Labor Day Meme: Stories That Never Were

[browngirl]

From petronelle, who filled this in glorious manner. Give me the title of a story I've never written, and feedback telling me what you liked best about it, and I will tell you any of: the first sentence, the last sentence, the thing that made me want to write it, the biggest problem I had while writing it, why it almost never got posted, the scene that hit the cutting room floor but that I wish I'd been able to salvage, or something else that I want readers to know.

Feel free to try any fandom you have reason to think I know, but if I don't at all know the fandom I'll have to say so.

I always had a soft spot in my heart for your "Conjugate, Not Conjugal" series, perhaps especially since Pike/Gaila was not exactly a widespread pairing. What I've always liked best about it was the depiction of two very strong people who have each been through a lot, but don't need someone constantly by their side to complete them (and never to save them). They are both unconventional and independent, and find a way make that work within a relationship (for a given value of relationship), even if others might not understand. On a less cerebral note, the last bonus scene with Number One managed to be brain-meltingly hot without feeling sleazy or exploitative.

Holy crap, I want to read this.

The first sentence: Gaila enters Starfleet Academy because of Captain Pike.
The last sentence: She looked over her shoulder with a blinding smile. "Are you coming?"
The thing that made me want to write it: Pike's documented thing for Orion girls You said it so well above! You saw everything I was trying to do. I would just be restating if I tried to describe.
The biggest problem I had while writing it/Why it almost never got posted: Doing Number One justice.
The scene that hit the cutting room floor: The threesome with Kirk. My id wanted it, my superego said no.
Something else that I want readers to know: I'm actually working on a Pike/Gaila story right now; thank you for this, as it helps.

I'm actually working on a Pike/Gaila story right now
YES! ::fistpumps; smashes elbow into chair:: Owwww.

The threesome with Kirk. My id wanted it, my superego said no.
My id coshed my superego and is standing over its unconscious body, cheerfully projecting those images into my forebrain. Is there such a thing as too much sex appeal? Because really: what better way to cheer up an invalid than two incredibly athletic, flexible, nubile, kinky, imaginative, gorgeous partners? Talk about incentive to get better...
