Purgatory!
Star Trek XI(/House of Leaves); McCoy, Uhura, Nero; gen.
2000 words, unedited, pointless, will live to hold in contempt (but never regret), etc.
For this request.

Your complimentary warnings for mild gore and cannibalism are right here. Wow, that's convenient!

( maybe you shouldn't play around black holes anymore, Jim )

star trek, syntax errors everywhere!, romulan scum, what is this i can't even

Have you read, by chance, Apathy and Other Small Victories by Paul Neilan?

Reading this reminds me of the book I am reading right now. Not the context, but the style.

I think you might enjoy it.

I'm about a third ofthe way through and have already laughed loudly several times becuase of his wording/descriptions.

I recommend it, if you have not read it already

Sir. Sir, if you are recommending it, I need to find a way to jack this book directly into my braaaaain immediately.

I have not read it but, ohohoho, I plan to rectify that. <3

Sooo... I peeked at your LJ after you posted in the ST Kink meme, and found this, too, which just confirms that if I somehow manage to read everything you ever write with Nero and/or Ayel in it, it still won't be enough @_@

As an aside, I think I commented anonymously on it in the meme, but your Nero/D'Spal was amazing, and remains one of my favourites... It does not surprise me to find out it is yours as well!

Why, it's a delight to have you sidewind over to these parts! I always feel guilty about posting on the meme with anything other than fills or feedback, so I don't always get to say a proper thank you.

And so! Thank you! Iiii am honestly relieved to discover that my fixation with Romulans in general now has a practical application. (That meme, I don't know how I would justify any of this to the world without it, haha.) Very glad to entertain you, milady, and I'll do my best to keep at it! :D

...cannibalism, man. Seriously, reading your fic? It's like Christmas. What's the phrase? A Christmas to dismember.

There were a lot of things McCoy could say to that. He could say: it seems like it's always night here. He could say: the man was my closest friend and I'll kill you if I hear you speak about him again. He could say: yeah.

Except for bits like this, which tear holes in various of my fragile, wobbly tissues.

Also, is it a bad sign that I... really love the camaraderie of the Enterprise crew as they gather around to eat their captain in an exquisitely symbolic last supper, etc.? They're creepy but they're also kind of sweet, or at least they retain that shell of sweetness over the underlying wrongness. They're the creepier for it, of course, but still. And then the conversation between Ayel and Nero happens, and it's so comforting, so classically inhuman in their impracticality and their honor.

What I'm trying to say is nnnngh.
