Spirk (with a small dose of Pinto)

  • Weekly Ramblings, September 12, 2018

    We are having some really great weather right now (sorry for those in the path of Florence) but for us, it’s 80s during the day and low 60s at night, great for sleeping with windows open. Sometimes September heat can be a nightmare so this is very welcome. And it looks to stay this way for the foreseeable future. It also helps us with our electric bill as we haven’t been needing to run the AC. It’s also perfect hot tea drinking weather after the sun goes down.

    Last night just the two of us went to see Peppermint. If you’ve ever seen Death Wish from the 1970s with Charles Bronson, then you know what you have, but with Jennifer Garner in the Charles Bronson role. It had your typical caricature villains doing stupid stuff for no apparent reason, like killing her family, is a huge example. Anyway, despite the less than stellar movie, it was a nice get out for us.

    Later a certain someone’s mood soured (not me) when one of our kitchen drawers broke (those little plastic pieces in the back that keeps the drawer in place. You would have thought it was the end of the world as we know it. Needless to say it’s a trip to the hardware store for us tonight after work.

    I feel great about finishing Anything and, though admittedly, I would have liked a greater enthusiastic response to its conclusion I acknowledge a lot can happen in the near 2 years it’s been going.

    I’m back to working on the Christmas story at the moment and I reread what I had written so far and very much liked it. It’s what I feel like working on right now with all the personal angst swirling around my head.

    I got some new fall decorations that arrived yesterday and they look smashing. Including some fall flavored Salt Water Taffy. I can only indulge in a piece now and then but they make me happy so there! LOL.

    As you may or may not remember, last holiday season I was sick as a damn dog (I hope to avoid that this year) and we also went out for Thanksgiving to a restaurant (side note: It was 100 degrees on Thanksgiving last year, UGH). We were all disappointed in our meal (I was super sick then too). Anyway, we are back to hosting it at our place this year and knowing that I bought M an apron with an applique turkey on it that says Happy Turkey Day. HA HA. Couldn’t resist.

    At the moment I am on a self-imposed tumblr avoidance. I’ve made it so far three days. Go me!

    And that’s it for my rambling at the moment

     

  • Anything Finished

    Just now I finished Anything.

    After nearly two years, even I think it’s about time!

  • Yeah Another Idea

    So I was watching some videos and I came across a song that is inspirational to me for Spirk. This one would be for Spock, as in Jim would be the one saying all this about Spock.

    Below are they lyrics and I would call it Beneath Your Beautiful. Will I write it? We shall see!

     

    You tell all the boys no
    Makes you feel good yeah
    I know you’re out of my league
    But that won’t scare me away oh no
    You’ve carried on so long
    You couldn’t stop if you tried it
    You’ve built your wall so high
    That no one could climb it
    But I’m gonna try

    Would you let me see beneath your beautiful
    Would you let me see beneath your perfect

  • About Me and Writing Going Forward

    It’s me again.

    At it again.

    Yes, last night I thought of a new idea for an angsty Spirk story. I ran the idea by Kris, who was definitely on board with me writing it, but I can’t write it right now. I have too much going on that will prevent it, at least for a little while.

    This will be totally off the timeline you see in the movies. It will be more similar to TOS but with the AOS cast, basically, and some elements of the AOS stuff. The entire prologue will take place before they are all on the Enterprise. I anticipate the prologue being kind of longish as I will have a lot to cover in it, but we will see when it sees the light of day.

    The thing is we are coming up on the busiest time of year for me for personal time requests from family and friends. This is going to make my writing updates even more erratic.

    For example, I have something personal I simply must attend to for September, which puts everything else on hold until it’s done. It’s just the way it has to be. I hope it won’t take me the rest of the month, but it might, consider I am doing the Queen Mary thing at the end of September as well.

    Plus I also have the Professor Spock Halloween story to finish. I have started it and got a decent start, I think. It’s probably going to end up a one-shot rather than a multi-chapter fic, but we will see. There’s also the OMS challenge story (TOS) that I have to have ready in November. It won’t be a long story and I have started it at least but it takes a bit for me to find the TOS voice. And of course there is still my Christmas story! I have quite a bit done on that one and the boys are getting very close to a very nice Christmas indeed HA HA.

    I’d also like to finish Anything in the not too distant future.

    So you see there’s a lot I need to do before starting anything else plus all my regular updates. It felt good to finish What Happened to Spock, although now that it is finished, I can think of things I should have done, addressed, etc. Oh well.

    But for now, I am working on me. My personal thing. Once I get through that, I can turn back to writing Spirk/Kock (ha ha).

    For now I leave you with a picture

  • Finished

    What Happened to Spock is finished if anyone cares!

  • Ramblings, September 4, 2018

    Began part 2 of My Devotion today. Look for it on AO3.

    I was home today so I started a little bit of pre-autumn decorating.

    Those are battery operated leaf lights in case you can’t tell. I also went through my closet and got rid of some stuff and then took it to the Goodwill.

    Alas it’s back to work tomorrow and supposed to be 100 this weekend. Sigh.

    At the end of this month, our Maine cousin who comes almost every year to visit is coming and we decided to do something special this year. We are going to stay over one night at the Queen Mary in Long Beach. This is a very famous place. And they have great restaurants and bars. They start their Halloween thing the same night we are going but we aren’t going to that.

    Here’s an example of a room there.

    It’s a fun place with lots of atmosphere and we think she will just love it. Likely we will go to Sir Winston’s Restaurant when we go which is very fancy.

    Something for sure to look forward to.

    I think next up is What Happened to Spock. So we shall see!

  • The Love of a Lifetime,September 03,2018

    Spock put his hand on his sleeping husband’s face, waiting for the fog to lift and Jim to come to awareness once more. He could feel Jim’s mind springing back, the confusion fading away as Spock reminded him of who he was, where he was, and their life.

    Eyelids lifted to expose the beloved blue. When Jim was gone, Spock would be gone too. There was no other outcome for either of them.

    “Hello Spock,” Jim said softly. “Have I been asleep long?”

    “No, T’hy’la. Just a couple of ours. I have had tea with our son and his mate.”

    “He looks happy, yeah? I mean as happy as Vulcans can look.”

    Spock smiled slightly. “Agreed. Would you like to get up now and have something to eat with us?”

    “All right.” Jim’s tongue darted out as he sat up. “Spock, what’s really going on? What is Suvoc here for?”

    Spock hesitated only a moment before taking Jim’s hand in his. “He wishes to convince us to go to New Vulcan with him to experiment with a treatment he hopes will help with your dementia.”

    “Oh.” Jim nodded. “I-I suspected it was something like that. But—”

    “I ask that you consider it and what he has to say, adun. If not for our sake, but for his. He has already lost his birth parents as well as his relationships with Ambassador Spock and Leonard. It has all taken its toll on his, Jim. He tries not to show it but I assure you it does.”

    Jim raised his other hand to Spock’s cheek. “You would know, wouldn’t you? All right, sweetheart, I’ll listen and keep an open mind.”

    Spock moved his face to kiss Jim’s palm. “You are everything. Come. Do you wish a shower first?”

    He helped Jim up from the bed.

    “Yeah, maybe. Still feel a little groggy and kind of sweaty.”

    “Here, I will help you.” And he led his husband into the shower, thinking of their many intimacies there in their distant past.

  • Wouldn’t It Though

    I really wish I knew how to make Spirk videos because this song would be perfect for a piney (ha) Kirk thinking about Spock and she who will not be named.

  • Ramblings to Send August Away

    You may have noticed my lack of updates on my OMS story here better known as The Love of a Lifetime. I plan to get back to it soon but there is no denying my current mood is unmotivated.

    Got off work early today at 1:00. Our department is very cool about this. We only have to work a six hour day before  major holidays but sill get paid for 8. A small and appreciated perk.

    The other day at the grocery store they had a display of my favorite cereal already!

    I didn’t get any though. I can’t eat the same things I usually eat these days but I may give in at some point. We will see.

    I think next up to update is Nine Lives. Look for major developments in that one. After that update, I am not sure what I’m going to do.

    I have an extra long weekend though I think I have plans on both Saturday and Sunday.

    I’m glad to see September and will be even more so when Autumn officially starts later in the month. I love autumn. Decorations, foods, tea, holidays (Halloween and TG). I should have been born in Fall but I was not.

    I’ve made no particular decisions about my internet presence.
