Yay! I was hoping the OP would like what I did with their prompt.

Soooooo relieved, you have no idea. I usually write angsty h/c, so this is not even close to my comfort zone.

Thanks for letting me know that it worked for you!

This is sooo funny, and in character. You totally get how mccoy could stay with all of these imp[ossibly brave, stupid, smart people. Loved the comment about the admiralty and Scottys reaction

This is heartwarming without being sappy. brillaint

Thank you

[eldritchhorrors]

No, thank you, for the compliments. I'm happy that you enjoyed it, and that it wasn't too sappy.

Sappy makes me twitch a bit.

But just a bit.

Every time I read the part where Jim says "Jew-ish," I just picture him with his hands in the "eh" position, the "eh," look on his face, followed up with a wink.

Am I right?

This is fucking epic and I howled and smiled reading it all over again. Thanks for letting me look!

[eldritchhorrors]

You are so right.

But I've never known you to be wrong, which is a-fucking-mazing.

I love you. You give awesome feedback. I could not have pulled this out of my ass at the eleventh hour without your input.

[sangueuk]

Oh God. Did it come out of your ass, for reals? *washes hands*

[eldritchhorrors]

I shit gold-plated purple twinkies. This fanfic stuff is just a bonus.

[sangueuk]

You fucking rock! This was witty, intelligent, measured and so damned original. You were bound to put an unusual spin on the festivities - and you didn’t disappoint!

There are so many quotable lines:

But Jim was a no-hint-taking motherfucker.

And full marks for the gross food: The air tasted like popcorn and canned smeet. And I will always associate Christmas with spam, thanks?

Thank you, sweetie! space_wrapped wouldn’t have been the same without you!

[eldritchhorrors]

Lol.

I'm a vegetarian, but the spam is something a friend of mine does for Festivus- including the spam carving competition.

Heh. The motherfucker line. Of course my holiday story would have that kind of language.

You are a great beta, and I can't thank you enough for swooping in at the last minute to save my ass. I also want to thank you for starting such an awesome advent and letting me participate.

[eldritchhorrors]

Thank you. I'm glad you liked it!
