Star Trek Reboot Drabble Challenge, Mark II

[yahtzee63]

For some reason, it was only yesterday that I realized Memorial Day weekend was upon us. I am sooooo looking forward to a three-day weekend with only one social event to attend. There will be much writing of fanfic and sitting around in sweats. Lolling and indolence! The three weeks after that are going to be INSANE, so I think the indolence is

#8: Spock, unspoken

[shayheyred]

Spock's face is impassive, unless one knows how to read it. A cocked eyebrow, a narrowing of his gaze, an almost imperceptible tightening of his lips -- these are signs virtually impossible to see, and virtually impossible for Nyota to miss.

Only she sees amusement in that quirked eyebrow, anger in the narrowing of his eyes. She alone sees in that subtle twist of Spock's lips his disdain for the boistrous humans who surround him, who feel the need to announce their every thought aloud, no matter how foolish or unimportant.

And only Nyoto hears what Spock never utters. Those words, those few words, unspoken but not unsaid between them, are hers and hers alone.

This is really, really lovely. And a little bit hot.

Thank you. If only I hadn't misspelled boisterous, I'd be deliriously happy!

Really like the line about Spock's distaste for how humans need to broadcast all their thoughts.

#17 - McCoy, bourbon

[flyingcarpet]

Leonard stepped through the door and set down his duffel. The room was small, barely ten feet square, with stark white walls and plain serviceable furniture

Re: #17 - McCoy, bourbon

[yahtzee63]

This is excellent, especially his memories of his working life and the light shining through the bottle.

Re: #17 - McCoy, bourbon

[flyingcarpet]

Thank you! And thanks very much for hosting. :)

Oh, very nice. A very... age-appropriate and insightful character sketch. I only hope the Academy had the decency to give the poor man a single room. :-)

(Dang if you haven't made me nostalgic for my own college days on top of it all!)

#58 - Kirk and Sulu, falling

[muzivitch]

The first lesson in any of the fighting arts, Sulu thinks, is learning how to fall.

He learned it twice - with kendo, with his grandfather, and again later, when he took up the more western art of fencing. He hasn't learned any other martial arts, hasn't had the inclination, but he's observed quite enough to know that this is de rigueur, a constant no matter what style you learn.

And yet, he muses with a slight smile, watching with keenly amused eyes as their captain takes on four men twice his size with an exuberant grin, James Kirk has never learned this.

Sulu suspects he never will.

Awesome!

Thanks! My first attempt at Star Trek :)

FAAAABULOUS character study.

#43 -- Spock/Uhura, music

[yahtzee63]

Spock awakens to the sound of her singing. It's some old Earth ballad about not knowing why someone had to go - a simple tune, but evocative

Re: #43 -- Spock/Uhura, music

[recumbentgoat]

that was very nice.

Re: #43 -- Spock/Uhura, music

[yahtzee63]

Thanks muchly!

Re: #43 -- Spock/Uhura, music

[promethia_tenk]

Looooove the little domestic moments between these two.

6. Spock, childhood

[promethia_tenk]

This is part of a longer fic I'm working on, in which I try to get into Spock's head while he's flying the red matter ship into the Nerada, all kamikaze-crazed, with relevant flashbacks to earlier moments in his life. A memory from when he was very young

Re: 6. Spock, childhood

[yahtzee63]

Oooh, interesting -- both this ficlet and your idea for your fic.

Re: 6. Spock, childhood

[promethia_tenk]

Thank you! We'll see if the longer version ever gets done :-|

Re: 6. Spock, childhood

[illariy]

Oh, interesting! I'd love to read the full fic, too. ;-)
