Middle Night Excerpt Meme

I was going to wait on this for... no good reason, really. (If it's not a good reason at 1:35 AM it's not a good reason. The inverse, however, is not true.) Henceforth: Snagged from [livejournal.com profile] emiime, including her addendum.

Tell me about a story I never wrote, (eg, "The one where Chris Pike and Winona Kirk discover they had the same dream about George*.") and I'll write you a snippet from it. ETA my addition: from the rough draft. I contemplated writing these all and letting them sit a couple weeks like I usually do, and decided against it.

Snippets will be 100-500 words.

Rules:
1. One per person, please.
2. AUs and mirror!verse fics are okay.
3. As usual, het, slash, femmeslash, gen requests are all okay.
4. Your request should begin: "The one where..."

Standard rules apply, if you need to know if I know a fandom, just give me a shout and I'll let you know!

If you want something else, ask me about it, or just request it. If I'm not familiar with the fandom/characters you request, I'll ask you to prompt again!

Emi's addition: I make no guarantees that I will get to, or be inspired by, each and every prompt. But I'll try! ETA: Whee, okay, I really have enough now, thanks. ETAA: More polished versions here.

*: [livejournal.com profile] lomedet and [livejournal.com profile] tigerbright, this one's for you. Don't let me forget to include the making out.

The one where Leah McCoy and Nyota Uhura had a conversation that lasted for more than two seconds. (Mirrorverse, please.)

The one where Kirk, Spock, and Uhura get married in Vegas (or the equivalent).

I loved the one where Uhura showed Spock Prime just what he was missing in his universe. I especially liked how squirmy and hot that made nuSpock feel and how that deepened their relationship, too.

The one where Leah tries to make a friend (I really want it to be Rand, but your choice), and Kirk finds out.

Oh dear, we're giving you a lot of Mirror Verse Leah ones but...The one where Kirk makes Leah laugh in spite of herself (or the one where Leah's sick and Kirk is kind of nice to her--because, y'know, it's no fun being a bastard when she can't really appreciate it).

The one where Hikaru is helplessly proud of Pavel.

The one where Rosie Cotton saved Marigold Gamgee from an unpleasant encounter with a Ruffian only a few days before Sam got home...

The one where Pike and Kirk set up Number One and Gaila, because life is short and they want them to be happy (and because Kirk thinks it would be incredibly hot. What? Just because he's with Chris doesn't mean he doesn't have eyes.)

The one where Jim brings Bones flowers.

The one where Spock has to babysit a bunch of 5 year old Vulcans, and he takes them on a field trip. I laugh every time I think about that one!

Ahhhh! Am I too late? Well, just in case I'm not:

The one where McCoy and Pike sit around getting drunk while complaining about Jim. Or maybe complain about Jim while getting drunk. And then they make out.

The one where there were Kirk has the genderswitch trait, the ability to switch genders, something unusual but not unknown on Earth.

Okay, I'm greedy, but...

The one where Alan meets his first grandchild. Which one of his daughters-in-law have the first child is up to you.

(And yes, that's a spoiler for the season finale, in that there are two daughters in law.)

I really, absolutely adore the one where Character A realizes that one of the most wonderful things about Character B and PossiblyCharacter C is that they can take whatever s/he can dish out - no matter how much s/he struggles, they'll still be holding her. That her passion/needs/fears won't break them or scare them. That s/he doesn't have to be afraid to let go, with them.

Eep. Am I too late for this? *has been sort of distracted from proper flist love*

How about . . . The one where George Kirk and Cadet Pike pulled that prank where they took all of the chairs (and assorted other-kinds-of-seating) out of the Tucker Hall auditorium overnight and re-assembled them in their exact configuration on the library lawn. I think that was the one where they got distracted making out halfway through, and Winona saved the prank AND their dignity by showing up at just the right moment to appreciate their inappropriate hotness AND distract campus security . . .

(Ok ok, I'm asses at prompts, I'll stop now. But I see them all laughing so much during this story, being beautiful and young, that now I'm sort of in love with it . . .)

Also, for the love of all flailing, THERE IS SO MUCH AWESOME HERE, I don't even know where to start.

*seconds 3/4ths of the prompts*
*likes the remaining quarter*
*squees and stares at the filled ones*

The one where Winona Kirk met Galia and Bones, Pike and Spock!Prime were overprotective and Uhura learnt to appreciate Jim, or how Spock and Scotty walked in on Kirk sandwich

OTP: Galia/Kirk/Bones

And the last, from my files.

The one where, after Spock Prime informed Nu!Jim of his BFFs with benefits relationship with Kirk Prime, Nu!Jim, Bones, Spock and Uhura had to disentangle and follow all the threads of destiny, attraction, and love to end with Jim timeshared between Bones and Spock-and-Uhura.
