A Random Poem And A Theory

[murf1307]

My girl says she’d rather marry no one but me,
not if Jupiter himself were to ask her.
She says: but what a girl says to her eager lover,
should be written on the wind and in running water.

So profound!  I love the metaphor in this one.  I'm tempted to make it an epigraph to a fanfic.

And as for the theory.  I have this ridiculous personal

I really want to rip my DVDs of the Trek films and take the audio for Gaga's video and combine them to show how fitting it is, for srs.

I also have this plot bunny that won't go away, as a Trek Reboot song fic for this song. It mainly focuses around Uhura. It goes like this:

Uhura sees Spock and Kirk coming closer together as she and Spock drift apart. She truly does love Spock so it hurts to let him go, but she does. Then, before Spock and Kirk can admit their feelings to each other, Spock dies saving Kirk's life on an alien planet. Kirk is beyond horrified at all of this, while Uhura never got to say goodbye to the man that she, despite everything, still loved with every fiber of her being. The Enterprise crew is given a two-month shore leave to give Scotty and co. a chance to repair the damage done to the Enterprise during the space portion of the battle that killed Spock. Uhura goes to New Vulcan, while Kirk can't bear to face Spock's father. Kirk is beyond broken by the events, and he, after morbidly setting his affairs in order, goes off and gets himself killed - sort of like the Suicide by Cop trope. Uhura is made Captain, but she can't stand to sit in the chair, because that's Kirk's chair, and the Engineering folks rewired everything so that the science instruments and scanners don't need to be read from the actual science console, as a sort of memorial for Spock. And so, the crew remembers the command team they lost. McCoy is also taking the losses extremely hard, and it winds up that he and Uhura take a twisted sense of comfort in a rough, purely sexual affair.

So, yeah, tragedy and angst. I has them.

Ooh, tragedy and angst! It sounds good. I say go for it!

The thing is, I've already done my year's quota of horrible tragedy, with "The Miserable One." And I hate reading tragedy, which makes it kinda hard to write.
