(No, drugged-out!Doctor still needed to be kept out of trouble - largely, the regression accentuates his already turbulent moods, so the verbal barbs and sarcasm become rants and outright sulking, the solid conviction that he's always right becomes a lot more pronounced, and the little woe-is-me-I-am-in-exile self-pity moments get a bit more needy and emotionally raw. At one point he's even okay with being cuddled, because even when you're raising a teen there are moments where they *don't* hate you, right? Also there was one scene in there where the Doctor stuck his tongue out at the Brig after being told not to do something but then I realized that didn't make any sense because poking the tongue out wouldn't have the same significance to an adolescent Time Lord as it would to an adolescent human and anyway I don't know if British kids even do that.)
I'm pretty sure I'd fall asleep trying to drunkfic too. I'm really sort of a boring drunk. I'd have to limit it to a galss of wine, and I'm not sure that's enough to make me post stuff I wouldn't post sober.
so the competitive dynamic is part "I can do better than you, nyaaah" and "Look what I did, aren't you proud of me?"
Yes! I love that in a father-son pairing, because it's two seemingly contrary emotions - rivalry and craving for attention/approval - that at root have a similar source (wanting to be better, whether for one's own benefit or the pleasure of another) directed at the same object, and the mental gymnastics required to accommodate those conflicting emotions. I've already mentioned that it worked really well in that fic snippet you posted, and I am ever so excited to see more of it, you have no idea. *jumps up and down*
I'm curious as to why the CP story would be incompatible (I almost typed incomplatible, which doesn't mean anything but sounds funny), though. It would require setup, yes, but I find setup and development makes a fic more interesting and satisfying. Does it not match up with the way Kirk/Pike is depicted in the rubble fic and the Sulu/Pike fic? Maybe you could make an authors note that the three fics you mentioned are of a similar continuity that the CP fic exists outside of.
You know Kirk likes it. McCoy, too. And DUDE YES MORE BDSM PLANETS. They are my secret pop-skiffy weakness except they're not a secret at all. Also I have no idea what paternal!primitive!Spock would be like but it would either be brilliant or hilarious. It's like a reverse Pon Farr, and as such makes a weird sort of sense.
...why would I judge you for self-indulgent silliness? I'm tl;dring at you about self-indulgent silliness in *two different comment threads* right now. Self-indulgent silliness is excellent and should be encouraged!
YES YES DO RAMBLE AT ME I WISH TO HEAR IT. Mainly because I know nothing about movie!verse Joycelyn and only what's onscreen for Winona and as such I am really, really looking for some good headcanon about them, especially headcanon where they get to be badass and awesome and have adventures and SNIPE THINGS HELLZ YEAH.
I PRACTICALLY DEMAND MORE CRIMES AGAINST FANDOM. FANDOM IS SO MUCH LESS INTERESTING WITHOUT THEM.
