So Obvious, an A/R fanmix by Lily Winterwood

I tried my best to avoid Daybreak songs in this one. Really, I did.

01. Britney Spears: Circus
There's only two types of guys out there

Ones that can hang with me and ones that are scared

So baby, I hope that you came prepared

I run a tight ship so beware

I'm like the ringleader, I call the shots

I'm like a firecracker, I make it hot

When I put on a show


There's something dangerous about Laura Roslin, Bill notices. Sometimes he almost expects her to be cracking a whip as she makes a speech.

She has a determined look on her face as she practically pushes him against the wall. "Show me what you can do, Admiral Adama," she breathes, her voice low and husky.

Yes, there is something dangerous about her, Bill muses as he trails a hand up up her skirt. But I'm not complaining.

 

02. Cascada-Everytime We Touch

'Cause everytime we touch I get this feeling.

And everytime we kiss I swear I could fly.


Laura loves Bill's kisses.

He's laying feather-light kisses on her bare shoulders. The touch is barely there, and it makes her shiver with delight.

"Mm," she whispers. "Don't stop."

"I won't," he replies, his breath warm against her skin.

 

03. Daughtry-Home

Well I'm going home,

Back to the place where I belong,

And where your love has always been enough for me.


Home.

She had been searching for one for a great deal of her life.

But Laura Roslin never knew that home truly was where the heart is...until now.

"I love you," Bill whispers in her ear as she lies next to him. She smiles—he just took her words right out of her mouth.

 

04. Garbage-I Think I'm Paranoid

You can look, but you can't touch

I don't think I like you much

Heaven knows what a girl can do

Heaven knows what you've got to prove


Bill grins in an almost cocky way. "So you're serious about this?" he asks.

"Frak yes," snaps Laura. "There's people getting laid on this ship right, left, and center, and yet the President of the Fleet can't get a good frak when she needs one. I don't know which is more frustrating—the Quorum being asses or this."

"Well, if you say so, Madame President," Bill says, still looking amused.

"Get that grin off of your face, Admiral," Laura snaps as she unbuttons her jacket.

 

05. Michael Buble-Lost

'Cause when you feel like you're done

And the darkness has won

Babe, you're not lost

When the world's crashing down

And you can not bear to crawl

I said, baby, you're not lost


"Earth." Laura looks as if the world had been pulled out from beneath her feet.

Bill gently touches her arm. "At least we found it," he whispers.

She nods numbly, staring out at the ruins. "At least we found it."

 

06. The Spill Canvas-Connect The Dots

If your ears just ache from listening,

Then I'll supply the remedy

In the melodies I'll sing.

Don't you just love the feeling of my fingertips,

Circling your lips?

Don't you just love the desire taking hold of you?

Well I can tell you do.

I know all your favorite spots

And tonight we will connect the dots.


"Why?" Laura whispers as she massages her temple after another tedious Quorum meeting.

There is the sound of footsteps, and Bill enters. "Quorum bothering you?" he asks as he takes a seat next to her.

"Mmhmm," she replies. "I don't want to listen anymore. Can we postpone our meeting?"

Bill laughs, causing her to look at him. One of his hands goes up, one finger drawing a lazy circle on her lips. "We can postpone it," he agrees.

"Good," Laura says, closing her eyes at his touch. "We've got better things to do."

 

07. Brandy and Monica-The Boy Is Mine

When will you get the picture

You're the past, I'm the future

Get away it's my time to shine

And if you didn't know the boy is mine


"Carolanne Adama, is it?" Laura asks coldly.

The blonde woman across from her regards her likewise. "Laura Roslin," she replies. "I've heard so much about you."

"So have I."

Carolanne smirks. "He wore my ring up until your death, you know."

"He still loves me. Forgive me if I sound shallow, but it's true."

 

08. Eva Cassidy-Fields Of Gold

I never made promises lightly

And there have been some that I've broken

But I swear in the days still left

We will walk in fields of gold


The grass on Earth is lush and green, and Laura loves walking through it.

Hand-in-hand with Bill, they stroll across the field. "So much life," Laura says as they watch a flock of birds fly overhead as the sun sets. "So much beauty."

Smiling, Bill draws her closer to him. "Do you want to return to the cabin now?"

"Frak no," Laura replies coyly.

Chuckling, Bill collapses down into the long, lush grass, bringing Laura with him.

 

09. Vienna Teng-Stray Italian Greyhound

But you had to come along didn't you

Break down the doors, throw open windows

Oh if you knew just what a fool you have made me


"He just had to come along," Laura grumbles as she watches his retreating back. "He had to come along with his duties and responsibilities and senses of loyalty and family to shake up my world. Frakking Admiral Adama."

"She just had to come along," Bill mutters sullenly as he walks out of the wardroom. "She just had to come along with her airlock switch and beauty and efficiency to shake up my world. Frakking President Roslin."

Bill turns around to look at her again. She is watching him just as intently. Shaking his head, Bill turns back and continues to walk away from her. "She'll be the death of me yet," he growls.

 

10. Justin Roman and Soluna-Where Is She

What's the color of her eyes?

Does she even realize I'm here?

--
What's the color of his eyes?

Does he even realize I'm here?


"It's ironic, really, that it takes the end of the world to get them together," Billy Keikeya muses as he watches Laura greet Bill as he steps off of the boat into Elysium.

Dee is standing next to him, and she nods in agreement. "He never believed in this place. But he believed in her, so I suppose that's why he's here. Like you."

Billy nods. "I believed in you even though you turned me down."

 

11. John Mayer-Your Body Is A Wonderland

Take all your big plans

And break 'em

This is bound to be awhile


"Frak, I'm late for my shift," Bill groans as he looks at his watch.

"Frak that," Laura mumbles, one arm shooting out to snatch it from him. "Call Saul. Make him do your shift."

"Good idea," Bill says, grinning a little.

At that moment, the phone rings. "I think that's him," Laura murmurs.

 

12. Andy Griggs-She Thinks She Needs Me

She don’t know I can’t live without her

She’s my world, she’s my everything

And she thinks she needs me


Bill had always wondered if Laura knew how he felt.

As he sits in the Raptor watching the Fleet jump away, he picks up the battered copy of Searider Falcon.

"Because I can't live without her," he echoes.

 

13. Paula Abdul-Rush Rush

I don't know just how or why

But no one else has touched me

So deep, so deep

So deep inside


His eyes are a beautiful shade of blue, Laura notes.

When he holds her in his arms, all she wants to do is look into them and wonder if he can look into her soul.

It's the first time she's ever wondered that with someone. Shaun Allison and Richard Adar were both fine lovers, but they never looked for anything deeper than a good frak. Laura could tell it in their eyes.

Somehow, Bill Adama's different.


14. Runner Runner-So Obvious

This is our night

The look in your eyes says we can go all the way

I'm losing my mind, broken inside

I want you to take my breath away

It's obvious that my heart beats for you


"Take my breath away," Laura whispers, and Bill responds with a kiss. "I didn't mean literally," she amends as they break apart.

"But you've always been very literal," he points out.

Laura looks about to roll her eyes. "Just frak me," she snaps.

Bill complies.


Download the whole frakking thing (songs, album art, and lyrics) here. One of the songs is in mpeg-4 format (can someone tell me how to convert it to mp3?), but the rest are mp3. Enjoy!

Oooh, great choices! Fields of Gold is my favourite Eva Cassidy song! Love her rendition better than Sting's version.

Oh. That's amazing. I love the songs you've chosen, and to use little story snippets to show how they fit; perfect. I love this, well done!

It's less embarassing (in my opinion) than just getting my thoughts out. :]

It's kind of embarrassing how many fanmixes for this couple I'm snagging, but hey, after Daybreak I think we deserve it. Also, I never thought I'd see Britney Spears on an A/R fanmix, but you made it work. Great mix!

Every time she said that line I was all like, "Laura Roslin, right there." So I couldn't resist. :P

I'm actually something of a "fanmix virgin", but this one sounds lovely so I'm snagging it! I really like all of you little fanfic snippets as well. Thanks so much! :)
