What a lovely day

It's warm and sunny but not muggy; I'm coming off of my fifth viewing of Star Trek (which is, I think, a personal record: I also saw it in five different movie theaters no less; yesterday was my first visit to the adorable theater in Arlington); today's Astronomy Picture of the Day is really beautiful; it's Friday; and Justice Sotomayor is continuing to make history.

Electrify My Life ( Star Trek XI, NC-17)

Title: Electrify My Life
Fandom: Star Trek XI

Sometimes Sulu got a little bored, sometimes he had a little too much adrenaline." from silentflux, modly mod of rounds_of_kink, and also this prompt asking for naturally dominant Pavel at st_xi_kink.
All Thanks To: lomedet for consistently putting up with me.

Title from "Starlight" by Muse, once again.
( The most pulse-poundingly scary aspect of this is Pavel's silence. )
