[rikerxworf]

Thanks to your positive responses to last year’s event, we’re going to have another Worfriker Secret Santa gift exchange! This is a small event to celebrate fellow creators and fans of the pairing Worf/Riker from Star Trek: The Next Generation.

On Christmas Day, each participant will gift a fanwork to another and receive a gift in return. Your gift can be any type of fanwork, be it fanfiction, art, graphics, photography, gif sets, moodboards, videos, playlists, recipes, anything! The only requirements are a) it must be created for this exchange and b) it must focus on Worfriker.

More info under the cut!

.

‧⁺✧ Participation ♡°‧

You must have a tumblr account and/or an AO3 account.

Fill out this sign up form with your personal wishlist.

If desired, you have the possibility to list things you do not want to create or receive as a gift.

You will receive a message from me by November 25th, letting you know who your giftee is.

If you are unsure about your giftee’s wishlist or just want to say hello, feel free to anonymously message them! always remember, a secret santa’s whole thing is to only reveal your name on Christmas Day!

Feel free to combine different types of fanwork for your gift, for example a moodboard that comes with a playlist, or a recipe that is included in a little ficlet — anything goes!

Finish your fanwork before December 25th…

…and post it to your blog and/or the AO3 collection on Christmas Day, tag your giftee and this blog so I can reblog it ♡

.

‧⁺✧ Wishlists ♡°‧

Examples for wishlists could be “something warm and fluffy” or “coffeeshop AU + Worf with long hair as a first choice, alternatively something angsty” or “domestic vibes including Alexander” or “first three choices: first kiss, romantic smut, holodeck malfunction” or “poetry” etc.

If you want something specific, please give your secret santa several options to choose from, as seen above. However based on experience, it is better to keep your wishes more general and abstract.

Just because this is a “secret santa” event doesn’t mean the work has to be holiday/Christmas themed. Consideration of Worf’s Jewish upbringing is encouraged.

Receiving and/or creating 18+ content is only allowed for participants who are over the age of 18!

When creating your wishlist, please do not ask for specific forms of fanwork i.e. “I want a gif set”. Not everybody has the recources to do every type of fanwork + this is a low level event with probably only a little number of participants, so if your wishlist is too specific it will be hard for me to find you a secret santa.

.

‧⁺✧ Timeline ♡°‧

Sign ups close on November 22nd.

You receive your secret santa mission details by November 25th.

If you cannot complete your gift in time, please message your giftee ANONYMOUSLY to inform them they’ll receive their gift a little bit later. This is common courtesy.

If you cannot complete your gift AT ALL, please back out before December 17th so that I have enough time to find a replacement or pinch-hitter.

And finally: gifts dropping on December 25th!

.

There is no upper or lower limit on your Secret Santa creation. Just make sure that it is the best you can do with the time you have and that you create something you think will make your giftee happy!

Please keep in mind: While I included a pinch-hitter option in the sign up form, there is no 100% guarantee that everyone will receive their gift on Christmas Day. Sometimes real life just happens, especially in these times, so please have patience with your secret santa!

Just message me in case there are any problems or questions — remember, this is all in good fun ♡

IMPORTANT QUESTION! kenryo or kouryo? (Well i’m assuming it’s kenryo because your header and icon on the other account xd) Hh i personally prefer kenryo BUT HOLY HECK THAT ALBUM COVER. RYO. YOUR GAY IS SHOWING STO-

OMG ANON-SAN!!! Sorry for the super late reply ^^; I tend to answer asks on weekends when I have time to use my PC for a long time ^^

Anyway, under the cut just so it doesn’t look too long XD

I’d go with… KenRyo~! What can I say~ I’m a sucker for friendships that have a different dynamic XD They definitely balance each other’s personalities out in a lot of different ways! I guess, in a way, they’re each other’s pillar of support.

Ryota’s attitude is definitely a lot to take in but Kensuke can handle him pretty well. They know of each other’s weaknesses and sensitivities. Kensuke’s even perceptive and compassionate enough not to mention it when he sees Ryo being troubled by something, specially when he doesn’t want his weakness to show. Ken’s able to help cheer him up in subtle ways that won’t “offend” Ryo in any way whatsoever. Ryota’s not a person that’s vocal when it comes to things he likes but Ken’s the opposite~! Ryo and Ken are able to actually confide in each other and are at ease when they’re together~ 

Though, I’m not saying that I don’t like KouRyo! I love it, too orz KenRyo just weighs more to me ww Ryo’s unconditional admiration and loyalty to Koki will always be a special thing since I think Ryota has troubles actually getting close with others, what with him being aware of his own personality and all. And I think, the fact that Koki can accept him even though Ryo has things he has to work on (personality-wise), makes him even more special to Ryota. 

ALSO, YESS!!! TSUKIPRO REALLY GAVE US, THE GAYS, WHAT WE WANTED!! It all started with Hidden Eclipse and now look at where it’s gotten everyone wwww

GDI, TsukiPro, just take all my money please ♡ ～(‘▽^人)

Star Trek: Schism Chapter Three (Bones x Reader)

(Header made by me. All photos belong to their respective owners.)

Pairing: AOS Dr. Leonard “Bones” McCoy/Reader

Summary: Ever since the Academy, Bones has known that Lieutenant Commander Y/N Y/L/N was not the ordinary security chief. Something about her secretive, aloof nature and red-tape-coated files make him more than a little wary of her friendship. When the core of the Federation is shaken, she’ll have to cope as her friends realize that some secrets are better off buried in the past.

Warnings: Minor character death, violent attack, damage, a character jumping out of a building, language, mild sexual innuendo

A/N: I tried to balance fluff and angst in this chapter, because I’ve thrown a lot at y’all this week. Enjoy this 3000 word chapter with a couple more WW influences!

Star Trek: Schism

<Previous Next>

Chapter Three: Galatea

The Bones Debacle was not the issue you wanted to deal with the most in the exact moment you left the Starfleet Administration building. You had far more important things on your mind: Archanis missing? The Themyscira Zone attacked? A simple quarrel with a nosy and handsome doctor didn’t feel like the most pressing thing in your life at all, so you kept your head down and walked at a somewhat quicker pace than normal in the direction of your San Francisco apartment.

“Y/N, wait,” Bones jogged to keep your peace, but you kept your eyes ahead of you.

“Doctor, I’m not in the mood.”

“Dammit, I’m here to apologize!”

You pursed your lips and quirked your eyebrows, “That’s a first.” He huffed as you slowed, giving him an opening to catch his breath.

“Yeah, well...wait a second, you don’t think I’m that stubborn, do you?”

He looked sincerely concerned that you might think so lowly of him, so you quickly mended his incorrect assumption, “Oh, I think you’re something, Doctor. I just...now isn’t really the time. Do you think we could have this discussion later?”

“I-“ he looked like he wanted to argue and push on your evasiveness, but he suddenly noticed that you hadn’t released the iron grip on your hat since you had acknowledged him. “Y/N...did something happen in there? Are you...did Pike say something to you about that whole ‘secondary assignment’ thing?”

Your knee-jerk defensive response caught in your throat. If McCoy hadn’t been looking at you with that sincere concern all medical division officers had, it would have been a lot easier to coldly shut down his further questions.

“More or less,” you stopped walking altogether and looked away as you spoke. “It’s above your clearance grade, of course...but I messed up. I didn’t think ahead enough a few years ago, and I left something somewhere that wasn’t safe enough.”

“But you’re not in any serious trouble?”

“I’m not...physically. Yet,” you admitted. That only seemed to make him more confused, but he placed a comforting hand on your shoulder.

“I don’t really know what that means, but if you need someone to talk to...about whatever you can, I guess...I’ll listen.”

If you knew at all what affection felt like, you’d say it felt like the doctor’s hand on your shoulder.

You felt like it might be proper to thank him for his offer, but both of your attentions were pulled away at the sight of a slump-shouldered Jim Kirk sulking out of the Admin building with his eyes steely and laser-pointed on the ground.

“Jim!” Bones waved the blond over, and Kirk straightened his frame and plastered a smile on at the two of you.

“Hey Bones,” he smirked. “Did I walk in on a moment?”

You rolled your eyes as Bones let out a very tired sigh.

“Not the time, Jim. You doing alright?”

Jim opened his mouth, but his cheery mask cracked, revealing frustration and sadness behind his eyes.

“The admiralty’s taken the Enterprise from me because of Nibiru. I...I’m required to go back to the Academy.”

Your jaw dropped as Bones’ eyes widened almost comically.

“Oh no. Hell no. You are not leaving me in that death vacuum with that green-blooded hobgoblin!” The doctor griped.

“Don’t act like you’ll be all on your own. I’m sure Y/N will be happy to give her favorite doctor some extra special attention.”

“Keep talking and you’re gonna need a doctor,” you deadpanned as Bones flushed in the corner of your eye.

“How long do you think it’ll take before you get back out in the black?” Bones shook his head and reentered the conversation.

Jim shrugged his shoulders and looked off to the side, trying to keep his sadness limited to his eyes, “It’ll only be a year or two of classes...but I definitely won’t get the Enterprise back right away once I’m done, if Pike has anything to say about it.”

You frowned with a huff, “That’s it, there’s been too much shit today. I say we all grab a drink tonight and try to relax.”

“I definitely won’t turn away a drink,” Bones seconded. Jim seemed to hesitate, not quite in his usual upbeat mood, but after a moment, he nodded in agreement.

“I guess I won’t be seeing you guys for a while, anyway,” he said. “Might as well enjoy a night or two together before we get split up.”

For once, Jim was 100% right. It may not have been the time to bring up that you might also be called away from the Enterprise, but you were not the pressing matter. The pressing matter was maintaining unity, even in the face of less-than-fortunate events.

Unity, after all, was a pleasant alternative to your previous work experience.

-

You and Bones, of course, didn’t pry at Jim when he went to sit at the bar-- something about giving you and Bones space to play nice-- but it was clear that he just wanted the privacy to think.

“He’s heartbroken,” Bones sighed. “The poor kid never meant any harm, dammit.”

“Nobody with a good heart ever does,” you fingered the rim of your own drink, staring into the red liquid with London on your mind. You could feel hazel eyes on your neck, but you didn’t want to talk about it.

If you had your choice, you’d never talk about it ever again.

“I don’t know what Pike spoke to you about,” he said quietly, “but I’m starting to think it has something to do with that thing you can’t tell anyone about.”

You didn’t respond right away, instead saying after a moment, “Dance with me, Leonard.”

“You know I don’t dance,” his eyebrows quirked.

“Then humor me,” you smirked in response. He sighed, not budging, though it didn’t take him long to offer his hand and walk you to an open space in the bar, wrapping his long arms loosely around your waist and swaying you to the music. The muscles in his shoulders were toned in your hands, and you gently traced your thumb back and forth along one as you spoke to him.

“Listen...first and foremost, I want you to know that I completely understand you being...edgy about my file. Certain Starfleet Academy instructors were wary of it, too. I’m not mad at you...now, at least.”

“Y/N-”

“No, let me finish,” your voice was gentle but firm. “I joined Starfleet to protect the galaxy...to protect the beauty that’s out there waiting to be discovered...only problem is, looking closer can reveal lots of darker things underneath. My file is kept private because there are lots of things I’m not ready for the crew to know about me.”

His brow furrowed as he looked at you, hazel eyes clouded with concern, “Darlin’...nobody’s gonna think any less of you.”

You offered a sad smile, “That’s a nice thought.”

You had grabbed at the doctor’s hands on enough away missions to know that they had at least some callouses from the repeated use of hyposprays on patients, but his fingers felt softer as they lazily traced on your back. Everything about him had softened. You weren’t sure whether to feel flattered or make a quip about him getting mushy on you; it all melted away under his sincere gaze.

He may have his stubborn moments, but you could never ask for a sweeter friend than Leonard McCoy.

“I used to not trust you so much,” he admitted, voice low and intimate in spite of the crowded setting, “but I was wrong. You...I know you feel very protective of the crew. It’s something I can respect and sure as hell relate to. If all you ask from me is not to pry, I can most certainly uphold that request.”

Up close, it occurred to Leonard that you had a very pretty smile, “I appreciate that. Thank you, Doctor McCoy. Perhaps we’re due to start over?”

“Gladly,” he warmly returned your gesture. “I’m Leonard McCoy, CMO of the USS Enterprise.”

“Y/N Y/L/N. Security officer and tactical analyst of the USS Enterprise….”

It felt a little wrong, acting like you were certain you were staying without any updates from Pike, but you were feeling selfish, swaying slowly in a little black dress with a handsome doctor with dimples and strong hands and lovely crinkles at his eyes when he smiled. You could take a moment to be selfish.

“Lieutenant Commander,” Pike’s voice jolted you off Cloud Nine and made you turn your head and step back just the slightest from Bones, “and Doctor McCoy. Enjoying shore leave?”

Wipe that smile off your face, you little shit of a dadmiral, you thought.

Instead, you smiled politely and said, “We are. I think after Nibiru, all of us senior officers deserve a little relaxation. Looking for Jim?”

“Both of you, actually, though my message for you is shorter,” he said, adjusting the grip of the cane in his hand. “Admiral Marcus has called a meeting of senior personnel...on the matter we discussed earlier. He’s asked me to ensure that you can be there tomorrow evening.”

“Yes, sir,” you nodded. “Jim’s at the bar, since you’re looking.”

“Of course. Don’t let me interrupt,” he nodded with a knowing smile and headed towards the bar.

“How serious is it?” Bones asked with a grim expression. You almost sighed. That was it; the magic spell was broken, and you two were back to being colleagues concerned about each other’s lives and not how soft one another’s lips looked.

“It’s high-level,” you measured your words. “Something...out of protocol happened that involves my previous position. Don’t worry about it.”

He gave you a chagrined look, “I always worry about you.” His hands moved back to his sides and you instantly missed the sensation, but you squeezed one as you responded honestly.

“I know.”

-

Instead of your standard Starfleet dress grays, you instead selected your unmarked, black intelligence uniform. After all, you hadn’t been invited as a captain, admiral, or commander-- it wouldn’t make sense to pretend to be one. You kept your back straight and your chin up as you walked into the Admin building, though you were surprised to see Jim Kirk there, speaking with Admiral Pike, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed in dress grays.

Actually, surprised wasn’t the right word for it. More like deeply concerned and shaken by his appearance in this setting where your previous position may be a topic of interest.

That’s not really one word, but it fit better than surprised.

You kept your composure as you caught Jim in the elevator.

“Jim?” you asked. “What are you doing here?”

“Pike gave me the opportunity to work back on the Enterprise under him for this mission, Admiral Marcus called this briefing meeting for high-ranking officers only...what are you doing here? What’s with the outfit?”

You responded coolly, “Admiral Marcus called me in for this briefing. It has to do with my former division.”

He gave you a look, but you ignored it well enough that he didn’t question you further.

“So, if Pike is back on the Enterprise, and you’re his Number One, where’s Spock?”

Your question was immediately answered when you both arrived to see Spock already on the upper floor conversing with the captain of the USS Bradbury.

“Never mind then,” you politely dipped past Kirk, giving Spock a respectful nod as you proceeded into the briefing room; the only unmarked seat was by Admiral Alexander Marcus, and you gave him a terse greeting as you sat.

“I apologize that our reunion has to be under such grim circumstances,” he shook your hand, clearly meaning to speak further, but you grabbed his arm under the pretense of familiarity and pulled him closer.

“Why the hell were there still operatives in the Themyscira Zone?” you hissed. “You decommissioned the Corps.”

“I’m sure you’re familiar with the term classified, Agent,” he said. You wanted to huff at his diplomatic deflection.

Time hadn’t changed Marcus, at all.

Once all the superiors were seated, Marcus opened a holofile with images of the “Kelvin Archive.”

“Thank you all for coming,” he said. “As you may have heard, we can confirm that there was an attack on the Kelvin Archive in London very recently. Luckily for us, we have enough information to get one step ahead on the real issue.”

You chewed on your lip as the displayed files in front of you changed, revealing images of the Themyscira Zone. You noticed Jim’s brow furrow, but when he looked to you, you gave your head the slightest shake: a warning.

“Harewood used to be a technical engineer in our Themyscira Zone retired training grounds and headquarters for elite intelligence operatives...all 299 former Amazon Corps operatives were killed, along with their personnel. Lieutenant Commander Y/L/N is the last remaining graduate of the program. I figured she might have some insight on why our perp was looking to attack.”

You didn’t speak, and you didn’t dare look at Jim or Spock. Retired, he said. Former, he said.

Jim asked the question burning in your mind, “If the program was retired, what was Starfleet doing down there?”

“JIm,” Pike said sternly. Marcus leveled an icy glare at Jim and waited until the blond was distracted to continue.

“Fortunately, Harewood admitted to being put up to this attack by a known enemy of the Federation.”

The next image that popped up on your PADD made you swallow your saliva to keep your gag reflex from retching up your entire day’s meals.

“John Harrison has gone rogue. He was seen in London days before the attack…”

You weren’t listening anymore, just staring at the sharp, familiar face on that PADD with a cold expression. This couldn’t be happening. This was the last thing you wanted. You were not about to storm back into that empty life to chase down Marcus’ so-called ‘John Harrison.’

You were not about to give up the semi-pleasant life you had for one ugly, awful man.

You could see Pike trying to catch your eye, but you couldn’t make yourself move. Every nerve in your body was screaming to run. You needed an out. You needed something.

That something conveniently appeared in the form of an explosion blasting through the glass of the briefing room, throwing you into the wall.

Your ears rang on the impact, and your brain worked overtime to recover and enter threat assessment mode. That was made easy for you by the sight of ‘John Harrison’ standing in a small transport vehicle and shooting at the open hold of the building. The sheer force of your rage at all the lives he was trying to take at once propelled you forward to throw the table up in defense of Pike and Jim and Spock and the others.

(Maybe not Marcus as much as everyone else, but of course he ended up shielded, as well.)

When he realized it was you standing there, he locked his eyes with yours. He smirked; your stomach lurched. He moved his transport back and began shooting upwards, likely trying to damage the structural integrity of the building. You rushed over to Jim.

“Get as many people as you can outside, I’m calling Bones to alert medical!”

You didn’t give him any more attention, whipping out your comm. Your thumbs shook as you momentarily searched for the correct contact and nearly crushed the button.

“Bones, there’s an emergency at the Admin building!” you yelled into the comm at the grumpy, sleep-deprived answer. “Warn Med HQ!”

“Y/N!”

Pike barked your name, making you whip your head just in time to see ‘Harrison’ shoot him square in the chest.

An angry, devastated cry ripped from your chest. You wanted to run to Pike and comfort him, but you wanted even more to rip his killer’s head off of his body. Your fist crushed around your comm, and you dropped the metal pieces on the ground, call with Bones forgotten. Spock ran over to you; he was trying to get some kind of message across to you, but blood and anger were boiling too hard in your head.

The growing fire of the room was now licking at your pants, and you decided the best way to stop that was to break into a run as ‘Harrison’ retreated slickly into his ship; a piece of metal launched from some opening in the building to slow the departure of the ship, but as you lunged out the opening in the building, the craft crashed, and you altered your posture as you approached the ground, past five levels likely blaring red alerts.

To your surprise, Bones had no Starfleet medical with him when you realized it was him running towards you. It occurred to you that your call had ended rather abruptly when you broke your own comm, and he had likely panicked.

“Y/N,” he was breathless, and his hair was messy from sleep-- hell, he was still in his pajamas, but he had a medkit and his hands were on your face, slowing your heartbeat from its overdrive speed. “Are you alright?”

“No,” you shoved him away, “not me, Pike, he- the- he shot Pike- you have to- you have to call- Bones, please- Pike is- he was-”

Your breaths must have been shallow, because he looked directly into your eyes and kept his voice slow and calm.

“Y/N,” he repeated. “It’s okay. I called Med HQ on the way. I just watched you fall out of a building. Tell me what I can do for you right now.”

Nothing in your mind was slowing down. Nothing he was saying was making it through to you. All you could think about was your gravely injured and crippled father figure up there, needing your help desperately.

You made yourself turn around, but your knees gave out as you realized in deep horror what Khan was actually doing when he spotted you.

Phaser blasts had destroyed the building in the shape of one word that struck you to your core...a name you never thought you would ever, ever, ever have to hear again.

Galatea.

W&W @ EDC Orlando 2014

Hope pride month is going good for you guys!  Oh, and sorry about that last post.  I realized when it wasn’t coming up consistently for me across desktop and mobile that there was something going on, so that’s is why I split it into two parts yesterday.  I’ll keep an eye out for that and hopefully preempt it the future. :)

So this week I’ve got W&W on deck.  This was from my first night ever at EDC Orlando, during my “Year One” in 2014.  I was still in awe at the size and scope of what I was witnessing, and my methods on capturing the experience was a little in-process.  As such, my first image in this post is me simply capturing a single still image of one of the interstitials between sets that Insomniac loves to use:

Which isn’t a bad shot, mind you!  I love the colors used on the Night Owls.  But once I realized this might actually be more awesome in motion, I decided to switch to video, and captured the following:

YouTube | Facebook | Instagram This doesn’t exactly capture all the awesome bits of what went on during this interlude, but it’s serving it’s purpose:  entertaining us “headliners” and giving the techs a chance to do their thing.  I always look forward to catching these!

I wasn’t convinced that stills were a bad thing (and they’re still not!), so I took another.  Given the timestamp, I figure this was just before the W&W intro began, but I’m not sure.  But I think it’s a really cool shot!  Naturally, there was music, and the lights are going, so I switched to video:

YouTube | Facebook | Instagram Here’s part of the intro to W&W’s set.  Naturally, the song that skyrocketed them into the collective EDM eye was used, and there’s nothing wrong with some serious fan service at a festival!  I started off shooting the eyes of the Night Owls because they appeared to not be functioning 100% earlier on in the evening.  About one quarter of one of the eyes was totally black, which I wasn’t convinced was on purpose at first, but now that I see all sections of both eyes working, I can tell there was something going on, and they fixed it on the fly!  I love the tech stuff, and I’m always impressed when show elements can be repaired on demand. W&W - Bigfoot https://soundcloud.com/wandw/w-w-bigfoot

Download High Res (33.8 MB) | Download Low Res (4.8 MB) I’m loving the live video combined with the computer imagery!  Everyone remembers their first, and I’m still in love with the Kinetic Cathedral’s design!  It’s still my header image for most of my socials, as of this writing... I probably should update that before EDC Orlando 2017 though haha.  This was pretty early on in W&W’s performance, from what I remember.  I ended up forgetting about videography for a while and just enjoyed the moment... gotta do that sometimes, even if you’re a FOMO freak like me!

YouTube | Facebook | Instagram I love this song, this vocal, and combined with this moment, let’s just say it’s one of my favorite videos thus far!  The eyes of the Night Owls appearing to be filled with stardust was a really great thing to see.  I think the Night Owls flying in different directions against the cosmic background was really a great choice for this breakdown.  Bravo, Insomniac.  I gotta say, though, in revisiting this old content, I never noticed how robotic W&W look up there in the booth, don’t they?  Watch them at the drop!  Haha Armin van Buuren feat. Trevor Guthrie - This Is What It Feels Like (W&W Remix) https://soundcloud.com/arminvanbuuren/armin-van-buuren-feat-trevor-guthrie-this-is-what-it-feels-like-ww-remix

YouTube | Facebook | Instagram I took this right near the end of their set.  They got all the elements poppin’ off!  The CO2 cannons up front, the smaller cannons in the organ to make it look like a functioning instrument, and the fire is going too.  What a great way to help send them both off! W&W & Headhunterz - Shocker https://soundcloud.com/wandw/ww-headhunterz-shocker-out-now W&W - Thunder https://soundcloud.com/wandw/w-w-thunder-preview

Have a good weekend, ya’ll!  It’s been raining like crazy in Orlando for the past week, so hopefully it’s not putting a damper on your pride festivities!  Love ya’ll, see ya next time!  🏳️‍🌈🦁❤

You know you wanna be extra gay this June, so go get some more of me! Facebook | Tumblr | YouTube | Instagram | Twitter | Web
