I am fic only for this exchange.

GOOD LUCK!

MAYBE: no-harm dubcon (sex pollen or “fertility artifact”) | period typical attitudes | infidelity | power dynamic

I wouldn't expect treats this time...but wouldn't say no either!

My general preferences are here.

THE SHORT LIST:

These are some things I like, if you find yourself casting around for an idea as you ponder the fandoms:

Canon Divergence/What-If AUs:

Canon Divergence AU – I am all about the paths not taken and what-ifs. I am totally here for fix-its, but I’m also here for wandering down different roads. I can NEVER get enough of this. I love the what-if factor and seeing where it takes you. Q-Squared is a great influence on timeline mixing stories I like. Feel free to run it as a straight canon divergence OR spin off into one of the Dimension hopping/time traveling. How does one change change everything?

Canon Divergence Fix-It – Canon has hurt me/disappointed me, but your AU can make it all better…

Pretty much all of my requests are good for AU (except maybe not Visionaries).

A few general AU scenarios I enjoy:

Flying Dutchman AU: They don’t have to sail around the Cape but looking for the heart of the story – the determination to do the thing even if it take eternity, the abandoned ship – feel free to evoke Mary Celeste as well. This one translates nicely to space-based canons.

Bermuda Triangle AU – Lost with no trace? Does the Triangle send them elsewhere? People trying to prove/disprove the Triangle?

Ice Age Never Ended AU – I like the idea of sticking the canon in an ice-age landscape (yes complete with megafauna). Saber-toothed kitties please!

Fairy Tale AU – If you want to use a specific fairy tale, that’s fine but I’m really looking for more of the feel and elements, rather than a specific story. I am very fond of tumbling down castles that hide secrets and enchanted forests. Check out my works for ones I enjoy!

I also love some fusions!

Clue Fusion – Exactly what it sounds like. Whether it involves characters from Clue or just mirrors the setup is up to you. I love the house, the dark and stormy night, the secret, the time limit to figure out who is the killer, and the surprises. My faves are Wadsworth, Miss Scarlet and Mrs. White.

House on Haunted Hill Fusion: Much like Clue and ATTWN, I love the group gathered by a host who has Plans for them and an isolated location, where obviously they can’t just leave. Ghosts are not required, but the trapped until dawn factor is a favorite. I prefer the original with Vincent Price overall, but I do love the builder’s descendant in the 1997 remake. “I lied. The house is alive, we’re all going to die.” I’m good with some people surviving. Running out of Scotch is optional.

Jonny Quest fusion – Including Quest and crew and the gadgets could be a lot of fun. Prefer Classic Quest look but feel free to age them up and include Jade.

And Then There Were None fusion: I love the stranded on the island, why have we all been brought together, mysterious host and circumstances, people getting picked off (you don’t necessarily need to kill them off) vibe of the story. If you have a pair of characters standing in as Vera/Philip from the play version that is a plus.

And crossovers!
I LOVE crossovers, whether you play them straight or cracky. I am more interested in WHAT they do while crossed over as opposed to HOW. Insert your favorite dimensional anomaly here. If you would like to do a He-Man/Visionaries crossover, I am HERE for it.

Crossover: Villain from one fandom is causing trouble in another fandom – I’m good with this being either a case where the villains cooperate OR the villain in the destination fandom is just as annoyed, leading to Heroes & Villains working together.

Cracky Crossovers - Mechanics Not Important Just Get People Together : I don’t care HOW, I care about what they get up to.

I also really love time travel, dimensional travel, multiverse stuff.
Travel Through Alternate Timelines to Get Home: All the fun of what-ifs, but no permanence. Did you read Q-Squared? Everything after “Derailment” would be great for me. Skipping from one timeline to the next? Here for it, whether they just get a glimpse or stay awhile.

Dimension travel to a significantly diverged timeline – Similar to the Canon Divergence AU, only in this one people can go back along the path untraveled back to “current” reality. They aren’t stuck there (well, unless one of them wants to be?)…. Sort of like flirting with canon divergence AUs, or letting you do more than one…

Multiple Universes collide: Cracky hand-waves ahoy! Feel free to McGuffin the EFF out of the mechanism, but I want to get groups of people together who shouldn’t be.

Canon Alternate Reality that was “resolved” persists instead – Tell me what’s going on in the alternate reality! Does it ever bite the canon reality in the ass?

Time Travel Fix-It – Let’s fix the bad thing before it actually happens (without making things worse, please).

Time travel to future where characters are in a relationship – And it convinces them to get together… confidences between past and future selves optional.

Dimension Travel - alternate dimensions where canon events went differently: alternate dimensions where canon events went differently – This one is one of my favorites – what do our people think of the alternate dimensions? What do they think of our people? Feel free to mash a few together.

Dimension Travel - Character is permanently stuck and must adapt to new universe : Exactly what it sounds like. Don’t care about the HOW.

Dimension Travel – counterparts are in a relationship – Yes, make them think about it PLEASE. Maybe they’re in the only timeline where they aren’t together…?

Time Travel – A realizes only towards the end of the adventure that B is their ancestor

Dimension travel - meeting alternate versions of self/friends/antagonists: I love this, especially if they have to work with/against themselves. Either slam a bunch of timelines together (did I mention I just reread Q-Squared?) or one on ones.

Some tropes I enjoy:

Snowed in at a Haunted Hotel – Group of people trapped together, isolated from the outside by the elements (and maybe One of Them is a Killer), having to deal with each other AND there’s a ghost. I love the snowed in, but feel free to have the ghost/haunting not be real (a la Scooby Doo).

Character A is a hockey player and Character B is a figure skater – If you have not seen The Cutting Edge, go do your homework. That’s part of the vibe I’m looking for.

Dinosaurs & Tropical-Type Climate & Flora Survived to Canon – Looking for a lost-world island type thing here (which, of course, canon villains will use in their plots). Including a pterodactyl is a MUST (and either character is picked up in its claws or rides it)! Saber-toothed kitties please?

Female characters don't get put in the fridge – Exactly what it sounds like. Let female badasses be female badasses.

Characters Started Flirting With Each Other "As A Joke" But Now They're Not Really Joking : Just what it sounds like. Is it a joke because people are gossiping? When does one or both realize they aren’t joking…?

kneeling for cunnilingus and then needing to support her legs as they buckle: I don’t need the explicit details necessarily (blow by blow, or rather lick by lick) but more the overall experience and image, the emotional ties, but yes I love this one. Feel free to tie in with “staying quiet”

Outsider POV - Gossip correctly guesses at A/B's secret relationship only to dismiss it as absurd: I live for the “I knew it” moment on this one, and all those times they shook their head because it just couldn’t be…

Stranded at Roadside Motel: (Storm Optional) This can be a venue for case fic or get a room already. I just like the isolation, especially if you work the weather in, and the feeling that anything could happen here, even if it’s only for a night.

That moment after a long night where the bowtie is loose and the sleeves are rolled up: Men in dress shirts that are a little rumpled? Hair that is a little mussed? Neckties that are undone and hanging around their neck? (I also like this with bow ties, btw) Sign me up.

Touch Starved - Character Startled by How Good Being Touched Feels : It’s been a long time since anyone did…

Trying to Stay Quiet Or You'll Get Caught: This is also a good one for established couples, but I am totally here for we have to be quiet – women making little gaspy sobs instead of the scream or moan they really want, muffling oneself in a pillow, kissing your partner so they don’t make noise.

vanishing hitchhiker: I will always love one of these. I’m down for a vanishing hitchhiker in any fandom, any era. I love the whole part where they don’t realize it’s a ghost until the end. If you would like to invoke Resurrection Mary, go for it. I would also consider reverse phantom hitchhikers (ie, the hitchhiker is real, the vehicle is not) as well as places that aren’t really there.

Castaways in Time: I’m a huge Nantucket fan, and this is the heart of the series – waking up and finding yourself out of your own time.

Castaways in Time Have Chance to Go Home: I like the possibilities inherent in this one, especially if some castaways make the decision to stay in their new time. How are they torn? Where is the conflict?

Characters Solving Problems Like The Adults They Are : Pretty much what it says. No hand-wringing or waffling, just Do The Thing (and maybe have feeling about it after), feel free to complain while you’re working. I don’t know who nominated this tag but I loved it. No flailing or Big Mis, just “we need to do the thing, let’s do the thing” energy. Calm, competent and collected.

Country House Party: Feel free to go either Regency or Golden Age of Mystery here. I love groups of people gathered together who don’t go together, being stuck with social formalities, semi-polite snarky shots at each other, and a mystery (optional). Great setting for mystery and romance.

Unhealthy Coping Mechanisms : Coping, but maybe not in the best way. Prefer not super harmful but just not the smartest choice.

"Of course you're part of the team!" : the "of course you're part of the team!" moment that surprises only the character being told this: I love the acceptance, and the whole “you’ve always belonged”.

A&B Trapped in Secret Passage By Friends Who Want A&B to Get Together: Exactly what it sounds like. Sometimes love/lust needs a little help from their friends…

Outsider POV - Would You Two Just Fuck Already? : More than get a room, just get it out of your systems. Or not…. Stop fighting it and just fuck already. On this one, I enjoy other people thinking the same thing about the couple, and maybe doing what they can to make it happen. It doesn’t have to be a casual thing (despite saying just fuck already) but this vibe doesn’t end in “nice sex”.

That one scene from canon but make it sexier: Exactly what it sounds like. Take that moment that for some reason did NOT turn romantic/sexy (even though it was RIGHT THERE RIGHT THERE) and turn it. If you’re a TNG fan, the ending of the Attached episode is the vibe. Or Strange New Worlds S1E2, when the moment is clearly ripe and passed by.

Can't be fixed but they can be managed: If you watched SNW S2E8 this is the truest way to explain PTSD.

Chaotic But Sexy : Trouble but so much fun.

Characters keeping secrets - Technically I Didn't Lie: More like I just forgot to mention…

sparring as foreplay: You know where to go from here – fighting practice that slides to sexy, with that growing awareness on both sides.

Villain and hero both agree hero’s loved one is delightful – Exactly what it sounds like. I do love when heroes and villains find some commonality, especially if the loved one could fall on either side.

Hurt/Comfort – Nightmares – I like the nightmares and the recovery, the soothing, the talking about it until you’re calm and can sleep again, whether your partner does or not. Talk it out and get some help.

Dreams and nightmares – Symbolic and weird and revealing the character’s subconscious – If you’re a B5 fan, then key up Sheridan’s weird dream because that is EXACTLY the vibe I want here. Or the Duck Tales 2017 episode where Glomgold has amnesia, which made my daughter say B5 called and wanted their weird dream back. Also love the bit where they’re sitting there trying to figure out WTF all that was.

The road to hell is paved with good intentions – They meant well, but you know what they say. Also down for people who know that bad things are going to happen but they can’t stop it because it serves the greater good.

Fix-It: I’ll tell you where canon hurt me, you apply the bandaid. Even if it isn’t wrong, sometimes I would have liked a different ending.

intimate makeouts in cars while pulled over in out-of-the-way places: I’m into both the physical and emotional intimacy here. Bonus points if it is raining/storming/other bad weather. Feel free to have them head off into some sort of mystery afterwards where they don’t have Time to Deal with All of That Now.

Pulling someone in by their tie for a kiss: I love how this looks/feels (man wearing the tie, woman doing the kissing), and also here for possessive straightening/fixing of ties.

"For you; it was always me”: I’m particularly fond of seeing this come to a head.

Being Picked Off One by One: I love the tension inherent in this one, especially if they don’t know that the person picking them off is an outsider or not. (I am pretty good either way)

Bored Old Man Faked His Own Death and Left Clues To Frame His Family Members: In other words, what I thought Knives Out was going to be. Feel free to use as a Case Fic setup or fuse your characters into it.

Can't Stop Thinking About It - A Accidentally Sees B Naked: Pretty much what it says. Going back to the moment in their head, trying not to think about it when they see them normally, stammery embarrassed moments.

First Time Seeing Partner Naked: Here I really like the “better/more than I expected” aspect here, the wondering description and the “God I’m so lucky” factor.

Please remember that the length of stuff in the letter does not indicate I like it less – some I just have more built up thoughts on!

He-Man and the Masters of the Universe (1983)

Marlena/Randor (He-Man MOTU 1983)

He-Man | Adam & Marlena (He-Man MOTU 1983)

Sorceress/Man-at-Arms (He-Man MOTU 1983)

So let me say up front, I would extend this to include the Netflix mini-series Revelations and Revolution but you do not need to! I would love a classic Filmation story too!

More in my letter!

Just watched Revolution at Christmas and WOW! Loved it (was a little lukewarm on Adam/Teela but I always have been) but I just want more - classic Filmation or this!

I love Adam/Casta if you feel like dipping into Filmation She-Ra.

Casta/Adam - Whether or not this is a crossover depends on the exchange but I just love these two, and I love how Casta appreciates him.

He-Man | Adam (He-Man MOTU)/Castaspella (She-Ra 1985), See the MOTU sections of the letter for more ideas – if I suggested it there, I’d love it here. I love He-Man and Castaspella together and think it could be excellent to have more. Or if you’re down for a good AU, Adam gets taken instead of Adora, go crazy.

I love Adam and He-Man. I love how he’s conflicted, and how Marlena KNOWS. The whole Rainbow Warrior episode in MOTU, and the moment where she tells him that a mother knows what her son is capable of – that’s one of my favorite movies in the whole series. (Bonus points if you have jokes about comic book characters being what tips Marlena off). Or the moment where Adora is kidnapped and Marlena is tearfully asking him for help. The feels, every time. Or a fic where they visit Earth and Marlena gets to see her home?

Does Marlena being from Earth have anything to do with her children’s special fate?

Randor telling Marlena about Eternian myths/history (could even do a reverse 1001 nights).

Castle Grayskull – is it, as Revelations suggests, the well of all magic on Eternia?

Marlena Glenn is an astronaut from Earth who crashes on Eternia, falls for the king, and never goes home. Oh yeah, and her kids are superheroes.

There is an episode where Eternia and Earth make contact, but it's not the best. So give me a better one! Maybe some sort of rover/probe/space machine ends up on Eternia (yes, I would totally love a happy ending for a little space machine whose battery is running low and it's dark) and this leads to them making contact? I'd love to see Marlena at least visit home, or have vistors from home, or somehow open up communications. This would be great for #6.

I especially like the idea of little space machines. Man-at-Arms could fix and improve it! I would also love the idea that Earth has been looking for Marlena. I'd also love a hint of the two of them sharing mechanical skills?

Or if you want to go a different route, what constellations do the Eternians see? What are their stories? (Maybe one could be the Tiger? or the Champion? or the Falcon? or Duncan's Hammer?) Is Sol visible from Eternia? How do these tie into Eternian myth/history?

The space corridors, one of the really useful plot devices that...could have been used to send a young astronaut home? Is there one that can reach Earth? Pretty open here. Or is there a reason the Sorceress never offers that up?

I am a Man-At-Arms/Sorceress shipper.

I have seen Revelations and Revolution but not the reboot, so if you want to play on that I am in. Obviously the space machine would be more of a probe than a rover, but that is Opportunity focused. I'm good with something more introspective/romantic with the constellations one, and I would enjoy seeing Marlena get a message from home or even the chance to visit.

Jem and the Holograms (Cartoon)

Giselle "Danse" Dvorak & Nadia Dvorak (Jem Cartoon)

Jem | Jerrica Benton & Giselle "Danse" Dvorak (Jem Cartoon)

Jem | Jerrica Benton & Jacqui Benton (Jem Cartoon)

Jem | Jerrica Benton/Rio Pacheco (Jem Cartoon)

So I am here for an OUTRAGEOUS story! I've really been wanting something dealing with Danse and her her mother - do they find her? AU where she was never lost? AU where Jacqui Benton lives? The four our of them together would be.... well, if you're a Jem fan you know. Also here for 10K of Jerrica/Rio and maybe better decisions being made about secrets.

More in letter!

I enjoy when this fandom revels in its Eighties roots, so if you want to involve Unsolved Mysteries or some such, go for it.

Jacqui lives – How would this change dynamics? She can be alive at the time of the story or not, but not have her go down in that plane crash. I like to think she’d be a good addition, and see through all of Eric Raymond’s BS. Feel free to kill Emmett instead…or not.

If you want to write 10K words of totally outrageous 1980s cartoon soap opera, this is the request for you. Flashy, over the top – I am here for it.

I’ve been wanting a deeper look into Danse’s search for her mother – maybe an Unsolved Mystery or something?

But on this one feel free to channel the 80s.

Jem/Rio - You can never go wrong with these two.

Jerrica and Danse seem like they would get along just as well as Jem and Danse do.

One theme here is missing/absent mothers and their daughters. A story where Jacqui lives (how does that change everything?), or Nadia gets found (with happy ending). Or even just these two interacting because they have a lot in common, IMO.

[SAFETY] EPIC - Jorge Rivera-Herrans (Album)

Athena & Odysseus & Penelope & Telemachus (EPIC)

Odysseus/Penelope (EPIC)

So this is the first exchange after I found this one, and Apple Music probably thinks I don't know any other music exists at this point. I've always been an Odysseus/Penelope fan.

More in letter!

I JUST discovered this at Christmas and now it lives in my brain on repeat. Ody/Penelope are a long time pair of mine and yes, just give me more.

It lives in my brain on repeat. I would love anything about Odysseus and Penelope reuniting.

Also, does he ever realize that the man with a trail of bodies is HIM?

I wish I had more to say about this one but… I just love it. Athena’s interactions with all of them (together/separately) would be delightful. Wisdom and Ithaca are my favorite Sagas.

Or just 10K words of Odysseus/Penelope reuniting would be excellent indeed – falling in love all over again. YES, I am completely here for Penelope having initially mixed feelings about her husband’s return or having a little trouble with the aftermath of the suitors – because Penelope knows damn well what could have happened, and has to know that the suitors would have certainly disposed of her son before taking her as part of the spoils after sacking Ithaka, and it’s okay for her to have to work through some of this as long as she stays in love with Odysseus.

[SAFETY] Visionaries: Knights of the Magical Light

Cryotek/Galadria (Visionaries)

I would really love a good long canon-typical plot with romance! The whole thing can be watched on YouTube in a few hours, and it's pretty good!

More in letter.

These are one of my rare pair favorites, anything sexy or sweet will do!

I’ve been requesting this and thinking about them more. Fandom is small, it feels like about five people on AO3 have even heard of it (eps are available online) and there’s a lot of room to play, a lot of depth and room to explore.

I love how evenly matched Cryotek/Galadria are. The whole scene where we see her surprise him (and then they get interrupted by the baddies) is ripe for “like canon but make it sexier”. But in that scene I love how they immediately slide back to back, and she is an asset, not a liability. Please bring the shippiness.

For worldbuilding prompts: New trials at the Shrine? More knights? Are the current ones recruiting like a competition?

There’s a stupid running joke about botanical gardens that is clearly to entertain adults but tell me about it! Perhaps each region has an area, or it ends up being like the Hanging Gardens?

I think something where they are on a joint mission and have to cooperate with Cindarr (who is not really quite so bad as the rest of the crew) would be interesting. What do they think of him? What does he think of them? Channel the tag “Villain and hero both agree that hero’s loved one is delightful” and I am in. Teaming up with their counterparts for Reasons is always entertaining.

How does PTSD affect the characters? How did the collapse of their society impact them? Obviously our characters coped fairly well.

If you feel like going steamy, I have some thoughts as well.

Sparring as foreplay – they hint at it in the first episode, but I feel like it is definitely a thing for them. This is also a great place for “That one scene from canon, but make it sexier”.

Basically what it says. I love that the gruff, stern guy got the girl instead of the usual hero character. I’m totally here for the two of them kicking some ass, getting down, meeting alternate version of themselves, having romantic sexy times. I’m easy to please on this one. Feel free to use one of the cold related prompts, and feel free to turn up the steam

Villain and hero agree – For this, I think it would be interesting to see a scenario where the 2 of them have to work with Cindarr, and have a little bonding post mission.

If you want to cross over with He-Man, don’t let me stop you!

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (TV)

La'an Noonien-Singh/James T. Kirk (SNW)

La'an Noonien-Singh & Manu Noonien-Singh (SNW)

Christopher Pike/Una Chin-Riley | Number One (SNW)

So I'm a longtime Pike/Number One shipper and it is RIGHT THERE.

La'an/James - I love her. I love him. I love them together.

La'an & Manu - AU where the siblings survive together?

For pretty much all of these, head straight to the AU, do not stop at canon, do not collect $200....

I really enjoy the whole crew, but these ships are my focus. AUs are very welcome. Resolving the S2 cliffhanger is very welcome. I thought the teaser clip for S3 was not good. Missing scenes or shore leaves always welcome.

Prompts:

La’an is on Kirk’s Enterprise when they encounter Khan Noonien Singh. I’m very interested in this, especially since she has not killed him once…but might think differently in this round. Also feel free to have him try and exploit their tie. Could be an AU. If you’d like to play with the La’an meets Khan in Space Seed with La’an/James, I am (obviously) here for it, whether they have been together or that’s why they get together.

I would totally be down for a story where La'an is on the ship when Khan gets picked up. Obviously there would be no BS trying to figure out who they were, whether they could trust them, but how would he react to her? I find it really intriguing. La’an being on the Enterprise when they pick up Khan (who’s clearly a known baddie) – how does that go? Maybe they don’t drop him off at Ceti Alpha V? Also sounds like a good opportunity for some La’an/James?

Future Pike’s doomed timeline – if you want to look at how Kirk’s adventures would have gone differently with Pike and crew in charge, be my guest. In my head SNW is starting its own continuity. Maybe let’s not kill people off though…especially Spock? James/La’an appear to be a thing here as well – tell me about it. What all was happening in that alternate timeline before we got dropped into it, or after we leave it. This would be good for La’an/James.

La'an/James get together in S2E9: AU or continuation of what we’ve seen – after all we know Carol and Kirk don’t work out…. I lean towards the AU though. Interested in seeing how his Tarsus 4 background plays in. What Happened in the Alternate Timeline before S1E10 would also be a great place for La’an and James to hook up again. AUs where Carol Marcus is not a thing, maybe?

Joint Mission. Something involving a colony welfare check would provide a great backbone for a story for a couple. TBH, I love these. I am here for the colony needs a rescue. I am here for the colony is shady AF. I am here for pollen that makes everyone stupidly happy. Maybe they even go to rescue a Klingon colony? Is the colony in trouble or are they the trouble? Or what is it like when the ships get together? Do the crews have exchanges and rivalries?

Una/Pike AU: I’m totally here for an AU after the comet episode (they’re so close why didn’t you kiss?). They need a clue brick.

For all 3 couples, feel free to play with the S1E10 stuff or go with something else, especially if you tie into either of the other dimension travel ones. I’d love one where they hook up after realizing how good their counterparts are together. Or maybe an AU where Chris did pick an Eve?

Big Damn Rescue (with a kiss) – I’m here for it, with either side doing the rescuing!

Dimension Travel - alternate dimensions where canon events went differently – meeting your counterparts who are in a relationship? I also really really think they would be good for the AU counterparts (after all, La'an has already met two of his and was involved with at least one). I find the AU counterparts to be very interesting here. Rescuing works well too. The time-traveling descendant could be a lot of fun (I love the vibe of “something so familiar but I can’t put my finger on it” with that one).

That one scene from canon but make it sexier - The end of the comet episode in S1 (the kiss is RIGHT THERE) or James/La’an. The end of S1E2 or S2E3 is what I’d love here.

Essentially, stop pining, solve your issues, and start kissing. I LOVE those field jackets they have on the show, they look heavy and warm and comfy, and good to share.

Ramblings:

Of all the new Trek things, this is my favorite. I'm current on Season 2, and very interested in Season 2 specific stories! Especially what happens after To Be Continued. WHAT DO YOU MEAN “TO BE CONTINUED”?

So let’s talk about Season 2 peeps! The Hippocratic Oath is fuzzy on the subject of kneecaps and throats! Yay Una is back! No, they’re still pushing the Pike/Batel thing (I am not into it, it is not my thing, why does she never eat the fabulous food?). La’an and star-crossed doomed time-travel love. I fly the ship (on Alpha shift). Why is Spock eating bacon? Why is Sam Kirk suddenly missing from the cleanest science lab in history? We finally meet the real Kirk! Kirk meets Spock (and Uhura doesn’t know this is her life for the next 50 years). Cartoon crossover! M’Benga gets away with murder (and can we please leave the PTSD crew ALONE?). All systems stable! Why are we singing? Who’s going to be Gorn chow? WHAT DO YOU MEAN “TO BE CONTINUED”?

Just inject it into my veins. After sitting out several of the newer shows, I dove into this one and please just give me more more more. I think the things I REALLY want to know is, what all was happening in that alternate timeline before we got dropped into it.

I really love this new show, although I am wondering about continuity but NOT REALLY CARING I LOVE THIS CREW.

So this is obviously the one I have the most thoughts on, but don’t feel weird if we didn’t match on it. I’ve been creating for this one quite a bit lately, so it’s just on my mind more.

Something involving Captain Batel and La'an having to interact could be interesting.

So originally, I started watching SNW for Una, because I am a long-time Number One fan. Then I loved La’an as well, and while I’m not a fan of Batel WITH Pike, I don’t dislike her as much as I did. It helps when they flesh things out. This is really my newest favorite thing. Especially James/La'an, who I didn't expect to like so much. So we did noms and all before Tomorrow & Tomorrow & Tomorrow aired and if you’re watching SNW, you’ll understand why I had all the feels about La’an/James. I’m good with using the UEF Kirk instead of the “real” Kirk, or with having that influence the La’an/James relationship. That episode really blew me away I’m always down for a what-if involving Una and the Illyrians, or the universe where Pike/Number One hook up. Or La’an/James because that ep left me wrecked.

Long time Pike/Number One shipper, Like ever since I saw The Cage.. Pike/Una: I ship these two so hard. I am a lifelong shipper for these two. Hook me up with something good – sweet and/or sexy! I’ve been a Pike/Number One shipper since the first time I saw The Cage (in the 90s, I think) and I want to see how these two would play it.

Huge James/La’an shipper. I didn’t expect to like them so much but believe me, I do.

I am personally on the SNW doesn’t have to lead to our TOS train – I am totally okay with assuming it spins out/plays out differently. If you want to get inspired by TOS episodes, go right ahead. I kind of wish that they had called the Gorn something else, because I feel like it would make things stronger.

Can't be fixed but they can be managed – So seriously, S2E8 is one of the best things on PTSD I have ever seen. And the line about how some things break in a way that can never be fixed, just maintained – show me.

Stranded on a Deserted Spacestation – Is it a mission? Is it just bad luck? Why are the scanners picking up a weird signal? Maybe it ties to time travel.

And yes, the bridge crew is capital-N Nosy so good luck keeping it a secret.

I have a favorite character and it isn't who I thought it would be... More interpersonal stuff! Sam and La'an interacting. Fix-it fic for James/La'an. No-fun girl squad shenanigans.

A story where the Noonien-Singh siblings both survive and join Starfleet would be delightful. How would having him there on the Enterprise change things?
