Currently Writing: One (1) Daily Shoulder Pat
Wherein the crew of the Sh'Raan throw a completely normal party for their young guests.
If you’re new here, have a summary of this 108,000 word fic:
Shenanigans ensue when one middle finger to the Academy too many gets Starfleet Cadet James T. Kirk booted off planet for a summer internship aboard the V.S.S. Sh'Raan.
He's hiding a major secret from the oh so earnest and helpful Vulcans, but the longer he's on the ship, the more Jim starts to wonder if they're keeping secrets from him, too.
Excerpt:
Captain Spisee handed Jim a heavy sheet of rich, cream paper embossed with gold dusted Vulcan calligraphy bearing the ship’s name. It was a bit cheap by the standards of Vulcan stationary aesthetics, but shipboard life meant some sacrifices. In the most elegant handwriting he’d ever had the privilege to lay eyes on, it read:
Human Enrichment and Optimal Health Program:
One (1) Daily Shoulder Pat (more provided upon request)
Seventy (70) Seconds of Hug Time Per Week (divided between crew members as you deem necessary)
Three (3) Discrete Instances of Daily Praise
Three (3) Structured Entertainments per week
Minimum of One (1) Social Companion per meal (more available upon request)
Jim looked up from the Human Enrichment And Optimal Health Program and into Captain Spisee’s luminous brown eyes. There was no hint of mockery or malice there. He was an earnest scientist, possessing both cheekbones so sharp you could cut glass with them and the quadrant’s most excellent taste in guest furniture. He’d been given a unique task, and on Surak’s Katric Ark, he performed it with the same thoroughly Vulcan scientific intensity he would give the discovery of a new species of cave moss.
“We would appreciate detailed weekly feedback on the efficacy of our Human integration efforts,” said Captain Spisee.
“You are not required to reciprocate the Daily Praise,” said Captain Spisee. Despite his words, Jim could swear one corner of his mouth twitched upwards two entire millimeters.

Since some of you have kindly asked, here's a link to my Ko-Fi if you'd like to buy me a coffee. Or a tooth.
Hello! Do you sell your art on cards anywhere? We're showing The Voyage Home at our wedding & I would love to buy cards with your Kirk & Spock art on them to use as thank-yous.
NOOOOOO JOKE I swear your timing is PERFECT! (kinda scary how good omg). I just received a batch of these postcards that I am getting ready to put on my ko-fi shop. I can hit you up in a private message so I can offer you a deal if you need a "bulk order"!
ALSOOOO I cannot tell you how giddy your message made me, omg. Your wedding sounds AWESOME.
And if anyone else is interested, I will have a post for this soon, too!!!
