a lost corner

Happy International Day of Femslash! Unfortunately, I didn't finish the two other f/f fics I was working on before today, so I'm posting a cleaned-up (and retitled, augh titles) version of a fic I wrote for Ladyfest before I zoom out the door.

Title: Find the Words (originally called "maybe I could've been something you'd be good at")
Fandom: Star Trek XI
Characters/Pairings: Uhura/Gaila, Spock/Uhura
Word Count: ~2000
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: references to slavery, sexual content, character death
Summary: for kitausu's prompt "Uhura/Gaila, I'm not unfaithful but I'll stray/When I get a little scared". Nyota Uhura, who knows 83% of official Federation languages, struggles to define her relationship with her roommate.

( repeat, repeat the I know words we both said )

Title: And They Called It Puppy Love
Fandom: Star Trek-- TOS in my mind, but eh, it could be XI
Characters/Pairing(s): Chekov/Sulu
Word Count: 2226
Rating: PG
Summary: Somewhere out there were others like her, but for now she was in the care of a strange animal with a flimsy yellow shell who called himself a "sulu". (Written for prompt #4 at st_respect : "In the Doghouse Again")
Author’s Note: Much love to moonlitelupines for beta-reading this and not laughing too hard at my technology fail. Thanks also to greenteaduck and ranka_lee for being my cheerleaders when I told them I wanted to write about unicorn dogs. I might have gone a very different route without your enthusiasm, guys ♥

Cut-text from "The Puppy Song" by Harry Nilsson.

This actually goes a bit over the word limit because it isn’t exactly what I submitted, because I am incredibly nitpicky and couldn’t post this until I’d made a few little changes.

( we'd stay away from crowds and signs that said 'no dogs allowed' )

Title: Grounded
Fandom: Star Trek
Characters/Pairing(s): Chekov/Sulu, and Demora
Rating: G
Word Count: 1000
Summary: Everyone has to leave the nest at some point. (Written for prompt #2 at
st_respect: "Ain't No Sunshine When She's Gone")
Author's Notes: I should probably mention that all my Russian comes from online translators, and all my Spanish comes from my memories of grades ten and eleven.
Much love to the delightful ranka_lee and greenteaduck for beta-reading this! ♥
And she won't read this, but I feel like I should give a shout-out to my mother, who not only provided insight into parenthood when I felt like I wasn't qualified to write this, but who inadvertently alerted me to the existence of slash when I was just a wee thing.

( and this house just ain't no home anytime she goes away )

So over at chulu, there was a prompt for a fanmix made from songs from musicals. Apparently my knowledge of showtunes is somewhat lacking, so my first thought was "OMG DISNEY SONGS."

I ended up using songs from my favourite kids' movies. In other words, it's pretty cracktastic.
