Someday

by J. Rosemary Moss

Genre: Slash Fan Fiction (Star Trek, Spock-McCoy)

Rating: PG-13

Summary: In this drabble, Kirk bemoans all the squabbling he has to put up with between his first officer and his chief medical officer…

~

They’re bickering again. God, I’d love to tan their hides—but, alas, this isn’t an 18th century frigate. Starfleet won’t give a captain that kind of authority. So I roll my eyes instead and shake my head at the pair of them.

Someday they’ll figure out that they fight like an old married couple. Someday they’ll hear the affection behind all the insults. Someday Bones will admit that he likes those pointed ears. And someday Spock will own that he needs the good doctor to challenge his logic.

And someday they’ll realize that they were made for each other.

Someday.

I had the song "The Way You Look Tonight" playing in my head the minute I read the title. It was a perfect backdrop for the story.

Another great read.

Peac!

Thanks AQ & Julianna!

AQ ~ I love writing drabbles...you can jot them down during your spare time at work without being too obvious about the fact that you're not working, lol. Thanks again!

Julianna ~ Oooh! That is a good background song! (There's a few good versions of that song, aren't there? I know Sinatra and Rod Steward both sang it; I'll bet some others too. And they all start with the word 'someday'--yay!)

Thank you--I'm glad you enjoyed this =)

This was so cute! I love the way Kirk is thinking, 'Oh, they SO want each other!" and is slightly annoyed at their bickering.

If you like drabbles, you might like this little challenge called the "221b Challenge":

Write a ficlet that's exactly 221 words long, with the final word starting with "b".

You can see my two attempts over at fanfiction.net:

Half of a Whole, & The Master's Limits.

Oh, and thank you so much again for reviewing Deadly Challenge, I really appreciate it!

Thanks Igiveup!

Oooh...I like the idea of the 221B challenge. I'll check yours out and see if I can come up with one of my own. (A, um, slashy one, lol.)

It was my pleasure to review A Deadly Challenge--I greatly enjoyed it!

The Master's Limits can sorta be read as slash. Then again it could also just be friendship. You read it and tell me what you think. XD

P.S. Half of a Whole is pretty depressing, just to warn you.

Igiveup,

I just read both stories on FanFiction.net--brilliant, both of them! I left you detailed reviews on each.

And, yeah--I had my slash glasses on! You were right: they work equally well as slash or gen.
