Galley fic is a recurring trope in the Blake's 7 fandom, with most examples being Blake/Avon. The general premise of these fics centres around a character, usually Blake, sneaking a snack from the galley and being caught in the act, usually by Avon. In most cases, the underlying premise is that Blake has been put on a diet (sometimes by Cally)/is not allowed said foodstuff for an established reason, and so he must convince Avon not to give his thieving away.

Other variants of the trope involve shared meals/baked goods in the galley which inevitably turn into more.

Although both characters benefit mutually from the situation in most cases, tragically, Blake does not always get his just desserts.
