Fic! Yes, I like that idea very much.

And -- going off at something of a tangent -- you have to wonder how much slack Adama cut Starbuck during those two years on the Galactica between Zak's death and mini. My suspicion is that she wouldn't have survived in a more rigorous environment (ie somewhere that wasn't an elderly Battlestar tagged for decommissioning, serving under a commander she was personally close to). I'm sure there were a number of people on the Galactica who had reason to be resentful of her favoured position.
