bedlamsbardPotential BSG AU: The one where Boomer and not-yet-Athena!Sharon team up to save Helo and a bunch of human prisoners from a Farm on Caprica.
Goes AU in: Probably Kobol's Last Gleaming, where Helo and Sharon are captured by the Cylons on Caprica and are both sent to a Farm. The other Cylons are planning to box Sharon as soon as her baby is born and use Helo to father more human-Cylon hybrids on other Eights. After she resurrects, Boomer finds out about this and decides that one way to redeem herself is to rescue Helo and take him back to Galactica. She breaks the other Sharon out of prison, where they have a tense and terribly awkward stand-off ("Do you love him?" "What?" "Helo. Do you love him?"), then go get Helo, who's all, "...two Sharons. Two Boomers. What the hell. Okay, I'll freak out later," and then insists on taking all the other human prisoners in the Farm with them. So they steal a Heavy Raider and return to Galactica! ...who freaks the fuck out, because, okay, dead guy and two identical dead Cylons. DON'T SEE THAT EVERYDAY. And then Chief angsts.
...only problem would be the timeline, because of Starbuck on Caprica + the Kobol plot + the Fleet split. Presumably Starbuck gets the Arrow of Apollo and goes back to Kobol and everything goes the way it did in the show except for Helo and Sharon, sans the Resistance subplot, but maybe not. Also for how it serves no point except to amuse me.
