Chekov should sparkle in the sunlight and wear glittery golden body-paint at all times.

OMG Pike is back as captain! Spock is the boss of Kirk - mwahahaha! Ha! Kirk still gets to sit in the chair! This is the best version of the universe ever!
And Starfleet making Kirk captain of the Enterprise until Pike got his legs back actually makes more sense than any other idea I've come across so far. It should totally have happened like that. For that matter, who's to say it didn't?
Kirk with captain instincts is awesome and adorable. Gaila with daddy instincts makes me want to viley seduct you into writing backstory - and yet not, because as it is it boggles the imagination and imaginations like being boggled.
Kirk is brilliant and lithe and always wears no-skid boots.
OMGOMGOMG! No-skid boots. OMG! Yes.
Sparkly Chekov is sparkly! And contagious! And extremely bad at giving concise, non-misleading explanations :P
That's Uhura's voice, and when Kirk looks up it's Uhura's body, too, tilted at an odd angle like maybe she does not have no-skid boots and is now paying the price. She'll sure have some sore thigh muscles tomorrow, unless she is somehow more lithe than Kirk. He will allow that possibility. He really needs more evidence of her litheness to be sure, though. Naked evidence would be best.
More no-skid boots, this time the lack of them. Much amused! *grins*
Masterpiece of in-character Kirkness! And I bet she is more lithe than Kirk, but evidence is always good.
Kirk blinks at her for a moment and thinks that some of this Alien Sparkle disease, like just a smidgen maybe, would be really attractive dabbed on her lower lip.
Yessssssssssssssss. It really would.
Where was I? Oh yes. Gold sparkly alien jizz. Yay!
"It did not even rhyme, and the meter was forced."
Love Chekov's sense of priorities here.
"Ensign Chekov was attacked," says Kirk, and turns Chekov to face him. "Sir, do I have permission to seek out those beings responsible and bring them in for questioning? punch them in the face?"
Translated.
...but not from lack of no-skid footwear. Kirk made sure Bones got a good pair of no-skid boots right off, because Kirk takes care of his friends like that.
Moar no-skid boots! Friendship! Yay!
"It's just body paint," Uhura says disgustedly. She swivels and walks away with a tart flip of her ponytail. Kirk gives one last wistful look before she disappears, imagining leaving four gold fingertip trails down the back of each knee.
Hair with character. *grins* And why O why didn't I ask for Uhura with gold sparkles instead? I'm just lucky you (practically) gave it to me anyway. This is brilliant.
Pike holds his stern gaze just long enough to make sure that Chekov's lower lip is quivering, then stalks off much like Uhura did (but without the ponytail flip.)
Pike is totally enjoying being evil - he just hides it well. And he has Kirk to comfort any of the crew he should happen to traumatise too deeply, so it all works out.
...he lifts a hand and swiftly, sneakily, puts shiny dot right on the end of Bones' nose.
It makes Chekov smile, at least.
You missed an "a". And yay for smiling Chekov! And yay for Bones with gold body-paint on his nose!
And Kirk will somehow manage to be allergic to the body-paint, because he's good at that :P
Also, I HAS A TAG! WHEEEEEEEEEE!

:DDDDD I came up with it shortly after seeing the movie. It's canon in my head now. i shall spread this across the fandom like a veneral disease.

It's compatible with the ending of the movie! Clearly, that happy little scene takes place after the Enterprise has been repaired but when Pike is still going through physical therapy, etc. so Starfleet sends Kirk and the rest of the crew (who've all gotten commendations) on a grocery run to the Delta system or whatever. Then Pike gets better! And calls Kirk home! And is all like, "Gimme my ship back, punk!" and Kirk is all like, "Aw, man! Can I at least still take it out on Fridays nights to pick up girls?" And Pike totally says yes.

Oh good, I'm glad that came across. As I was saying to Muppet, I was planning to make some revisions because Pike would totally be amused and Kirk should be able to pick up on that.

Good catch! Thank you. Sadly, the 'a' button on my laptop has gone the way of the shift button. And the spacebar. They only work when they feel like it. :(((((
And yeaaaah, I couldn't let the fic end without doing *something* to cheer up poor ickle Chekov. Or without messing with Bones. :P

The time had come. :P
The only problem with your tag is deciding whether or not to go back and tag all the posts you committed indiscretions in.

Spock thinks that this is not logical, but recognises the futility of saying so.
I just rewatched the part where Pike leaves Spock in command and makes Kirk first officer (because, crisis or no crisis, you just can't do that sort of thing without a working sense of humour), and he also says, and I quote: "Careful with the ship, Spock, she's brand new." Which proves that lending it to Kirk on Friday nights to pick up girls is entirely in keeping with his personality.
And Kirk should be able to pick up on it, you are right.

In my completely unbiased opinion? Absolutely!

Also, I now want a TV show called "Leave it to Jimmy." I'll leave you to imagine the details.

There are times when I suspect that you are not entirely honest with me. ^^
P.S. I edited this entry with the revisions. Have a look-see?

P.S Had look-see. Revisions FTW!

OMG. Chekov fails even harder at communication, this time around :D
Pike crosses his arms and gives Chekov his best We Are Not Amused look which is just bullshit, in Kirk's opinion, because first of all, the situation is pretty freaking amusing and second of all, Captain Pike is amused. This is the kind of thing Pike gets out of bed for. Kirk is even starting to suspect that Pike engineered this whole gold goo thing, since he has a habit of doing things like that. For evidence, refer to Kirk's entire second year at the Academy, even though Bones still won't believe it.
Not only is he amused, he made it happen - ha! That works so much better, characterisationwise. Or maybe I just love it when people are evil. Or both.
Not everyone can pick up on silent memos like that but Kirk and Pike were brothers in captaincy. They have a connection.
Those might technically be the right tenses, but it feels awkward, nevertheless.
I love their connection. I'm convinced that they have had it practically since Pike recruited Kirk (see again, Kirk's second year at the academy and knowing it was all Pike's fault contrivance), even if Kirk didn't factor that into his internal narrative.
However, the connection must be having router problems because....
Router problems? Oh, Kaylie, thou art too cruel.
Pike's interpretation of 'have words' is better described as 'allow you to weep silently as I state my utter disappointment in your very existence.' Not that Kirk knows this from experience, or anything, because he doesn't. Really.
Nope. Not at all. *grins*
Bones watches him go then turns back to Kirk and Chekov, sighing. Bones' sighs are always somehow sympathetic as well as disapproving, and Kirk really appreciates that.
*squishes Bones* Yay!
