[speccygeekgrrl]

The Wounded Sky, the first conversation between baby!K't'lk and the grieving Scotty. (reboot or not, the thought of tiny glas spider sitting on Keenser's head is pretty lolworthy)

[raven]

omg that would be SO CUTE.

The Vulcan Academy Murders--Sorrel, Corrigan

[beatrice_otter]

Corrigan and Sorrel, first teaming up and getting to know one another. Bonus points for wee!T'Mir with a crush, and Sorel and T'Zan trying to marry Corrgigan off.

Strangers from the Sky--Sorahl and T'Lera

[beatrice_otter]

Back on Vulcan and seeing things through new eyes.

Killing Time, (alternate) Jim Kirk/Jerry Richardson (aka Romeo and Juliet)

[killabeez]

Throwing this out there because I am just that shameless. Bonus points if you work K/S in there, too.

Re: Killing Time, (alternate) Jim Kirk/Jerry Richardson (aka Romeo and Juliet)

[killabeez]

I should add, if you'd like a specific prompt -- maybe a third timeline?

Spock's World, Spock/McCoy

[stellar_dust]

Bones learned Vulcan for Spock, and then blew away the entire world with his awesome. And the book ends with the two of them heading off to bed together (no, really, it does). So. How did that happen?

Re: Spock's World, Spock/McCoy

[biichan]

It does? *checks copy* HOLY SHIT IT DOES.

Okay, that settles it. I've suspected for a while that Diane Duane is a stealth Spock/McCoy shipper (especially given how Kirk finds them together on not!Vulcan in The Wounded Sky) and it looks like this is entirely true and plausible.

THIS ONLY MAKE ME LOVE HER MORE YOU KNOW.

Crucible: McCoy: Provenance of Shadows, McCoy/Barrows

[stellar_dust]

The book tells us how cute, adorable, and happy they were before the story started. Write something *not at all* angsty about the two of them being happy together - either pre-Guardian of Forever, or sometime during the story proper.

Crucible: McCoy: Provenance of Shadows, McCoy/Edith Keeler

[stellar_dust]

Pairing speaks for itself.

(Um, note, I'm only 1/4 through the book as of right now -- if something happens later that would negate this prompt (or the one above), feel free to run with it, or go AU or whatever.)

Doctor's Orders, McCoy

[stellar_dust]

Remember that time McCoy stole Dieter's cadaver? Yeah, write that story! TOS-verse, or if you're feeling extra cracky, reboot it and get nu!Kirk and Gaila in on the hijinx.

Spock's World, by Diane Duane

[rachelmanija]

Write another of the Vulcan historical chapters, before any of the characters from the show were born.

Enterprise: The First Adventure, by Vonda N. McIntyre

[rachelmanija]

...and then what happened to Janice Rand?

Alternate: what happened to Janice Rand in the reboot 'verse?

Doctor's Orders, McCoy & Kaiev

[stellar_dust]

McCoy gives Kaiev that physical he promised him. I'm thinking gen/humor, but you could also go the slashy route ...

Killing Time, Kirk/Spock

[jhaelyn]

Killing Time with the reboot versions, especially if the change happens early enough in Kirk and Spock's friendship/relationship (whatever works ^^) that Kirk and Spock are still slightly uncomfortable with each other and they get tossed yet *another* set of memories where they're shown that no matter what the universe, Spock and Kirk belong together. Slash or at least as slashy as the book. :)

Uhura's Song, Another StarFreedom to-Ennien and baby Sivaoans

[acroamatica]

Another StarFreedom lands on Eeiauo along with four young, impressionable baby Sivaoans. All of them are ripe for a little culture shock - and ready to shock a few people themselves. What happens, and can we please throw Micky Mickiewicz in there if it's not too much trouble? :D

Re: Uhura's Song, Another StarFreedom to-Ennien and baby Sivaoans

[nestra]

Woohoo! I approve of this prompt.

The Romulan Way, Arrhae/McCoy

[teaphile]

Maybe he's got a thing for Vulcanoids. Maybe she's realized he's about the only person she can sleep with.

Vulcan's Glory, Number One/Caitlin Barry

[teaphile]

Need I say more?

Vulcan Academy Murders, T'Mir

[teaphile]

T'Mir's adventures on that cargo ship on Earth. Or any of her adventures on Earth, really.

[sanj]

Assignment: Eternity and/or The Eugenics Wars, vols. 1 & 2 -- further adventures of Gary Seven, Roberta Lincoln, and Isis.

[nestra]

Uhura's Song, Cloudshape-to-Ennien. A story of Cloudshape, the trickster of Sivao.

[melannen]

Ooh, yes! Pardon me if I riff off of this for another prompt. :D

Uhura's Song, T'Kay, Vulcan stories

[melannen]

Uhura's Song, T'Kay, a story of T'Kay, the trickster of Vulcan.

(Finish this story: "Jim Kirk thought immediately of the one bright afternoon he had found Evan Wilson and a double handful of children, Eeiauoan and Sivaoan, all sitting on the hospital steps, all listening with rapt attention as Spock told them the adventures of T'Kay, the Vulcan trickster. The memory brought a smile. "As in telling stories to the children? I didn't know he had it in him.")

Pawns and Symbols, Jean/Tirax

[sandrine]

Anything, really. Missing scene, future reunion, it's all good! It would be interesting to see what Tirax would do to Jean if he really had her at his mercy, or how things develop after where the book leaves off, if there's a way for them to work things out between them, one way or the other.

(There's so much hatred and anger and unresolved sexual tension between them, and every time I reread the book and get to their confrontation on Tahrn where he follows her, twists her wrist onto her back and "roughly pulls her against him", telling her he could do anything he wanted with her, I want to read the pairing a little more than I already do.)

Crossroad, Lao Zhiming & Chris Chapel

[cofax7]

What does Chris Chapel do afterwards? Or tell a story about Lao Zhiming and how he became a fantabulous Starfleet commander in his own right.

Crossroad, the Yoondri

[cofax7]

What happens in the future after McKennon goes back with the Yoon elders, who are so much more talented and determined than she thinks? Or tell a story about Iriane, that fierce Yoondri warrior and her work with the Shadow Fleet.

Crossroads, Spock, Dreams of the future

[cofax7]

I want Spock, near the end of his life, to begin to realize what happened on the Enterprise when they were near the Crossroads Nebula, and remember what he learned about the future. What does he do with that knowledge?

Best Destiny, Kirk and April

[thedrummertobeat]

This whole thread is like all my imaginations come true.

Captain April played such an important role in George Sr's career and in Jim's revelations about Starfleet; I wonder how he might be involved with the Kirk family without George there. Bonus points for reference to George/Drake.

Re: Best Destiny, Kirk and April

[nestra]

To clarify -- is this original timeline or reboot?

Vulcan's Glory, Caitlin Barry/Number One

[thedrummertobeat]

That whole scene where they're pitted against each other in the null-g and Number One is talking about how beautiful Cait is? Yes MA'AM. It can be reboot or TOS, either way, more of them please!
