Gaila, AOS, Being Easy Isn't Easy

[igrockspock]

Nyota perches on the edge of her bed. Her long legs are exposed by a leather mini-skirt and wavy black hair flows over her shoulders. She is packing a tiny evening clutch with lip gloss and a single condom, and while she's distracted, Gaila takes a minute to appreciate the view. Nyota snaps the bag shut with a decisive click and looks up at her roommate, high heels tapping impatiently

I love the way you write Gaila. Poor girl, having to lug around a giant bag like that.

Jocelyn McCoy, AOS, #18, Part 1/?

[oldcountrydoc]

If by "happy" you mean trapped with no means of escape...? Then yes, I'm happy.All she knows was that it wasn't supposed to be like this

Re: Jocelyn McCoy, AOS, #18, Part 2/2

"Oh, come on, Josie, what is it? What did the doctor say?" Once he sees the look on her face, he knows that he should have looked her over himself, instead of taking that extra shift. Yeah, she has a penchant for melodrama, but this look is different. She's always had a weak constitution that only gets worse with nerves, so maybe law school wasn't the best idea. From what she tells him, it's nothing but cutthroat competition and nearly impossible coursework. Perhaps she's spreading herself too thin and wearing herself out. And perhaps, despite being as stubborn as an ox, she just isn't cut out for the legal world

Ooh! This is my favorite account of Leonard and Jocelyn yet. It shows so clearly where the fault lines in their marriage must have been, and Leonard comes off as a bit of a bastard, but in a very plausible and human way. There's just enough to imagine what the problems are from his side too. You should definitely post this elsewhere as a full story so it can get the audience it deserves!

Re: Jocelyn McCoy, AOS, #18, Part 2/2

[oldcountrydoc]

Thank you so much! As much as fic tends to demonize Jocelyn and make her out to be some awful shrew, I really think the divorce as just as much (if not more) Leonard's fault as it was hers.

I love Leonard to death (hence the RP journal), but he's sure as hell not perfect. Far from it. And I've been dying to see things from her point of view. Thanks again!

AOS/ Winona Kirk/ #25 "There was nothing passive about her aggression."

[mockingbirdq]

Note: long fic is long and under link.
Winona Kirk fights for her family's "survivors' benefits" and reflects on all that Starfleet has taken from her.

Winona Kirk/AOS/"She had no intention of suffering alone"

[coasterchild]

Winona met Frank one year and two months after George died. Starfleet had given her additional grievance time on top of her maternity leave. As much as she craved it, with two boys to raise, she hadn't found the time to go back on duty

Re: Winona Kirk/AOS/"She had no intention of suffering alone"

[coasterchild]

Winona found an excuse to drop Sam and James off with Rachel for the next five weekends in a row, and each time she and Frank found themselves a new place to eat in the city. When he learned that she was that Winona Kirk, he'd only nodded and held her hand. He told her about the fiance he'd lost to illness about four years ago, and they both agreed, without saying a word, not to discuss her or George.

After those five weeks, she'd brought Frank back to the farmhouse, and he fell in love with the country air. He watched the kids for her when she had errands to run. He told them to eat their vegetables. He told Sam to clean his room, and he played peak-a-boo with James. He kept them safe while she was away, and after six months, she told him she was going to return to active duty in Starfleet. He moved his things into the house, and Winona kissed Frank and her boys goodbye.

And she felt like she could breath.

George wanted her to be happy. And if she couldn't have that, she had no intention of suffering alone.

Re: Winona Kirk/AOS/"She had no intention of suffering alone"

[izzyfics]

I always love seeing positive takes on their relationship. I especially liked her reaction to flirting. Of course no one would flirt with her after the tragedy and all the good things they had to say about her husband.

Re: Winona Kirk/AOS/"She had no intention of suffering alone"

[coasterchild]

Thank you! I feel like Frank gets the shaft from most of fandom. I really don't think Winona would fall for a man who was horrible to her kids, and the only time we even hear his voice, he's reacting to Jim doing something incredibly dangerous. I don't think that's a good basis for deciding he's the evil, evil stepfather.

Spock/Uhura, AOS, "Think of me as a challenge"

[laugh_cry_live]

“Nyota, I do not have experience in the area of sexual intercourse,” Spock stated as he pulled his lips from hers, their breathing heavy, her hands under his shirt

Re: Spock/Uhura, AOS, "Think of me as a challenge"

[morlockiness]

Damn, that was hot.

Re: Spock/Uhura, AOS, "Think of me as a challenge"

[laugh_cry_live]

Thank you, glad you liked it!

Re: Spock/Uhura, AOS, "Think of me as a challenge"

[igrockspock]

This is sexy, but also really in character. I can believe Nyota would explain herself to Spock in this way, and that those terms would make sex easier for him to understand.
