?

Welcome home, Sister.

Who?

We love you, Sharon.

Name a hand full of people you RP with, read, or have heard of. Say something positive, a reason why you like their characters, or the players. Anything that is constructive, positive, and better than the general: <3!!

This is an awesome meme. *L* Okay, well, where to start? I guess where I always start:

( My list of awesomeness! )

I'm forgetting people. I haven't had my coffee. Please forgive me, okay? But everyone who talks to Buffy, to Emma, to Sharon, to Sam, and to my other muses who aren't even in TM anymore? Thank you. <333

Love, Jo

I'm still not sure what to do. About practically anything.

I got lucky. Really lucky that I not only found Helo and fell in love with him, but that he fell in love with me. And now we have this beautiful daughter who I would die for (and in fact, I have once), and life is just... perfect.

There have been bumps along the way, sure, like getting thrown into hack and having Hera taken away from me. That was probably one of the worst things that's happened to me recently.

And then there's Lee.

It all happened when I flew him over to Colonial One on my Raptor. He was a civilian, and I was still in the fleet, and we frakked. One last time, and we knew it was wrong and that it wasn't love, and then he was gone. He went off to live his life and I went back to my husband and daughter and lied to them both about how everything was fine.

But then with Hera... God, what was I supposed to do? That Six was going to hurt her, I know she was, and so I shot her. Getting thrown into hack, though, I didn't know what to do because Helo was gone. The Old Man pointed that out to me quite clearly in his quarters, that it was my fault, that my husband was in jeopardy, that I couldn't have Hera.

So I turned to Lee. Scuttlebutt had it that he'd been doing well as a voice of reason, and he had managed to get frakking Baltar acquitted. Anyone who thinks differently is fooling themselves – it was Lee on the stand. I just figured that he'd know something that would help me. Something that could save me from a hearing. Strangely enough, he came and visited me in the brig and said he'd work on it.

It's not love.

I don't know what this is, this strange connection that we have, but it's not love. I love Karl. I love my daughter, and I am not going to frak that up simply because Lee Adama – excuse me, President Lee Adama – somehow turned my entire world upside down and then walked right out of it.

I had assumed he was going to stay, I guess. Which was wrong, naturally, since at every moment I'd done my best to push him back to Dee or back to Kara. Anything to get him the frak away from me. So he left, and I should have been happy, right? I finally managed to push the great Apollo away, out of military life into one where I wouldn't see him. I could go back to my husband and daughter and forget that any of this had ever happened and that right there was another assumption.

I can't. I can't go back. I look into Karl's eyes and it hurts me to know what he has given up for me and how I've betrayed him while at the same time, I need Lee. I miss Lee. I'd hoped he missed me, too, so it was a huge relief when he told me that he did, but still…

It's wrong.

And God help me, I still want what is wrong all while I won't give up my perfect life. Is that selfish of me? Naturally, but at the moment, I don't give a frak.

I want it all.

I've tried to talk more about how I write the various versions of Sharon HERE, which is for mun knowledge only.

I just updated it since Sharon was accepted into true_writers and will be answering prompts there. It will only be the Athena version of Sharon, and it will be AU -- her prompt replies will reflect an AU storyline going on with arrow_of_apollo. Anyone can feel free to reply to them, but keep in mind that all theatrical_muse replies will remain canon-only while true_writers will not. The mun will tag everything so no one gets confused!

Any questions? Have ideas for RPs? Shoot the mun an email! <3

Thanks!

Yeah, so the finale? I'm still trying to process it, but this is where Sharon will stand in terms of RP/prompts/small tags since once again, BSG won't be coming back for a long while. (We can only hope that it will return in January as promised, unlike this year's long wait!)

So from now until 2009, Sharon will be going into a freeze, in the middle of "Revelations", episode 4x10. What does this mean for Sharon?

1. Athena is out of hack and has Hera returned to her by this point.
2. Athena is reunited with Helo, so she's not depressed by that.
3. The plan to find Earth hasn't been put into place just yet, which leaves things a little more open for her.
4. Boomer will be assumed to be alive. Just because.

This freeze only affects RP and conversations. It does not include challenge community prompt responses, which will include any and all canon material up through and including the very end of "Revelations" but NOT including spoilers or speculation about the rest of the season because the mun does not like to be spoiled.

It also does not include the storylines of bsg_tng or the "AU Lost Year", since those have fixed storylines not affected by the events of the finale. This also means that all RP done between number_eight & arrow_of_apollo (as well as Sharon & callsign_helo) will continue to follow the rest of the season, but won't touch the end of "Revelations".

Thanks for following my muse on this crazy journey!

So say we all!

First off, GO BATTLESTAR GALACTICA! It's so refreshing to see so many of our muses nominated at the_bigtammys! And a whole section devoted just to us? It's even better! It makes Sharon very, very happy! The mun is not going to say who you should vote for, except to say please vote and support the people you love to read or RP with. :)

( Thank You! )

Good luck to all of the muses on Sharon's f-list, congrats, and thank you. <3

SO SAY WE ALL!
