For the writing meme: POV, please
OMG, I totally didn’t realize you had sent this! ::facepalm:: Umm…well, I’m PLANNING to write a fic in one of my series with a ship for @posterofamyth (James Kirk/Rose Hathaway) as my next project, so let me grab one of the little Kiss Meme fic snippets and I’ll post the original and the rewrite.
ORIGINAL
“That’s such corny old-fashioned shit!” she said, shaking her head
He shook his head, grinning as he raised an eyebrow. “You mean to tell me you wouldn’t be flattered if some guy kissed the back of your hand?” he asked.
“Maybe,” she said with a shrug. “Depends on the guy, I guess.” He didn’t even think about it. He stood up, reached over and grabbed her hand, caressing it gently, and brought it up to his lips before kissing it. She looked at him for a moment with wide eyes, and then she cracked up. “God, you really are Prince Charming.”
“Hey, it’s a sign of respect and admiration!” he said with a grin.
“So you respect me?” she asked.
“Yeah,” he said, nodding. “Course I do.”
“Even when I kick your ass?”
He nodded. “Even so.”
“Good.” She gave him a grin. “Time to go kick your ass again.”
REWRITE
They were friends.
She didn’t give two shits about what everyone else in Lawrence thought of him; he was a flirt, yeah, but so was she. But there was a time and a place for it, and there was a way he’d flirt where you’d know where you stood with him, whether he was just being flirty to be flirty or whether he was trying to get in your pants. And she always fell on the “flirty to be flirty” side of things, which was good, because…well, Dimitri.
But she wasn’t about to ask Jim to stop being such a charming, albeit corny (oh so corny) guy and not flirt with her. Just as long as he knew where they stood. He could be the good kind of Prince Charming all he wanted, but they were just friends.
Take the conversation tonight, as they were taking a break at the gym and sitting close, water bottles in hand and just talking. He was going on about typical corny Prince Charmingy-stuff. Hand kissing. Who in the hell wants their hand kissed?
“That’s such corny old-fashioned shit!” she said, shaking her head and waving her hand at him. Almost like a challenge.
“You mean to tell me you wouldn’t be flattered if some guy kissed the back of your hand?” he asked, and she could see a gleam. She knew that gleam. It meant challenge accepted.
Well, two could play this game. He was quick; she was quicker.
“Maybe,” she said with a shrug. “Depends on the guy, I guess.” And she went to pull her hand back but for once the farmboy from Iowa surprised her with a burst of speed, grabbing her hand and planting a very gentle kiss above her knuckles. She stared at him with wide eyes, not comprehending things except HOLY SHIT, JAMES KIRK WAS KISSING HER HAND.
Smooth. And…weird. But in a good way?
Oh, so good.
And then it hit her:
Shit.
She could seriously fall for this guy.

“What was love, really? Flowers, chocolate, and poetry? Or was it something else? Was it being able to finish someone’s jokes? Was it having absolute faith that someone was there at your back? Was it knowing someone so well that they instantly understood why you did the things you did—and shared those same beliefs?”
