A/N: Thanks to elanorofcastile for not only the quick beta but the first letter. I had all these grandiose plans of references and letters and graphics. Unfortunately, time conspired against me and there are no fancy graphics but there are plenty of art references and a few letters.

Pretentious Summary: In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life. It goes on. ~Robert Frost.
Disclaimer: No copyright infringement intended; fair use only. Not created for profit..
A/N: Written for the reel_startrek challenge with the prompt of P.S. I Love You. Title is shamelessly stolen from the episode that inspired this fic. At one point, I shamelessly steal a section of I Sing The Body Electric by Walt Whitman. It will be very obvious and is attributed. Many many many thanks to my betas: djin7, drusillas_rain and reddwarfer. Super loads of thanks also to elanorofcastile for not only cheering me on but for doing the graphics that you see throughout the fic.

Oh man. happy_trekmas is one awesome fest. If you're not reading it, I'm very disappointed in you. My gift fic was posted and it is the best fic I've ever read in Star Trek.

Gossip, Guidance and Guile (Kirk/McCoy, Rated: NC-17). Srsly just so fucking good. I left a ridiculously fangirling comment and rather made an arse out of myself but, dude. SO GOOD. It adhered to every part of my request and then gave me more. You can't ask for more than that! But the best part is that I did get more than that. I got banter and snark and friendship and funny and awesome relationships and brilliant characterizations and so much. I have no idea how the author fit so much awesome in this fic but they did. So you should really head over there and check it out.

I'm so very glad and honored to have received this.

Please go read and then let the author know how you've enjoyed their work.

Series Title: I Knead You (A Bakery AU)
Chapter Title: Boxes, Dora & Accounting
Authors: wook77 and elanorofcastile
Pairings: Focus on Kirk/McCoy and contains side pairings of Spock/Uhura, Scotty/Gaila and Chekov/Sulu. Also, lots of Joanna McCoy
Rating: Still PG
WordCount: ~2400
Summary: Bones isn't a morning person. Joanna is far too inquisitive for her own good. Jim pipes Dora. Gaila and Scotty snipe. Spock and Uhura flirt in Accountant-ese. It's just another day at Chez Enterpríse.
Author's Note: Beta'd by djin7 and lauriegilbert. Things are starting to come together.

I've a rec that can't wait for my recs post - If I or She Should Chance to Be by andrealyn just about takes my breath away. It's long (about 58k) and plotty and brilliant. It's got a few warnings, which you can see here with accompanying header information. Give yourself plenty of time to read this and you won't be sorry.

I left a rather babbling comment that basically consisted of *squee* and shameless fangirling. Perhaps when I'm less stunned about how awesome that fic is, I'll be able to give better feedback.

Let the author know how much you enjoy it, yeah?

Title: Lead Me Not Into Temptation
Author: wook77
Fandom: Star Trek XI
Pairing: James Kirk/Leonard McCoy
Rating: NC-17
Wordcount: ~5800
Warnings: consensual underaged sexual encounter
Summary: Jim's a tactical genius, even at 13. Leonard doesn't stand a chance when his seduction is the final result of Jim's plan.
A/N: I'm so going to the special hell for this one. Inspired by this set of photos of Karl Urban in a dorky sexy sweater vest and elanorofcastile's request for professor!Bones and student!Jim. IDEK, people. Further warning: Jim is 13, Bones is 19. If I could make that sparkly and blinking (and not annoy people), I would. Seriously, be aware, consensual underaged sexual encounter. Also written for the prompts of "orgasm control/denial" for my Kink Bingo card and "coming of age" for my Cliche Bingo card. I've already booked my seat in the handbasket to the speshul hell.
