remix: kahs-wan, sga, sheppard/mckay

[seperis]

Okay, so.

The remix I did was for sheafrotherdon's Traturian Thaw.

Remix title Kahs-Wan.

For the person who did the little jig in the comments--animated? I wondered where it came from originally! I got it from the books. Um, Star Trek The IDIC Epidemic by Jean Lorrah (?), I think, with the half-Klingons doing that in place of their Survival thingie. I have such a memory for completely useless information, but the first thing I thought after reading sheafrotherdon's story was, "Oh my God the aliens watch Star Trek too."

Which lets face it. Atlantis? The aliens totally watch Star Trek.

Um, usually, I'd post it here and all, but honestly, it's happy where it is and I owe sheafrotherdon an apology--by the time I got this back for editing, I was totally beyond able to deal, so I did a very fast and dirty spellcheck before posting. I'd planned to go back that weekend and do a polished version, but that totally did not even come close to happening. As soon as I can, I'll at least go through and do something cleaner than I have now, if not the fuller additions I'd originally planned.

Author Notes:

I just--liked this one. Unlike last year, where trinityofone's fic just magnetized me, this one made me warm and happy and all--pleased. It's sweet and warm and has that cool aliens-doing-weird-alien-things and there's h/c and Rodney in danger, but the pure emotion in it drew me in and I just couldn't imagine trying to touch any other story when this one took up my total attention. I hope I did it justice, and I hope you truly enjoyed it. Thank you for the privilege of being able to work on something that made me so happy when I was done. Not a lot of my fic does, but this one made me smile the entire time.

PS - aurora_84 - if I'd thought to make it a competition, you totally win. *g* That was a good guess.

God I love that book.

Hence why I fangirled you.

[seperis.livejournal.com]

That one and the one it sequeled, both of which are somewhre in my garage, where the doctor marries his Vulcan partner's daughter. Totally hit my every kink.

[trobadora]

The Vulcan Academy Murders? Is that the one? I adore it to pieces.

[amireal.livejournal.com]

Yes. That one! It came first I think. God. I may have to reread these now. *happy sigh*

[seperis.livejournal.com]

*facepalm* God, we are geeks.

[amireal.livejournal.com]

*looks shifty* So?

*clutches books to bosom*

[trobadora]

Yeah, the IDIC Epidemic book follows directly after it, timeline-wise, IIRC.

Where did I put my Star Trek novels? *goes searching*

[amireal.livejournal.com]

It's a good thing I spent 3 days organizing my Trek Books, all *koff*200orso*koff* of them.

[trobadora]

Mine are sadly unorganised, but there are at least a hundred of them too. :D

[seperis.livejournal.com]

GOD YES!

And Amanda in stasis and that secretaryish chick trying to kill her to get Sarek and the Vulcan Doctor guy's wife dying and then the daughter proposing and OH MY GOD I NEED IT NOW.

Hi, I'm geeking out hard. Why did she not write a third one? Happiness. So much happiness.

[amireal.livejournal.com]

LIFE IS CRUEL. CRUEL!!! WHY IS THERE NOT MORE CRACK LIKE THIS?? (Did you read Spock's World?)

[seperis.livejournal.com]

YES I LOVE DIANE DUANE. READ ALL HER AND AC CRISPIN adn DIANE? CAREY and JEAN LORRAH AND LIKE TWO OTHERS I ADORED OMG SO MUCH.

*sulks quietly* Wnat more now.

[amireal.livejournal.com]

YES! GOD SHE GAVE BONES AMNESIA. SOMEONE DID IT TO SPOCK TOO (MORE THAN ONCE)! WHO WAS THAT??

OR THAT TIME BONES WAS STUCK IN COMMAND BECAUSE KIRK WAS SNOTTY AND THEY WOULDN'T BREAK THE RULES!!

(I'd add some of Peter David's earlier works too Orangejuiceandwodka!)

[trobadora]

My favourite Amnesia!Spock was Barbara Hambly's "Ishmael". :-)

[thepouncer.livejournal.com]

Spock in the Old West! Spock in San Francisco! Mud!

[trobadora]

PUBLISHED CROSSOVERS OMG.

[sandyurbahns.livejournal.com]

I agree that's my favorite as well. I don't know how many times I've read that. I guess I was always a Star Trek and Here Comes The Brides geek.

[trobadora]

How awesome is it that they published a crossover! :-)

[thepouncer.livejournal.com]

I wanted to be Rihannsu so, so bad.

[thepouncer.livejournal.com]

WHAT ABOUT THE JANET KAGAN ONE WITH THE SENTIENT CATS, BARDIC TRADITIONS, AND PLAGUE?!?!?

WHERE CHEKOV GETS SICK AND THE REPLACEMENT DOCTOR HAS TO CURE HIM WITH HERBS AND A TUBE UP HIS NOSE?!?!?

[amireal.livejournal.com]

YES. GOD! SO TRUE! PREHENSILE TAILS FOR THE WIN! OR THE ONE WITH UHURA AND THE DIEING COMPOSER AND THE CRYSTAL TEARS!

I STILL FALL DOWN AND WEEP AT THE BBS IN SPOCK'S WORLD.

OHOH!! PETER KIRK MARRIED A KLINGON!

[thepouncer.livejournal.com]

GOING ON QUEST TO PROVE THEY WERE ADULTS!!! PEOPLE FALLING INTO THE RAGING RIVER AND LATER HUDDLING FOR WARMTH!!!

AND THE UHURA ONE HAD SEALS OR DOLPHINS OR SOMETHING SIMILARLY COOL!

MY ENEMY, MY ALLY FEATURED A DOCTOR WHO CAMEO!

[seperis.livejournal.com]

OH MY GOD IT DID NOT WHERE??????

ANSWER NOW BEFORE I HAVE HEART ATTACK TRYING TO DIG THROUGH GARAGE TO FIND BOOK NOW.

[thepouncer.livejournal.com]

THEY'RE IN THE REC ROOM, AND THE ONE PERSON IS TRYING TO TRANSFER OLD 2-D PROGRAMS TO 3-D HOLOGRAMS. THE TARDIS MATERIALIZES AND THE FOURTH DOCTOR WALKS OUT THE DOOR!!!

IT'S EARLY IN THE BOOK!!

[trobadora]

I REMEMBER THAT! OMG!

Where the hell did I put those books?!

[amireal.livejournal.com]

MY ENEMY, MY ALLY FEATURED A DOCTOR WHO CAMEO!

*GASPS* IT DID NOT! CAUTIONARY TALE: THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOUR THIS STUFF WHEN YOU'RE A SHELTERED 14 YEAR OLD.

GOD. REREADING IT ALL DAMNIT. ALL.

YES! QUESTS! AND IT WAS CUTE SEAL LIKE THINGS.

OHOHOH! PRIME DIRECTIVE! OH GOD.

[trobadora]

UHURA'S SONG OMG - another one of my favourites!

[ltlj.livejournal.com]

I loved the Janet Kagan Trek books! The sentient cats were awesome.

[trobadora]

OMG YES. I love that book so much - I must have read it a dozen times. There weren't many Star Trek novels I loved that much - maybe Killing Time. Or Ishmael. But this one is special.

[amireal.livejournal.com]

OH ISHMAEL.

How about Entropy Effect? Or god, that one that's like a barely disguised harlequinne novel with Spock and his FIRST LOVE WITH THE MIND SEX. YES. THERE WAS MIND SEX IN A PRO NOVEL.

[trobadora]

Hee! There were so many wacky things going on in those novels. Mind-bonding and love triangles and Mary Sues and everything! Man, I love Star Trek.

[amireal.livejournal.com]

IDIC Epidemic and Vulcan Academy Murders, only VAM was first. But yes. God yes. And it tied into canon by introing their canon Vulcan expert!

ALL THE BUTTONS I HAVE.

[thepouncer.livejournal.com]

My remaining ST novels are in a box under the guest room bed. I've winnowed them down over the years, but there are some that I will never get rid of.

I loved the one where the female Starfleet officer was captured by the Klingons and taken as bed partner by the Captain. The memory of this makes some of my fanfic preferences make MUCH MORE SENSE than they otherwise would have.

[amireal.livejournal.com]

OMG WHICH ONE WAS THIS?? *pries hands off capslock*

Ohoh! The two about Piper and her friends??

[thepouncer.livejournal.com]

I THINK THE FINAL REFLECTION (http://www.amazon.com/Final-Reflection-Star-Trek-No/dp/0671038532/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/103-4710764-8237402?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1177885689&sr=1-1)???

I COULD BE WRONG.

[amireal.livejournal.com]

THERE ARE SOME DAYS I AM SO GLAD I HAVE THE FIRST 70 IN SEQUENCE AND FIRST 20 SPECIAL HARDCOVERS ALL ON MY SHELF.

[seperis.livejournal.com]

*BLINKS*

OH MY GOD HOW DID I MISS THAT? WHICH ONE WAS IT?

[thepouncer.livejournal.com]

OR DWELLERS IN THE CRUCIBLE, WHERE THE HUMAN AND VULCAN WOMAN GET CAPTURED AND IMPRISONED AND I THINK THERE MIGHT HAVE BEEN PON FARR BEHIND BARS?!?!?

[amireal.livejournal.com]

GOD YES. THE THINGS I MISSED ON MY FIRST READS!

OR OR-- VULCAN! ONE OF THE UNUMBERED AND SO MUCH OF A MARY SUE IT HURTS!

[trobadora]

Btw, the ep in the animated series was the one with the alternate universe where Kirk's first officer was an Andorian and Spock had died as a child. Why can't I remember what it was called?!

[sheafrotherdon.livejournal.com]

No apologies! I adored this story - I was stalking the remix community, waiting for the remix to get posted, and when it appeared I read it three times in one morning. It made me gleefully happy - especially John telling Rodney he was going to find him, oh, and that wonderful exchange where John says who'll fall apart without Rodney and Rodney thinks about not wanting John to be the one who'll find his body. my heart!

I just reread it, and it makes me as gleeful now as it did the first time - so thank you all over again! ♥

[aurora]

Yay!

It was an amazing story.

[devin-chain.livejournal.com]

How are you feeling? I've worried about you the past few days. *clings*

Too many people I know have lung problems at the moment. I've had daughter on the vaporizer and an inhaler since Friday morning, and I just learned my father has emphysema. Enough with the lung ailments, all of you. I'm perfectly capable of fretting indefinitely, but I'd rather not. *pouts*

But seriously -- are you feeling any better? The posting makes me hopeful, but I won't presume.

[seperis.livejournal.com]

honestly, yes, much better. i'm mostly freaked out at this point, since even though it is better, they dont' know what it is, so they don't know what triggers it, and honestly, up until near the end, when the fever started, I really couldn't tell the difference between this and an allergy attack.

But atm, I'm fine, just tired. *hugs* Thanks for asking, sweetie.

[seperis.livejournal.com]

Freaking *cut me off* *grumbles at LJ*

Continuing.

What happened with your daughter? Inhaler and a vaporizer? *blinking*

[devin-chain.livejournal.com]

Sounds similar to what happened to you. Sudden, dramatic fever and a cough I recognized as bronchitis verging on pneumonia. I've heard this one from her before, and it definitely coincides with allergies. The doctor confirmed a wheeze and prescribed the inhaler. On my end, I know the vaporizer has always helped -- especially when I use Vics Vaposteam with it.

She's much better today, thank goodness.

I hope you don't have to go back to work tomorrow. *worries*
