Spaceship View & Character Detail Meme

Today's Astronomy Picture of the Day is a video arranging photographs by the Cassini spacecraft into views of what flying towards/by Saturn would look like. It's stunning and inspiring.

Meanwhile, I do so love memes, not least at moments right now when I'm afflicted with Writer's Slowdown or something. I got this from the incomparable [livejournal.com profile] igrockspock: Ask me about a pairing (or character) I have written (or haven't and you think I should write) and I will give you five facts about them or a ficlet or a song that is CLEARLY THEIR SONG or what they order from the Chinese place down the street, etc, etc.
ETA [livejournal.com profile] sharpestscalpel wrote an absolutely gorgeous ficlet about Gaila taking McCoy flying, and Gaila and her life.

I love K/S/U so much, for all I hardly write it.

Five K/S/U ideas I should ficletize one day:

1) The second time they all had sex.
2) Nyota and Leonard discussing The Care And Feeding Of Jim Troublesome Kirk.
3) Discussing/planning T'Amanda's conception.
4) The fivesome with Leonard and Gaila and a room in Risa which was entirely soft surfaces.
5) The time Spock calmly informed Jim that he was caught precisely between punching him and kissing him, and Jim was about to say "Hit me first" and Nyota actually had to put her hand over his mouth to stop him.

I want number five to exist so badly that I would write it myself. Jsyk.

THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT.

Um. I am trying to say something to encourage you to write all of these, but my brain got stuck here because OMG THE VISUAL.

*beams at you* Yeah, it is fun to imagine. But where to start and how to finish?
