AO3 Link | Memories of Family (100 words) by Merfilly
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: Miles O'Brien, Keiko O'Brien, Kira Nerys
Additional Tags: Drabble
Summary:

Miles walks in on a domestic moment






Nerys was slow-dancing to the music with Molly, while Keiko held Kirayoshi and rocked in time. The scene etched itself into Miles' heart as he came in. The moments like this were all too-soon coming to an end as his transfer to Earth was in the works.

At least Molly should keep solid memories of her other-mother, as they referred to Nerys. Video calls would help strengthen ties, he knew, but losing her as a part of their family was the hardest part for he and Keiko both.

Such sad musings were not for now. Kissing his family hello was.

I planned for the next part in this series to be the Max Lord spotlight in Justice League International #24, but that’ll come early next week.

Warning for some discussion of age-inappropriate relationships and creators with tainted histories.

DC’s Secret Origins series did all JLI-themed origin stories for three issues, after doing the Justice Society and the original Justice League of America. Each issue had three stories: this one includes Mister Miracle and Oberon, Fire/Green Flame, and Ice/Icemaiden. No, Fire shouldn't be able to fly on that cover; just go with it. YES, ice-bridges are more Iceman's thing, JUST GO WITH IT.

Mister Miracle and Oberon’s story is “Escapism” by Mike Carlin and Don Heck. It’s a split-page compare-and-contrast exercise.

You see, Mister Miracle is...TALL, and… )

...but not that one. No, this is a backup story from Strange Tales #75, published in 1960, two years before the much more successful Hulk.

AO3 Link | Following the Fortunes of War: Chapter 4 (100 words) by Merfilly
Chapters: 6/6
Fandom: TOS - Dreadnought! - Diane Carey, TOS - Battlestations! - Diane Carey
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Piper/Sarda
Characters: Piper, Sarda, Judd "Scanner" Sandage, Merete AndrusTaurus
Additional Tags: Friendship, Slice of Life, POV First Person
Summary:

Various stories, following the friends from their novel adventures






Even I have my limits on 'winging it'. Scanner had been inventive, but we still had deteriorating dilithium crystals and were in, to use a Terran saying, B.F.E. near Gorn space.

I didn't lose my temper, something Sarda reassured me across our bond was for the best. I left the bridge, went down to our poor engineer, found Dyson had beat me there.

"Tell me what to do; Sarda has the conn."

"Aye aye captain," Skellus said, giving me tools and directions.

It was going to mean minimal power, and Scanner had saved us, but we'd get back to base.

Well, Illyana has had a couple, Sam and Berto were apparently due to get one in the Krakoan era but it got shelved, and Doug has had his own "upgrade" but now it's someone who has definitely earned one.

Yup, Dani Moonstar is getting a solo miniseries!

Today's word is brought to you by the shipping and transporting industry!  Because nothing says, "Happy Holidays" like the memory of dozens of shipping containers tipping into the harbor.

Stevedore:
  1. (noun)  One who works at or is responsible for loading and unloading ships in port
  2. (verb)  To handle (to load or unload) cargo as a stevedore
Per our friends at Merriam-Webster, "stevedore" came to English from the Spanish "estibador" which came from "estibar" meaning "to pack".  The first known use of "stevedore" in English was in 1788.

In the comments to these weekly posts (and only these posts), it's your chance to go as off topic as you like.

Talk about non-comics stuff, thread derail, and just generally chat among yourselves.

The intent of these posts is to chat and have some fun and, sure, vent a little as required. Reasoned debate is fine, as always, but if you have to ask if something is going over the line, think carefully before posting please.

Normal board rules about conduct and behaviour still apply, of course.

It's been suggested that, if discussing spoilers for recent media events, it might be advisable to consider using the rot13 method to prevent other members seeing spoilers in passing.

The world situation is the world situation. If you're following the news, you know it as much as I do, if you're not, then there are better sources than scans_daily. But please, no doomscrolling, for your own sake.

Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate it.

The US presented a new "peace plan" for the Russian invasion of Ukraine, but it appears that things got confused somewhere along the way and they presented Vladimir Putin's Christmas wish list instead.

Trump and New York Mayor elect Zohran Mamdani had a bizarrely cordial meeting last week, which perhaps shows that flattery DOES get you everything.

Six US Lawmakers who are also veterans of various military and security services released a video reminding folks that "Following orders which are unlawful is a very bad idea", which apparently was seen as such a controversial move that at least one of the six is now being investigated by the Pentagon. Presumably for "Remembering the lessons of the Nuremberg trials" or something.

The website-formerly-known-as-Twitter added a new feature last week, which allowed you to see what country an account was created in, and hilarity ensued as any number of pro-Trump accounts claiming to be proudly American turned out to be not remotely American at all. The new feature has now apparently been turned off.... the more paranoid among us might wonder why.

And the UK has an exciting (there might be other, better, words to describe it) Budget to look forward to tomorrow.

Also to note the passing of reggae legend Jimmy Cliff, at 81.

To those working retail on Black Friday, may your shoes be comfortable, may your breaks be enforced and may your customers be as mellow as possible.

Additional Tags: Drabble, Slice of Life
Summary:

Yar shows Worf a flaw






Yar circled to the left, and Worf watched as he adjusted himself. When she lunged, he was as ready as he could be, and still she managed to foul his leg, and get him off balance. From there it was only two quick moves and he stumbled out of the circle they had made.

"You are a formidable warrior."

"So are you, but you're not accustomed to smaller, faster opponents who know how to use their body," Yar said. "So, joining my class?"

"Yes."

She smiled, then beckoned him in for another round. He took the invitation, eager to learn.

Instead of a discussion topic this week, I thought I'd share some fun words and definitions I've saved.  Today's word, per Merriam-Webster:

Wilder:  (pronounced as in its remaining form "bewilder")
  1.   (transitive verb)  1.  To lead astray;  2.  Bewilder, perplex
  2.   (intransitive verb)  1.  To move at random, to wander

Power Man is a future version of Luke Cage who's also the Sentry and the Hulk. He's also Iron Fist, though you'd think that wouldn't matter much compared to the other two.

Last issue: punching. Apocalypse was there. This is the conclusion.

Discussion:  Oh boy.  Here we are at another week, huh.  How'd that even happen?  But enough mourning the inexorable passage of time!

This week sees--for those of us in the States--a major holiday which often correlates to major stress; it's not the most conducive to writing!  But there's still a bit of time on either side of the holiday for the possibility of writing.  (And for y'all not in an American Thanksgiving world, it will just be Thursday.)

So, what are your writing plans for the coming week?
