Gen

Okay, THIS is my new favourite fic!!! The author describes this as pre-slash but I'm going to go ahead and rate it as gen and I really, really, really hopes she writes a sequel that does take it to the next level, because the characterisations and writing is that good. Taking the Slower Path (we'll get there in the end)

Summary: They're not friends yet. That takes time, more than a few really disastrous missions, two anniversaries, and quite a lot of bloodshed. Jim's never been the patient type.

Exerpt - an apology, or I go tell Starfleet to back the other guys.”

“Captain Kirk,” Celo says again, “Surely you won’t derail these talks for the sake of a small cultural misunderstanding.”

“Oh, I’m pretty sure I’ll do exactly that. See, I was briefed about all the ‘cultural misunderstandings’ I could get myself into down here. Clearly someone didn’t do the same for you guys.” Jim gestures at Spock, and doesn’t look around. “This is my first officer, the science officer of the USS Enterprise, and a member of Starfleet. And if you can’t muster up a little respect for every one of those things, I don’t think we can work together, no.”

Uhura is shaking his arm, but Jim is on a roll now.

“Because rest assured, the only reason I’m not challenging you to a duel, or a fist-fight, or a mud-wrestle – whatever it is you do here – is that Spock would stop me. And then he’d declare me emotionally compromised, commandeer the ship, and drag me back to Starfleet. And no one on my crew would stop him, partially because he could squash them like a bug, and partially because after me he’s the ranking officer.”

“Captain Kirk.”

“Apology. Now. And please remember, because Uhura for some reason thought I would insult someone, I know what a formal apology from you guys should look like.”

SEE, AWESOME. GO READ!!!!



Kirk/Spock

Yay, the mind meld one done awesomely again Yayyayay! To the Best of My Recollection


Kirk/McCoy

PWP A few typos, but nice set up, and I really liked the ending. With Benefits

PWP. Hard, angry McCoy. I'm a bit conflicted about this one. I do love slutty Kirk though *g* It's so in character! His Hands, Your Mouth

I wasn't immediately sure which answer to chose, so I left it ... and forgot about it.

Thank you so much for your Reboot Recs. You are right, taking the Slower Path is so totally awesome. I want to go and re-read and then read the sequel (only she hasn't written it yet, dammit!)

I'm going to have to get me a Reboot icon, aren't I/

You don't have one yet??? I am using my favourite to show you, not because I am trying to tell you anything *g*

[ravenclaw-harpy.livejournal.com]

Do like yours. And I so totally don't feel bitch slapped! I think I have a spare icon. I'm not ready to give up any of my Merlin ones as yet.

Oh, I get it. You didn't put it in the same thread, so I had no context. I WAS JUST SHOWING YOU MY SHINY NEW ICON.
