Title: Empire State of Mind
Series: Star Trek AOS fusion with Gossip Girl
Rating: PG-13/R for this chapter
Summary: It's finally Thanksgiving on the Upper East Side, but turkey and stuffing aren't the only things on the menu today. How about a nice heaping side dish of drama to go with the yams?
Notes: In addition to the standard trigger warning about Nyota's bulimia, there is an additional one for people who have attempted or know someone who has attempted/committed suicide. (It's not Sam.)

This chapter is dedicated to hora_tio, as her birthday was this past Saturday! Happy belated, my dear!

Full notes on AO3, where the chapter has only been posted due to length.

Fic: So Let's Raise the Bar (And Our Cups to the Stars)
Series: Star Trek AOS water park 'verse
Rating: NC-17 because of jerking off while someone watches and gives dirty talk, oral sex, and anal sex :D
Word Count: 7,185

Summary: Jim's plans to surprise Bones with new sheets get derailed by Bones' illness. Now if only Bones was on the same page as Jim about appropriate activities while sick...
Notes: Yeah okay it took like literal years, but here. Have fic where they buy the green sheets for Bones after buying the blue sheets for Jim. It turned into an actual story instead of just porn, which is why it took me so long. Sorry about that. (I do remember saying once I can't make them fuck without a reason. Well this is just more of that, sorry to say.)

Title taken from the song "Get Lucky" by Daft Punk. HAHAHAHAHA I BEAT EVERYONE TO IT. I WIN. I FUCKING WIN.

Ahem. >.>

Moving right along, footloose and fancy-free...fic!

Title: Empire State of Mind Chapter Seven
Series: Star Trek AOS fused with the televsion/book series Gossip Girl
Rating: Teen and Up for the main fic, NC-17 for the bonus scene (seriously, do not read the bonus scene if explicit underage sex is a thing that could send you to jail for reading. I really don't need that on my conscience.)
Word Count: 25,250 for the chapter, 2,722 for the bonus scene
Summary: It's time for Nyota's birthday party. Will they escape the evening without a scandal?

Oh, who are we kidding. Of course not.
Notes: Sorry it took a few months, but hopefully with a total of 28K in fic, you won't mind. ;D

Again this is potentially triggery for people who are sensitive to or have recovered from issues involving eating disorders, specifically bulimia. Spock has a catchphrase now; he uses it twice in Chapter Seven. Also some of the parents got less shitty, while some get shittier. I'm not saying whose are which, you'll just have to read to find out.

Hope you enjoy it! XOXO

Well, mostly, I've been job hunting and writing. I have fic to post, actually, if I can stop being super lazy about editing it. Maybe I'll do that today. :)

But anyways, have a meme! ( The first line from my last 21 fics. )

***GossipTrek was omitted because the meme was about the first line of the fic itself, not the first line of new chapters. I started writing it a really long time ago, so it didn't make this list.***

Things that this meme taught me; I start with Jim's POV a lot, I apparently never open with dialogue, and sometimes I am borderline ridiculously vauge tantalizing in how I build suspense and intrigue with an opening line. ^_~ And yeah, I cheated a little on 17, but if I had kept it at just the stardate no one would have any clue what fic I was talking about. (I've only written one fic with official memos.)

Title: Will I Ever See Your Sweet Return
Series: Star Trek AOS (not a crossover or AU! ACTUAL STAR TREK)
Rating: NC-17 because they have sex like a million times (rimming, frottage, blow jobs, anal, bathtub handjobs, pretty much everything ever)
Words: 15,670

Summary: When the Enterprise negotiates peace talks with a society known as the Catalans, and Jim finds out that Bones wants someone else, he tries to nurture his broken heart. However, when Bones comes to him that night having performed a local ritual, things quickly get more complicated.
Notes: Hello and Happy Valentine's Day! Have some fic where Jim ruins his life because he's too stubborn to ask questions! :D

This is very angsty, and there is a lot of sex in this. I...don't know why I feel the need to explain this to you like it's a bad thing or whatever, but here I am. ::jazz hands::

The theme song of this fic is Lover, You Should've Come Over by Jeff Buckley. Internet, if there ever was a perfect song made, it is that one. The title is a line from it. I listened to it on repeat while writing this, and it really sets the tone for the fic.

The words aparellament, estimat, and ànima reparació all belong to a language known as Catalan. What they mean is explained in the fic as Jim learns them. Sorry, I don't want to give anything away before it's time!

I hope you all like this, as it's relatively short and actually like...not an AU or crossover. And again, Happy Valentine's Day! (Or Galentine's Day, if you're a disciple of Councilwoman Leslie Knope.)
