A Domestic Life - Katrina Cornwell/Beverly Crusher

A/N: Day 11 for @trektober-challenge 's General Prompts.

“Did you always want pets?” Katrina asks the question lightly, finger running softly over the tiny kitten’s fur. “Not until I had… settled down… no… but when we had a home… I knew I needed a pet to keep me company…” “She’s beautiful Beverly…” Beverly smiles, leans to kiss Katrina softly. “Well, I’ll let you two get used to each other…. Since I plan to move you in soon…. Admiral Katrina Cornwell, Retired.” Katrina laughs softly, then gently strokes the kitten’s fur again. “You sure you didn’t just want your Kat to have a Kitten?” “Busted…” Beverly laughs softly. “You do like her though… don’t you?” “I love her, almost as much as my beautiful fiancée.” Kat teases, kissing Beverly softly. “Soon to be wife and cat mother.”

[p-redux]

So are we still thinking this is a coincidence? This is the THIRD timw in the last few months that Katrina Komitsch is in the same city as Sam Heughan.

Sam is back in Los Angeles ahead of his fan meet and greet for Sassenach Tour, which will take place this Sunday, Sept. 3. And LOOK who is in L.A. as well. 👇

That's Beverly Hills. Rodeo Dr. And Wilshire Blvd. Verra expensive part of town.

She was recently in Las Vegas at the same time as Sam. And she was recently in New Orleans at the same time as Sam.

It could be a coincidence, but, one more city in common, I'm giving them 👀

[curator-on-ao3]

So since the idea won't let me be: Katrina meeting Laris after basically being spat out of space and time on Chateau Picard's doorstep? (Bonus if it just descends into Laris basically caretaking Katrina into talking to her about her thoughts/stresses even as Laris does... idk... something (Massage/Plaits her hair?)... that makes her relax a little bit.)

What a great prompt, @borg-queer! 💕 Thank you so much!

I ended up posting the resulting Katrina Cornwell/Laris ficlet, your Katrina Cornwell/Beverly Crusher prompt, plus some Kirsten Clancy/Katrina Cornwell I already had written, and a dash of Una Chin-Riley/Katrina Cornwell that needed to get out of my head and onto pixels. Soooo, I present The Contented Kat ficlet collection with all four(ish) mini-stories:

State of the Archive

Busy busy. Everything's going okay, though I would like to remind new folks to read the posting rules under the FAQs, because we're not AO3 and follow a different set of tagging rules. The June Review Hunt is over, with Gibraltar and David Falkayn as our winners. Congrats, fellas!

The July Review Hunt is now open. All you have to do to participate is sign your name/penname up for it, since largely it's automated. Reviews 15+ words count, with the same points modifiers as usual. IE, 100-199 being +10, and then +50 for any first review on a story over twenty-five words and +25 for any second. So, if you want to join, let me know. No weekly challenge this week.

For some, the holidays are all about frankincense and myrrh, while for others, they're all about Hallmark hunks and her. If you fall into the latter camp, you may want to make like Santa and get thee to New Jersey this December.

Christmas Con New Jersey has already revealed plans to reunite the cast of National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation — Chevy Chase, Beverly D'Angelo, Randy Quaid and Juliette Lewis will all be there — along with 15 fan-favorite actors from across the Hallmark, Great American Family and Lifetime holiday cinematic universe. But PEOPLE now gets to exclusively reveal 14 more stars set to take the stage.

Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixon: Move over. We're about to unleash our own list of Santa's helpers.

Melissa Joan Hart, Alicia Witt and Catherine Bell will be joined by fellow festive ladies Nikki DeLoach, Erin Cahill, Melissa Claire Egan, Danica McKellar, Katrina Law and Brooke D'Orsay.

As for the gents, Cameron Mathison, Kristoffer Polaha, Jesse Hutch, Will Kemp and Wes Brown will be decking, er, walking the halls of the Expo Center.

This lineup means a number of this year's holiday movie costars will be at the event together. D'Orsay and Kemp are paired up for A Not So Royal Christmas. The already announced Lacey Chabert will get to see Brown, her Haul Out the Holly: Lit Up costar.

And Cahill and Bell will get to say hello to their Christmas on Cherry Lane costar Jonathan Bennett.

Meanwhile. here's hoping Great American Family actors McKellar and Jen Lilley bring their dancing shoes. McKellar will be cutting a rug next month in Swing into Romance, while Lilley is costarring with Matthew Morrison in the upcoming A Paris Christmas Waltz.

Other stars previously announced include the Three Wise Men and a Baby gents — Tyler Hynes, Andrew Walker, and Paul Campbell — as well as Kimberley Sustad, Victor Webster, Cindy Busby, Brennan Elliott, Autumn Reeser, Taylor Cole, Steve Lund, Jesse Metcalfe and Benjamin Ayres (Romance University gear, anyone?).

In addition to the stars Christmas Con is a winter wonderland complete with a tree lighting, a holiday market full of local artists and vendors, photo ops and other activities.

Christmas Con 2023 takes place Dec. 8–10 at the New Jersey Expo Center in Edison, New Jersey. Ticket information can be found here.

Warnings: none this is angst and fluff

summary: you are a secret spy to track where is Catarina Rodriguez because she stole all Carlos money you were sent by Carlos and you leave Beverly valley to go to Paris to find Catarina, but little do you know during your mission you fell in love with her.

You work as a spy for Carlos Rodriguez. You were just sitting down minding Ur business in your small office in Rodriguez industry until Carlos came in and requested something you to do something for him.

“Hey, I need to request you to do something for me “Carlos said.

“Sure, what is it “you asked.

“Remember my ex-wife, Catarina?” Carlos said.

Carlos told you a lot of Catarina off how she ran away with an Egyptian prince. You felt bad for Cinnamon and Carlos, and you thought that Catarina is a bad person.

“What about her?” You asked.

“She stole 10K from me and she ran away so I need you to go to Paris and track her down for me “Carlos said.

You nodded in response without hesitation. You do as what he said because you are getting paid anyways.

“Great so you will take this earbud so I can tell you what to do and you leave tomorrow so you can leave work early today to park and always remember stick to the plan” Carlos said handing you the earbuds.

You left the Rodriguez industry workplace and head to your house and started to pack you packed almost your whole wardrobe cause you don’t know how long you're staying in Paris.

After 44 minutes you finished packing lay on your bed exhausted you eventually fell asleep.

the next day.

you woke up and went to get ready today is your flight to Paris on a mission you remember Carlos gave you a private jet so after getting ready you just took your luggage and went to the private jet.

after 5 hours, you reached Paris you decided to go to the bakery to buy croissant and a coffee for yourself once you pay you bumped into someone spilling your coffee on that person.

“I am so sorry “you said looking up just to find it was Catarina Rodriguez and she looked pissed.

“ excuse me do you know how expensive this dress is oh wait you won’t “ Catarina said in an angry tone.

“who are you? You look familiar?” Katrina asked.

You started to panic you were supposed to spy on her and track her down you haven’t even put the earbuds on because you just landed you tried to walk past her, but she stopped you.

“Answer my question “Catarina said in serious tone.

You have flashback on one year ago when your new to your job and cinnamon is giving you advice.

Flashback:

“One more rule of being a secret spy is when any rich people asked who you are just say you are a nobody because they couldn’t care less because we rich “Cinnamon said.

end of flashback

“I am a nobody you should care about because you couldn’t care less “you said.

“Yeah, you are right, but you still owe me for my dress “Catarina said before walking away.

You realized you were supposed to spy on Catarina, so you ran up to her stopped her.

“Is there anything I can do to owe it up to you?” You asked forcing a fake smile.

you already knew this gonna end up worst but you have no choice

“ Hmm be my maid because my old maid i fired her she was useless” Catarina said.

You were starting to regret it but it was part of the plan if she lets you in her house you can find the money.

“ sure why not “ you said faking a smile.

“ Great come to my house and if you do anything stupid I fire you got it ?” Catarina said her face was close to you for a second .

you were just staring at her you never knew she was this beautiful wait you are falling in love with her? No, you thought to yourself you are on a mission.

" Hey, are you just going to stand there and look like an Idiot or are you coming?" Catarina said making you snapped out of your thoughts.

She rolled her eyes and went to her limo as you followed her. While in the limo you took the earbuds and wore it and Catarina is just staring at you it looks like she is still suspecting you.

The whole ride was awkward and uncomfortable but finally you reached to her mansion perfect now you just have to find where the money is to take it and go.

You thought it will be simple but oh this is just the beginning.

You got out of the limo and Catarina lead you to your room It was big and you did not expect it.

"This is your room and remember I could ruin your life if you tried to betray me" Catarina said.

"Enough chit-chatting time for you to do your job" Catarina said before leaving room.

" Hello?" Carlos said in the earbuds.

"Yes?' You asked.

"Is everything going according to plan?" Carlos asked.

"Everything is going according to plan, but I must be a maid" you said.

You went downstairs started mopping the floor for 3 hours because the house is too big. You went on Instagram for a while until you came across a post it was your ex-girlfriend who betrayed you by cheating on you. You sighed. You loved her but she betrayed you.

You wanted to cry so you just ran to the bathroom but on your way, you bumped into Catarina. You look up and apologize.

" Watch where you are going" Catarina said but you just ignored her tears were blurring your vision.

Catarina noticed and hugged you. You were shocked she is mean, but she still has a heart deep down. You were falling deeply in love but you have to stick to plan.

"Carry on cleaning" Catarina said walking away.

You went to the bathroom to take your phone out, but it was not in your pocket you panicked.

You just decided to take the money first and go find your phone. You remember there was an office and they money must be hidden there, so you sneakily went to her office.

You were right there was a safe but what is the password. But before you could even guess the password someone put their hand cover your mouth causing you to scream but you dozed off.

You woke up and your heading is hurting. You look around only to find yourself surrounded by men in a cabin.

" Where am I?" You asked but the men did not answer you.

"Oh, I am sure you know why you are here" A familiar voice said.

It was Catarina Rodriguez and at this point you knew she found out about your plan.

"You see I knew you look familiar so when you were secretly talking to my ex-husband it clicked then I remembered that day at Rodriguez industry workplace I went there to steal Carlos's money and saw you but did not think much of it." Catarina said smirking.

"Oh, and you were looking for this?" Catarina said taking your phone out.

" How did you even unlock my phone?" You asked her.

"Oh, I have my ways" Catarina said.

"Kill her" Catarina order her men.

" What?" You asked.

"You know I actually trusted you, but you betrayed I told you I can ruin you." Catarina said.

You untied yourself and beat up those men. You could not do this job anymore, so you just wanted to confess your feelings to Catarina. Catarina just stomped out the cabin. You ran out to catch up to her.

" Catarina please wait" You shouted catching your breath.

"What do you want now? You betrayed me so leave me alone" Catarina said crossing her arms.

"That was before I really know you" you said.

"What do you mean?" Catarina said.

This is it you thought to yourself you going to confess to her.

"I never believed in love after my ex-girlfriend but when I met you I started to believe in love" you said.

"What? "Catarina asked.

" I am in love with you Catarina, and I do not want to continue bring a spy for Carlos." You confessed.

" Look I know you won't love me back but I-" Before you could finished.

Catarina just kissed you and you do not know say or do.

"I love you too" Catarina said hugging you.

You have quit being a spy and live your life with Catarina Rodriguez.
