I am currently working on a Pike/McCoy fic that has been playing hide-and-go-seek for the past two months with me. I really really like it, but it's taking its time about flowing out of my hand. Which is par for the course, the Muse being the coy bastard He is.

But it looks like this one really will end up done. Every time I think it's not, I get another piece and it fits together well. It's very sexy (at least I think so), and the angst isn't as overwhelming as is usual in my fics. It's even got a little funny in it, imagine that!

What I really love is that if I manage to squeeze it out, it looks like it's part of a series. Now that is unusual for me - I don't think I've ever written any linked stories before.

Wish me luck! *squee*

Wrote this for the Kink Meme at st_xi_kink, then polished it up and posted it at kirk_mccoy. Posting it here for the record.

Extra points if you can spot the random sf reference.

So I guess it's back to the same damn-fool merry-go-round. I don't know. You'd think after gettin' put through the wringer by a tart like Olivia, I'd have learned my lesson. Kept away from teases; taken care not to get hurt. Keep your heart in a box, Mama used to say. That way nobody'll play with it. ( I should've listened to her. )
