I <3 gay cowboys Spirk
#It just tickles my innards to watch him tap Bones like that and then watch Bones give him a shove. I love ❤️ to see true love happening before my very eyes
nothing scarier than being a fan of a fic and then becoming mutuals with the author. like hi shakespeare. big fan of your fake dating au
feels like fake news
Ok, but hear me out—what if we just invented a Time Machine and traveled to a time after we’d already written it? We wouldn’t need to write the fic. It would have already been written by our past self.
That strategy has some promise even if the temporal mechanics give me a headache.
me: I hate cliches
media: here’s a character losing control of their powers when they’re sick
me: omg a character losing control of their powers when they’re sick
IT'S THE GOOD SHIT
Yup.
Spock, clearly having some strong emotions about their circumstances: I am being so logical right now.
Kirk, very clearly indulging him: You are the most logical, good job.
Okay, I'm all over the place with my physiological grasp of Vulcans. Are they hotter or colder than humans? Why? Does that make them feel the heat more or less than humans? Is their heartbeat faster or slower?
Also if you have a strong opinion or an explanation or anything to say please tell me! I wanna get a grasp on this one
Colder and faster heart beat bc that’s what I learned in my star fleet medical training. I will die on this hill.

This week, I read a fic that was around 20 years old, which had originally been posted on the author's personal website and which she added to AO3 a few years ago. She listed her email address with the fic, so after I finished reading, I sent her an email saying how much I enjoyed the story, how much I appreciated the work and effort she obviously put into it, and thanked her for uploading it to AO3. She responded the next day and thanked me for my message, then said she had a few more stories in the same series that she hadn't gotten around to uploading. I checked this morning--she added a 35,000 word novella and thanked me in the summary.
👏 comment 👏 on 👏 old 👏 fics 👏
That scene in Star Trek V where Bones tries to complain about having to spend his shore leave with these two idiots, only for Spock to remind him that they all chose each other on purpose over their blood relatives.
And of course before and after this scene, Bones is hypothesizing that the three of them share a psychic bond. Then he gets mad when Spock doesn’t immediately discount the idea and instead, agrees with it.
Happy holidays to everyone here—and your found families with whom you have a psychic bond and choose to spend time with on purpose (even though they do dumb shit like try to climb a mountain without any protective gear)!
