She'd really rather it were Sam. But when she's got no options she's got no options. It's like an arranged marriage that she doesn't really have a choice about. And that totally makes sense as a take on the Kara/Leoben relationship, neither of them are really in it because they want to be, but they can somehow find a way to love each other anyway.
To be honest, I'm not even sure she'd really rather it, or at least not how seriously she would, deep down. There's so much messiness and confusion in her relationship with Sam that I just don't understand. She obviously loves him, but he's obviously not enough, and... on some level, she just keeps getting herself tied up with these oddly solar boys and can't make her mind up between any of them. I don't even know.
Are you still thinking of expanding this into something longer?
Thinking, yes, and even sometimes trying. The blasted thing keeps fighting me. The last time I tried, Six and Baltar were the sticking point - I can't seem to figure out whether to stick with the head!Six and head!Baltar that we see in the series, or with Caprica and Gaius, or with some weird combination of both somehow. I keep hoping I'll pick it up one day and it will have fixed itself. The last Leoben/Kara fic did that, so there's hope...
