Summary
These are, or were intended to be when I wrote them in 2009, Gaius' diaries written after the end of the series, on New Earth. He lives with Caprica, they farm and make babies.
What I intended was, using Gaius, to make the argument that there's no separating the narrative "resolution" of the Oedipus Complex, and Colonization. And despite BSG presenting those things as noble or at least redemptive, I disagree that they are, and consider the philosophy that sustains colonization to be implicitly tied to particular psychologies and narratives.
I remain unsure as to whether I actually wrote about that disagreement or just reproduced the thing I wanted to examine. I think both, to be perfectly frank.
But in short: Life on Earth suggests ethics are more complicated than morals, even at the Baltar homestead. The Other is Categorized and Othered. Men act, women appear. Visual pleasure in narrative fanfiction both influenced and problematized by psychological repression. Gaius repeatedly misses the Nova Express. Has Oedipal issues. Drinks. Spoilers: Numerous

Summary
Far in the future, most of the human race has been wiped out by a plague, and those who are left are forced to leave Earth. They're guided by their Nations, the few that are left, who are desperately trying not to lose themselves as old cultures and history slowly fade away. But maybe, just maybe, there's hope out there somewhere in the stars.
