Chekov/Sulu Advent Roundup

[fairhearing]

Now that it's the Epiphany, I can post these fics, which were all for the Sulu/Chekov "Twelve Days of Christmas" countdown! My assigned days were 12 (Lords a-Leaping), 7 (Swans a-Swimming) and 3 (French hens).

Typically, they're all R-rated and above. In ummmm the holiday spirit, or something.

Characters/Pairing: Sulu/Chekov
Rating: Strong R

Aw, twelve months of adorable! Pavel clutching the plant just about slayed me-- awww!! And Hikaru falling into the tree-- LOL!

I love this race you created! And their genuine sincerity. And Uhura nibbling her toes. And omg, the wife "yeah, I don't think you should ask about that tomorrow" I about died of laughing!

Oh, my heart! This is so lovely. Pavel begging his aunt and uncle not to do the three bird bonanza for poor, oblivious Hikaru's sake. The cold feel to the manor and Hikaru making Pavel feel warm, even back in that place. I'm a sucker for holiday sap and this definitely fits. :) Delightful.

Ahh thank you for these lovely individual comments! ^__^ "Holiday sap" was definitely the theme I was going for above all else (besides the requisite sci-fi crack humor). Thanks so much for reading!

DAMMIT.

or,

OMG.

Seven Swans a-Swimming? I was just talking today to my roommate about writing a story about an alien view of humans having sex. And lo and behold.

I really rather love the Cygnets in all their glorious worldbuildiness. And, well, even seen through alien eyes, Hikaru and Pavel cannot fail to be adorably hot.

....meanwhile....

Twelve Lords a Leaping is an adorable snapshot view of the evolution of their romance. Three French Hens has me wiping bittersweet tears from my eyes. And all of these together are a wonderful assortment of riches.

WELL rubynye, you know what they say: there can never be too many stories about an alien view of humans having sex. Seriously, please write your version, I'm really excited to see it now! Because God knows there are all kinds of acts that would have aliens totally dumbfounded that you also happen to write ESPECIALLY well. ;)

These were all so lovely! I especially enjoyed seeing the crew from the Cygnet's point of view--it's such a neat little world you made, in such a short piece. Thank you for sharing them!

Thank you so much! I always like trying to approach prompts from a different direction than I might think of at first, and that definitely happened with the Seven Swans one. ;D

Thanks again!

OK, the flat-out nerdiest detail that I liked? Is that the name "R'Lankkk" even sounds like a bird squawk! That was such a great and vivid planet.

I really love the different moods you captured in each of these pieces. The first one was so sweet and realistic, the second one managed to be trippy, funny and really sexy, and the third one was just awwwwwwwwww. What a great treat these were, I loved them :)

omggg someone noticed!! That's one of those times where I wish I lived alone, because honking softly to oneself while typing in order to get the transcription right is a little hard to explain, a heh heh.

Thanks so much for reading, and for this comment! ♥ ♥

Heh heh. I owned a bird (cockatiel) for a long time. IT'S A SOUND I KNOW WELL. XD

Thank you so much -- I really indulged myself in the last one in all senses of the word, going for the pretty shameless treacly stuff. But I'm glad other people seem to like the same indulgences. ;D
