The time I spend reading and writing slash is time happily spent away from my graduate work. The only way I know how to get better at the writing part is to keep doing it until I can figure out what the hell I'm doing.
I can't remember a time when TOS wasn't in my life in some form, so it's great fun to play around in that world with words, both in the slash writing that I post here, and in my rhetorical/slashy work over on my blog.
The fal tor pan may have put Spock's mind and body back together, but he still has one basic question: who am I, exactly?
After V'gr, Spock tries to make sense of his experiences and what they will mean for his future with Kirk.
Spock has gotten his hands on Kirk, but their relationship isn't all that he had hoped. With Kirk in his arms, his mind tries to find what is missing.
Later, fed by the plak tow, Spock's fury about their relationship spills over into the koon-ut-kal-if-fee.
After Vulcan, Kirk is alive but their relationship appears to be dead--until Kirk invites Spock to talk things over on the observation deck.
At the place where his life must end, Spock reflects on what has been lost. And what might still be gained.
Languages have never been the Captain's forte. No wonder he and Spock get their wires crossed.
Kirk finds that sometimes, having time to think isn't a good thing--especially when there's something you're trying to avoid.
When Kirk asks Spock to seduce McCoy, it's in everybody's best interest for Spock to succeed. If only McCoy saw it that way.
McCoy can't keep a secret. Especially when he's ben drinking.
Admiral Komack accidently does something right--for once--and Kirk and Spock reap the rewards.
For Spock, it's easier to be himself in the dark, where you can summon the ones that haunt you.
In the wake of Kirk's resurrection, Bones spirits him into seclusion so that he can recover in peace: away from tribunals, reporters, and everyone else in creation, it seems. Though surely it's really just one.
While on shore leave on remote Evaline IX, Kirk suffers head trauma that neither McCoy nor Spock alone can repair. But if they work together in a joint mind meld? Maybe there’s hope.
After the plak tow is broken, the mother of all bad days manages to get worse for Kirk when Spock asks for something the captain isn't sure he's ready to give.
A sequel of sorts to "Opportunity Found."
A miserable camping trip gets more interesting once the rain stops and McCoy falls asleep.
Spock's brooding in an empty lab is interupted by the very person he's brooding about.
This is a sequel to "Ready?."
It's 3 am--again--and Kirk is not happy about it.
