Recognition
By Captain’s Quarters
This is an alternate universe (AU) series that begins with Laura Roslin and Bill Adama meeting and falling into bed without even knowing each other’s names. This leads to a journey of self-rediscovery, of sorts, and possibly more.
The timeline isn’t fully established, but it takes place prior to canonical events. In other words, before any sort of attack on the Colonies and before Bill takes command of Galactica. Laura is still the Secretary of Education in Adar’s Administration, and Bill a commander in the Colonial Fleet.
