Title: Swashing Buckles, Righting Wrongs: From the Fabulous Adventures of Captain James Significant Pause Cook, 7/?
Author: possibly_thrice
Rating: R.
Pairing: Pike/Kirk.
Summary: Prompted by st_xi_kink : Kirk never meets Pike or Uhura, and runs off with a broken-heart-crazed McCoy to be a pirate. For a moment, it seems as if there will be an actual plot. Then I reveal that I

I don't think it's exactly a shocker that I'm the first one here. (In a related note, I did not see any insanity, either because there is none to speak of or because I'm a little myself.)

Anyways. In short: Yessss.

In long (and trying not to be ridiculous this time!): Yesssssss. I. This. You. Yay! I have missed your lyrical, whimiscal style of writing, I really have. Nobody else does it quite like you. It continues to remain so beautiful and cheeky and endlessly, endlessly entertaining all at once. It makes me happy. And further draws me in, and such; good writing, as always, makes this thing so much more amazing than I ever could have hoped for and keeps me ridiculously sucked in.

Not including the fact of stuff really, really starting to go down now. Which has me being very happy and all the more sucked in, which would seem to be possible. Like, absolute flailing over what's going to happen next, especially with this leadoff because this is a wonderful cliffhanger and I can't even I want to see more

I NEVER MIND EVER. EVER AND YOU ARE NOT RIDICULOUS BUT RIDICULOUSLY GLEE-INDUCING. Or if so only in the best of possible ways, omnomnomnomnom.

God, your comments. I am a melted puddle of... something, probably inedible, but it oozes prettily! Mmf.

Also HAPPY INCREDIBLY BELATED SLIGHTLY UNWANTED BIRTHDAY, so very sorry because seriously I was VERY CLEAR about wanting to have it done by then, what the hell, self, even clearer than usual! but nooooo it had to wait until a week later when I struck on the idea that I could rewrite Bones and Jim snarking at each otherrrrr.

IN SHORT (which I am a master of. Sometimes. In the ridiculous way): <33333.

[periariyx]

OH, YOU. The sentiment is oh so sweet, though. :DD So thank youuu! And like I rambled up above earlier, somewhere, it still turned out awesome, so... yes! Thank youuuuu again.

And I am always happy to bring in the puddle of goo-inducing, so, you know, you're welcome in that area. <333

[possibly_thrice]

Moral of the story: I am kind of a complete failure but my intentions are good! XD

[blcwriter]

If it seems too good to be true, too beautiful to look at straight on, Jim? Well, you poor, miserable bastard.

I love this Jim's reflections, your cranky Bones never ceases to please, and I am sooooo looking forward to the Spock/Jim confrontation. I'm so glad you updated this.

[possibly_thrice]

Jim was doomed like a falling anvil when he saw the Enterprise, yesss, precious. It's almost enough to make me feel sorry for him. :'D

Thank you! Will try to FINISH it in a more timely fashion, now that the splurge of summer homework and school-beginning and laziness is over (hahahaha good one, I know, right?).

not that I read Trek fic, or that I'm likely to start reading it in the near future, but

I have to admit, your writing style makes me feel terribly envious and inadequate, because it's so distinctive that anything less, well, quirky looks bare and pedestrian by comparison. You don't need me to tell you that you're a strikingly good writer. I would just say that the wondrous whimsical quirkiness (which incidentally looks almost made for mimicry) is delightful but a bit of an affectation, and therefore needs to be kept strictly controlled so that it doesn't totally overbalance everything else (i.e. character, plot, stuff).

So. Yes. I'll go back to being mildly envious now. And the dissertation, of course. :'D

OBVIOUSLY you don't read Trek fic, what kind of universe would it be in which you DID?

[possibly_thrice]

:DDDDDDDDD

This is basically the writing style that I try to unleash fully only when writing Star Trek fanfiction, because, like, YES, quirk is fun, but exactly as you say, it's hard to sustain for any extended period of time without blowing a hole in some other element. *winces at the occasional earlier description-pile*

You are always so psychic, is really kind of extraordinarily useful! And also this comment makes me flap my hands a little.

(I may even be in the interesting position of being tempted to offer YOU a puppy).

Re: OBVIOUSLY you don't read Trek fic, what kind of universe would it be in which you DID?

[clodia_metelli]

I'll take a puppy if it's small and cute and kind of kittenish :'D

*pat* I didn't really think you needed to be told any of that, but, you know. Sometimes it's useful.

Re: OBVIOUSLY you don't read Trek fic, what kind of universe would it be in which you DID?

[possibly_thrice]

Hrmph. Well. I suppose that can be arranged.

It is very useful! I require constant confirmation to make sure that I haven't just finally gotten that divorce from reality I keep talking about. So. You know. XD

[hiddenfacade]

My first thought, when I saw this was updated; can I kiss you?

I'm shaking with how happy I am and how wonderful this is and, and, and I have no words for how great/wonderful you made me feel. You single handedly lifted today from okay to great. Thank you for updating this. You totally made my day.

I'm grinning with how happy you made me. Shit, I adore your characterization to death: Bones, Spock, Prime, Uhura, I love 'em.

This whole entire fic is beau-ti-ful!

[possibly_thrice]

Oh, wow. I'm so glad you're enjoying it this much! Thank you!

[graceandfire]

This Jim is really kind of...insane. Like...insane, insane. Still highly functioning and genius-like but...insane. This is disturbing and fascinating and cool all at the same time. You kind of want him to keep succeeding even though you know it's a really, really bad idea.

She’s not a tall woman, but her posture is perfect, and the exacting, merciless architecture of her spine uplifts her, brings her high and near as the lip of a cliff so that he can feel the cool breath of her shadow falling over him though it isn’t in fact doing any such thing.

Also, I just love the way you turn a phrase. Wow.

[possibly_thrice]

Yesss. It's funny, too, because I started out thinking he was crazy but not, oh, completely gone, but then I was all, "batshit insane is more fun", and... yeah. That it still wins your -- sympathy? Disturbed fascination? -- for him is a relief, because he is way past the boundary line by this point. *g*

Thank you!
