Written as a birthday present to alexwish2005, she of the brilliant and twisted mind. Also a part of sacred_20 prompt 6: Dogma. This took a lot longer than I expected, so, uh, Happy Winterveil, fandom! Have some unapologetic fairytale schmoop!

Beta read by dissociate, thanks~~~ <3

Title: Spockunzel
Author: Renata Lord (snowlight)
Characters: Kirk/Spock, Sarek/Amanda, T'Pau
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: ~4,500
Disclaimer: There is a company called Paramount...
Note: Longhair!Spock. This story contains a very (and I mean very) loose retelling of The Motion Picture too, but in my head it's far more AU than either TOS or XI.

( A long long time ago, in a faraway kingdom called Vulcan.... )

泪流满面。

In trying to avoid writing my portfolio and my Yuletide fic, I ended up translating a very lovely Chinese poem.

If you have some experiences with Romance of the Three Kingdoms, you might recall the marriage between Lord Liu and Lady Sun. Well, the wedding is depicted in a Chinese drama here. Not particularly accurate as far as historical details go, but close enough.

The first two and half minute of the video is just great. They took a famous Yuefu love song from Southern China (where Lady Sun hailed from) named A Song for Four Seasons and accompanied it with lovely music. I tried to be faithful to the original text while make sense for the English readers, but please be assured the original is far more exquisite that what I may be able to produce.

如题。把《子夜四时歌》拿来翻译了一下玩。可惜英文版本没翻译出押韵来，而且多少也太直白了一点……春天和冬天的稍微好一点，夏天的就有点惨不忍睹了……

( The video herein. )

A Song for Four Seasons	子夜四时歌
Flowers in the vernal woods bloom exquisitely While the spring birds sing of adoration And my robe billows In the playful wind	春林花多媚， 春鸟意多哀。 春风复多情， 吹我罗裳开。
In the morning we visit the terrace By dusk we rest upon the Orchid Lake Sailing on the moon to gather the sacred lotus Night after night, we are gifted with its seeds	朝登凉台上， 夕宿兰池里。 乘月采芙蓉， 夜夜得莲子。
Look up to the paulownia trees Their blossoms are beyond lovely May the land never know frost nor snow So that its kernel may last a thousand years	仰头看桐树， 桐花特可怜。 愿天无霜雪， 梧子解千年。
Even the deepest of waters freezes to three feet of ice Austere snow paves over a thousand miles My heart is steadfast as the pine tree Then, my love, what of yours?	渊冰厚三尺， 素雪复千里。 我心如松柏， 君情复何似。

2008 version here.

All pieces are ST works unless otherwise mentioned.

Looking back, did you write more fic than you thought you would this year, less, or about what you'd predicted?
Definitely more. A lot more. Star Trek, your wonders are too numerous.

What pairing/genre/fandom did you write that you would never have predicted in 2008?
Star Trek and Supernatural. I guess I never thought about myself not writing Kill Bill...

What's your favorite story of the year? Not the most popular, but the onethat makes you happiest?
Abyss (dreamverse included). Oh what a shame it would never see light ofthe day.
For posted ones, I’d have to go with Transfiguration. Okay so it’s not being updated at the moment, but IT WILL BE, OKAY?

( And it continues. )

テルーのうた/瑟魯之歌/Therru's Song, sung by 手嶌葵(TESHIMA Aoi) for ゲド戦記 (Tales from Earthsea).

It's a slow-moving song, but done with such clarity and otherworldliness. And the lyrics are just beautiful.

火影版ST: XI预告篇。真的太强了。

NARUTO: Star Trek Trailer (HQ).

Featuring Jiraiya!Pike, Naruto!Kirk, Kakashi!Spock (wtf), Yondaime!George, Orochimaru!Nero, and other crack.

Even if I pretty much hate (except hate is such a strong word) Naruto (the series) by now, I have to admit, this is some pretty epic stuff. It brings back the good memories, in a way. And that makes me sad, somehow.

( random quote meme )

Been reading a lot of the Dean/Castiel stuff on deancastiel. This fandom is full of fucking novels, and I mean that in the best sense possible. My only problem (concern?) is that it invariably gets tied to theology, which is such a personal thing and makes me feel out of place.

Anyway. I am now totally convinced that John Winchester = God in some really screwed up incarnation. I mean, Michael and Lucifer, plus Adam the brother-from-god-knows-where? Add the amulet business and the signs are JUMPING off the wall, srsly.

In other news, I'm really beginning to like (like, like like, okay) Dean. I keep watching Bring on the Wonder and my heart just breaks for him, over and over. I've warmed up to Sam, too. Which is good. Because, honestly, the brothers are a package deal (and I say this not as a Wincest girl).

Bring on the wonder
Bring on the song
I pushed you down deep in my soul for too long

And, oh, Misha Collins? AWESOME.

Watched ST: XI movie trailer again. SO EPIC. I remember when I did a presentation on the topic of my honors thesis (an eon ago, it seemed), I was given the advice that the talk should be like a movie trailer, showing the audience the very parts in order to draw them in. I think the trailer for XI does exactly that. The music is perfect. Kirk & Spock are perfect. And Pike. Oh God Pike is so hot he should be illegal.

XI is not TOS (in both the good and the bad sense), but it's pretty cool in its own right. The single shot of Kirk sitting down in that chair—you really get the sense that this is meant to be, that this is, indeed, his first and best destiny.

And kirkspock, I LOVE YOU.

这是我满世界乱翻看到的唯一一篇Michael!Dean/Castiel的文。虽然算是强上的，但是意境我很喜欢(？？)，再加上最近打算练习下中文，所以翻译了来玩。谢谢荔枝小姐帮我斟酌字句。

瓶子，你和Saga的东西我已经下了单，Amazon今天寄出来了。他的那个很好带，你的……我不知道体积如何。如果实在不行，估计得邮寄。如果你有阿飞的电邮地址，请告诉我一下，MSN上面留言就可以。

重庆飞北京的机票被改票了，orz……不过似乎还是那个时间段。

另外就是，香港的话，我似乎是一个人了……-_____________-||||||||

S5E02的真相：
驸马：你来给我帮忙。
公主：才不。你是笨蛋。我要去找我爹！
驸马：你才是笨蛋！你爹早就不上朝了！
公主：废话少说，东西拿来。
驸马：不给你！
公主：拿来！
驸马：………………………………[上缴了]

Also available in the Kirk/Spock (Star Trek) incarnation.

10 Genres in 10 Snippets
by Renata Lord

1. Angst
Dean never did get his amulet back.

2. AU
"I can see the newsflash already, Cas—'Virgin wants you to hook up with a hot gay angel'."
Castiel rubbed his shoulders. They still hurt a little from the wing prop. "I'm afraid I am no angel."

3. Crack!
Dean thought about it long and hard before changing his Facebook status to "in a relationship."
(Sam noted that all his "people you might know" are still the ex-girlfriends.)

4. Crossover
"What's the matter?" Castiel frowned at the man called Dexter Morgan. "You don't think you deserve to be saved."

5. First Time
"Say yes." The human whispered against his lips. "Say you'd kill for me. Feel for me. Fall from your precious heaven for me."

6. Fluff
Sunlight came through the dirty window, and for a moment Dean thought he saw the wings, strong and beautiful.

7. Humor
Dean arched an eyebrow at Uriel.
"You mean, like…like like?"

8. Hurt/Comfort
"You know I've lost the ability to heal others." Castiel said hesitantly.
Sam sighed.
"None of that angel stuff. Just—go in there and see him. It'll help. I know."

9. Smut
It wasn't paradise. It wasn't the Rapture. But his Grace resonated with it and obliterated every thought except that name on his lips.

0. UST
Castiel's warmth lingers on the Impala's passenger seat, even long after he has vanished into thin air.

---

And an extra one (No 4. Crossover) for asukajude:

"FBI consultant" Neal Caffrey flashed a very charming smile at the angel. Dean didn't like it. He knew that look all too well.

荔枝：这个是演员的真人坛，但是有专门的Castiel的版
http://castiel.getbbs.com/
某蝶：演员是个囧人！
荔枝：－－
某蝶：彻底的囧人！！！还好人蛮聪明的
荔枝：说来听听 －－ 难不成像ZQ？
某蝶：比ZQ还囧
荔枝：…………

( 生命的意义在于折腾 )

勾引荔枝看SPN(4季之后)，成功！

某蝶：我最近被SPN击沉了！
某蝶：确切地说被其中一人物击沉了……
某蝶：我这个就是，一个天使为了一个人类而背叛天庭放弃一切的故事T_T (而人类还JJWW的……)
荔枝：哈哈哈哈哈～～这个说什么的？魔幻？
某蝶：前三季是两兄弟当恶魔猎人，小打小闹。第三季末尾，哥哥挂了，到地狱了
荔枝：＝＝
荔枝：那天使是跟谁一起？
某蝶：哥哥！
某蝶：第四季开头，哥哥复活了。然后天使无表情登场，说，I am the one who gripped you tight and raised you from perdition.
哥哥说，哦，谢谢啦。…………然后一刀子插进人家胸口。
荔枝：………………………………我靠。于是说你萌了一个前3季都没有的CP？
某蝶：对。在天使出来前这剧里面没有天使，所以哥哥以为这是魔鬼来的。现在都第五季了，天使超级人气，于是本来只是小半个季节的出场预定改为整个第四季……到了第五季干脆成为regular cast member....
荔枝：哇咧……
某蝶：啊啊啊啊天使超级萌啊…………好多地方和Spock好相似啊

( 很长很长很长……算存档。 )

荔枝小姐，你大大地有眼光！

White Collar太好看外加搞笑了！Neal同学太英俊无敌了！

……只是，虽然Neal同学的GF很莫名其妙，但为啥大叔有LP啊？而且那LP我还蛮喜欢的！(Saved by the Bell里面的Tiffani Thiessen，我的……青春痕迹。)现在这样子我只觉得这是头疼的老爸+睿智的老妈+叛逆的天才儿子，活脱脱吉祥三宝和谐的一家。可惜Neal同学的闺蜜(orz)长相如此WS，不然我就拿他去配Neal了。(虽然他就是WS才更加有笑果……驾房车撞人那里，笑死我也。)

总结：这剧如果没有Neal他GF的主线就完美了……

另外就是，我终于没能抵挡住Supernatural的诱惑，在youtube攻势之下成功陷落为Castiel爱好者，三天之内基本上补完S4+S5，然后发现Dean也很可爱~~~~~ (兄弟配就别说了，对于我而言不管到哪里都是雷的……)

有墙头爬的日子真美好啊…… T_T

( White Collar S1E7剧透 )

Bring on the Wonder is just so lovely and heartbreaking. T_T

Also:

1. Mommy Winchester has the same birthday as me. Eeep.

2. Uh, kinda falling in love with Dean too. *_*

****, Dean&Castiel will be the death of me.
(Come think of it, it probably would be a good death.)
