One Sentence Words - the Epsilon Set
These were inspired by ezaspi, who posted a set of these and a delta set at her livejournal (also known as the sentences of doom. :) ) These ones are optimistic and generally have a happy theme. They are not connected in any way, nor do they follow a timeline. They're just fun speculations on where Lee and Kara's relationship might go.
Spoilers: Everything so far, but the future speculations are all my own. (Ron Moore doesn't seem inclined to make my favourite pilots get together any time soon so I have to do it myself.)
