Cannedebonbon drew a beautiful picture of Spock in a geisha costume http://cannedebonbon.livejournal.com/112275.html. We both agree that this would make a wonderful story. Historically, men were the original geisha's and I would like to see a fic where Spock, was perhaps stolen as a child from his prominent family and sold to a geisha house in another province. James Kirk is captain of the Enterprise, a western ship on an exploratory mission to open trade with Japan.
What I'd like:
*Bonus for Sybok (Sarek's older son from a previous marriage) being behind the kidnapping plot to ensure his place as heir and in revenge for Sarek setting aside his mother in favor of Amanda, a western woman that was the sole survivor of a shipwreck.
*Bonus for Kirk trying to seduce his geisha and winds up falling in love. **Double bonus for the feeling being mutual.
*Bonus for it to be illegal for Spock to handle weapons, but surprising his aggressors/assassins with martial arts (neck pinch?)
*Bonus for McCoy finding out Spock is male from having to give him medical aid. How surprised his is, is up to you.
*Bonus for a touching and emotional scene between father and son at their reunion and again at their parting.
That's what I'm hoping for, but I'll be just as happy with any kind of Geisha Spock fic. I know writing is hard work, but making it historical is even harder, so however this comes out, the author will have earned a lifetime of virtual hugs from me. :)
Please check out Cannedebonbon's drawing for inspiration.
Why yes, before you ask, I'm watching the episode A Taste Of Armageddon while issuing this challenge. While I'm watching this episode, I had a thought: What if war had really started?
So, the challenge:
While on a planet, war breaks out. Could be against guerrilla forces on the planet fighting for a revolution or another planet could have infiltrated the populace and decided to strike during treaty talks/offical ceremony/first contact ect. Jim and Spock are caught in middle of the war and are seperated for whatever reason, but not before Spock, in a stroke of genius or desperation, links them together without giving Jim all the facts about a mind link. Because of fighting, communication with Starfleet and the Enterprise is lost.
Others may be part of the landing party caught in the fighting. Author's descrestion.
One of our duo must be caught and held as a hostage and the other must be "recruited" and fighting for the other side. Not looking for serious torture of the hostage.
During the time the two are seperated, they become closer because of the telepathic link and talking through it, eventually falling in love with each other.
Must haves:
Hope to see:
Also, would make me happy fangirl to see this take place as a civil war on New Vulcan, if author could pull it off. Maybe between those who believe Vulcans have gone too far with Surak's logic and those who think they haven't taken Surak's ideas far enough. That's just a jump point and in no way required.
Mostly, have fun!
Sarek has been experiencing a odd series of COMM calls from his Son. Spock it seems has been accidently sending messages to his Father during events on the Enterprise. "Butt Dialing" as the Humans seem to refere to it.
It's up to you to choose if the Events are audio or video based messages. Have fun with the whole experience! I can imagine you could keep it to a one shot or a whole multi-chapter story.
There could be humor or angst. Which ever way you choose to take it, have fun with the possibilities!
In an interesting turn of events, Jim Kirk (Abrams' Verse) gets transported to another Reality (transporter malfuction, alien technology, up to author's discretion). In this reality, when Nero destroyed the USS Kelvin, Jim's counterpart died as an infant. Jim is now on the Enterprise, where Chris Pike is still the Captain, and Spock his First Officer. Both of whom, among everyone else, knows nothing of him. (By this time, Jim has become a more mature person due to his Captaincy, losing most- not all- of his brash recklessness.)
Another major turn, in this Reality, is that instead of Vulcan being destroyed, Nero attacked Earth, devastating the planet into becoming inhabitable and its population all but extinct. The surviving Humans have moved to nearby colonies, some even staying on Vulcan, as it is one of the closest Federation-aliged planets to Earth. Until Jim can find a way to return to his realm- if he even decides to return-(where his Spock is in a commited relationship with Uhura), he has decided to help the people in the alternate Reality.
Guess everyone will get to learn who he is-all over again, including a curious- and single- Vulcan First Officer. Eventual K/S.
BONUS POINTS: In the alternate reality, Bones is still married, Uhura and Scotty are dating, and Spock is slighty more accepting of his Human side. (His mother still lives).
BONUS POINTS: Spock finds Kirk to be an extreme enigma- one he relishes in unravelling.
BONUS POINTS: Kirk finds this new Spock just as attractive as the one from his realm, yet unique in his own way. However, he is hesitant to let his attraction grow because he may have to return home soon. (Despite this, his attraction intensifies nonetheless as he comes to know the Vulcan who is so much like- yet entirely different- from the Spock in his reality.)
MEGA BONUS POINTS: Until Kirk can find a way to return home (assuming the author wants him to return home), Kirk is given a position on the Enterprise, in order to put his talents to good use. Maybe in Engineering?
ENDING: Up to author- James can stay in new realm to help rebuild/stay with Spock, or return to his realm. HAVE FUN.
Jim has a dog and they have a mutual loving relationship with each other. However, the dog is protective of Jim, and has a long running track of disapproving of any boyfriend Jim brings home and chasing them out of the house.
However, one day in a walk through San Francisco, the dog spots Spock at a book store, looking for books that would help him undertsnad the humans he's surrounded by ever since he entered Starfleet. The dog likes Spock right away and wants him to be Jim's lover, thus draging Jim all the way through traffic, since they're on the other side of the street from where Spock is.
However, Spock is intimidated by the dog and harshly tells Jim to get his dog away from him, while insulting said beloved dog at the same time. This angers Jim, and they end up having a bad start. Their relationship worsens with every meeting, despite the dog's efforts.
But that changes when one night, Jim accidently and unknowingly consumes something he's really allergic to. The dog, knowing immediately what when wrong, tries to get Jim to safety away from traffic. The dog succeeds and then starts searching for help as Jim sinks into anaphylactic shock.
The dog runs into Spock and tries to get him to help Jim. It takes stealing his scarf made by his human mother for Spock to follow. When Spock sees Jim and signs of his struggle to breathe, he carries Jim bridal style and rushes him to the Starfleet medical center with dog in tow. (Spock does get his scarf back right after he arrives where Jim is)
While Jim is rushed into ER, Spock sits in the waiting room with Jim's dog by his side, worrying for Jim with tense pacing and whimpering. Spock warms up to and comforts Jim's dog as they wait.
From here, their relationship improves as Spock gets to know Jim as he assists Jim and his dog at his stay in the hospital, and they learn that they share many common interests. Spock starts visiting Jim to make sure he's okay and learns about Jim's past relationships (and his dog's infamous reputation). Their relationship grows as they spend time together at cafes, fairs, science conventions, the beack, sailing trips (never read a fic in which they went sailing), and a gay pride parade.
They soon are loving each other (bell hooks, "Romance: Sweet Love" (2000)) and become lovers. Spock tells his mother, since his father is not one for phone conversations at all, which leads to a surprising development: his parents are going to be visiting Spock on Earth very soon and want to meet Jim while they're at it.
Spock is freaking out in his own way about this, which is made even more conflicting by Jim's moving in with his dog to Spock's off-campus apartment. What will Spock due?
I want Spock and Jim to have a happy ending together. The dog needs to be large and/or strong enough to pull Jim across a traffic clustered street, so keep that in mind.
Major requirement: Jim's and Spock's relationship shall not be described in terms of "in love", only "loving". Refer to the source given in the eighth paragraph of the work that will help to make you understand what I mean (Though you'll have to read it quite a few times to get it, despite hooks's lacking of academic wording writing). If you can't find this work and want to read it, just e-mail me; I have the book it's in and will scan the section for your to read.
Please, in any sex scenes have Jim as bottom.
Bonus if Sarek is like really scruntinizing, but Jim isn't fazed by this and treats him and Amanda as family and hugs both of them. Have Spock freak out at this and try to separate them to save Jim, only to be shocked when Sarek returns the hug. Sarek's explanation: might as well get to know and be comfortable with my soon-to-be son-in-law.
Super duper bonus if you have Spock's family really liking Jim's very smart and friendly dog. Including T'Pau (Maybe use a future scene or story if you want to fulfill this bonus).
In this AU, it was Humanity who went through an Awakening instead of Vulcans. Humans are extremely peaceful, curious, and are staunch pacifists, while Vulcans are still passionate (and dangerous). A young James Kirk, Second in Command to Chris Pike, finds his outlooks on life challenged when the Enterprise is overrun by a Vulcan warship. In the hectic alarm, James and a few others (your choice) are taken captive by the warrior Vulcans, but the Enterprise manages to get away in the end. James, himself, is taken property of Vulcan Prince Spock, but all may not be lost when Spock discovers James is his T'hy'la. BONUS POINTS: If the story is very long, and if there is some K/S loving. MEGA BONUS POINTS: If another Vulcan (perhaps Stonn) desires James for their own. PREFER: Top!Spock, Bottom!Kirk NOTE: Feel free to elaborate on Humankind's evolution (they can live longer, have certain "abilities" if you wish, etc.) MAJOR RULE? HAVE FUN.
