fabulous new star trek kirk/spock fic by k'sal up! and one by me too!

[cimorene]

it's like a kirk/spock festival. eee.

title: Incident Report
author: k'sal
fandom: star trek: the original series
pairing: kirk/spock
rating: pg
summary: something happened when vulcan ambassador soran walked into secure conference room d on antares viii without permission. at least, there was a lot of scowling, and now spock's not talking. kirk writes an incident report and spock claims there wasn't an incident. what the hell is going on?
beta by: ME. (i feel so proud.)

(And as an aside, if the Commander is still sulking about being forced to spend hours defending the Vithan claim that the Sc'anna should not be allowed to wear orange on the grounds that the color orange belonged exclusively to the Vithan royal house, may I point out the following?

A. The Commander's very logical and detailed argument supporting the Vithan claim was a masterpiece of debate.
B. I have it recorded, and might consider playing that recording at a staff meeting as an example of the power and influence of logic.
C. We only flipped for who got to represent which lot of bad boys because the Commander stated that he could express no preference for one side.
D. That the coin I flipped had two heads has no bearing on the outcome - the Commander had the opportunity to pick the Sc'anna in the first place. Furthermore, using the double-headed coin was merely a way for the Captain to demonstrate the logical pitfalls of agreeing to such a thing. I doubt the Commander will ever forget that you can't trust coin-flipping humans without, at a minimum, inspecting the coin, and this proves the logic of my training procedures.
E. If the Commander had won the toss he would still have expressed no preference for either the Sc'anna or the Vithans, thereby forcing me to assign him a group. A human can't logically be blamed for wanting to avoid a sulking Vulcan, can he?
F. If you had asked to check the coin, I have three. A two-tailed one, a two-headed one, and one with heads and tails. I took them off Gary Mitchell years ago, after I noticed that an Andorian trade delegation left our ship with little else but the clothes on their backs and confused expressions. The right way to flip coins is to demand to toss the coin yourself and tell the other party to call their side while the coin is in the air. You palm the tails coin, flip the heads coin, cover it with your hand while confirming their guess, and then you substitute the tail coin if necessary. Full disclosure has been made.
G. References to Fizzbin have no logical validity in this context.)

title: a logical organ
author: cim
fandom: star trek: the original series

rating: nc-17
spoilers: for the episode 'the deadly years.' the story follows immediately on its heels and draws heavily on it. however, prior knowledge of the episode is not necessary to comprehension.
summary: the radiation poisoning didn't kill them--it just let them see how terrible that loss would be. now they have a second chance.
notes: beta by k'sal, who took a confused and rather unfocused story that i didn't understand, explained it to me, and patiently walked me through five revisions. words cannot express my gratitude nor my adoration.

He tore the shirt off in one impatient jerk and let it fall to the floor of Spock's quarters, a small black puddle next to the toe of his boot. "Explain my irrational behavior? That's a tall order for a human, isn't it, Spock? Shall I start at birth and work forwards, or at death and work back?"

He had successfully diverted Spock's attention. "You are not dead," said Spock uneasily.

He himself had estimated early the day before that they each had less than a week to live--and the mental deterioration, the aging of Jim's mind, had already taken hold to such a degree that he'd thought the brilliant, irresistible being he knew lost forever. Jim had looked out of his own eyes like a caged animal, pleading and lost. "Taking away a man's command--well, that's--Spock. I wouldn't have believed it of you."

Now Jim seated himself deliberately and leaned over his knees with a predatory glint in his eye, as if to demonstrate how completely the effects of the radiation were reversed. He said with every appearance of rationality, "Not yet."

re:'well,youcouldveread...any'

with that logic, i could've read *any* like, anybody else's, elsewhere. although, granted, that idea is a leetle skeery, 'cause, y'know, when you don't know where you're goin', sometimes you end up in freaky-in-the-bad way places..

i've even posted another since we were friends--in janary or march or so.

willow-or-wesley's: aHA! then, like, i point you to the posts of my (sadly, totally *non-ironic or hipster-cynically hand wavin, prententious-possible*) and go, um. i wasn't all there, yo.

in fact, i don't think i really started reading LJ again on a semi-reg basis while understanding higher,past-basic concepts 'til, like, may.

ahhahaha. well. that is true. not much of you was there.

but i mean you could have looked for mine, if you WANTED to read it. you knew i wrote it, didn't you?

[oneko-briar.livejournal.com]

no, no- you did! excepting it was all about how you were *into* K/S shipperdom, and I assumed that you were read-only and that when you mentioned having written a good chunk of 'a logical organ' already i just assumed it was your first fic.

comprende? ^-^

i guess.

maybe.

are you sure i didn't say something about how honestly k'sal and i are the best writers in the genre?

Re: k/s vuhrgin. no, really! i have never read k/s before

[oneko-briar.livejournal.com]

no, you didn't. you did say she was very good, though. and i can totally see you saying that (before you said it just now), how you and her are the best writers in the shipdom, excepting that if/since it *is* the Oldest Shipdom that kinda strikes me as kind of sad, because you (and maybe her?) are (sorta) new (if you condsider that the ship's been around before you were born) and two people are not much, they are only two, although it's probable any _best_ (previous) writers could have graduated and moved on...

it is true that there is some neither of us have read, and are not likely too, in out-of-print printzines. we just don't think it's likely that anyone really really good, with quite our view, which is unusual, has ever written in it before. the chances are... small.
