When I was but a babe in arms in LJ terms (back in 2006), my obsession with hands was legendary rather more obvious. My header was a collage of pictures of celeb's hands, half my icons were hands, and almost all my sex scenes had a focus on hands and tactile sensation. Then I moved on to other fandoms, fic tropes, and journal looks, but I still definitely have a thing about hands.

All of which is a preface to saying that this fic has some of the best sex scenes ever if hands are your thing. Love is Strange by garryowen over at dreamwidth is a Star Trek mash-up with Dirty Dancing. Or a Dirty Dancing redux if you prefer. Whatever you want to call it, I loved it. Kirk/Spock, with all the longing and dancing and discovery from the movie, but all the character and brilliance of the nuTrek cast. And finger-touching that made me melt into a puddle of goo.

even if Trek isn't your big thing, if you have seen the movie or know anything about the characters and have any fondness at all for Dirty Dancing I urge you to read this story. But expect to sit a while. it's 45k words.

Also, thank you to Cathy for my santa cthulu, and to pkoceres for my card! *is grinning lots*

And last, but most assuredly not least, happy birthday to longleggedgit and meret! ♥

to cormallen and aelfsiden! I hope that you both have been having fun today and that you have your wishes come true in the coming year.

I did not manage to get myself organized for birthdays last weekend. I hope that each of you had wonderful days, and that the coming year brings you both joy and new adventures.

I would like to wish the happiest of birthdays to ciaan and angstpuppy. I hope that you have both had funtimes and awesomeness, and that your upcoming years are filled with happiness.

Just in the nick of time...



I hope that your year brings you everything you desire ♥♥

I hope that you've been having a wonderful day, honey, and that this year brings you wonderful things.

I thought a cake with twin laptops was appropriate (if not the most delicious looking cake ever) *g*

I hope that your birthday and your year are filled with fun and joy and other lovely things. You bring awesomeness to my life and deserve the same in return. ♥♥♥♥♥

First, I would like to wish a very happy birthday to sinoftheday! May this year be filled with things that bring you joy.




And everyone should have hugs. So go and play!
