Fic: Deleted Scenes from "Starting Over"

Well, they're not totally deleted scenes such as scenes that happened a bit after the story, and they both started life as random email snippets for boosette, but they've been cleaned up a bit and here they are.

Title: Alien . . . Sex . . . Mold?
Summary: One tells Pike about recent events on the Yorktown.
Pairing: Pike/One
Rating: PG-13
Content Advisory: Pike drops an f-bomb, quoting.
Word Count: 700
Notes: This story probably won't make sense unless you know what happened in Starting Over, and I'm not sure I can gloss it succinctly. Suffice it to say that the Yorktown encounters, well, alien sex mold. And also, this fills the "sex: pollen, spores, or other intoxicants" square on my PikeOne bingo card. Thanks to boosette, who wanted to know what it was that One would have said to Pike if she would have called him while under the influence.

( Number One runs into her quarters a few minutes later than she wants. )

Title: Hiding in the Supply Closet
Summary: Ally meets Christine Chapel for the first time.
Characters: Christine Chapel, Ally Jarvis, Dana Cathcart
Rating: PG
Content Advisory: Nothing in particular.
Word Count: 800
Notes: Following about 3 years after Starting Over. Pretty much all you need to know is that Ally is scared to death of authority figures, primarily Number One.

( Christine Chapel loved being Head Nurse. )

Fic: "Open Invitation"

Title: Open Invitation
Summary: Pike and T'Pris play chess in a bar.
Pairing: Pike/T'Pris; background, ongoing Pike/One
Rating: PG-13
Content Advisory: Nothing in particular.
Word Count: 1400
Notes: T'Pris is not an OC; she's from Vulcan's Glory, like Cait Barry, although . . . well, check her out in Memory Beta if you want to know. I've rebooted her such that she went to the VSA instead of SFA and she entered the diplomatic corps after the destruction of Vulcan (where her first husband died; in the Prime Universe, he died in Starfleet service). And also, this fills the "open relationships and other poly permutations" square on my PikeOne bingo card. I'm sorry there's no porn. Maybe next week will be Porn Week.

Oh, and Humming Ale is an Anchor Brewing Company seasonal beer. Brown Pelicans (the drink) apparently exist, although I have never tried one.

( The Officer's Bar was not to be mistaken for the officers' bar that was actually at Starfleet HQ. )
