So I posted my Star Trek fic: Maybe He's Born With It (Maybe It's GlaxosEpsilonYor)!!

Going by file dates I started that one in 2020, so compared to all my other wips, it was relatively new. It took a lot of writing to finish because when I started it was really just a couple of paragraphs and then five handwritten pages. I quickly had a first draft, but it needed a lot of editing to connect the themes and refine Jim's voice. It's at the very start of his career as a captain and he's still a hot bro-y mess, and even though I found myself resisting his self-centeredness, I needed his actions to reflect that selfishness, and I think I hit a good balance of bro and personal growth. He can be taught! Spock, of course, is perfect. No notes.

Next up in my endless list of neglected WIPs: It should be my Pinto fic—which, as I recall, is all but done except for the last lines, fuck you, last lines—but instead, it's the G-rated Stargate Atlantis [community profile] kink_bingo non-sexual knifeplay fic about an extinct Satedan fruit. I gotta be me.

Looks like I last opened this in 2011 and it's basically complete. Let's gooooo.

What's in my head needs either several thousand words or silence, so I'm going with a sentence.

A funeral, sorry, no, a "celebration of life" that includes some tears, but more laughter, is a successful ritual.

Though what y'all will mostly appreciate is that the final speaker chose to read one of her poems to close the service, and I was mouthing the words along with him. Within my sight (I deliberately sat in the middle of the room, not up front), several others were doing the same.

All my proud sisterhood,
Swearing you will be good,
Wishing the hell you could leave it unsaid.

Bare your arm, make a fist, tattoo it on your wrist;
Never correct a man's grammar in bed.
