Wishing all my United States readers a Happy Independence Day (4th of July)
Tomorrow is the premiere of Christmas in July.
I’d like to make the announcement now that unless I state clearly in the post that more is to come, all of what I post for Christmas in July are one shot flashes and will not be continued. And in all honesty I am almost 100% positive they will all remain one shot flashes only. I always appreciate the clamor for more, but right now I’m just choosing not to go there. Thank you!
Cute cookie picture below, right? Several years ago I attempted to make decorated Christmas cookies. It did not go well, LOL
I am on temporary AO3 updating hiatus while I work on those Christmas in July flashes for here on the blog. I’d like to get them written and scheduled so I don’t have to be frantically scrambling to get something written.
So don’t expect any updates in AO3 until July.
Kitchen is done, washer and dryer is fixed and today we got our new refrigerator. Yep. Because that had to die too. It’s like we had to have everything new in the new kitchen. But whatever our brand new Whirlpool fridge arrived today, thank you very much.
I’m off gallivanting for the next two weekends, but hope to get Christmas in July posts started in…you guessed it…July. Not every day in July but hopefully several
To get you in the mood…
After being away for several days, I have a bit of catching up to do.
My plan this week is to get the next chapter of The Wrong Captain done and posted.
And at some point this week I will have more flashes up here.
A bit silly…
Spock reached down and pulled the soaking wet Starfleet Cadet from the icy water of the San Francisco bay.
“T-thanks.” The cadet shook his hair like a canine and water splattered everywhere. “S-sorry.”
“Were you trying to end your life?” Spock demanded.
“What? N-no. G-God I’m f-freezing.”
Spock grabbed the man’s hands. “Your hands are like ice. Come with me.”
“I d-don’t r-really w-want to g-go to the h-hospital.”
“I am not taking you there. Come.”
Fortunately, Spock’s apartment was not far and he herded the soggy man directly there.
After retrieving a plus robe, he handed it to the cadet and told him to change into it in the bathroom.
“Uh. C-Cadet K-Kirk.”
“I know who you are. Do as I say.”
Several moments later, Kirk came out, dressed in Spock’s robe and holding his wet uniform. Somehow in the roble and with his fair colored hair wet and plastered to his head, he looked very young and vulnerable.
“”There is a clothes dryer there, throw you uniform in there, and then come out. I have made you hot tea and heated some soup.”
Kirk came out biting his lip a moment later. “Why are you being so nice to me, Professor?”
Spock was not surprised Kirk knew him.
“You were in distress. Why were you in that water?”
“Well. It’s leap day.”
“So?”
Kirk shrugged and smiled sheepishly. “My friend Bones suggested I take a leap, you know of faith or whatever, given the day, so I did.”
“Into the bay.”
“Well, yeah.” Kirk laughed. “Not my finest moment, true, but something did come of it. So my leap of faith worked.”
Spock shook his head and handed him the mug of hot tea. “In the future if you wish for a date, simply ask. It will be safer and more successful for you.”
Kirk laughed. “Yeah, you’re right. I’m still freezing.”
“Let’s warm you up.”
Hi guys
I didn’t get a chance to get up a flash today as I went away for a quick weekend. I’m back now and hoping to have a flash up tomorrow. You might get them Tuesday and Thursday this week just because.
March is fast approaching so I’m going to ask anyone who wants to comment which of the following themes you’d like to see for that month:
Starfleet Academy
Older More Mature (as in after the missions are over)
During Regular Service on the Enterprise
More specific themes in any one of those choices will be Hurt/Comfort, Getting Together and Jealousy.
So I just want opinions on the time period for the guys you want to see for March
Appreciate it
Should you need a little Spirk reading material (Evening did mention recommendations) while I work on updating AO3 and my break here continues, I am going to list some of my own favorites of my work and a couple of other non-me
No guarantee for lack of angst.

You have to be signed in for this one, but this is one where she makes Winona a pretty good mother
Not really sure what it is about this one I like so much, but I do
This time I really mean it. Not going to do any flashes for January 2024
I need a break. If inspiration hits I’ll save them for next month, while I contemplate what writing Spirk means to me for this year.
If I get any information on my kitchen I will let you know. Otherwise my goal is to update stuff on AO3.
thank you!
