Story recommendation: Playing Catch Up (nBSG/BattleTech)

Really good crossover between BattleTech and the 2003 Battlestar Galactica by evilauthor.

140k words and counting, often with multiple updates per day. Hit the Reader Mode button if you just want the story, none of the discussion.

Holy crap, that's high word count!  I thought 2ndAcr's The Quest at 14k pages was up there.

Yeah, I have to recommend Fighting Uphill, the latest chapter just did a great setup of future conflicts and well, it has a great AU twist to canon events.
