Title: Those Who Lift Each Other, Chapter 5: In the Service Of the Queen
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: The arrival of the Pegasus meant a lot to the Fleet- two thousand more people, new supplies, a new Admiral. For Santana, the arrival of the Pegasus meant hope- but in a way she didn't expect.
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:

1.) I apologize for how long this chapter took- I got distracted by Your Heart Outside Your Body. I don't expect to be ambushed by a project like that again.

2.) The BSG characters that are featured in Chapter 5 can be found here if you'd like an introduction/refresher. Welcome to the Pegasus!

3.) This chapter will include some very vague discussion of rape. The rapes discussed are part of the BSG canon and Santana is not in any way a part of it, although some of the characters' reactions are disturbing and do not reflect my own views.

4.) Thanks to

bsg_kink for Santana's call sign :)
