Star Trek Reboot Drabble Challenge, Mark II

[yahtzee63]

For some reason, it was only yesterday that I realized Memorial Day weekend was upon us. I am sooooo looking forward to a three-day weekend with only one social event to attend. There will be much writing of fanfic and sitting around in sweats. Lolling and indolence! The three weeks after that are going to be INSANE, so I think the indolence is

Kirk and Chekov, Woe.

Warning: This is thoroughly un-betaed. XD

#95 -- Spock Prime and Spock, fal-tor-pan

[yahtzee63]

New Vulcan is even hotter than its namesake.

"I find it at the edge of my endurance," says the Elder, as Spock has begun to think of this other version of himself. They have not spoken since that day on Earth two months ago, but on the Enterprise's first visit to this colony world, they found one another almost instantly, without much conscious effort on either part. Together they walk through the orange-shaded sands on the edge of the city. "This is a world hot enough that humans will rarely visit, and a human-Vulcan hybrid can never feel at home

That was very well done! I think it was a good vignette for SP to share, as well.

The more McCoy fics I read the more I love him, and this is absolutely no exception. Short and (bitter)sweet.

31. Chekov, there are no stupid questions

"It's all right, really--"

"--no, I will do better. I can do better."

Uhura had laughed and Chekov had to consciously remind himself that it was not directed at him. He is proud, a little, that he didn't remind himself out loud, and only had to blush, hard, at his feet clumsily overlapping hers.

"You are lucky that you have boots," He sighs and sags against her, right hand clammy where she held it aloft.

"Oh, stop. You honestly think the waltz has survived this many centuries without a little creative license

[yahtzee63]

Oh, I LOVE this -- from Chekov's very sweet crush to Uhura's intelligent way of helping him out.

#34 -- Gaila, survival

[yahtzee63]

"I've got three malfunctioning - that's ten - systems are going down all over the ship!" Gaila felt bizarrely calm, given that steam was venting from tubes throughout engineering and the klaxon alarms continued to screech. Had they come out of warp five minutes ago? Three minutes? It seemed like she'd spent half her lifetime here on the Potemkin, watching the ship be torn apart.

The chief engineer didn't answer her; she was busily attempting to do something with the warp core instrumentation panel, and the high-pitched whining filling engineering made Gaila hope they were about to eject the core.

Then the captain's voice echoed from every speaker: "All hands, abandon ship! All hands, abandon ship!"

Gaila felt a sudden, irrational urge to remain - a perverse steadiness that whispered to her, It's all right, she can't mean you, you must be just fine. But training broke through, and she ran like hell for the nearest evacuation pod

Oooh, I love this. Especially the way this disaster mirrors the Kelvin -- with an even more tragic outcome.

Re: #34 -- Gaila, survival

[yahtzee63]

Thank you!

Re: #34 -- Gaila, survival

[promethia_tenk]

Oh, God. That's so sad. And somehow the fact that it's the seemingly carefree and lively Gaila makes it all worse.
