Malcolm being a badass like he's meant to be.

Star Trek Enterprise “Chosen Realm”

Based on a prompt from the Enterprise Fans server, wanting to see badass Hoshi in action, underestimated by the MACOs, to their regret.

Hoshi overhears MACOs talking smack about Enterprise's crew and its tactical officer. She's not one to let that kind of insult slide.

Ooooh, MOAR questions!

share some personal wisdom or a life hack you swear on

Carry snack packs and muesli bars in your car to hand out to homeless people; sometimes it's the only meal they'll get all day.

Otherwise, in a country with frequent load-shedding, I keep bottles of water frozen in my chest freezer (usually 5 litres each) so when the power goes out, the frozen water goes into the fridge. It keeps everything cool enough for about 18 hours of downtime. I realise that not everyone can do this, but if you can - worth it.

what made you choose your username?

I love daisies and I dig skulls. But the fun kind. And rainbows. So when I went on a graphic design course and had to design a logo, I chose Deadhead Daisy (also deadheading a daisy bush allows for more prolific flower growth so I get a pun on top of it). It sat on my hard drive for years until I decided to use it in lieu of my regular profile, which just doesn't speak to me any longer.

@glitter-and-metal's Malcolm Reed video using the song Rim Tim Tagi Dim by Baby Lasagna. Every word in that sentence should indicate why I adore this piece, but just in case not - it uses some of my favourite scenes to some freaking awesome music to shine a light on my blorbo and show off his BAMFness (and in that wisp scene, Dominic's acting chops). I have watched it an unhealthy number of times, including while getting the link for this answer...

Thanks for the ask!

Reblogging again because why not?

Malcolm Reed 2x06 “Marauders”

[deadheaddaisy]

Chief of Security in his natural element.

Lieutenant Reed

[deadheaddaisy]

You really, REALLY need to read this! Because Malcolm Reed is a badass.

Lieutenant Malcolm Reed has a knack for encountering strange situations that require quick thinking. Very quickly, he earns the reputation of ‘A Man You Absolutely Do NOT Want To Cross.’

If you want to read about Malcolm throwing random things to save the day, look no further. There's a spork involved. Don't ask.

[deadheaddaisy]

THINGS. I shall list them for better reading purposes:

THE UNIFORMS ALL THOSE POCKETS

Hoshi becoming more confident

Malcolm becoming more open and mischievous

the bridge crew plus Phlox

The NX-01

Malcolm teasing Hoshi about frostbite in a deleted scene

pineapple (you *know* Malcolm eats pineapple on pizza, don't try and convince me of anything different)

Malcolm eating ALL THE THINGS

Silent Enemy and the engineering/armoury teams installing phase cannons to show up Jupiter Station

Sleeping Dogs and Malcolm's heart eyes when Hoshi wants to blow up all the torpedoes at once

Marauders (Sniper Reed & Badass Hoshi) with Hoshi making Malcolm proud when she shows off her phase rifle skills

Vox Sola and the banter between Rostov and Kelly (my rarepair)

Shockwave 2 and Malcolm taking a beating to save the ship

T'Pol & Trip's banter

Sunshine Travis & his friendship with Malcolm

Trip & Malcolm's friendship

Actually the bridge crew's friendships as a whole

Hoshi catching the Pyrithian Bat

Malcolm imitating Trip's accent

Phlox and his menagerie and how he tortures Malcolm with his creatures to heal him

Babel One/United/The Aenar, Affliction/Divergence and yes, Demons/Terra Prime (they got theirs)

the gym scenes

The NX-02 and Erica Hernandez and THAT WARP SCENE with Trip and Malcolm

Hoshi kicking ass when training with the MACOs

Malcolm & Hayes brawl

Dead Stop, The Breach, Similitude, E2, The Catwalk, Doctor's Orders, Proving Ground

I would say Chosen Realm but it fills me with blind rage for 2/3 of the episode so maybe just the end of that one

T'Pol and Hoshi forming a friendship after early antagonism

Hoshi defending Phlox

Hoshi slyly teasing T'Pol about Trip

Malcolm & Travis defending Phlox

Shran being Shran. Even when he's being a total little asshole.

Shran roasting Archer virtually every time they meet

The Kumari

Faith of the Heart

shut up I like it

The end title music

This is not everything but I should probably stop now

Your turn. Help me look like less of a weirdo!

star trek: enterprise fans, list your favourite thing about the show, go

[deadheaddaisy]

Thanks for the tag, @papercranesong 💜- these are so fun.

1 . What ratings do you write most of your fics under?

Apparently mostly G at 10 (who knew?), followed by E (7) and then Teen & Up (6).

2. What are your top three fandoms?

So far I've only published for Star Trek: Enterprise (22) with a co-authorship for a fic in The Mummy universe. I have fandoms I plan to add, but nothing's published yet.

3. What is the top character you write about?

It's a tie between Hoshi Sato and Malcolm Reed at 21 each.

4. What are your top 3 pairings?

Malcolm Reed/Hoshi Sato (14) Fairly evenly split with Malcolm Reed & Hoshi Sato (10) (because sometimes they're not actually in a romantic relationship) And then at barely a sliver of either of those comes Malcolm Reed & Charles "Trip" Tucker III (2)

5. What are your top 3 additional tags?

Banter (12) Happy (11) I will go down with this ship  (11)

6. Does any of this surprise you?

Only the ratings, because frankly I thought I had fewer than 5 Gen, not a good half of my fics. Otherwise, nope, all according to plan.

7. Favourite tag you've used?

Like the one you're with - I firmly believe that romantic love isn't the be-all and end-all of anything so I make my characters actually enjoy being with each other, whether platonic or romantic. Angst goes here to die because it makes me smile. And whenever I can, BAMF Hoshi Sato / BAMF Malcolm Reed.

Tagging @more-better-words @mirabilefuturum @ten-cent-sleuth @curator-on-ao3 @anretc and anyone else who'd like to answer!

Tagged by @ionamalachite thanks so much! I love tag games, especially ones about my fics lol!

1 . What ratings do you write most of your fics under?

I mostly rate my fics T to be safe, but I have a fair amount of Gs as well.

2. What are your top three fandoms?

Star Trek: Enterprise (174)

Desmond's (16)

Back to the Future (14)

Yes I know, big gap.

3. What is the top character you write about?

No surprise, it's Malcolm Reed at 157 fics.

4. What are your top 3 pairings?

I'm going to assume these mean romantic pairings only.

Malcolm Reed/Charles "Trip" Tucker III (57)

Lee Stanley/Tony (Desmond's) (10)

T'Pol/Charles "Trip" Tucker III (8)

If we're including friendships as well, Malcolm & Trip and Doc Brown & Marty McFly actually take places 2 and 3.

5. What are your top 3 additional tags?

Angst (124)

Hurt/Comfort (63)

Fluff (53)

6. Does any of this surprise you?

I'm surprised Fluff is so high in my additional tags tbh.

7. Favorite tag you've used?

I loved discovering that "Self-Imposed Time Loop" was a tag someone else had used before me. I also love using "Malcolm Reed Needs a Hug" and "Hurt Malcolm Reed" >:)

This is the exact expression I imagine on Malcolm's face as Hoshi's taking down the meatheads.

Based on a prompt from the Enterprise Fans server, wanting to see badass Hoshi in action, underestimated by the MACOs, to their regret.

Hoshi overhears MACOs talking smack about Enterprise's crew and its tactical officer. She's not one to let that kind of insult slide.
