I'm getting both confused and annoyed by the people on the ST XI kink memes who think that the way you write pairings (ie Kirk/Spock) somehow indicates that, if there's sex in the story, the second person listed is the one who's being penetrated.
( This is stupid. )

The late-night, ate too many carbs at lunch and slept 'till 8PM edition! (On that note, may I suggest, if ever you find yourself at the Drake Hotel in Toronto for brunch on a Sunday, ordering the southern-fried chicken and waffles, with creme fraiche and sour cherries? Dear god in heaven, it was good. And coma-inducing.)

So, here's the thing - there is a lot of Star Trek fanfiction online right now! It is kind of overwhelming! Every night, when I double-check my delicious network bookmarks, there are almost a thousand new links.
It's like being at Starbucks and being overwhelmed with choices. It means I don't bookmark enough, because I am too busy reading everything and feeling like I am falling woefully behind.
So my recommendations are light on the ground this week, but this does not mean that there aren't five million new STXI fics to read. If you are feeling the opposite of what I am feeling -- that is, if you aren't getting enough -- go check the delicious feeds forthe Star Trek XI Kink Meme, and the Trek RPF Kink Meme. The mods for those lj comms have been using Delicious to bookmark the filled prompts, which is both smart and efficient... and contributing significantly to my sense of being overwhelmed. But in a good way! I am overwhelmed by awesome!

Anyway, I have decided to try something new with this week's fiction recommendations. I am grouping things by theme! because all of a sudden there's been this slew of kind of fantastic stories with het pairings where Bones is all about, um, taking care of the ladies, and I adore them all. And other unexpected themes have cropped up, too, in my reading of millions of stories.
---
First theme is ( Stories in Which Bones Likes The Ladies )
---
Second theme is ( things which are hilarious )
---
Third and last theme is ( sometimes I like some angst in my sandwich! )

Coming up: picspam. Because my google reader bookmarks are now five zillion "oooo, Chris Pine is pretty" pictures, and they need to go somewhere else.
