Title: Shipping Wars
Fandom: TOS RPF
Characters: Shatner/Nimoy, DeForest Kelley
Rating: PG-13 (for four f words!)
Words: 4,211
Warnings: Shatner being ridiculous. That is basically all this is.
Summary: From this ancient prompt: Shatnoy, with someone on the cast (awesome if it were De, but anyone is fair game!) successfully playing gay enabler. Presumably in an effort to resolve the TOTALLY OBVIOUS crushing that is going on all over the place.
Notes: This bit of absurd fluff was written for the above but most especially also for starcrossedgirl, whose awesomeness and support are eternally appreciated.

Title: Balance
Fandom: Star Trek: TOS
Characters/Pairing: Kirk with Kirk/Ruth, Kirk/Gary, Kirk/Ruth/Gary
Rating: R
Words: ~4,000
Summary: Many people had gone into making Jim what he was.
Notes: I wrote this, initially, as backstory for a roleplay I'm active in. As such it was an exercise in exploring the reasons behind choices my Kirk was making and attitudes he had developed towards relationships--and it may not reflect attitudes and choices (or endings) I'd have made otherwise. But I'm posting it because it might be of more general interest outside that context.



He was young for an Academy instructor, but in those days he was older than his years anyway. He told himself he was taking responsibility, but in reality, "responsibility" was code for filling time and keeping to himself.

Gary Mitchell was making that difficult.

"See ya, Jim."

"Mitchell," Jim said warningly.

"Gary," Mitchell returned in the same tone.

( 'Lieutenant Kirk,' Jim corrected, )
