A year and a half ago when I made this blog, I was basically just thinking, “What Star Trek character could I write well? Eh, I think I could do a decent Barclay.” Fast-forwarding to now: Reg has gone from a character I remember liking as a kid to one of my favorite characters ever. I’ve learned a lot about writing from him, and also just had a great time collaborating with some really awesome people.

And apparently 300 of you decided I was worth following, so without further ado... here’s a follow forever list of sorts. I always get stupidly happy seeing my URL when other people make these, so I thought I’d return the favor and give some shout outs :)

I could write a whole lot about these guys, but it’s basically just gonna be screaming so I’ll just leave it here:

@drorah-walks | @nashforhire

I love the hell out of writing with these guys:

@astrohistoria | @bowtiesandbrokenhearts | @engineer-myfanwy-ifans | @that-scary-romulan-chick | @thelonelyandroid

I haven’t written with these guys too much, but I love it so far and hope to do a lot more:

@assortedsouls | @captain-pinkskin | @fallcnstcrs | @five-guns-days | @kazran-sardick | @mckaytriarchy | @msgold63 | @ofstarrynights | @quietresistence | @skrain400babiesdukat | @tiimecrash

I haven’t written a lot (or anything) with these mutuals, but this is a poke to say that I appreciate you, even if we haven’t talked:

@atlassouled / @trueseeking | @beloved-soong | @bucketxfsunshine | @canspotatimeagent | @cha-hai | @coalessscence | @counselorbennet | @defectivevorta-and-changeling | @elusiveemotions | @empathicstars | @goodliest | @kathrynejaneway | @kevet-dutar | @ninthdax | @omnipotcnt | @omnipotentpaininthebutt | @silvyfish | @theoldfaker | @thexjoinedxsurgeon | @youseemewheniwant

And finally, people I used to write with whose blogs are no longer active for whatever reason, a shout out to say I miss you (though you are not under any obligation to come back just for lil old me):

@kajaxmiller / @madexoutxofxstardust | @machinaxlogicae | @notavulcan / @trquble | @ofgoodconscience | @qentity | @taleirrh-of-romulus

I’m sure I left some people out... but anyway, thanks for 300, guys!

The tribble was decidedly less irritable when Garak took several steps back. Blue eyes narrowed warily at the thing.

“Cardassians are allergic to them,” he replied, inwardly wincing at his own over-simplistic answer. It was not precisely a lie, but it was not precisely the entire truth. Human children, he’d found, needed simple and logical answers moreso than human adults. It made for less questions, usually.

"Do you have a Valentine yet?" (kajaxmiller)

“A Valentine?” Trip raises his eyebrows. “We don’t really celebrate a lot of holidays here on the ship so no, I don’t. Why?”

"Please don't." (Kajaxmiller, v:8y/o)

“I’m sorry. I have to take you to the Riov. I can’t be explaining why I let an eight year old run around the engine room.”

ooc: another slow day (ugh)

My back is aching again so replies will be delayed.  I apologize.

Kaja had taken out a tissue and whipped the blood off, smiling despite herself to not show the pain: “Its right, I got that.”, she said, taking some old school gauze bandage and tape out of the nearby replicator and beginning to wrapped it around her hand, she couldn’t pull out her dermal regenerator in front of Barclay, leaving him the decision to either tell someone and get Kaja into trouble, or shutting his mouth and risking getting in trouble himself. She couldn’t do that to him. “Well, seems the little window in the hatch is broken, and I grabbed into it directly. But it’s fine. Doesn’t hurt.”, she said while the bandage showed little spots of red already, they shined through the white fabric.

Reg glanced at the hatch in question--sure enough, there was a jagged piece of glass positioned at just the right angle to give someone a pretty nasty cut. Making a mental note to avoid it, Reg noticed that Kaja’s hand was still bleeding through her little makeshift bandage. “I can...I can get a medkit. That will only t-take a few minutes to fix.”

"Garak, Garak!", the excited voice of the girl called for him as she run into his shop: "Look, isn't this one cute?", she held a tribble in her hands:"It's making cute noises and it's soooo fluffy.", she said, eying the tribble lovingly.(Kajaxmiller)

That scent. That blasted, nauseating scent that permeated the entire promenade was now in his shop. Garak’s nose wrinkled with revulsion as the child ran in with--

He winced at the shriek the little ball of fluff suddenly gave and took a step deeper into the shadows. Blue eyes widened in stark horror at the wriggling menace that he knew was a tribble. Klingons loathed them and Cardassians had similar sentiments. Were it not for the efforts of the Klingons to destroy the Tribble Homeworld, Cardassians would have done it for them.

“Ah--young lady, perhaps you should--” Another shrill shriek from the wretched creature made Garak clap his hands over his ears with a hiss.

“--play with it outside my shop!” he managed over the shrieks.

@kajaxmiller

“Okay, this is engineering, shift schedule is on the wall, I update it ever Thursday so be sure to check your hours, whoever’s in charge of your shift will also be in charge of engineering if it’s not me.” He explains. “Now a few ground rules about the engine. The only system that’s more important then that engine is life support, if you need to divert power from the engines to life support do it. It’s more important that we stay alive then keep moving. Don’t do anything to the engine unless you’ve checked that all systems are normal, if one little thing is off the entire ship could blow. 

He looks over his new team member again, she’s young and that makes him nervous. “How old did you say you were?”

“No, that looks…that looks bad.” Reg put down everything he was working on to take a closer look at Kaja’s bleeding hand. “What happened?”

{{ Trying something new – replaced the Interactions page (which is a pain in the ass to keep up with) with a Relationships page. So while threads are still individually tagged, only the characters who actually interact with John a lot are included on a separate page. }}

{{ This page currently includes @archaeologistwithagun, @bxtany, @ofgoodconscience, @kajaxmiller, and @taleirrh-of-romulus (and I am terrified I fucked up your character’s name entirely so please tell me if I did). If you want to be included on this page, message me! Hit me up! Plot things with me! Let’s figure out exactly what the relationship is. I’ve love to have more people on the page. }}

Valentines Application

Name:  Kaja Miller

Age: 7

Do you like to cuddle?: yeah!

Can we make-out?: that’s an adult thing, isn’t it? 

A night in or dinner out?: you take me to Ten Forward and then we play something? You know chess?

Ice cream or chocolate covered strawberries?: vanilla ice cream with a chocolate covered stawberry on top!

What makes you a good Valentine?: I don’t want you to be alone on Valentines Day, so I come over, yes?

Would you cook for me?: I can make cool sandwiches 

Would you let me cook for you?: can you cook? If so, yes of course

(tbh she knows what this day is, but also that Barclay may not have anybody to celebrate and hence she doesn’t want’s him to be alone)

A sandwich and a game of chess sounds great, Kaja, but I’m pretty sure you’ll beat me. Just make sure your dad knows where you are.

Kaja jumped as someone came close but relaxed as she saw it was Reg. Hugging him closely she tried to stop sniffing and told him quietly between the sobs: “I had a .. nightmare. And dad … has night shift. … So I tried to find him…. But I can’t.”, she hold onto Reg as if he needed him for dear life. “Why are you awake?”, she asked him after a moment.

Reg let Kaja cling to him as hard as she wanted--she was clearly very frightened. “I...I heard you,” Reg admitted quietly. “Do you need helping finding your dad? The computer should know where he is.”

“Ten forward.”, she told him and smiled: “You’re the smart Engineer that saved the whole ship, right?”, Kaja smiled brightly at him.

Reg stared at the girl for a moment, then burst into a wide grin. He had done that, hadn’t he?

“Yeah,” he said, bending down to be eye level with her. “I’m, uh, I’m Reg. What’s your name?”

"You left your ̶b̶̶a̶̶g̶ tricorder behind." (Kajaxmiller, verse: TNG, 7-year old Kaja aboard Enterprise)

{{ @kajaxmiller }}

“Oh. Uh…th-thanks.” Reg took the offered tricorder. “Where did you find this?”
