Ramblings June 04 2020

Hello friends

I am soooooo behind on flashes right now, so please forgive me I cannot update or write anything else until I finish June flashes. I literally only have this Friday’s done and then…yeah

So for the next little while that’s what I am doing. That’s like 10 flashes. Please forgive me while I panic.

Look at this pretty pic. That’s my Jim from Bitter Frost.

Okay calmer now.

So I will get it done. And then when it’s done, I’ll get something else done. So we are allowed to do promo now for the T’hy’la Bang. I created a post for Tumblr per their guidelines, but I thought I’d also post something here.

Here is an itty bitty excerpt for “The Closer I Get to You” (think Roberta Flack)

Oh…wait…summary

After Kirk and Spock from the Kelvin Universe get together, they are engaged in a mission that requires them to time travel to save the life of a Starfleet Commodore. But their traveling doesn’t quite go as planned and they end up traveling not just to another time, but another universe, where they meet their TOS counterparts. Jim assumes their counterparts are a couple, just like he and Spock are, but he is surprised to learn from TOS Kirk and Spock that they are not. Before he and Spock head back to their own universe/timeline, he sets out to change the relationship of their counterparts, or as Spock would say, violate the Prime Directive.    

Now Excerpt:

The minute his feet hit the ground, Jim dropped to a crouch, and rolled away from his attacker, narrowly missing being kicked in the head. He stood up, panting, quickly looking for his first officer.

“Spock?”

“Here, Captain,” Spock called out, just as he took a punch to his stomach. Anyone else would likely have lost their breath from such a punch, but Spock merely grunted, picked up the perpetrator, and tossed them away.

“Uh, this doesn’t seem like the right time.” Jim ducked as a chair was thrown at his head. “Hey!”

“You are correct, Captain. This is clearly the mission on Tevis 3.”

“Tevis 3,” Jim repeated. “Ah, crap. I remember that. I got my nose broken.”

“It took Doctor McCoy considerable work to restore—”

“My good looks. Yeah, I know. Damn. Spock, look out.”

“And back!”

Jim blinked, swayed, hand going to his head as he felt the strange disorientation of the time travel. Okay and maybe that fist to the head had something to do with it too. But yeah, at least his boots were firmly planted on the transporter pad. And there was no hot blood pouring from his nose. That counted as a win. 

“Fuck.”

“Captain.”

“Geez, Scotty, what the hell was that?”

“Er, a wee miscalculation, Captain,” Scotty said, sheepishly.

Spock, who stood next to him, bristled.

In the room besides the two of them and Scotty were Bones and Uhura and Sulu.

Bones frowned. “What time were you in?”

“That mission on Tevis 3 a year and a half ago.”

“Damn it, Jim, do you know how long it took to make you pretty again?”

“I may barf,” Sulu said.

Uhura rolled her eyes. “I may join you. Monty, that’s too far back.”

“I know it, lassie. Let me try again.”

“Bones, it wasn’t like I had a choice where we were. And my nose is fine, by the way.”   

“Wait,” Bones said. “All this shooting back and forth to another time, is this harming them?”

“I don’t think so,” Jim said.

“Well, maybe I should be the judge of that.”

Coming June 22, 2010

Flash Fic, May 25, 2020

The first person familiar to him in the crowd that gathered was Nyota. She was gesturing to him, her face somber, her attire that of their dress uniform, hat firmly in place.

Spock stepped up to her and allowed her to lean forward and kiss his cheek. She pulled back and looked into his eyes. “How are you holding up?”

“I…well enough under the circumstances.”

She nodded, sympathetically, and then drew him forward. “The others are seated already.”

He followed her to where Lieutenant Sulu, Ensign Jayleh, and Lieutenant Commander Scott were seated. There was a spot left for Spock. A few aisles away he spotted Carol Marcus. He looked away quickly and took the offered seat.

Admiral Morrow walked up to the podium. “Thank you for coming on this day to remember those from Starfleet we have lost, not only in the last year, but in all our years.”

Then to Spock’s amazement, Morrow turned to the side.

“We welcome, Captain James T. Kirk, who has only just gotten out of the hospital this very day to attend this ceremony honoring those who have fallen.”

Doctor McCoy wheeled Jim out in a chair toward the podium. Jim wore a dress uniform but looked shockingly pale. Spock was half out of his seat before Nyota gently pushed him down.

“Did you know he was going to do this?” she asked.

“No.”

“I don’t think the captain should be out of the hospital,” Sulu spoke up.

“He should not,” Spock said curtly.

Jim stopped at the podium and then was helped to stand by the doctor. Spock’s jaw tightened as Jim swayed.

“Today, we are gathered to remember our fallen brethren, including a member of my own bridge officers, Ensign Pavel Chekov.”

***

“Captain!” Nyota rushed at him after the ceremony. “You shouldn’t be out of the hospital.”

“Tell me something I don’t know,” McCoy grumbled. “Damn fool insisted. And he’s going right back.”

Spock dropped to his knees beside Jim. “T’hy’la. Why? We talked about this and decided you would stay in bed.”

“You decided,” Jim said softly. “For Pavel. I had to.”

Spock inhaled, counted to ten, and then nodded. “Very well. But you will not leave again until you are well. Promise.”

“I promise.”

Spock stood and took control of the wheelchair from McCoy, ignoring the doctor’s rolled eyes, as they all followed behind as Spock brought their captain back to the hospial.

For those lost…we remember

May 2020 Walk With Me

In the fall/winter, these trees were bare, but now they are full and leafy!
Nature has more amazing colors than any man can come up with.
Even the ornamental plum tree has its leaves
Little yellow flowers. Or Orange? Or a combo?
More formerly bare trees
Magenta Beauties
Nature knows nothing about what’s going on with destructive humans!

Burn Out (Temporary)

Other than the Pinto story I posted today I am not posting any updates on AO3 today. Little burned out with posting and probably you’re all a little burned out too.

I will be back to it tomorrow, never fear.

Happy Easter 2020

A little early but…

Briefly…

I am behind things, I apologize. I had a bad day today, melt-downs, too much work, an ice cream stop, don’t ask. But at least I am home now for the next three days. I hope to finish Just When I Needed You Most this weekend.

I did manage to get 6,000 done for the Bang but only just…so I don’t know. We shall see.

I did schedule another flash so not all was wasted.

Some pictures of my little front yard with bunny stuff to brighten the day

Blog Change

For the next few months, at least, there will be a bit of a change to the blog. Don’t worry, flashes are not going away.

The change is very simply, that there will be flashes Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays going forward until such time I change my mind. In the meantime there might be less ramblings or other stuff on here as my energies are focused on staying well and keeping everyone entertained.

Thank you and be well.

So…

A lot has happened this afternoon and it’s a little crazy.

Might delete the fic I just posted. We will see. I’m feeling weird. Not sick.

I didn’t mention it except today, but my niece was pregnant with her second baby. Last time the baby was born several weeks premature. Paige is fine now and two years old. Her mother had preeclampsia.

Her second baby was due in April, but she had the preeclampsia again. So when her blood pressure shot too high they took her in today.

Everything’s been crazy and I didn’t think to mention any of it until we found out she went in today. I thought it was kinda cool she would come on Kris’s birthday.

Anyway, she was born today as Audrey.

I had to get on WW by virtual meeting tonight and it was…interesting. But stressful. Because at the same time Los Angeles (where I work, not live) decided to take that moment to announce stricter guidelines that businesses must cease operations at least until April 19th. I now don’t know what that means for my job. I haven’t got my laptop yet, it’s just been ordered. So, it’s all a mess. Health Care operators are listed as exempted, but not sure if insurance applies.

Now I am stressed to the max, so…yeah.

Not going to allow comments here because I really don’t know what there is to say. Just..life is strange right now.

Take care of yourself and yours.

Be safe…

Rambles, March 17, 2020

Well…Happy Saint Patrick’s Day, I guess

I’ve got nothing else, really. I am working at work for now. Most of the building is working from home. Not me. And that’s fine.

The news and the situations are constantly changing. So…I guess all I can say is stay safe.

There are three flashes in a row this week as there’s one on Thursday for Kris’ birthday.

I am working on another song one-shot but have barely started. I’m going to continue to work on my bang story too but it may be canceled or I may withdraw and just post it on my own. We will see.

Anyway, this too shall pass. I hope.

Stay say and well, my friends. I promise to keep posting Spirk and other stuff as time allows.
