David Posner/Donald Scripps (The History Boys)
It's vital to the themes of the History Boys that everyone be miserable forever, but what this ship presupposes is... maybe it isn't? Maybe Scripps helps Posner get through his multiple breakdowns and they enter a healthy relationship and nothing bad happens to anyone ever again?
Here they are reenacting the end of the hit film Brief Encounter.
Christopher Pike/Spock (Star Trek: The Original Series)
Pike was the first captain Spock ever served under, and when Spock found out he had been terribly injured and paralyzed, his immediate reaction was to falsify documents to trick Kirk into taking the Enterprise to Pike, then commendeer the Enterprise to take Pike to most forbidden planet of all time, even though he was putting himself and the rest of the crew at tremendous risk. Granted, Spock is deranged and lies all the time, but his devotion to Pike is definitely worthy of note.

DEAR YULETIDE WRITER
I'm excited to read whatever you want to write (treats welcome)! Happy with any rating, bit more detail about stuff I like if you're stuck:
Things I like in general: bedsharing; the sentiment “I see you”/”I know who you are”; circularity; ambiguity; queerness; adventure stories; fake dating! AND/OR marriage of convenience!; the apocalypse and what comes after; alternate universes; cross-dressing; people putting make-up on each other; authentically awkward speech patterns; road trips; massages; tattoos; clones and/or robots with feelings; a palpable sense of longing; terrible plans; terrible people; clever/weird things with structure; first times; last times; flashbacks.
Stuff I would prefer not to see: humiliation, choking.
Fandom-specific notes under the cut. Thank you!
The History Boys (Stuart Dakin, Donald Scripps)
Anyone writing it down/anyone on their knees. Doesn't have to be romantic (I would love it to be romantic) but more of these two please, whether it's at school or after. Please no Posner as a romantic interest for either Scripps or Dakin, thanks. Irwin stuff fine/encouraged.
These two actually excellent candidates to be stuck on a road trip together imo. Stuff I like in canon includes: Scripps' faith, Scripps' forearms, Scripps not wanking, any time Dakin gets embarrassed, poetry, Sheffield, the best moments in reading, cold stone.
The Philadelphia Story (Tracy Lord, Macaulay Connor, CK Dexter Haven)
Banging my clipboard spilling my drink chanting THREESOME THREESOME etc. Dressing gowns! Sailing! Pedestals! Big scenes at society affairs! If you simply have to pick a side of the triangle I'd prefer Tracy/Mike, please.
Pretty self-explanatory, I'd just like to hang out with these three a bit more. Stuff I like in canon includes: moments of high emotion near bodies of water inc. swimming pools, drunken honesty, drunken nonsense, Tracy's wardrobe, Dinah, yar-ness as a concept, being worshipped vs being loved, Mike as a writer.
The Righteous Gemstones (Judy, BJ, Kelvin, Keefe)
Would love either Judy/BJ or Kelvin/Keefe here - although feel free to spend the whole fic on another Gemstones significant others hangout feat. Amber and Tiff etc. If the spirit moves you re: Judy/BJ I would welcome absolute filth; it's what they would want.
Stuff I like in canon includes: Judy's tragic/horrifying romantic backstory, BJ's fits, Judy and BJ being absolute sex freaks about each other, Keefe being in charge of looking after Kelvin's body, Satanic sex club stuff, levels of derangement generally through the roof.

hello fellow enjoyer of things >:)
😈 Has there been a point in a story where you did something just to be playfully mean to your readers?
🛒 What are some common things you incorporate in your fics? Themes, feels, scenes, imagery, etc.
🛠What tools/programs/apps do you use to write?
💖 What made you start writing?
👀 Tell me about an up and coming wip please!
💞 Who's your comfort character?
✅ What's something that appears in your fics over and over and over again, even if you don't mean to?
😈: i am so bad at writing smut scenes so i always fade to black, even when it feels like there should be a scene there and i've built up to it, and it just feels cruel. i would say like 60% of the time there was a sex scene there but i just couldn't get it right so i always end up cutting them out before posting. also i wrote a story once where the entire thesis was "what if the villain deliberately broke the rules on bioethics, as a character study and worldbuilding exercise" and well. readers did not seem to like that. conversely, i also have not updated either of my big WIPs in over a year, so like, that too.
🛒: music and sound are a very big part of my life, so they come up in my stories pretty often! i really enjoy writing to set the place of a scene/story, so i do a lot of touch/smell/hearing similes and metaphors. in terms of feelings, there's a lot of contemplating of loneliness, but not the kind that is, "i am alone in my room," rather the, "i am the only one who has this set of experiences and circumstances, and i cannot explain myself to this person who i care about so they can understand my actions/affections/choices fully, and that makes me feel isolated."
🛠: i primarily use scrivener to write fic, although if you catch me without my laptop, i'll sometimes use google docs or just a plain old fashioned pen and paper. if i'm plotting something out for a longer story, i might use a handwritten timeline on a blank sheet of paper and then just cover it in highlighter and sticky notes as i tack on addendums, if i'm not just screaming about it in a friend's DMs. thesaurus dot com is my best friend.
💖: i started writing fic when i was maybe 11 or 12, right around the time that i first learned that fic existed when i was looking up pictures to make my nook wallpaper, and you could do self-inserts and change the story around to suit your desires, like play-pretend but better. there were just so many permutations to explore, and i really liked that idea! i didn't start publishing fic until i was about 15. that first fic is still out there on ao3 somewhere, but i've since anonymized it so i don't have to look at it on my profile anymore lol. (not because i think the fandom is cringe, but rather because i've grown a lot as an author and it's not necessarily representative of my ability anymore!)
👀: so i know the answer you want me to tell you about is the comphet iceman accidental lovechild aaron tveit AU but sadly i have no more words on paper than that which i have already told you (iceman, very gay and upset over breakup # 3 with maverick, comphet rebounds with a woman who is also very gay and rebounding comphet style and whoops there's a baby now and here comes a bouncing baby aaron tveit). i'm still working on the timelines, because the top gun timeline in relation to the actual universe timeline of when everyone got married/how old aaron is versus when CMIYC was on broadway/aaron's nearly 10-year long absence from broadway is a hot mess and i'm trying to piece things together in the way that is the most true to form/makes the most sense.
💞: donald scripps from the history boys ("I have never particularly liked myself but the boy I was, kneeling in that cold and empty chapel that winter morning, fills me now with longing and pity," spoke wonders to my eighteen-year-old self who was also off to university and questioning reality) and obi-wan kenobi from star wars ("until this very moment, he had never realized he’d always expected, for no discernible reason—that when he died, anakin would be with him." his place in the series as a man who fights for good because it is the right thing to do, because he believes in goodwill, even as the world crumbles around him because it is inevitable that he fail in his mission and ultimately lose everything and everyone he loves, and we all know that he must fail so that others will succeed where he did not... i eat that shit RIGHT up.)
✅: there are at least three separate instances where i have used the righteous brothers' unchained melody in my writing, and two of them are because the song plays on a jukebox in a greasy spoon diner. it was completely unintentional, that's just a song that keeps popping up lol.

As coronavirus strikes, crucial data in electronic health records hard to harvest
When President Donald Trump started touting hydroxychloroquine as “one of the biggest game-changers” for treating COVID-19, researchers hoped electronic health records could quickly tell them if he was on the right track.
  Yet pooling data from the digital records systems in thousands of hospitals has proved a technical nightmare thus far. That’s largely because software built by rival technology firms often cannot retrieve and share information to help doctors judge which coronavirus treatments are helping patients recover.
  “I’m stunned at EHR vendors’ inability to consistently pull data from their systems,” said Dale Sanders, chief technology officer of Health Catalyst, a medical data analytics company. “It’s absolutely hampering our ability to understand and react to COVID.”
  Over the past decade, federal officials have spent some $36 billion switching from paper to electronic health records, or EHRs, expecting, among other things, to harness volumes of medical data to reveal which treatments work best.
EHRs document every step doctors or other health care workers take in treating a COVID patient, from medicines prescribed to signs of progress or setbacks. Data collected from large numbers of patients could quickly yield answers about which treatments are succeeding.
  But the pandemic is bringing into stark relief just how far the nation is from achieving the promised benefits, critics say.
Dr. Richard Cook, a research scientist and health care safety specialist, traces the data problems to missteps dating to the rollout of EHR, which began in earnest in 2009 and has been controversial ever since because commercial players produced―and hospitals bought—systems that have proved more suited to billing than public health. “This was a boondoggle from the get-go, and the promoters knew it at the time,” Cook said.
  Although some health systems are beginning to draw on EHR data to spot coronavirus trends and beneficial treatments, most health organizations around the country cannot readily do so.
  “If we had a national database, we’d get a readout quickly about responses to [COVID-19] treatments,” said Dr. Eric Topol, director of the Scripps Research Translational Institute.
Medical researchers favor studies that test the efficacy of a drug in a formal clinical trial, and trials are underway for a variety of possible COVID-fighting medicines, including hydroxychloroquine. The results could take months or more, however, and doctors treating critically ill patients have few options in the meantime.
Topol said “real-world” evidence drawn from computerized records of COVID patients, while not as reliable as a clinical trial, is “still very useful” to help guide medical decisions.
Medical data has been hard to tease out because much of it resides in electronic “silos,” which government officials have not required technology companies to open up and eliminate.
“We’ll see piecemeal readouts of small numbers from individual health systems,” Topol said, but “don’t have the important data that we need.”
Sanders, whose firm is a member of the COVID-19 Healthcare Coalition, a business-sponsored group promoting coronavirus data-sharing and analysis, said federal health officials lost precious time by failing to address this need as early as mid-January.
  He said the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, or CDC, should have devised a COVID data-collection plan using standardized terminology so hospitals with incompatible EHRs could compare notes on the fast-paced pandemic.
The CDC did not respond to written requests seeking comment. A spokesman for the Health and Human Services office that coordinates health information technology policy said: “This is a novel disease so the health care system did not know what data we needed to collect―we are learning that the system needs to build out reporting information on multiple clinical features.”
Still, several of the top EHR manufacturers have joined the data-sharing coalition, which is pledging to at least partially fill the information void. The group has access to COVID data from about two dozen health systems and is expecting to add more.
“This is the first attempt at this that I’m aware of where inherently competitive EHR vendors have come together to work together with clinical researchers,” said Dr. Brian Anderson, chief digital health physician with the MITRE Corp., a nonprofit technology group that formed the coalition in late March.
  Anderson said the coalition is “getting close” to being able to share some results from reports of treating people with convalescent plasma recovered from patients who have survived COVID-19. The group is also examining treatment data on the drug remdesivir as it irons out some of the technical difficulties that complicated its analysis of hydroxychloroquine. Last week, the Food and Drug Administration warned that hydroxychloroquine could cause heart problems and should be used only in a hospital or clinical trial.
There are other signs the EHR industry is relaxing its grip on medical data in response to the emergency. Major EHR vendor Cerner Corp. has offered researchers access to some types of COVID-19 data, including “clinical complications and outcomes that could help drive important medical decisions.”
And some health systems have begun publishing data drawn from EHRs. One study released this month, for instance, tracked the outcome of 5,700 coronavirus patients treated at 12 hospitals in a New York City health system and found that 88% of patients placed on ventilators had died. All the hospitals shared the same records vendor.
“In crisis, people seek data and authorities demand it,” said Cook, the health care safety specialist. But, he said, “it is not possible to build such a system on demand.”
Ross Koppel, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania and longtime EHR safety expert, said that the COVID-19 pandemic illustrates both “strengths and disappointments” of the digital systems.
While health systems using a single vendor have been able to pool data, Koppel said, the industry has battled regulators seeking to adopt common standards, a practice known as interoperability.
“That failure to mine these oceans of invaluable data reflects the power of the vendors to prevent government requirements for data standards and interoperability,” he said.
  Limits in electronic data collection systems also are hindering COVID-19 public health and surveillance efforts.
Officials said they are sometimes required to manually fill out and fax some forms, wasting valuable time. Some information must be printed out from EHRs and reentered by public health authorities because it cannot be sent electronically.
Certain CDC forms, such as Person Under Investigation COVID case reports, can take up to 30 minutes to complete. Other forms exchanged between hospitals and laboratories often are missing critical information, leading to delays in contacting patients and identifying people they had close contact with. In some states, demographic information on race and ethnicity is missing 85% of the time, and patients’ addresses, half the time, according to Janet Hamilton, executive director of the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists.
  “We’re using yesterday’s technology for the biggest public health emergency in our lifetimes,” Hamilton said. “COVID has demonstrated for people what we’ve known all along. You can’t leave public health at the end of the line."
The government’s health IT chief says a new administrative rule to promote interoperability and bar EHR manufacturers from impeding the flow of information will take time to change behavior
“If this were to have happened three or four years in the future when we have interoperability … we would be in a much better spot here. But unfortunately, that’s not quite the case, but we’re still keeping our work going,” Donald Rucker, national coordinator for health information technology, said during an April 15 virtual meeting.

Loyalty kink? They've got that. Identity porn? Got it. Double crossing? Wheels within wheels? Moon fetish? Berserker that only one person can control? You know it, baby.
Posner/Scripps (The History Boys)
The History Boys is a lot like Pretty in Pink, where Posner has to realize that the popular guy isn't what he really wants, and maybe the perfect guy was right next to him all along... Except it's not and I'm lying. That might not be the plot of Pretty in Pink either, come to think of it.

So sweet actually that at some point Scripps, a student dedicated to journalism, at some point decided “yeah i’ll play piano accompaniment to whatever song my littlest friend wants to sing love-sickly in public at our mutual friend for the whole semester and perhaps beyond” and just played the shit out of whatever music was handed to him
