What happens when [[Battlestar Galactica (2004 TV series)|the Twelve Colonies of Kobol]] and [[Stargate Verse|the Tau'ri]] meet? Well, in the universe of this fanfic, there's only one thing that can happen: they go to war. [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3546854/1/Reunions_are_a_Bitch ''Reunions are a Bitch''] by [http://www.fanfiction.net/u/52257/Bob_Regent Bob Regent] is [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin]]. Because of [[Censorship Bureau|restrictions imposed by Fanfiction.Net on language in story titles]], it is now indexed under the name "Reunions are a Deleted", although humorously, the actual story text ''and'' the URL both retain the original title.
The backstory: two years ago, the ''Prometheus'' was on a shakedown run when it ran into the Colonials. Things soon fell off the deep end, and the ''Prometheus'' was forced to make a shooting retreat. Now the Colonials have returned, this time in the Solar System with 200 warships and the unmitigated desire to see the Thirteenth Tribe brought back into the fold of their government. A great battle ensues, and that's when things get interesting.

# It is one of the more realistic fics on the 'net -- relatively speaking, given the existing ''BSG'' and ''SG'' canons being worked with.

* [[Alternate Universe Fic]]: The big differences between the two universes are solved by Vala never showing up in ''[[Stargate SG-1]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s season 9 (thus, no Ori), Gerak and his supporters attacking Earth, an expanded Daedalus-class production, the Colonials meeting the Prometheus (thus sending all the Cylons' plans out of whack), and {{spoiler|[[Battlestar Galactica (2004 TV series)|Battlestar Galactica]] not taking place 150,000 years in Earth's past}}. Also, the Asgard choose to not blow themselves to kingdom come, but rather upload their minds into several giant supercomputers so that they can unravel and rebuild their own genetic structure, a process that will take centuries.
** This fanfic actually has an alternate universe of ''itself,'' called [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3876464/1/Worldwar_Discovering_the_Balance ''Worldwar: Discovering the Balance'',] where the big difference between ''these'' universes is that in the RAAB storyline, Ra wiped out the Race (From Turtledove's [[Worldwar]] series), while in ''Discovering the Balance'', the Race shows up at around the same time the Colonials do.
* [[Apocalypse How]]: The Colonials ''really'' like to use nuclear weapons, but still wet themselves at the thought of the Tau'ri using theirs.
Line 45 ⟶ 44:
* [[Humans Through Alien Eyes]]: [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3546854/16/Reunions_are_a_Bitch Chapter 16] could be considered an essay on the subject, and is downright hilarious, as the Colonials are mainly basing their speculation and conclusions off of fictional material, and are incapable of distinguishing fiction from nonfiction. In particular, they believe the events of ''[[Star Trek]]'' (the original series and ''Next Generation'', at least) as likely accurate, and Earth's present lack of colonies and ships is because they were nearly wiped out, or devastated, sometime in the past.
* [[Follow the Leader]]: This fic has kicked off a multitude of different stories involving the Colonials before the BSG miniseries being complete [[Jerkass]]es.
* [[Intercontinuity Crossover]]: the ''[[Stargate Verse]]'' and ''[[Battlestar Galactica (2004 TV series)|Battlestar Galactica]]''.
* [[Jerkass]]: How do you know when a Colonial is a sympathetic character? When they hate Adar. How do you know when Adar is a sympathetic character? When he hates someone who's an even bigger wanker then he is.
* [[Knight Templar]]: A lot of the Colonials could qualify as this, or at least the guys in charge. Also, to no one's surprise, Admiral Helena Cain.
