Title: Those Who Lift Each Other, Chapter 3: But That Was When I Ruled the World
Author: lls_mutant
Fandom: Glee/Battlestar Galactica (2003)
Rating: R, for adult themes and violence
Pairing(s): BSG: canon pairings, plus Gaeta/Baltar. Glee: Burt/Carole and Tina/Mike. Cross-fandom: Puck/Ellen, Kurt/Baltar, Santana/various pilots, Sam/Rya Kibby.
Warning(s): War-related violence, abortion issues, BSG-canon suicide, torture, PTSD, character deaths. (Character deaths are both canon BSG deaths and Glee deaths.)
Fic Summary: When the Cylons attacked, the kids of New Directions were on board the Cybele, on their way to the All-Colony Show Choir Competition. Now they're members of the Fleet, being chased by the Cylons and trying to deal with the day-to-day aspects of a life after the worlds end.
Chapter Summary: Sometimes we must be lost to eventually be found. Puck might have been a bad-ass in high school, but now he's struggling to get his feet in the Marines and accept the imperative of protection.
Notes: This is a 16 part story. Each chapter is from the POV of a Glee character, working through the BSG canon. BSG canon does not change; this ends up being a "average people in the Fleet" story. More information can be found here. Also, huge thanks to

kappamaki33, who is betaing this monster.
Chapter Notes: The BSG characters that are featured in Chapter 3 can be found here if you'd like an introduction/refresher/want to get an idea of which Marine is which.
