Tuesdaaaaay: Genderswap

[oh-mcgee.livejournal.com]

Happy Tuesday all! Today's theme is genderswap. Pretty straight forward, prompts just have to feature one or more than one characters as the opposite gender for whatever reason. They might have always been the opposite gender than they are in canon or it can be something temporary because of magic or whatnot. Do with it what you will. :)

Just a few rules:
No more than five prompts in a row.
No more than three prompts in the same fandom.
Use the character's full names and fandom's full name for ease adding to the Lonely Prompts spreadsheet.
If your prompt or fill contains anything that can be a trigger for the reader, please add a warning for that to give the reader the chance to decide if they want to read or not.
No spoilers in prompts for a month after airing. Use the spoiler cut option found here.
If your fill contains spoilers, warn and leave plenty of space, or use the above mentioned spoiler cut.

Prompts should be formatted as follows: [Use the character's full names and fandom's full name]
Fandom, Character +/ Character, Prompt

Some examples to get the ball rolling...
Avengers, always a girl!Steve/Bucky, first time
Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Anya/Xander Harris, Xander gets whammied into a girl
DCU, always a girl!Dick Grayson/always a girl!Jason Todd, Little sister, don't you do what your big sister done.

We are now using AO3 to bookmark filled prompts. If you fill a prompt and post it to AO3 please add it to the Bite Sized Bits of Fic from 2015 collection. See further notes on this new option here.

Not feeling any of today’s prompts? Check out the just created Lonely Prompts Spreadsheet. For more recent prompts to write, you can also use LJ’s advanced search options to limit keyword results to only comments in this community.

While the Lonely Prompts Spreadsheet and LJ's advanced search options are available, bookmarking the links of prompts you like might work better for searching for in the future.

any. any. "I'm so glad I'm a man/woman." (when, in canon, they're not)

What Could Have Been (Star Trek TOS, Kirk/Spock femslash)

[lah-mrh.livejournal.com]

Spock runs her fingers through Jane's hair as they lie together, an activity she has grown fond of over the months of their relationship. "I received a message from my mother," she says. "My cousin Setak has recently bonded."

"Congratulations," Jane says. "Should we send something?" She sounds genuinely interested, but Spock can tell she's wondering why Spock is telling her this.

"That is not necessary," Spock replies. "It merely sparked a thought in my mind."

Jane raises her head to look at her. "Oh?"

Spock nods slowly. "When I was a child, my parents discussed whether I would be betrothed in the Vulcan fashion. As you are aware, my mother persuaded my father to allow me to choose my own mate."

Jane smiles, reaching out to lace her fingers into Spock's. "I'm very aware," she says. "And very grateful."

Spock's expression softens briefly, but she soon returns to her point. "It has occurred to me, however, that had I been male, the situation would almost certainly be different."

"How so?" Jane asks, brow furrowing in confusion.

Spock takes a breath, aware she is heading into difficult territory. "Due to their physiology, Vulcan males require a bondmate in a way females do not. It is quite literally a matter of life and death. It is difficult to imagine my parents would have agreed not to betroth me in such a situation."

"Huh," Jane says. "So you – male you – would have been bonded to some Vulcan woman?"

"Indeed," Spock replies. "It has occurred to me that I am very fortunate to have been born female. I much prefer the current state of things."

Jane grins. "Me too."

She leans in and kisses Spock, their bond humming pleasantly in the back of Spock's mind.

Yes, Spock thinks, she is very fortunate indeed.

This was great! Thanks for writing it. I liked it all, but especially 'Jane's' "should we send something?"

Always a good sign when a significant other wants to be ivolved with one's family. :D
