Nightmare (Kirk/McCoy, PG-13)

Mar 17, 2011 22:23

No excuses, just slightly cracky Flash!fic for the St. Patrick's weekend " Drinks!" challenge going on at jim_and_bones. A Nightmare is apparently a cocktail made with Gin, Madeira, cherry Brandy, and orange juice, which has nothing to do with the story but does in fact sound like a nightmare.

( It's a pretty common dream, after all )

Poor Jim! Talk about a frighteningly realistic dream. And Bones taking pity on him and offering him that sympathy is wonderful.

I imagine the dream life of anyone with that much responsibility is a pretty scary place. Even TOS!Kirk was known to freak out on occasion while WIDE AWAKE.

Clever idea very nicely realized. Poor Jim!

Thank so much! Here's hoping I don't curse myself with having the same dream.

Brilliant! *covers fic in stars & glitter* Love Jim's lack of modesty, and Bones's snuggliness :-)

Ooh, is that Gorgeous Sleeping Karl? He's delish, even with an apparent inexplicable nosebleed. (And thank you kindly!)

This was great!I loved how we became convinced it was a dream with the pinch and then the seamless way you had him wake up. And philosophical too, yay!

Philosophy FTW! So glad you and sleepy!Karl liked it.

Three steps onto the Bridge, halfway to his chair, Jim feels a draft where none is supposed to be and realizes he’s naked.

I thought this was supposed to be a nightmare? Sounds like Jim Kirk's Fun Dream #22.

b) pretend that nothing’s wrong. B is the obvious choice, one that allows for the likelihood that this is some unannounced psychological stress test or the result of a top-secret clothes-dissolving beam

*stuffs fist against mouth so as not to giggle aloud*

“Jim, what’s this about--sweet, fancy Jesus, why are you buck naked on the Bridge, man?”

*nearly falls off chair*

“You’ll do fine. You always do. The situation hasn’t been built that you can’t handle.”

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW.

I am filled with giggles and delight. :)

You give this little nothing too much credit, but I'm glad it entertained you, and yes, I imagine there's nothing that Jim wouldn't think would be better when done naked (deep sea fishing maybe? Lava hiking? Printing press operation?
