Title: May Your Days Be Merry (And Bright)
Series: Star Trek AOS (yes, it's true. Water Park is making a comeback!)
Rating: NC-17
Pairings: Jim/Bones, Spock/Uhura, Scotty/Chekov, Sulu/Chapel
Summary: The winter holidays on the second year of their voyage.
Notes: THIS IS NOT A CHRISTMAS FIC.
Christmas is IN this fic, but it is not solely a Christmas fic. It is a Winter Holidays fic for the eight main characters of the Water Park ‘verse.
To break it down:
Spock/Uhura: Thanksgiving
Scotty/Chekov: Chanukah
Kirk/Bones: Christmas
Sulu/Chapel: New Year
The yam recipe is real. I made up the shit about Amanda being from Madison, as a special treat for someone. (<3![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
maypirate) The Vulcan food comes from Memory Beta because the hell if I know anything Vulcans eat besides the plomeek soup that got mentioned that one time in TOS. For all I know, they graze like antelope*.
*Disclaimer: I don’t in fact think Vulcans graze like antelope. I’m being colorful. No hate mail about how I think Vulcans are animals. I don’t. It’s a joke. :)
The prayers said during Chanukah come from Wikipedia, ditto the information about how to play dreidel and the foods. I admit I’ve done way more Passover things than Chanukah. I did have the fic beta’ed for authenticity, thank youmaypirate. She said Pavel’s more thorough than she is, and I was afraid I hadn’t been thorough enough so I took that as a complement.
…She beta’ed the whole thing, not just Chanukah. Sorry, that made it sound like she only did the one scene.
Likewise, the postcard greetings and specifics about the Japanese New Year celebrations come from Wikipedia as well, and have also been checked for authenticity.maypirate lived there, so I think she knows what she’s talking about.
Shout out tokel_1970 for the mention of getting salmonella from eggnog! Also, 2261 is in fact the year of the ox. Metal ox. Google it, I did, and it totally came up. Bless the Chinese for doing things 3000 years at a time.
I’m sorry it took me so long to write more in this ‘verse, but I wanted Jim and Bones to be married in this story, and then I wanted to get Phoenix done before this year was up. I hope you all enjoy this! Oh also...you can totally read this without having read anything else in Water Park! So please don't let the fact that it's part of a bigger universe stop you.
