Star Trek Discovery Character's Christmas Photos (Day 1) Santa Hat Version

[startrekwintergiftexchange]

Hi! This was so fun to be a part last time. Are you planning to host one this season?

Babes, I'm excited to share that the gift exchange will be back this year!

I've been out of commission for most of the fall due to walking pneumonia, a cracked rib from coughing, and then starting a new job 🙃 But I'm healthy now and needing more Trek!

Watch the blog for date announcements!

[startrekwintergiftexchange]

My pinch hit gift for the @startrekwintergiftexchange! @it-spirk-to-me requested a bloody Kirk defending Spock, and I could NOT get Dermot Kennedy's "Outnumbered" out of my head when thinking about this prompt, so a lyric collage it is! I hope you enjoy your belated gift 🎁

[startrekwintergiftexchange]

a @startrekwintergiftexchange gift for @solo-by-choice! she asked for something featuring uhura and so i made a fanmix inspired by her! happy trekmas! 🖖🥰

[startrekwintergiftexchange]

For @rubbertplant for the @startrekwintergiftexchange

Hope you enjoy! Sorry it's late but I jumped into pinch hit, and did the prompt "TOS: Spock and McCoy being drama queens about the cold".

[startrekwintergiftexchange]

a gift for @shaa-ki, who asked for seven x raffi! i made you a fanmix inspired by them, which you can find here. happy trekmas, and thanks again @startrekwintergiftexchange for hosting! it's been fun! 🖖😊

[startrekwintergiftexchange]

@startrekwintergiftexchange @xazliin

Written as a pinch-hit for the lovely @xazliin, for the prompt of TOS Kirk/Spock on an away mission :)

I hope you like!

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Julian Bashir/Elim Garak Characters: Julian Bashir, Elim Garak Additional Tags: For being such a brilliant doctor our dear julian can be very daft, I decided to go easy on him this time though Summary:

Garak has noticed Julian’s been a bit of a workaholic lately and endeavors to fix that with a date. A variation on a theme of “first date” which was the prompt given, considering I feel like they already kinda had one (if not multiple) in the show. ;) But in this case at least everyone is absolutely sure of all the rules of the game. In a manner of speaking. Timeline? Uhm. Wibbly wobbly. Pre-Ezri (not because I have anything against her in fact I really like her it’s just easier on my brain). Other than that, who knows!

for @lonelymoonrambles for @startrekwintergiftexchange I was a pitch hitter ergo it being like really super duper late. Apologies for that. I hope you enjoy either way. :’)

@startrekwintergiftexchange gift for @yourbuerokrat2 Sorry for the delay... hope it was worth the wait! :)

Arroz con leche

@procrastinatorproject

Arroz con leche Me quiero casar

Space, as Agnes has found out pretty early on during her stay on La Sierena, was mostly empty. Which was not really surprising considering it was called space. And an emotion that could always catch someone offguard when contemplating a little bit too much about it in a philosophical and not purely scientifical way, was loneliness. And while she preferred to keep her mind busy by thinking and rambling about the actual facts, she found out that Cristóbal Rios sometimes preferred to talk about the philosophical ankle. Which was also not all that surprising considering the kind of books she would catch him reading from time to time.

Con una señorita que sepa bailar.

Agnes Jurati was a bit of an awkward dancer and as much as Rios had reassured her that he would teach her, it had been quite a while since he had last danced with anyone. They had quickly found out that while both of them failed at the more traditionally european dances, the Cueca was just fine with them . After a couple of tries that is.

Que sepa coser Que sepa planchar

He reminded her of a pirate but not one of those historically accurate pirates but the ones as shown in books she may or may not have read at one time in her life. Rogueishly handsome, a thief unbound by the duties that come with being tied to organizations  like Starfleet.

Rios thought she was cute with the way she rambled on about whatever came to her mind during their conversations , he thought she was pretty every time she smiled and he knew she smart.

Both had thought that the other was unattainable and that their shared kisses and nights were never meant to last.

Neither of them could believe their luck that it did.  

Que sepa abrir la puerta Para ir a jugar.

It was… nice to lay besides someone familiar every night. To lay beside someone you could trust and who you knew doesn’t judge you for the things you did and did not do. Who did not ask when you woke up in the middle of the night with the name of someone long since dead on your lips. Rios in particular always started to sing the to her now all to familiar lullaby. Agnes  too had tried to help him with it when she was woken up by his nightmares. When she had done it the first time however, it had earned her a laugh. Apparently even though she had memorized the text perfectly her prononciation was horrible. She got better at it over the years though.

Arroz con leche Me quiero casar

Agnes was just happy that Rios never seemed to mind that he ended up marrying a woman who did not exactly fit the description of the woman in the song.

Pinterest moodboard of falling in love with your best friend via holosuite dates

A nifty little thing I put together for the @startrekwintergiftexchange to be gifted to @nonbinaryezrabridger !!!! They asked very kindly for Bashir/O'Brien holosuite stuff (with optional Keiko) and uhhh yeah!

I'm so so so sorry that this is so late past the official date, post holiday depression hit me HARD and it's not great paired with class work and chronic illness,,, but all things considered, I still had a lot of fun putting this together and figuring out what silly little scenarios to put these guys into! Thank you so much for the opportunity to do this and thank you for being so gracious and waiting for your gift!

[startrekwintergiftexchange]

Thanks for your patience!

We've got about 11 gifts still to go, and if you're one of the recipients waiting, thank you so much for your patience. With so much sickness going around, there have been a lot of delays.

But those final gifts are coming!

(If you're nervous you're not getting one or are afraid you missed yours, don't hesitate to send me a message!)

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Star Trek: Picard, Star Trek: La Sirena Rating: General Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Laris/Zhaban (Star Trek), Agnes Jurati/Cristobal Rios (background), Laris & the Motley Crew Characters: Laris (Star Trek), Zhaban (Star Trek), Elnor (Star Trek), Soji Asha, Cristóbal Rios, Agnes Jurati, Raffi Musiker, Seven of Nine, Jean-Luc Picard, various villagers from La Barre Additional Tags: Slice of Life, Humor, Fluff, and fluffy snow, Post-Season/Series 01, Found Family, Breakfast at Château Picard, Laris is cold, Zhaban is amused, Rios is tired, and everybody else is just extremely excited about the snow

Laris doesn’t like the cold. And it doesn’t help that everybody seems determined to lose their minds over a bit of snow.

Happy Star Trek Winter Gift Exchange, @midgeonsmidgeon!

Thank you for your prompt! I had an absolute blast writing this! Laris and Zhaban are such brilliant characters, and Laris and Rios are absolutely hilarious together. I think I’ll have to come back to Laris and Rios quite a bit in the future, their interactions were just so much fun to write!

I hope the Momulan vibes and wintery fun can make up for the delay in getting this finsihed 😅 Sorry about that, exam season has eaten my brain 🙈

But all the better to have a bit of time away with a romp through snowy Château Picard and all the found family vibes. I hope you’ll get some joy out of it as well ✨🖖⛄

And a big thank you to @startrekwintergiftexchange for organizing this fest and being so patient with all of the various delays 😅 Seriously, this event is amazing, and I really enjoyed participating! Thank you so much!
