Fairy Tales or me being a huge lit geek and yet pathetic

[pixelmayhem]

I should be doing my chemistry homework that is due tomorrow morning. See Icon. In fact I plan on passing out 5 minutes from now and waking early to get it done.

Contemplating prompt #5. Have a zillion ideas. And finally we're at a word count I can do easily. I've cut so much out of all my other admissions it's not even funny. I feel like my other admissions have been so crap because they feel cut off. I thought about re-inserting some of it for prompt #4 when I posted it here. I cut out about another 1000 words. I'm too verbose. :C

I need to bash out my ideas for #5 but first I'm trying to remember what fairy tales have been done already for kirk/mccoy.

Of course there's selinamoonfire 's fabulous Big Bang Beauty and the Beast story A Kind of Magic but what other ones am I forgetting. I think there was a version of The Ice Queen? But I still have it on my to-read/view list and so an unsure if I have that right. I've seen quite a few "Sleeping Beauty" type stories, but was there one that specifically claimed it was the fairy tale version? And What other's have I missed??? Help me out here flist.

If you know any other fairy tale K/Mc stories lets me know what fairy tale it was. There was that Sailor moon story. Any greek/olympic god connections? Anything farther out into mythology? Norse? Meso-american (holy-shit that would be cool...ideas bloom). African mythology? Chinese? Japanese?

Annnnd now I have a million questions I need to ask the mods about what fairy tales are acceptable. Because my personal library...has a 9 foot bookshelf dedicated to children's stories, and fairy tales, and mythology. (specifically regarding mythology....I could have so much fun playing with that.....*DIES*)

The Beauty and the Beast AU I've read twice and love so that's a fairytale I have to stay away from. There's been at least 2 merman AUs, I also remember an Ice Queen story...for space_wrapped, maybe? Any of the Jim or Bones get trapped in their own minds and need Spock to do a mindmeld as Bones or Jim go in to get them back could be Sleeping Beauty or Snow White but I'm going to go with the rule that if they don't outright claim it's based on the fairytale, than it doesn't count. Because then we could say the Pretty Woman based AU was Cinderella and fairytales have just ingrained into so many plots that it could arguably be any story. :P

I'm torn between two right now... One's a fairytale, the other's a Roman myth. But then the Roman myth inspired Beauty and the Beast, so IDK what I'm gonna do.

I totally forgot about the Merman ones. Thanks! Yeah, I consider the trapper in their minds ones a type of cinderella, but not claimed. But I was unsure if anyone had officially claimed cinderella or sleeping beauty.

Oh I know, my main picks are two greek myths, midas, and the light princess. I'm so confused and so excited.
