Tomorrow you can look for a new flash for Wednesday (continuing yes) and the next chapter of My Devotion, as I finished it today.

Personal Update
In case you wonder, we have filed a claim with the insurance. We have to send in forms, etc. But we might get a little bit of money from them. We shall see. I’ll keep you posted if anyone is interested.
In the meantime, we are moving forward with getting estimates for the garage door to be replaced with a new one. Have an estimate coming tomorrow and Wednesday after work. We’d like to get this done sooner rather than later, so that’s the plan.
Thanks everyone!

Ramblings August 25, 2019
Happy 39th 08/26/2019 As some of you know, our garage was broken into on Friday while we were at work. The garage is separate from our townhome, fortunately, but they did take a few things, including an unopened portable AC, as well as breaking our garage door opener mechanism. We’d been delaying getting one of those new sliding metal garage doors and openers that most of our complex had, with us having the original wooden door, but looks like we are no longer able to delay that. It was a cost thing, but God or the burglar, made that decision for us. So this week we are dealing with getting estimates, HOA approval etc. We had a very nice police officer out Friday night, but he admitted there was little they could really do since there are no cameras and all that. I suspect that someone targeted the AC because nothing else of value was really taken. It was a break in, grab and go kind of thing. But definitely makes you disappointed in your fellow human beings.
In other news, we are still celebrating M’s birthday. We had a get together at a friend’s on Saturday and Sunday night it’s a dinner with the family at a nice restaurant. M’s birthday is actually Tuesday but it’s easier to celebrate on a weekend. Plus when we get home from work Tuesday, one of the garage door people will be by to give us an estimate on everything.
Coming up for updates this week should be The Fling, Stranded 3 and The Mysterious One. I love the flash coming on Friday very much. And I have a new flash series coming on Wednesday too.
This coming weekend in front of us is Labor Day, of course. We are going to the Hollywood Bowl Saturday the 31st for the John Williams Music thing. Should be fun. Then is the three day weekend! And September. Busy times, my friends.
Tomorrow is Chris Pine’s birthday, so I am including a fan video someone made a few years back. Fun!

Flash Fic Friday, August 23, 2019
Hands suddenly covered Spock’s eyes so he could no longer see the book he had been reading.
“Guess who?”
Spock covered the hands with his own, removed them from covering his vision, and turned. “Jim!”
Jim laughed. “Good guess. Well, especially since you were looking right at me.” He thrust Spock’s book aside. Spock suddenly had a lap full of Jim. “Hiya, sweetheart.”
Spock put his arms around Jim. “I thought you were not returning from the conference for two more days.”
“I got bored, so I left early.” Jim glanced around their yard where Spock sat in a Adirondack chair. “You’re not too cold out here?”
“I have my blanket. And I was thinking of returning inside.”
Jim snuggled close to him. “I’ll warm you up.”
Spock accepted the snuggling. “I had intended to make you dinner when you were back in two days for our…”
“Our?” Jim prompted.
“Anniversary,” Spock admitted, blushing.
Jim scrunched up his face. “Our…but we bonded in December. And we got married in January.”
Spock sighed, blushing more. “The anniversary of when I first realized I was in love with you.”
“Oh.” Jim stared at him.
“Ridiculous, I know. Never mind. It was a stupid notion.”
“Oh, honey! No.” Jim put his hands on Spock’s face. “I love that. I love you. I was just…taken aback. Because you are never particularly romantic.” Jim leaned in and kissed him. “And that’s just…wow.”
Spock smiled slightly when Jim pulled away. “I haven’t cooked you dinner yet. It might be terrible.”
“Eh. We can make it together.” Jim got off Spock’s lap and reached down to pull Spock up. “Let’s go inside. I can’t wait to show you just how much I missed you.”

Update Information
Photo by Secret Garden on Pexels.com Hello my friends
My planned updates changed, as you may have already figured out.
I was going to update Stranded 3 and The Fling but changed it to Nine Lives and Transfer Request instead. I may work on those over the weekend but it’s M’s birthday weekend so there’s stuff planned with dinners and get togethers so we shall see. Might have to be next week.
I did get all my Friday Flashes written all the way through October, so that’s fantastic. I am either going to work on my Jim/Prime Christmas story or my OMS story at lunch today. Have not decided.
Went to the gym last night so didn’t get much done then. Thanks for your patience!

Super Flash 4
Please see Super Flash 3 before reading this (and Super Flash 1 and 2)
The last of the super flashes before their story continues beginning October 04, 2019 and continuing every Friday through December 27, 2019.
Hopefully I have you eagerly waiting for more!
Spock got closer again and immediately reached for the hand he had been holding before. “Is this all right?”
“Very.” Jim searched Spock’s eyes. “I thought…I mean when I said I loved you, well, you didn’t say it back.”
“You did not allow me to finish. I merely thought it was not the time for us to declare such deep feelings. I never intended to imply I didn’t feel them.” Spock paused. “Jim, everyone on the ship knows of my affection for you, how could you not?”
Jim opened and closed his mouth. Opened it again. “Uh. I don’t know. When were you going to tell me?”
“When it became relevant. As it just did.”
Jim rolled his eyes. At least they didn’t hurt. “Not funny by the way.”
Spock leaned in to kiss him again. “I apologize,” he murmured, kissing Jim’s lips softly.
“Is this real?” Jim asked, breathlessly.
“Yes, ashayam.”
“Okay, break it up, you space boyfriends.” Bones pushed Spock aside and gave Jim a shot.
Jim winced, but honestly the pain wracking his body was worse than any shot pain. “Thanks. I think.”
Bones smoothed the hair off Jim’s forehead. “You’re lucky to be here. We’re lucky you are.”
“That bad huh?”
Bones glanced Spock’s way and then back to Jim. “Worse. This doesn’t leave this room or the three of us, but let’s just say I was lucky to have a serum or two left from a certain someone.”
Jim frowned. “Khan?”
Bones nodded.
“It was still good?”
“Kept it in deep freeze and yeah. Stuff is practically indestructible. But you aren’t. So cut it out, will ya?”
Jim breathed out, glad it didn’t hurt quite as much as before thanks to Bones’ happy shot. “What’s the bad news then?”
Spock stepped forward. “We were forced to inform Starfleet Command of your injuries, Captain.”
“And?”
“Komack wants you to take a leave,” Bones said.
“What?”
“A leave of at least three months,” Spock explained. “Your choice of locations.”
Jim’s jaw tightened. “This is bullshit. He can’t take my command away from me!”
“He’s not, Jim. He’s not. No one is being named captain in your place.” Bones patted his shoulder. “Jim, I am telling you, your injuries were bad. You’re not even getting out of this bed for another three weeks.” He held up his hand. “No arguments. None. I’ve had it, Jim.”
Jim bit his lip.
Spock reached for and took Jim’s hand in his as Bones stepped back. “Jim. The Enterprise will be out of commission for those three months. It will be a leave for all of us. Considering the missions we have endured lately, it was highly recommended. And the ship can use some repairs, according to Mr. Scott.”
“So they really aren’t replacing me?”
“They are not. They could not. The crew would mutiny and I have no desire to command while you are away. I hope to spend your leave with you.”
Jim closed his eyes and sighed. “Okay.”
“Do you know where you wish to spend that leave?”
“No,” Jim admitted, opening his eyes to look at Spock. “I can’t believe you’re really here. And that you’re saying all these wonderful things.”
“I am grateful you are here. Doctor McCoy did not exaggerate, Jim. If you had died…”
“I didn’t,” Jim said softly.
“Rest now, ashayam. We have time to decide where our leave will be.”
Jim smiled, feeling suddenly rather loopy. “And to start our life together.”
“Indeed.” Spock leaned down to kiss him once more. “Taluhk nash-veh k’dular.”
Jim’s eyes drifted close. “What…does…that…mean?”
Warm lips on his forehead.
“You are cherished.”

Super Flash 3
Hello there
There is still one more part to this. And then…surprise surprise, this is the Kirk and Spock you get to read about for every Friday Flash in October, November and December.
You will love them.
You are welcome.
When Jim first woke up, the sound of medbay machinery irritating to his ears, he thought perhaps he had died after all. For there was a warm hand holding his so tenderly. But then his entire body throbbed with excruciating pain that had him sucking in a sharp breath.
“Not dead then.”
His hand was quickly released and then Spock’s face hovered over his, leaning in. “Jim? Jim, are you awake?”
“Obviously,” Jim muttered. Spock’s face was so close to his they could have kissed. Jim didn’t though. He opened his mouth to speak more when Spock’s mouth covered his. “Mmph.”
Spock pulled back, but not far. “I apologize. I was overcome.”
Despite the pain wracking his body, Jim smiled. “You can become overcome any time.”
“Jim, I…” And then he was kissing Jim again.
A throat cleared.
Spock pulled back again, but this time straightened away from Jim.
“Jim, thank God. Chapel told me Spock was attacking you.”
“I was not attacking the captain.”
Bones waved this away and peered down at Jim. “Damn it, Jim. You scared the bejesus out of us.”
“Sorry. I…”
“Be quiet. I’m giving you a lecture. You almost died on us three times since Spock got you back to the ship. Not cool, Jimmy. Not cool at all. Spock and I, not to mention everyone else, almost had heart attacks. We’re too old for this crap.”
“Hurts.”
Bones’ eyes softened. “I’m not surprised. And there’s some bad news, at least you’ll think so. I think it’s warranted. But let me get you something for the pain. I’ll leave you with the lovesick Vulcan for the moment. Be right back.”

Updates 8/20/2019
Okay so both Our So-Called Life and Orchestral Maneuvers have now been updated.
I think I am supposed to do Stranded 3 or The Fling next, however, right now I have decided to work on Wednesday’s flash and the last flash for October (since…dunh dunh dunh…they are related. Yes, three or four readers (LOL, that’s a joke thus the LOL), the Jim and Spock who are going to appear in the series of flashes in October, November and December are one and the same who appear in the Super Flashes. I guess that’s your answer on Jim’s fate.
The muse, or whatever, must work on what they desire. And after that I may start the OMS challenge story to have it ready for November. We shall see.
No movie tonight as there isn’t anything out I need to see but I am likely heading to the gym. Cue Olivia’s Let’s Get Physical.

Super Flash 2
“Captain. Are you all right? Captain?”
Jim came to with the sound of Spock’s question ringing in his ears. The pain was almost unbearable. He clutched at Spock, who suddenly hovered over him.
“Spock…God, it’s…I can’t.”
“Hang on, Captain. Help is on its way.”
“Don’t…” Jim sucked in a breath. “Not going to…”
“You will. It will not be long.”
“No. Spock…I-I’m sorry. I wish…”
“Jim! Jim! No. Jim. Jim.”
