Space Swap 2025

[desertvixen]

 

My general preferences are here.

 

My DNW: unrequested mundane AU | female characters in fridges | non-con | violent dub-con | graphic violence | gore | graphic sexual violence | cruelty/death to animals | cruelty/death to children | requested character death | unrelieved grimdark | bigotry by the good guys | first or second POV | reader fic | ABO | soulbonds | wildly OOC in a non-cracky way

 

My SMUT DNW: creampies | the word “cunt” | anal | hate each other out of bed | underage | incest

 

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

 

I love treats!

 

 

 

 

Vorkosigan Saga - Lois McMaster Bujold 

Tej Arqua Vorpatril & Delia Galeni (VK Saga)

Tej Arqua Vorpatril & Aral Vorkosigan (VK Saga)

Tej Arqua Vorpatril/Ivan Vorpatril (VK Saga)

 

Worldbuilding: Discovering a Lost Colony (VK saga)

Worldbuilding: Barrayaran Period Dramas (VK Saga)

 

Tej is one of my favorite later characters - not what I imagined for Ivan (yes, long standing Ivan fan) but somehow perfect for him!

 

For the two worldbuilding prompts, I'd prefer if you could use the requested characters as well.

 

More in my letter!

 

I'm a huge Ivan fangirl and love Tej, so anything for them is good. Same for Duv/Delia, and feel free to combine!

I'm also interested in how Delia and Tej (and Laisa?) all get along with their different perspectives.

 

I think Aral would love Tej, and I would love to see some stuff between the two of them that touches on Ivan. 

 

Barrayaran Period Dramas. Tej starts watching the equivalent of Downton Abbey set during the Time of Isolation or Regency. She's hooked but Ivan and Alys may not be. Alternately, Alys has a guilty habit of watching them (and possibly critiquing them). I'm also down for a treatment of over the top costume drama on these periods. Bonus points if you have characters based on Alys and Padma in it (with her critique). Perhaps Tej gets Laisa interested as well?  Feel free to have Cordelia put in her contribution as well! 

Obviously those dramas should be lavish fashion and maybe not so lavish history... Feel free to insert Duv Galeni rolling his eyes at popular history.  Think Downton Abbey, or maybe even a little crackier.  Delia has to sneak over and watch with Tej because otherwise Duv will ruin everything with a lecture.  Alys tsking over indelicate subjects.  Cordelia making comments on casting (especially if they cast someone who’s too pretty/conventionally attractive as her and Aral). 

I’d also be down for scathing reviews/discussion of Barrayaran period drama (Cordelia and Alys nitpicking portrayals of their lives could be good!) or Cordelia and Alys dropping some truth about how it used to be.  I’m envisioning something like Downton Abbey but Vorish.  Pretender-era dramas?  Cordelia and Alys and Drou nitpicking casting (they should definitely cast someone too smooth to play Aral).  Not to mention Duv complaining about the history.  I am interested in Delia and Tej. Maybe Delia has a very guilty pleasure of period dramas?

 

For the lost colony one, is there a specific reason people think the Barrayarans should be the ones to check it out?  Or do the Barrayarans find them?

 

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

 

Marlena (MOTU 1983)

 

Randor/Marlena (MOTU 1983)

Marlena & Adam | He-Man (MOTU 1983)

Man-at-Arms & Marlena (MOTU 1983)

Sorceress of Castle Grayskull & Marlena (MOTU 1983)

 

Earth astronauts on Eternia (MOTU 1983)

Earth-Eternia Contact (MOTU 1983)

Constellations of Eternia (MOTU 1983)

 

So as long as the story involves Marlena, the Astronaut Queen, I am there.

 

Much more in the letter!

 

So I was sort of expecting to have to defend this one, because He-Man and Space Swap?  But the facts are pretty clear.

 

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.  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?

 

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 was Opportunity-inspired.  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.

 

Earth and Eternia make real contact.

 

Crossover Fandom 

 

Margaret "Hot Lips" Houlihan (MASH) & Christine Chapel (SNW)

Benjamin Franklin "Hawkeye" Pierce (MASH) & Leonard "Bones" McCoy (TOS)

Benjamin Franklin "Hawkeye" Pierce (MASH) & Beverly Crusher (TNG)

 

Marlena Glenn (He-Man MOTU 1983) & Amanda Grayson (TOS)

 

Adam | He-Man (He-Man MOTU 1983)/Castaspella (She-Ra 1985)

 

Some of these are a little cracky but I am less about how they get crossed over, and more about what happens when they do.

 

MASH/Star Trek will probably involve time travel but these characters’ dedication to medicine can’t be confined to one timeline!  I just think they would be fun!

 

So in case it’s not obvious, Queen Marlena in He-Man is my favorite character AND she’s an astronaut and she would probably enjoy meeting this crew. Marlena and Amanda could trade some advice?  Do they know who she is?  Is Starfleet from a different Earth?  Just roll with it.

 

Adam/Castaspella – I just love the vibe these two have with each other, how Adam doesn’t have to hide on Eternia.

 

 

 

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (TV) 

 

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

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

Sam Kirk & La'an Noonien-Singh (ST:SNW)

La'an Noonien-Singh & Erica Ortegas & Sam Kirk & Joseph M'Benga (ST:SNW)

Christopher Pike/Una Chin-Riley (ST:SNW)

 

What Happened in the Alternate Timeline before S1E10 (ST: SNW)

 

I love this show. So much! I didn't expect to like La'an so much but here we are.

 

I'm also an old-school Pike/Number One shipper.

 

And I LOVE a good (fix-it) AU.

 

More in letter.

 

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”?

 

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.

 

La’an & Sam: Interested in how they interact. Play it into La’an wanting to weasel out more info about James or not.  Also, when does Sam realize he is never getting away from little brother?

 

Erica & M'Benga & Sam & La'an: What happens after the end of S2E10? – So once we realized what had happened, my only thought was how the Gorn captured themselves the wrong group of people… How does that work out for them? Feel free to include people developing coping mechanisms that aren’t the healthiest (if M’Benga channeled the Elysian Kingdom I would be there for that). Obviously want this crew to live.

 

La'an/James: 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…

 

Pike/Una:  I ship these two so hard.  I am a lifelong shipper for these two.  Hook me up with some thing 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.  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.

 

Any combining any and all of these  is just fine!

 

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.

 

If you’d like to play with the La’an meets Khan in Space Seed with La’an/James, I am here for 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.

 

 

Star Trek Crossovers - Fandom 

 

Relationship: Spock (Vulcan Academy Murders)/Nyota Uhura (TOS)

Relationship: Leonard "Bones" McCoy (TOS) & Christine Chapel (SNW)

 Relationship: Elizabeth Shelby (ST NF) & La'an Noonien-Singh (SNW)

Relationship: Alynna Nechayev (TNG) & Beverly Crusher (PIC)

Relationship: La'an Noonien-Singh (SNW) & Khan Noonien Singh (TOS)

Relationship: Jack Crusher (PIC) & Track A Jack Crusher (Q-Squared)

Relationship: Elizabeth Shelby (ST NF) & Una Chin-Riley (SNW)

Relationship: Ael t'Rllaillieu (Rihannsu) & Christopher Pike (SNW)

Relationship: Jack Crusher (TNG) & Jack Crusher (PIC)

 

It's not about how they get crossed over, but what happens!

 

Some of these are a little obscure, but all of them could be fun.

 

More in my letter.

 

VAM Spock/TOS Nyota: I think this would be an interesting place to start this relationship, especially with Spock's experiences in the book...

 

TOS Bones and SNW Chapel looks like some chaotic sexy sarcastic sparks about to strike.

 

 Elizabeth & Una (and/or La’an if you like) – The no fun badasses get together thru time travel.  Bonus points if you work in Mac/Shelby and Una/Chris.

 

For either of the 2 Jack Crusher crossovers, anything goes? 

 

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?

 

SNW crossovers involving Ael: I want to see how she would interact with this crew.  Obviously the timelines don’t add up but I am totally here for crazy time-travel multiverse.

 

 

Alynna Nechayev – down for my favorite admiral having an adventure with Admiral Crusher (feel free to include TNG Crusher as well, see crazy time travel shenanigans)!  I’m also down for future Nechayev.
