You guys are wonderful and sussed out each of my pairings in the pairing meme! For those that guessed pairings and gave me prompts, I have been studiously working on writing drabbles. Damn, I missed writing. Clearly I need to ignore the towering mound of schoolwork in favor of screwing around more often, right? Right.

Without further ado, I give you:

shagungu
Prompt: Sherlock/John, and the skull

( The Voyeur; Sherlock, Sherlock/John, R )

I didn't post my drabbles from the last two

bridge2sickbay fests that I participated in, so I'm going to fix that now.

From 12/5/10, the theme was "Texts From Last Night"

Prompt: Chapel, Gaila - I feel like I should put "don't judge me" in the special instructions for the pizza guy.
( Proper Tipping Procedure, Chapel/Gaila, PG-13 )

***

Prompt: Pike, Kirk - I just want to let you know it was a unanimous decision that we would eat you first if we ever turned into cannibals, we figured with all the bacon you eat you may taste like it. It's a chance we are willing to take with your life...don't forget that we love you

Prompt: Scotty, Gaila - Secret Moments

***

Prompt: Kirk, McCoy, Joanna - Marshmallow
( Sticky Fingers, Kirk/McCoy, Joanna, PG )

I finally saw Red yesterday. It was entertaining and completely over the top (somehow more so than even the previews had led me to believe). I will likely buy it on DVD when it is released.

Karl Urban was hot and had the tough job of taking himself and his character seriously while the movie around him was madcap. Helen Mirren is absolutely phenomenal and I love her (love love love!), and Bruce Willis and Mary Louise Parker won me over. Morgan Freeman, John Malkovich, and Brian Cox were hilarious and quirky. I liked the "caper" aspect to the movie, although it did take me a while to settle in and just accept the movie for what it was: funny, quirky, ridiculous fun.

I have a short shift at work this afternoon (What was I thinking?!?! Oh, right, I was thinking that I want to not be broke) and am waiting to make sure I won't be canceled. I've sorted my piled up mail, organized my bills-to-be-paid, washed and folded some of my pile of laundry, and broke down cardboard boxes and took them out for recycling. In short, I feel like I've actually accomplished something. I also have begun a recipe for pomegranate truffles that sounds divine. The filling is now hardening in the fridge. We shall see how it turns out tonight when I get back and finish it.

My goal is to have a draft of my

space_wrapped fic finished by Friday. Is anyone available and interested in taking a look at it or even doing a full beta? Star Trek, Kirk/McCoy, humor, unknown length (not long though).

This week's theme was squicks. Prompts were both squicks that the prompter has as well as things the prompter likes that other people often find squicky.

Being unable to leave well enough alone I simply had to turn two of the prompts on their ears. I love Uhura and tend not to find the "Uhura is a total bitch for no apparent reason" fics as well as the "McCoy is a wuss who must always be saved and never do the saving" trope to not be my cup of tea, so I toyed with those "squicks" a bit. I know, I know, perhaps not what the prompter intended (or maybe it was?) but since this comm is a free-for-all comm rather than a gift or wish fulfillment comm, I figure it's okay to risk not interpreting the prompts as intended. My cup of tea is not your cup of tea and vice versa.

My contributions were as follows:

Prompt: Uhura, Author's Choice - Bitch!Uhura
( Authority; Uhura, OC, Kirk, PG )

***

Prompt: Kirk, Spock, McCoy - Weak!McCoy
( A Man of Many Talents; McCoy/Kirk/Spock, R )

***

Prompt: Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Uhura – Affairs
( Imagination; Uhura/McCoy/Kirk/Spock, PG-13 )

***

Prompt: Sarek, Amanda - Pon farr
( Fully Informed; Sarek/Amanda, PG-13 )

***

I don't know why I write cutesy Sarek/Amanda. They weren't cutesy in the movie, so I have no idea where it's coming from. I like it though ;)

The theme this week was office supplies.

Prompt: Kirk, McCoy - Desk Lamp
( Consequences, Kirk/McCoy, R )

***

Prompt: Kirk, Scotty, Chekov, Gaila - Office chairs
( Flexible, Kirk, Scott, Gaila/Chekov, PG-13R )

***

Prompt: Kirk, Gaila - Ledger
( Keeping Track of You, Gaila/Kirk, R )

***

Prompt: Kirk, McCoy - Rubber Bands
( Snap, Kirk/McCoy, PG-13 )

***

Prompt: Spock, Uhura - Calendar
warnings for references to difficulty in conceiving
( The Fourth Day, Spock/Uhura, PG )

***

B2S is back and this weeks theme was: song titles!

Considering the comment fic from the other day and one fo the B2S fills below, I have determined that apparently this was porn weekend. Who knew?

Prompt: Pike, Kirk - on your knees, on your back, who'd you call when things got bad (Weightless, Black Lab)

( Weight of Command, Pike/Kirk, NC-17, warnings: bdsm )

***

Prompt: Kirk, McCoy - It's a hole in the wall, it's a dirty free for all (Take It Off)

( Distractions, Kirk/McCoy, R )

Late posting these to my own journal. Ah well. The week's theme was submissions to the My Life Is Average website. Once again I wound up having my own little mini-theme within the prompts I snagged and it was apparently academy fic.

Prompt: Uhura, Gaila - Today I realized that Build-A-Bear's slogan is "Where best friends are made." I found that quite sad.
( The Start of a Beautiful Friendship; Uhura, Gaila (background Spock/Uhura), PG, warnings: character death )

****

Prompt: McCoy, Joanna - Today my 2yr old daughter said her first knock knock joke. She said "knock knock" I said "who's there?" she said "me"
( Knock, Knock; Kirk, McCoy, Joanna, PG )

****

Prompt: Kirk, Uhura - Today, I was driving through the canyon when I passed a sign that said, "Falling rocks". In between the two words, someone had written "in love", so it now read "Falling in love rocks."
( Expressing Oneself; Kirk/Uhura, PG )

So I spent my morning being cranky about something that I cannot do a darn thing to fix until Tuesday, but stayed cranky for several hours regardless. Then I spent 3 hours cleaning and putting shelf paper in my cabinets (I HATE shelf paper: truly, madly, deeply hate it!), which I'm not going to credit with improving my mood because that just doesn't make sense, but at the end of it all I was mostly better.

And then I came home and caught a few rounds of

bridge2sickbay. This week's theme was AUs. My personal theme this week seems to have also been CRACK. I dunno, folks. I just don't know.

Prompt: Kirk, Chapel, Rand - Nunnery
( The Plight of the Rake; Kirk, Chapel, Rand, PG, cracky 'historical' AU )

***

This one is a melding of two prompts. It just sorta happened.

Prompt: Kirk, Chekov - Police Detectives
Prompt: Kirk, Gaila - Cybersex addicts
( Another Day on the Job; (Sam)Kirk, Chekov, Kirk/Gaila, PG-13, crack) )

***

I was bad and definitely did not stick with the spirit of the prompt, but I couldn't resist the idea of Kirk and McCoy as evil game designers planning to wipe out your entire family on Oregan Trail.

Prompt: Kirk, McCoy - Traveling the Oregon Trail or similar
( Creative Minds are Evil; Kirk, McCoy, PG, probably cracky? )

***

This week's theme was: constellations

Prompt: Kirk, Spock, McCoy - Summer Triangle
( Summer Triangle; Kirk/Spock/McCoy, R )

***

Prompt: Kirk, McCoy - Peacock
( Peacock; Kirk/McCoy, PG-13 )

***

Prompt: Pike, Gaila - Phoenix
( Wanna See Me Rise?*; Pike/Gaila, R )

***

Ummmm, clearly I'm a horndog this week? I dunno.

Fun night! Tonight's theme was Crimes & Misdemeanors.

Prompt: Sarek, Amanda - Arson
( Arson; Amanda/Sarek, Spock, G )

***

Prompt: Kirk, McCoy - Corruption of a minor
( Corruption; Kirk/McCoy, Joanna, PG-13 )

***
Prompt: Jim Kirk, Sam Kirk - Vandalism
( Hooligans; Winona, Sam, Jim, PG )

***
Prompt: Enterprise Crew - In Pennsylvania it is illegal to have over 16 women live in a house together because that constitutes a brothel...however up to 120 men can live together, without breaking the law.
( Pimp Ship Flying High; Ensemble, PG-13, crack )

***
Prompt: Spock, McCoy - Extortion
( Valuable )

***

So I was in France for the last B2S and it starts ridiculously later over in Europe, so I only managed one fic and then crashed hard. On the plus side I intend it to be suggestive of K/S/M which is one of my guaranteed-to-press-my-buttons topics, so that's nice :) Only suggestive, though, because writing porny scenes scares me when there's just two players (hence my tendency for fade-to-blacks and ending before the porn actually gets much going). Add in a third and I run in fear. I shall stick to reading porny threesomes. Fortunately this fandom does not disappoint with the number of threesome/moresome options out there.

This weeks theme: Band Names
Prompt: Prompt: Author's Choice - …And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead
( Trail of Dead; Kirk/Spock/McCoy, PG-13 )

Spent part of my evening eating my mother's delicious potato salad and making dipped shortbread cookies. *nom nom nom*

I also finished reading a book in a series that I enjoy by Ilona Andrews (paranormal urban fantasy sort of thing with magic, vampires, shapeshifters/weres, etc) called Magic Bleeds. Most of my reading-for-enjoyment lately has been online fanfic, so my actual paper-book reading has suffered. It's nice to have read, finished, and enjoyed a "real" book. I'm thinking of reading Mansfield Park next.

My two

bridge2sickbay offerings are below. This week's theme was: AU

I find AUs challenging. Not in an "I hate them and never want to do them" way, since I actually do really like reading them, but in an "Oh stars this is hard way. Practice, practice, practice, right? This will make two of my WIPs rather challenging, however, as they are AUs...

Anyways, allons-y!

***

Prompt: Kirk, McCoy - AU in which Jim has a twin (Sam)
( Possibilities; McCoy, Kirk, Sam Kirk, PG-13 )

***

Prompt: Pike, Kirk, McCoy - Jane Austen-ish AU
( Elegance and Expectations; McCoy, Uhura, (Pike/Kirk/McCoy), PG )

***

I'm working tomorrow but then have three days off - woo!

Also, anyone up for a beta? Star Trek, Pike/McCoy, R(ish), short(ish)

Well, though I got canceled for part of my shift I've just found out I've got to drag myself in for the rest of it. I was able to get some sleep today, so that's a plus.

bridge2sickbay ficlets below! This week's theme was Spring!

( Family Matters; Kirk/McCoy, Joanna, G )
