Title: I Knead You (A Bakery AU)
Authors:
wook77 &
elanorofcastile
Pairings: Eventual Kirk/McCoy with sides of Spock/Uhura, Scotty/Gaila & Sulu/Chekov. Also, lots of Joanna McCoy.
Rating: This chapter is PG
Warnings: Present Day AU
Wordcount: ~2700
Summary: Chez Enterpríse has to be the fakest French name for a bakery that Medical Examiner Leonard McCoy has ever heard of. That doesn't stop him from discovering the crew of the bakery and falling in love with its owner.
A/N: Beta'd by
djin7 and
lauriegilbert. So,
wook77 called up
elanorofcastile and said, "I have the best idea ever for our Big Bang. What do you think of the Enterprise being a bakery and Chekov hating donuts? Like, seriously hating them to the point that he flails and gets prissy?" and, in true
elanorofcastile fashion, she humored
wook77 until they both started writing. Then the story turned epic. And multi-parted. And awesome.

I enjoyed this group of photos posted by
I can now write at least part of
A Christmas Carol in Dicken's handwriting (with corrections) and typeset for comparison.
Too bad we don't have Shakespeare's handwritten manuscripts. I love seeing these things. My favourite? Seeing copies of Byron's poems, written messily by himself and copied neatly in Claire Claremont's handwriting.
Question for my British English-speaking friends:
While teaching my students how to pronounce years in English today, several of them disputed the reading of century years like 1600. I told them they must say "sixteen-hundred" but several of them thought it was done differently in British English: "one thousand six hundred." As in, "The volcano Huaynaputina erupted in one thousand six hundred." The students said they were taught this in English classes in their countries, where they are often taught British English.
Am I just having a brain blip? I don't remember anybody in England or Scotland going around saying "one thousand nine hundred" when referring to the year 1900. Is this a legitimate pronunciation in some context I'm not thinking of?
Thanks for your help!

Name: Alexa
Age: 19
Location: Richmond and Petersburg, Virginia (Not too far from the BAU) ;)
Favorite TV Show: Criminal Minds!
Other Shows Watched: Supernatural and Numb3rs
Favorite Quote: Mm, there are so many, I love almost all of the ones mentioned in the beginning and end of each episode.
Favorite Color: Teal
If I was a criminal, I'd be... Overly organized, almost disgustingly so, and overly paranoid...
I became obsessed with Criminal Minds after watching the reruns every single waking moment on A&E in the past few months. So I got seasons 1-3 (haven't gotten to 4 yet, but I've seen many of them) and I'm currently catching myself up to what's currently going on.
Nice to meet you all :)

Hotch/Foyet episodes (relationship?) tribute.

HERE @ my lj
PS: Seriously, nothing special. I just really wanted to do ANYTHING on that awesome song.
Brown merino wool polo-neck
Sparkly green flower necklace, worn over the polo-neck
Turquoise tweed mini-skirt
Chocolate opaque tights
Purple knee socks with pink trim
Technicals walking trainers
The last two items on the list are in place of my tan knee-high boots, which are soaked through after I walked back from knitting group at lunchtime in the pouring rain. I am rather annoyed by this, because these are the boots I bought a few weeks ago specifically because my old brown boots let the water in. I treated them with Nikwax and shoe protector just to be on the safe side, but it turns out that the water comes in at the seams and not through the leather. Does anyone know any way to prevent this? I was thinking of galoshes, but that wouldn't really work in a situation like today, where it was only raining a little bit when I went out, because I wouldn't have taken them with me.
Alternatively, do you think it would be reasonable to take the boots back and complain? I resent paying £100 for something which turns out to be no improvement on what I had before...
