Star Trek/BSG - Racetrack, Skulls - no warnings trovia January 3 2011, 00:37:29 UTC
*I* can get a crossover and a (new) hobby into 100 words! Also I was really inspired by my new icon. ;)

---

It started with holodecks.

Actually, it started with Racetrack and Skulls finding Earth. Because if anybody would.

Naturally, they were beamed onto a Starfleet ship before they could as much as panic. Numerous interrogations later, they found themselves free to walk the ship. Overwhelmed, they found the bar, booze calling out to them. Except.

Doom came with one friendly, “No, we don’t have ethanol or brothels. We have holodecks.”

One explanation and one thorough personal inspection later, Skulls said, “Come on. We’ve gotta jump back to the Fleet.”

It ended with Racetrack saying, “Who?” in a daze, without turning around.

LOL. Go Racetrack!

Actually, it started with Racetrack and Skulls finding Earth. Because if anybody would.

THIS IS TOTALLY TRUE.

Doom came with one friendly, “No, we don’t have ethanol or brothels. We have holodecks.”

I can totally picture how their faces fell when they heard this. :D

Also, your icon is so much win, and I don't even know for sure who those two are. Is that O'Brien and Bashir??? Are they in a teepee? A Zeppelin? WTF?

The ST universe would seem so incredibly boring on first sight. Of course on DS9, they'd find Quark's who's got both the ethanol and the porny holo programs, and all would be well.

That's O'Brien and Bashir in the holodeck, but I've got no idea what they were playing. I think WWI pilots maybe?

OMG. Racetrack & Skulls find DS9!!! I was such an O'Brien-Bashir friendship fangirl. They had one of the best friendships in all of Trek'verse.

It was always Galley Three. Over two months, the unknown perpetrator had left gingerbread, chocolate chip cookies, three batches of cupcakes, a three tier chocolate cake, and a batch of pecan sweet rolls. It wasn’t something to set guards over, but it was curious. Adama had noted a peculiar pattern.

“Madame President, I didn’t know you cooked.”

Laura jumped and gave him a slightly guilty look. “I don’t cook. I bake. If it doesn’t have sugar in it, I’ve no idea how to make it. What gave me away?”

“It’s always the night before your doloxen treatments.”

“Baking relaxes me.”

Oh! That took me by surprise! I was giggling until the last line and it totally suckerpunched me.

Great job! Glad you came out to play. :)

Thanks! I really don't see Roslin as a cook, but I can see her baking to get rid of nervous energy. I see this as happening sometime after Kobol when Adama and Roslin are starting to become friends.

Hee! This is both hilarious and cute. The last two lines transform it into something you can totally understand when before that it was just cracky.

The laptop was contraband. Louis had removed the wireless card, but Adama would have conniptions over it even existing. Louis didn’t care. There was little enough left for them to enjoy. He was keeping this.

Louis sat back in the rack, Felix between his legs, back resting against his chest. He closed the curtains shutting out reality. Louis hugged Felix closer and clicked ‘play’.

They fled into movies with wizards, warriors, unicorns, swords, and magic; where heroes always won; good always prevailed. For two hours each night, they lived in worlds where hope still existed; worlds never touched by Cylons.

Aw! Good for Hoshi to have a spine and keep the laptop.

Thanks! It's nice to write him with a spine and doing something Adama wouldn't approve of.

This is SO what they'd do on their off time if they had the opportunity. They're such geeks. ;) But really, a world untouched by Cylons, where good always wins out, must have been appealing to anyone in that Fleet. I bet even Tom Zarek would be a secret fan. :D

This was great.

Bundles of embroidery floss, carefully untwisted from six strands and rewound on plastic skeins in two strand batches lined the top tray of the box. A small tube held tapestry needles of various sizes. Lifting the tray revealed a layer of hoops, patterns, and fabric.

Skulls picked up his current project. After a careful count, he resumed stitching the dark green leaves. He switched to brown for the branches, then a variety of pinks, reds, and yellow for the blossoms frequently checking his pattern.

“Skulls!” Racetrack peered in. “Oh, cool.”

“It was supposed to be your birthday present,” he complained.

AWWWWW....

I don't know what I think is sweeter - that Skulls was making it for her birthday or that Racetrack thought such a present would be so cool. :)

A nice hobby for Skulls. Great drabble.

Re: Skulls, no warnings lorrainemarker January 3 2011, 14:11:25 UTC
Thank you. I like both ideas that Skulls would make Racetrack a counted cross stitch tapestry for her birthday and that Racetrack would totally think it was cool.

Secret hobby indeed. I never would have thought of embroidery *lols*

Love that racetrack thinks it's cool.

Tom never anticipated having sex with Gaeta. If he’d thought about it all, he expected Gaeta to end up with Baltar and maybe for him to find a redheaded substitute for Laura Roslin. Destiny zigged when it should have zagged and he found himself with a post-coital Gaeta.

“What do you like to do when you’re not remaking the world?”

A curious, post-coital Gaeta.

“You mean besides this.” He stroked his hand along a bare hip.

“Yes, I mean besides sex.”

“Hmm, I used to like poetry.”

“Poetry?”

“‘When you are old and gray and full of sleep…’” he started.

This is cute. And I could see a side of Zarek that would like poetry.

Thanks, I can see Zarek enjoying poetry. He had to do something beside read and write political treatises during 20 years in jail.

Re: Zarek, PG-13 for post-coital conversation millari January 4 2011, 04:15:46 UTC
Yes, that, AND he has a flair for the dramatic that speaks of a love of poetry.
