So for flashes this month, I’m going to do something a little different. The flashes for March will all be no more than 100 words. So, I will tell a little snippet of a tale in those 100 words or less. Here is today’s! (I used Archer’s quarters, simply because I liked his better than the teeny one in TOS…we never really see Jim’s in the AOS movies, except his closet and sink in Beyond).
Jim woke to gentle rubbing on his back and for a moment he just let the rubbing continue, eyes still closed.
“Jim, you are due on the bridge in thirty minutes.”
He groaned. “Just a few more.”
“You will be late,” came the murmur.
For a few second, Jim mulishly thought, ‘So what. I’m the captain. What will they do?’
He sighed then, opened his eyes, and turned to lie on his back to stare up at the ceiling. His heart rate picked up as he thought of all the ramifications.
“So, now we’re a thing?”
“Yes,” Spock replied.

“So, now we’re a thing”!!!? Awww! Love it. Nice way to be awoken… to gentle rubbing on his back.
I can see that I’m going to be begging for more added to these drabbles this month. ❤️💚😘🖖

Good choice – I liked Archer’s bedroom so much more than TOS Jim’s, but still, his Enterprise was way smaller and deep space travel was brand new. So I always thought Archer was very lucky to get what he got!
Ok, so I can make the mental rearrangement to this. Did you say before they’ll be every day?
I too will always want more, but as far as previous T-Th fics, I can do that on my own anyway. It was interesting to see which ones YOU wanted to pick.
“So now we’re a thing?” Jim could be saying that about your March blog, too! haha
Can’t wait for more.
But then if it’d been 3000 words, I’d still feel that way.

Yes M-F for the 100 word flashes
Yeah poor TOS Jim and all of them really had the tiniest quarters! By the time Picard came along he had an entire suite! Much more lucky!

I usually don’t read drabbles (at least not on AO3), but hey, it seems I’m about to change my mind. Might just be yours though :). Just that one line totally made my day – “So, now we’re a thing?” – the question that is never really a question :). The month of March is looking splendid!

Oh I would never post “drabbles” (still can’t stand that term, I don’t know why) on AO3. Not at all worth my time to post all the information they want for 100 words
