There were ten? I only remember three. Where on earth did she find enough plto for seven more, unless she switched to writing about Acorna's Mary Sue children with the other space unicorn (there was a boy one, too, eventually, right?).
The McCaffery-style brainship fic is this one (http://elspethdixon.livejournal.com/171080.html) where Steve is the captain, Hank, Jan, and Thor are crew,and Tony's the ship. There's actually a whole plotbunny that goes with it where Steve and Bucky were the cryogenically frozen only survivors of a space ship destroyed in a Great Big War fifty years ago, and Bucky was so badly mangled in the process that he's made into a brainship (the Winter Soldier, Nastasha's the captain and sole crew and they do covert ops and spying/smuggling for Space Commander Fury) so Steve put in for captaincy of a brainship - the brawn position, essentially - in hopes of rejoining him, but got assigned to Tony instead. And then finds out once they're in space for their first mission that Tony deliberately cycled his supposed-to-have-tragically-committed-suicide previous captain Bruce Banner out the airlock when he went crazy in deep space and tried to kill the rest of the crew. Which is an automatic death sentence for a brainship (The brain of the Pride of Latveria tried to do it to Captain Richards and the other three members of his crew, who survived but were exposed to cosmic radiation and mutated by it in the process, and the Dayspring's supposedly been hijacked by a mercenary but is known by space navy command to have actually gone rogue, and everyone knows the Battleship X has been a little crazy since his first captain deserted and became a terrorist space pirate, so command is a little paranoid about it's ship-people now). And it's obvious the whole rest of the crew knew about it and covered it up to protect each other, which is basically mutiny, and also Steve's fallen in love with Tony, so oh noes, what does he do?
