My general preferences are here.

 

Scroll down for my Star Trek preferences.
 

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

 

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

 

I am very open to treats, beam them aboard!

 

I really love this challenge.  Please know that you can NEVER go wrong with a crossover or mutli-verse crossover (Infinite Spocks in Infinite Timelines?  JUST SMASH EVERYONE TOGETHER AND WAVE YOUR HANDS) and a little cracky is juuuuust right.  I like serious too, but sometimes I am down for "And then, somehow, Palpatine returned" so we can get to the characters doing their thing.  A big “save the multiverse mission” followed by the loudest party ever would be ACES.

Just have fun!

Christine Chapel (SNW) & Cherry Ames (Cherry Ames novels)

 

More in letter but essentially this is the crack crossovers prompt. I don't really care about mechanics, so wave those hands!

 

So this would be the total crack slot.  (I mean, if you want to approach it in a serious mode, I would NOT say no, but these all feel a little cracky to me.)

 

Voltron meets TOS or SNW – I just think it could be interesting.  Allura dealing with Sarek or La’an intrigues me.  Trek characters getting to pilot the Lions?  Sarek dealing with Allura as an equal?  Pike cooking for the team?

 

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 on how best to support your son through his unique challenges.  Marlena and La’an share a certain energy to get the mission accomplished that I like.

 

MASH meets Trek: So if you’’ve seen the image of Hawkeye  in Starfleet blue, that helped inspire this.  Also the deliberate callouts to MASH in SNW s2e8 (can Radar hear the transporter?) made me think this could be interesting.  Also the Margaret and Dehner one could be fun as the actress who played Margaret in the (very way different from the show if you have not seen it) movie is the actress who played Dehner.

 

Christine and Cherry Ames: Whether you go with Cherry Ames, Starship nurse, or somehow take Christine back to the past, I am IN.

Imzadi - Peter David 

 

Admiral William T. Riker/Deanna Troi (Imzadi)

 

More in letter but essentially, when the Admiral goes back to his timeline and Deanna is there... tell me what happens next!

 

So at the end of the book when Will gets back to where he is supposed to be and can feel Deanna, how does he find that future is changed?  A reunion scene for them would be delightful, feel free to work the others in as well.

Walker Keel & Beverly Crusher (TNG)

Beverly Crusher & Tasha Yar (TNG)

 

Ro Laren & Tasha Yar (TNG)

 

Natasha Yar/Richard Castillo (TNG)

 

More in letter but I clearly have a few favorite characters.

 

Alynna Nechayev - I just love her.

 

Ben Maxwell - Intriguing character.

 

Beverly Crusher - I am a huge fan.

 

Elizabeth Shelby - I love her.

 

Ro Laren - Not served well by the story, but I love her.

 

Natasha Yar - Let her live.

 

I do have one specific request if you go the Yar/Castillo route. I would love a riff on the part where he says if they do make it back, and she sees an older man giving her a strange look - I would LOVE for this to happen but it is the main timeline Natasha, not the one with a really bad haircut.

 

Please note that I am definitely a Picard/Crusher and Riker/Troi shipper, if you want to include that as background.  I did not request either in this one because I’ve requested alternate versions of them, but feel free to play in.

 

Please also note that for Next Gen, I prefer you imagine the movies (and to a certain extent Picard) just do not exist.  Characters I particularly liked didn’t fare so well in the movies(i.e., the women and the whole death by fire/Nexus thing).

 

So my personal headcanon post “Preemptive Strike” is that Ro did not really defect but I working for Starfleet Intel (not Section 31) and Nechayev.  Feel free to play with that idea – how did she recruit Ro?  Also in my Nechayev headcanon, she would have been a captain during the Cardassian war era and there is no love lost there.  For Alynna and Beverly, either some sort of diplomatic mission gone wrong or a more formal event could be good.

 

Ben Maxwell – I thought this was a really interesting portrayal of a character with some PTSD (and the fact that he was right – I LOVE the last scene with Picard and Gul Macet where he lets Macet know we’re on to your game but are not breaking the peace).  How do we find a place for him.  How might he and Ro get on (perhaps at the Academy for her advanced tactics training)?  Also the ship is in my headcanon for Nechayev.

 

Tasha Yar – I’d be here for an AU where she lives.  How would that impact the stories later on?  How might she and Ro get on?  Also the Yar/Castillo story in the request would be delightful (especially if she feels drawn to him but doesn’t quite understand WHY).

 

Beverly – last but CERTAINLY not least.  I’d love to see something with and Ro and/or Tasha in sort of a mentoring role (sounds like a great place for some of those late night bridge shifts we know Beverly takes).  Maybe a Disaster style story?  The three of them on an away mission?  For Walker Keel, something more personal?  For Shelby, some sort of bonding after the Borg defeat?

 

The Past is Not Forgotten by DesertVixen

Reunion - Michael Jan Friedman 

 

Beverly Crusher & Gilaad Ben Zoma (Reunion Novel)

Beverly Crusher/Jack Crusher (Reunion novel)

Jean-Luc Picard/Beverly Crusher (Reunion Novel)

 

More in letter, but what I really want is a continuation where Beverly and Picard get their act together, in this timeline.

 

So what happens after for P/C? Tell me that story, but feel free to mix in the rest of the Stargazer crew.

 

I reread this one last year and I love how he hints at the P/C, how they’ve got the remembered angst, Jack’s death, all of that.  Let them move past it now.  Where do they go from where they are?  Especially Pug telling about Jack’s death, which I am willing to bet he did NOT tell Beverly.

 

Beverly & Gilaad could be interesting as well, either him teasing her OR the two of them combining to tease Picard.

 

 

Track Change by DesertVixen

Q-Squared - Peter David 

 

Track A Natasha Yar & Track B Worf (Q-Squared)

Track B Jean-Luc Picard/Track B Beverly Crusher (Q-Squared)

Track B William Riker/Track B Deanna Troi (Q-Squared)

Track B Jean-Luc Picard & Track A Jack Crusher (Q-Squared)

 

More in letter but essentially I want to know what happens NEXT.

 

P/C Angst with some resolution? Mail it to my address!

 

So at the end of the book, we once again have the P/C stand-down... but what if we didn't? What if they talked about what happened? What if they made some of those dreams come true (i.e. bang)? Or, you know the whole moment where Picard isn't sure which Beverly died? Like, I'll be here for you to tell me any of these stories. Or how crazy it is to glimpse a different future. 

 

So yes, that “moment that cuts across moments” at the end.  Feel free to go back to that.  Feel free to DO SOMETHING with it.  The whole not knowing which Beverly was gone, and letting that be a catalyst to feelings?  I’m right here with you.

 

The same essentially for Will/Deanna, especially since they MET their counterparts.

 

Tasha and Worf – It would have been nice if they could have some more interactions, especially since Worf clued in on what was happening quicker than others (based on his Parallels experience).  Or maybe each reflecting on it back in their respective realities?

 

B Picard and A Jack – A way for it to end without Jack killing himself?

More in letter, but I do not care about mechanics - wave those hands and focus on the story. Essentially all of of these really interest me.

 

All 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, and if you pick Spock, contemplating how he is different from the Spock she knows is totally welcome.

 

Alynna Nechayev – down for my favorite admiral having an adventure with my favorite doctor (see crazy time travel shenanigans)!  With Beverly, I’m also down for future Nechayev, but include the younger version in these.  I feel like it would have been much better if she got Clancy’s line to Picard.

 

Medical Crossovers – While I have received a lovely story where McCoy is an instructor at the Academy when Crusher is a student, I’d love a story where these two are being badasses together at their primes.  Feel free to mix and match among this group, because I think they could all get on well and HEAL people.  M’Benga and Beverly, I think, would get on VERY VERY well.

 

TOS Bones & SNW Chapel: I think these two would be chaotic sarcastic sexy fun.

 

Elizabeth & Una & La’an – The no fun badass squad gets together thru time travel.  Bonus points if you work in Mac/Shelby and Una/Chris.

 

Jack & Jack: Maybe as part of Q testing him?  Either of these could be really entertaining.

 

La’an & Khan: So I would totally be down for a story where La'an is on the ship when Khan gets picked up. Up to you if we slide the event forward to Pike's time or have her on the ship, but I think it would be really interesting. I’d really be interested in how La’an handles this.  Obviously there would be no BS trying to figure out who he is, whether they could trust him, 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?

 

TOS Crew & SNW La’an: I think this could be fun.  For this one, I would treat SNW as an alternate reality and not a past.  I think La’an and “beam a phaser rifle down” Spock could match energy in a delightful way, and a more confident Uhura might be a good foil.  Tamura also seems like she would be a fun match.

 

La’an & Ro: I think this could be fun, since they both have unique baggage.

 

VAM Spock/TOS Nyota: I think this would be an interesting place to start this relationship, especially with Spock's experiences in the book...  Technically this might be more of a fusion, but I just think it would be fun.

 

Soleta & SNW or TOS:  Logical time travel shenanigans? La’an and Soleta would likely get on well. 

 

Note: While I’m fine with Soleta BEING half-Romulan, I didn’t care for the weird turn it took in the books.

 

Changing Paradigms by DesertVixen

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (TV) 

 

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

UEF James T. Kirk & UEF Nyota Uhura (SNW)

UEF James T. Kirk & James T. Kirk (SNW)

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

 

So La'an is the character I didn't realize I was going to love, along with UEF Kirk. I'd love a story where her brother is also alive.

 

Do Kirk and Uhura's UEF counterparts have a similar relationship? And how would Kirk deal with...well, Kirk?

 

Of all the new ST things, this is my favorite. I intially was 100% here for Una and Pike and Spock but La'an really grew on me!

 

I'm current on Season 2, and very interested in Season 2 specific stories! Especially what happens after 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”?

 

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.

 

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.

 

I read the comic and was kind of Meh.

 

I just realized I neglect to pick Number One/Pike but I am a lifelong shipper for these two, so if you want to work that into any of your background GO AHEAD.

 

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…. If you decide to do the Kirk & Kirk one, I am here for you to factor this ship in.  I didn’t really want a whole La’an & M’Benga story but if you want to use them as part of your background go for it.  (Also, La’an totally knows what went down in S2E8.  And she understands the final line of that episode.  Some broken things can’t be fixed, only maintained.  That’s a super good take on the PTSD issue, honestly.)

 

Kirk & UEF Kirk: They have to work together (please see all earlier notes re: mechanics and hand-waving).  Everyone else probably has to hold on.

 

UEF Kirk & UEF Uhura: in s2e6, Kirk and Uhura form a pretty quick bond.  How close are their UEF counterparts? 

 

La’an and Manu: An AU where he lives?  How would having a sibling change things?   Feel free to include Khan as well, if you like.  Manu seems intriguing, from what we see – he’s smart and brave.  Or perhaps he somehow did not get eaten?

I really enjoyed these up to about books 8-10. I'd love some more stories about them!

 

Hi yes I was a mid 90s-2000s PAD fan girl.

 

I initially loved this scrappy little crew of one-shots returning and mixing with some PAD originals (like the SFA books). The first 8 or so are my jam. The next couple books were okay, but I did not like some of the later trends at all (like the whole deal with Soleta joining the Romulans). I wrote a sadly lost to the ravages of time fanfic about Mark helping Soleta out with Pon Farr. I really enjoyed Soleta.

 

I really really loved how Shelby was developed (although I enjoyed Kat Mueller as well).

I enjoyed Mac making Jellico crazy. I included Nechayev into this set because I also love her, and enjoy her watching Mac make Jellico crazy.  A friend and I used to have a whole headcanon that Nechayev & Jellico had served together before, and trauma turned him into a jerk.

 

I love Elizabeth getting frustrated with Mac, and him enjoying it.  (I did not enjoy Eppy as a nickname)

 

I love Soleta being all cool and calm and yet willing to embrace the craziness because it gets stuff done.  I also love her easiness with Mark.  I would love a Mark helps Soleta with her Pon Farr fics? 

 

Feel free to include Nechayev, who definitely has a soft spot for Mac and not Jellico.

So while I enjoyed S3, I was not happy with what we got for some of the female characters. A little fix it or interaction would be great! More in letter.

 

So last year I called this Take Some Things Out Of The Fridge, and yes.  Please do!

 

Yay, female badasses! Wait, what are you doing to them?

 

I'm very here for AUs.

 

Yes, why did we get these returning characters and they got done badly?  AU, Fix-It, whatever, hook me up.

 

Ro & Elizabeth: They could be a lot of fun.  Shelby almost got what was going wrong before yeah. 

 

Or just more about Shelby!  Feel free to expand on her New Frontier time!

 

Beverly & Ro getting a moment would have been nice. Or maybe they have run into each other out there before…
