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
( Plans and Schemes, Pike/Kirk/McCoy, PG-13 )

***

Prompt: Kirk, McCoy - Nah, I'm just going to keep fucking him until he realizes we're perfect for each other.
( Beating Around the Bush... If You Know What I Mean, Kirk/McCoy, Uhura, R )

***

Prompt: Kirk, McCoy - I have only been in this city 3 nights and there are already 4 bars I can never go back to again.
( Pull Me In, Kirk/McCoy pre-slash, PG-13 )

***

From 12/12/10, with the theme "perfumes" comes...


Prompt: Scotty, Gaila - Secret Moments
( Secret Moments, Scotty/Gaila, G )

***

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

So I decided that finishing this and baking cookies would cheer me up. It helped.


Title: The Many Kisses of Jim and Bones
Fandom: Star Trek Reboot
Pairing: Kirk/McCoy
Rating: PG-13
Length: ~2500 words
Warnings: Mild sexual references, language, coerced public kissing, ridiculousness
Disclaimer: Sadly not mine, merely borrowed.
Summary: Seven kisses Jim and Leonard had to perform in public and one that was in private, and simply for themselves.
A/N: Written from a prompt from jim_and_bones featuring two pictures of kissing. I'm considering this fic a loosely-connected sequel to Just Warming Up, a previous Kirk and McCoy kissing fic. Also, a cookie to anyone who catches the LARP reference, unsubtle though it may be.


( The Many Kisses of Jim and Bones )

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 )

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!

Prompt: McCoy, Joanna - Playing in the sprinklers
( Family Matters; Kirk/McCoy, Joanna, G )

***
Prompt: Uhura, Gaila – Butterflies
( Jeweltones; Uhura/Gaila, G )

***
Prompt: Pike, McCoy - Spring Fever
( Spring Fever; Pike/McCoy, R, (Yeah, it's a wee bit porny) )

***

And now I am going to get ready for work and pack my lunch up. Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to work I go...

PS: Anyone want to write me Kirk/McCoy comment fic/comment porn to cheer me up when I get home in the morning?

I survived the long week last week and then I had a nice weekend filled with good friends and laughing and video games. I am in a good mood :)

On to the ficlets! This weeks theme was body parts. Don't worry, I mostly behaved myself.


Prompt: Spock, McCoy - Fingertips

( Exploration, Spock/McCoy, R(ish) )

***

Prompt: Kirk, McCoy - Knuckles

( Dependable, Kirk/McCoy, PG-13 )

***

Prompt: Sulu, Uhura - Palm

( Slide, Sulu, Uhura, PG )

***

Prompt: Kirk, McCoy - Nape of the Neck

( Unfair Advantage, Kirk/McCoy, PG-13) )

I am working next weekend, so limited B2S, if any at all. Sadness. But at least I'll have something nice to read when I get home :) Someone write porn, ok? Cuz that would be very pleasant to come home to.

So tonight's activities resulted in two bridge2sickbay ficlets and a batch of seriously delicious chocolate cookies.

The B2S theme for this week was poetry quotes.

I wasn't familiar with either of the quotes when I read them at the comm, so the fics were inspired by the line(s) alone. I googled the poems after the fact to find out where the lines came from.

( To Share a Journey, Gaila/Pike, PG )

***

( Warmth, Spock/Uhura, G )

***

So, yes. I feel absurdly proud to have produced anything at all tonight. I've been struggling all week, wanting write and yet not typing a single keystroke. So yes, glad to have anything at all to show for my weekend :)

My cookies are excellent as well :) Far more polished an attempt than the ficlets, by far :) I used a recipe recommended by wesleysgirl which can be found here only without using the buttercream to make them into sandwiches. I've found that while I adore the cookie part itself, I stink at making buttercream frosting (when I tried the recipe originally it wouldn't stiffen up and was gooey and messy and grainy and just overall terrible). So I left it out and nommed nicely tonight on lovely chocolate coffee cookies. Half the batch is tucked away into the cookie jar and the other half is packed up to take to work for my coworkers to descend upon like a ravening horde.

Back to bridge2sickbay for a moment. A couple of my prompts were posted but not filled. I am reposting them here to a) hopefully encourage someone to write them for me *pleading eyes* or, if need be, b) remember them for some undisclosed time in the future to try out myself.

~Pike, Kirk or McCoy, Kirk - Follow me ever - desert me not while I live. (Ashes of Soldiers by Walt Whitman)

~Author's Choice - The sun and moon get crossed, but they never touch (On Looking Up By Chance at the Constellations by Robert Frost)

~Spock, Uhura - Your soul is oftentimes a battlefield, upon which your reason and your judgment wage war against passion and your appetite. (Reason & Passion by Khalil Gibran)

~Winona, Pike - I could've died for love - But for livin' I was born (Life is Fine by Langston Hughes)

I'm in a rather down mood tonight, but by the end of reading this week's fills I was starting to feel a bit better. Interestingly, 3 out of my 4 fills were rather cheerful, in opposition to my mood. Go figure.

This week's prompts were picture prompts. I've included them with the fic.

Onwards...
