[browngirl]

Title: Jamais Vu
Rating: As it is: PG As it was intended to be: NC-17
Characters/Pairing/Threesome/Etc: One/Pike
Content Advisory: Bodyswap and consequent genderplay
Summary: "Boyce said I'm the only captain he knows who would stumble onto a bodyswap device on shore leave."
Notes: Meant as a WNW gift for circ_bamboo. I think I posted a trimmed chunk of this sometime or other, but I can't find it.




One's quarters do not look like her own.

Nothing has been moved, nothing has been altered, but the room feels infinitesimally smaller, and the fingers she trails along her shelves and bulkheads are larger and broader, their nails bare of polish, their knuckles square. She turns and there's empty space at her hips while her shoulders jut into the wall. In truth, it isn't her room that has changed.

Her door chime sounds, and when she calls 'Enter' she finds herself, unsurprisingly, looking into her own face, angular jaw and heavy hair and familiar blue eyes, but neither the sparkle nor the smirk are hers. "Hello, Commander," her Captain says with her voice.

"Captain Pike," she responds with his. "Come in."

He steps across the threshold, swinging her limbs, and promptly strikes a hip on the side table. One watches in worried fascination as her own face creases in pain, her own voice snarls, "Ow! Dammit, these --" He measures her hips between her hands, letting loose a low musical growl as he looks down at them, and something shifts and melts inside her, hot and liquid.

He looks up smiling. "You're laughing at me, banging up your body."

She shakes his head. "You should see what I've done to your shoulders." He smiles wider, and she admits a moment of vain pride to herself that the effect is quite pleasant; he reaches forward and her hand feels narrower and more delicate than she remembers when she wraps it in his. "Chris," she says, with his voice, and watches him close her eyes and shiver with her body.

"One," he says, softly, raptly, and looks up at her again. "Did Boyce tell you he would send me here?"

"He said he thinks we should remain in the same space until the effect reverses. What did he say to you?"

"That I'm the only captain he knows who would stumble onto a bodyswap device on shore leave, and that I'm luckier than I deserve that you were standing beside me when I set it off. And he's right." He steps a little closer, as close as they dare stand in public, and as he lifts her chin she watches the way her hair falls back from her throat and wonders if he did, before.

[steps closer, and says Boyce is right, though it's odd to be looking up into his own face. I didn't know my eyebrows could do that.]

["when do you think this will wear off?" "eight to ten hours. Spock sent scans to this wunderkind student of his at the Academy and she helped him translate. Also confirmed by the chroniton measurements.]

[she asks after his psychology and he says he's fine, more laughter]

[they sit down, he apologizes for making her miss shore leave, she tries to say 'false modesty does not become you' sharply but it comes out a rumble, he laugs and says here we are for shore leave, what do we do now, she says, 'in the spirit of scientific inquiry,' and he laughs and says 'well of course' and they make out. Noting bruises where they banged themselves. He asks when she strokes him if this is how it feels when he does it to her, and she says, "I would expect so, let's find out.

During sex: touching themselves, One thinking about remembering this precise intensity of touch to use on him later. He talks about when his chest hair came in.

Afterwards, there's no fanfare, no tingle, no nothing; she closes her eyes and wakes up in her body and he's in his. Was fun but a little masturbatory, nice to be back. Do you think we'd switch if we had sex again? We can always switch back. End with kissing.

Pike/Number One or ...

...

So, Our Heroes find the body-swap device from Turnabout Intruder, get their bodies swapped and, upon finding out that the effect is temporary so that they can stop freaking out about being stuck that way forever, decide to go get to know their new temporary bodies.

Sexily.


(Extra bonus points of the dudes have a hard time adjusting to having their center-of-gravity relocated to their hips. This means running into tables and general awkwardness, because I am projecting and because after nearly ten years with hips I am still not completely used to them and still run into tables and stuff all the damned time.)

This is awesome and I love the fact that you did all that research on/for me. :-D

(also I do not have a pike/one icon.)

[rubynye.livejournal.com]

Of course I did! *beams at you*

(also I do not have a pike/one icon.)
Hie thee to taraljc's!

I adore Pike/One, and this was a delicious twist. But as much as the story snippet, I enjoyed the insight into your writing process. You are apparently eloquent even in your notes to yourself!

[echoinautumn.livejournal.com]

Seconded! My notes are usually long and rambling, mostly stream-of-consciousness (I talk out thoughts in my fic notes, so I end up with paragraphs of my thought processes on why I made a decision/what my other options were), and often include phrases like "blah blah blah make something up here".

*laugh* I have [insert sex here] and things like that peppering my notes, too.

[rubynye.livejournal.com]

*blush* I write detailed notes so I won't forget things, is all.

Did you see that Ensign Ale has a cameo in "Hybrid Vigor"!
