My Chocolate Box Stories
I wrote seven stories for this Chocolate Box!
Dragonlance - Margaret Weis & Tracy Hickman
Kitiara and Laurana’s Baby Dragon Café. Kitiara/Laurana. 1099 words. It made perfect sense for Kitiara and Laurana to open a baby dragon café.
In which Kitiara discovers that some things are too evil even for her. I cannot even tell you how much delight it gave me to write![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
yhlee's prompt "Kitiara and Laurana open a baby dragon petting coffee shop."
Dragonriders of Pern - Anne McCaffrey
The Colors of the South. Brekke & Wirenth. 541 words. Brekke needs a break. Wirenth makes sure she gets one.
Those two really needed a day at the beach in which nothing terrible happens.
Vanity Fair. Menolly & fire lizards. 889 words. Menolly's fire lizards are sometimes very helpful. Other times, not so much.
scioscribe suggested the fire lizards helping Menolly with her chores, a la Disney Princess animals. (This is actually more-or-less canon given the time they fetch her pipes.) I figured it might be more like "helping."
Dune (2021 movie)
Sand and Water, Spice and Blood. Liet Kynes & Shai Hulud. A girl and her sandworm.
Dr. Liet Kynes was my absolute favorite part of the recent movies. I was very happy to see that I wasn't the only Chocolate Box participant who wanted more of her.
Miss Mack - Michael McDowell. (Short story online.)
A Lifetime of Saturdays. Miss Mack/Janice Faulk. 1666 words (yes, on purpose). Janice to the rescue!
I wanted to write a fix-it for the unique and charming canon couple, Miss Mack and Janice, while keeping it a horror story. Horror doesn't have to mean that the heroes meet a terrible fate. Sometimes the villains do.
Star Trek: The Original Series.
The Seven-Year Booty Call. T'Pring/Uhura. 1686 words.
What would it be like to meld minds with a powerful telepath in the grip of a raw, irresistible, hormone-driven sexual frenzy?
“I understand if you decline,” T’Pring began. “Logically, for a human, such a thing would be—”
“Incredibly hot,” said Uhura, and closed the distance between them.
X-Men (Comics)
A Grace Too Powerful To Name. Illyana Rasputin & Rachel Summers. 3472 words. Illyana intercepts Rachel at a crucial moment.
Writing this story, a fix-it for Rachel's absolute lowest moment in a life full of them, was SO SATISFYING. I think it's been in the back of my mind ever since I was sixteen.
I initially meant to write X-Men/New Mutants treats for everyone who requested them, but alas, it didn't happen. So I'm really glad this was my assignment!
