Furthermore, the first fifty sentences story I ever read was the wonderful "AlphabetisizedImprovised" by Phoebonica on this website, and I have taken the liberty of using the same random prompt words as she did.
Vocabulary
"There's no vocabulary for…love that's lived in but not looked at, love within the light of which all else is seen..." (T.S. Eliot)
Summer
In photographs, Zak held her close with warmth that never died.
Fall
His brother waited, crisp and cool, with downcast eyes that carried hints of riches and of shortening days.
Honor
He'd learned to raise those eyes to her, but after the first time, neither looked too deep.
Fire
Then her lover, her student, her future burnt to ash.
Rain
Commander Adama offered her a wealth of empty space; in his deep silence, she learned to hear the rain.
War
When she found out Lee was coming aboard, she prepared to fight; five hours later, she could barely remember what petty battles she'd imagined.
Secret
Confessing to Lee was easier than she'd expected; confessing to his father was worse than she had ever dreamed.
Green
Her nuggets had never experienced combat – they barely knew how to retreat – but when Hot Dog turned and opened fire, her gut reaction was pride.
Foot
Lee stood beside her as she levered herself out of bed, and when the toes of her injured leg brushed the floor, he flinched.
Snakes
It was easy to think of the Raider as an animal; she lived in a nest of Vipers that came to life beneath her hands.
Roses
On Cloud Nine, as she prowled the gardens, Lee lay back and admired her thorns.
Pretty
Soon enough, he found more to admire.
Wood
Her morning-after misery infuriated him, but even as he shouted he couldn't shake an intuitive suspicion that there was a forest here he was missing for the trees.
Poison
She shouldn't listen to him when he's like this, but of course she does.
Regret
The fresh cut on his lip marked neither the first nor the greatest of his regrets where Kara was concerned, but it still stung.
Flying
They were barely speaking, but it still shocked him when she jumped away; in flight, they'd never hurt each other before.
Duty
In the collapse of old loyalties, they answered the same call.
Beginning
He kissed her, but that wasn't the beginning.
Dark
On Kobol she savored his tiny, familiar rustlings in the night, unaware that he was listening for hers.
Old
The old saying that boys grew up to become their fathers and marry their mothers had always been his nightmare; braced for the wrong scenario, it took him years to notice who it was Kara resembled.
Ugly
It was his first thought upon seeing the Pegasus – he soon discovered how right he was.
Despair
He knew if he stopped fighting she would die alone, and he stopped anyway.
Drink
"To right now," they pledged, but she guarded a past and he needed a future.
Doors
More than one door closed as she swung the hatch shut behind her.
Welcome
"Welcome back," he murmured, and for a minute she felt familiar in his arms.
New
Then he met Sam and the woman Kara became alongside him.
Lost
They were losing each other by choice, and once Lee finally got desperate enough, he pointed that out.
Hope
She reached for the one thing she'd never allowed herself.
Grave
"I love you, Kara Thrace," he rasped, eyes solemn as he dipped his head in an unexpected gesture of submission.
Taboo
Guilt and fear hit full force with the dawn, so strong that sacrilege seemed a reasonable price for release.
Water
When she used the gods as a shield to cover her own ends, she expected to pay in tears.
Winter
As fluid filled Sam's lungs, she counted her sins and swallowed her pride.
Strange
After the dollhouse on New Caprica, the world was painted in different colors.
Head
She swung for his thrice-damned jaw and relished the loud crack as she connected.
Apples
Waiting at the base of her Viper's ladder, he allowed himself to notice how the cold had flushed her cheeks with red, round blooms.
Food
He held her while she vomited up her first food in days; the radiation had left them all so weak that she honestly misunderstood the tremors in his hands.
Flexible
They were both crooked, but ill-matched integrities kept jostling them out of position; neither managed to bend quite enough.
Hollow
"I married you because I loved you, Dee," he said.
Bugs
She traced the wings of the goddess and let the memory of her mother's frantic curses lift her up.
Stable
He sat beside her on the hangar deck exchanging rueful sorrows and felt this was the closest they had ever come to equanimity.
Air
The last time he'd tasted death, air had trickled gently through his fingers; this time, it crushed her plane like a battering ram.
Light
He gave a strangled laugh when his father first displayed the winged Aurora atop his model ship – it made for a nice sentiment, but Kara hadn't been a morning person.
Solid
He didn't believe his eyes until he barreled into her and the heft of her body threw him off-balance; after that, there was no going back.
Snow
When Leoben said "angel," she felt a seeping chill she'd forgotten since childhood.
Metal
Two sets of rings and tags mixed blood and metal; for years she'd gathered shrapnel, and after the mutiny she added a bullet to her collection.
Coffee
Lee struggled to remember the man who'd died to save his father, but he suspected, with a burst of disgust, that he'd never really looked past the thermos Jaffee carried.
Spring
She was the herald of change, the proof that life could be made new.
End
She was the harbinger of death who led them all to their end.
Earth
Together, they found it – twice.
Peace
She vanished into blue horizon, but the sky had never limited them.
