Bones:

Summary:

Bones was wrapping up his day when he returned to sickbay and found a very loud, strange visitor there. She claims to be from the future. Not sure what else to do, he offers her a drink.

Preview of the story below:

“What the fuck!”

Suppressing a roll of his eyes, McCoy lets go of his deck and drops the padd. “Now listen here, I understand-” His lecture is cut off mid-sentence as he sees a fur-covered, cat person standing in the midst of his sickbay. While the bright orange tones in her fur were eye-catching the Starfleet medical uniform she sports is what McCoy focuses on.

Whoever she was, the stranger was currently in the middle of jumping up and down. Her fists swing wildly at the ceiling, as her ears press down against her head. A string of obscenities left her mouth as naturally as air.

McCoy walks backward out of sickbay. As closes the door in front of him, he checks his vitals. All clear. Which means this couldn’t possibly be a hallucination. Then again, this is the Enterprise. Who knows what space craziness has found them down? Bones opens the door again. As the door slides open he finds himself face to face with the other doctor.

Her large, round, yellow cat eyes contract. “Holy shit! I’m stuck in the past!” Quickly, she turns on her heels. She grabs her head with both hands and lets out a very loud, frustrated scream.

This story was written for Trektober 2023. Day 4's prompt was Other Trek Crossovers so I decided to do one with two CMOs. Trektober is hosted on the blog @trektober-challenge

Two old friends are retiring from Starfleet.

#Trektober Day 4, "Other Trek Crossover". Pretty sure Riker talked about gambling with Quark at some point so I like the idea of getting Data involved. Geordi can read the cards for tongo but doesn't understand the rules and is getting increasingly worried.

@trektober-challenge Day 4: Other Trek Crossover

I’ve always liked to believe that AOS Jim found a way to give Spock Prime a happily ever after.

Fanbinding: Speculative Cardassian Reproductive Xenobiology by tinsnip

One of the prompts for Day 4 of @trektober-challenge is Alien Anatomy, so I thought it would be fun to do a quick bind of @tinsnip's classic Speculative Cardassian Reproductive Xenobiology!

This was made using perfect binding, the binding method used for paperbacks, although the cover is technically cloth (HYANG faux crocodile leather in Holographic Peacock Blue Iridescence, backed with paper). The textblock is printed on 4 x 6" index cards. The fonts on the title page are DS9 Title and DS9 Credits from st-minutiae.com, and most of the rest of the text is 11 point Sabon.

Thank you for tagging me, @ectogeo-rebubbles, you know how much I love a tag game!

Little Joys in the Middle of a Tragedy (Bashir/Garak, M, WIP) It was an after-thought in an already overladen meeting. Julian’s mind was only partly on the conversation; while his colleagues debated mining the wormhole, he mentally combed through the staff roster.

c/GulManners (the space reddit fic) Link to the letter itself is in the autofeed- this post is just for discussion. I want to know: what do we think grandfather was involved in?

Comparative Literature (dialogue only Garak & Worf) “Frankly, I’m surprised you agreed to this."

This is my own, my native land! (Bashir/Garak, a post-canon Cardassia vignette) “You hated it.” 

Stand Beside Me In The Mirror (the creepy alt!Garak one) Being stunned always gave Julian a dry mouth.

Trektober Day #31: Spooky/Supernatural & Trapped Together (Dax & Kira, G, 168 words) "Ghosts aren't real," Jadzia said, although she sounded less certain this time.

Trektober Day #30: Time Loop / Mentors (Dax character study, 158 words) The relationship is recursive by the time Ezri tracks Ben down. A Dax, a Sisko, a mentorship.

Odo's Rounds, chapter 4 (very short snippets of Odo trying to do his job) Quark was leaning on the counter, chin propped in his hands.

Trektober Day #26: Academy Era (Dax & Bashir, G, 210 words) They were already a fair number of drinks in, or she wouldn't have asked.

Imzadi (Riker/Troi, a no dialogue drabble) It's odd, still being able to read someone thoughts so intimately after you've decided to no longer be intimate at all.

If I remember correctly, there's more variation than the last time I tried this, when all my first lines were dialogue. This time round I've got dialogue, description, and even some abstract thinking. I still clearly love a good in medias res, which is hands down the easiest way to write.

I know some of you have already done this but I do not know who off the top of my head! @rusblk? @thoughts-i-have-had-in-passing? @hellostuffedtiger? @philosopherking1887? But as always if you want to, consider yourself tagged and tag me so I can see it!

Spocktober + Trektober Day 4 - Other Trek Crossover

I haven't watched SNW yet, but I heard Boimler has a massive crush on Spock and I love the Lower Decks art style, so!

(ID under cut)

[Image ID: A black and white drawing of Spock and Boimler from Star Trek, drawn in the style of Lower Decks.

Boimler is gazing at Spock with a lovestruck expression, hearts in his eyes and around his head. One of his legs is popped and he's clasping his hands next to his face. Spock is looking down at a PADD, ignoring him.

Above the drawing is written "Trektober" and "Day 4 - Other Trek Crossover." Below it is written "@aerialworms" and "Spocktober"./End ID]

Also please feel free to submit prompt suggestions here:

I didn't make November 1st-3rd an option since I wanted to give everyone a few days after trektober to relax before the event would potentially begin.

A Lifetime Amongst Stars - Katrina Cornwell/Marie Batel

A/N: Day 4 for @trektober-challenge, general prompts.

Marie Batel would have usually fought retirement, but since falling in love with Katrina ‘Kat’ Cornwell, she found the idea of retirement almost good. She would be free to continue a lifetime amongst the stars and she would be free, finally, to spend her life, the rest of it at the least, with Kat. Katrina, much as she had allowed Marie her own thoughts, had smiled proudly when Marie announced she intended to retire, intended to leave Starfleet in safe hands and live her life peacefully, what nobody saw was Marie sneaking away with Katrina for a quiet drink once the official work was done. They would be free by the end of the year.

Trektober Day 4 - Promotion

"Nooooo, not agaiiin" 😫

😏

Guess who saw the new episode and restarted the fanfic they were in the middle of! Me. Where are all my fellow Beckett/Sito shippers at?

I wrote this for trektober 2023 Day 26: Academy Era.

Summary:

Beckett Mariner is ready to ace everything the Starfleet Academy could throw at her. Or she was, until she meets Sito. How can one girl be so perfect? At everything?! Beckett feels the need to step up her game as her and Sito grow closer.

Preview of story:

In an almost tragically overused cliche, the moment Beckett blinks she collides with something.

A large thud, lets her know it was most likely a person. Damn. Bad first impressions are the worst. Cringing at the upcoming confrontation, Mariner opens one eye first.

A shorter, blonde bajoran was on her knees. Her bag was on the grass, its contents covering the space between Beckett’s feet and the bajoran’s knees. Well, she didn’t seem pissed. That's a plus.

“Are you alright?” A padd with schematics of the academy’s trainer crafts was closest to her feet.

“Yes.”

Mariner crouches down and picks up the padd. “Man, I’m sorry. I was just in a rush and,” her voice drifts off as the stranger’s hand rubs against her own. Soft, short fingers pull the padd free from her hold. “I was in a rush,” Beckett repeats staring into the bajoran’s eyes. Whoa, those are some green eyes. Or were they more hazel?

“That’s alright.” The stranger easily shrugs off Mariner’s worries. So no confrontation? Cool. “First day jitters and all that.”

"I modeled myself after this perfect friend." - Beckett Mariner Season 4 Episode 9 of Lower Decks.

This line was all I needed to start a multi-chapter one-sided crush fic.

trektober day 4: retirement

“Stop fidgeting.”

Miles huffed, tapping his fingers on his thighs. “Stop fussing,” he retorted. Keiko just tsked and adjusted his collar for the umpteenth time.

Across the room, Kira hid a grin in her champagne flute, and Deanna Troi sent him an amused glance. The back of Miles’ neck burned with nerves and embarrassment, but he didn’t pull away from his wife’s ministrations.

“It’s your retirement party, I want you to look nice,” Keiko said breezily. “Don’t look so nervous, everything’s going great.”

“Except my wardrobe, apparently,” Miles muttered, but she wasn’t wrong. The smaller, more intimate party that had stayed after the ceremony was mingling and chatting, enjoying the food and the music. Worf and Data were listening intently to Captain Picard saying something about grapes, and Nog was regaling Jake and Captain Sisko with tales from his first deep space mission. Miles’ whole life was in that room- his wife and children, and all the people who had changed and bettered his life through his career.

Well, all except one. Miles told himself he wasn’t bothered.

Keiko finished smoothing his collar to her satisfaction, and Miles squeezed her hand. She smiled up at him.

“He’ll be here,” she said, a knowing glint in her eye as Miles glanced at the door. He gave her a blank look, and she rolled her eyes.

“I don’t know who you mean,” Miles blustered.

“Sorry we’re late!” Keiko’s eye roll intensified as Miles’ entire face lit up. Julian and Ezri strode into the room, Ezri looking frazzled and Julian as boyish as ever. Greetings swept through the group and the DS9 crew swarmed around, passing drinks and hugs until everyone had their fill.

Julian went straight for Miles and pulled him into a hug, and Miles didn’t bother pretending to be gruff about it. “Congratulations, Chief,” Julian said, and pulled away to raise a glass.

“To Miles O’Brien, a job well done.”

————-

this also vaguely fills the crossover prompt

I hope Miles gets a big party when he finally retires. And that he doesn’t get kidnapped from it. He has a poor record for kidnapping though.

So, say someone was like... 4 days late, would you mind if they caught up and did the rest of the months challenges?

We don't mind at all!

Trektober is open to anyone, at any time during the month. You can fill one prompt, or many, on the day, after the day, even before the day! The only real rule is to create, and to enjoy it!
