Monday Prompt: Headcanons

About - Guidelines - Prompts - Ao3

Who do you think met at the academy? Was there instant friendship or love at first sight, or did they not start out so well?

What is a character’s favorite colour, food, item of clothing, book or family member?

Which characters are best friends, which work well together despite not being friends at all?

What do they miss while they are in space, what do they enjoy in their free time?

On Monday, 25th of July and 01st of August, you can write a story with your favourite headcanon - or make a fic rec list with all fics that fit to it, record a podfic or make a moodboard of a story with a headcanon you like (ask permission of the author first, please), or just describe your headcanon in a tumblr post!

If you want to write a story but can’t think of any headcanons right now, there are a few headcanon lists and blogs already out there for different ships and characters - in that case please credit whoever came up with the original headcanon of your work!

Queer Star Trek headcanons

Michael Burnham Prime headcanons

Philippa Georgiou Prime headcanons

So I always feel like this...this is the best one I’ve ever written, but, this one totally is. Philippa’s so complicated and had so much to work through and I really enjoyed it. Hopefully you will!

[scientific-tricorder]

It's Pride Month, so here's a list of canonically and semi-canonically queer characters in Star Trek. (In order of characters' first appearance; exact quotations/references under the read more)

Special shout-out to any and all joined Trill for being trans.

Canon

Data (The Next Generation): Aromantic and asexual ("In Theory", "Phantasms")

Jadzia Dax (Deep Space Nine): Pansexual ("Rejoined")

Mirror Kira Nerys (Deep Space Nine): Bi/pansexual ("Crossover")

Mirror Ezri Dax (Deep Space Nine): Bi/pansexual ("The Emperor's New Cloak")

Seven of Nine (Voyager and Picard): Bisexual ("Et in Arcadia Ego, Part 2")

Hikaru Sulu (Kelvinverse films): Gay (Star Trek: Beyond)

Michael Burnham (Discovery): A-spec ("Magic to Make the Sanest Man Go Mad")

Paul Stamets (Discovery): Gay ("The Red Angel")

Hugh Culber (Discovery): Gay ("The Red Angel")

Mirror Philippa Georgiou (Discovery): Bi/pansexual ("Will You Take My Hand?")

Jett Reno (Discovery): Gay ("Through the Valley of Shadows")

Raffaela "Raffi" Musiker (Picard): Bi/pansexual ("Et in Arcadia Ego, Part 2")

Beckett Mariner (Lower Decks): Bi/pansexual ("We'll Always Have Tom Paris")

Andarithio "Andy" Billups (Lower Decks): Asexual ("Where Pleasant Fountains Lie")

Adira Tal (Discovery): Trans, non-binary ("The Sanctuary")

Gray Tal (Discovery): Trans ("Anomaly")

Zero (Prodigy): Non-binary ("Lost and Found")

Christine Chapel (Strange New Worlds): Bi/pansexual ("Spock Amok")

Semi-canon:

Q (Various): Bi/pansexual (Article)

Beverly Crusher (The Next Generation): Bi/pansexual (Article)

Julian Bashir (Deep Space Nine): Bi/pansexual, a-spec (Video)

Elim Garak (Deep Space Nine): Omnisexual (Bi/pansexual) (Article)

Phlox (Enterprise): Bi/pansexual (Article)

Keyla Detmer (Discovery): Queer (Article)

Exact quotes and references:

Data: "With regard to romantic relationships, there is no real me." (and "In Theory" in general); "I have no sexual desire."

Q: "There’s no question in my mind that when I play [Q], I love Picard." - John de Lancie

Beverly Crusher: "Bev would have slept with male or female" - Gates McFadden

Julian Bashir: "I don't think Bashir had a very overt sexuality…he certainly had a stunted sense of sexuality…I don't think that he put the…platonic side [and] the physical side together. So he could fall in love across…the board...because he's falling in love with both sexes." - Alexander Siddig (edited for brevity and clarity)

Jadzia Dax: The entire episode of "Rejoined"; "Terry Farrell says Jadzia Dax was pansexual." (Article)

Elim Garak: "It’s about being omnisexual. That basically his sexuality is something that can happen with anyone." - Andrew Robinson

Mirror Kira Nerys: Shows interest in men and women

Mirror Ezri Dax: Kisses/in relationship with Mirror Kira

Seven of Nine: Hand holding with Raffi, their relationship throughout second season; "Oh, Seven is canonically bi, don't you worry." - Jeri Ryan (Twitter)

Phlox: "I was trying very hard to suggest he had a polyamorous relationship with the boys as well as the girls. I do tell people I was the first gay character on Star Trek, whether you were aware of it or not." - John Billingsley

Hikaru Sulu: Shown with husband

Michael Burnham: "You've never been in love." (This is probably the vaguest one, but the discussion is about romantic love, and if a fully grown adult like Burnham has explicitly never experienced romantic love before, I think it's safe to say they're somewhere on the aro/ace-spectrum)

Keyla Detmer: "[S]he maybe is starting to accept herself in her own queerness, whatever that means." - Emily Coutts

Paul Stamets: "[I]n my universe, and pretty much any universe I can possibly imagine, I'm gay."

Hugh Culber: "I'm gay, and so is [Culber]."

Mirror Philippa Georgiou: Shown with male and female sexual partners

Jett Reno: "My wife is Soyousian."

Raffaela "Raffi" Musiker: Hand holding with Seven, their relationship throughout second season

Beckett Mariner: "Oh, I'm always dating bad boys. Bad girls, bad gender-nonbinary babes, ruthless alien masterminds, bad Bynars..."

Andarithio "Andy" Billups: "[I]f you're planning on tricking me into intercourse, think again. The only lady I love is two decks tall, and pumped full of dilithium;" "You need to accept the fact that I'll be a virgin for the rest of my life."

Adira Tal: "Um, 'they,' not–not 'she.' I've never felt like a 'she' or–or a 'her,' so I would prefer 'they' or 'them' from now on."

Gray Tal: "Transitioning, it's like, I had bigger things to think about. But, if I get another chance to remake my body, then why not get rid of all the things that aren't totally me."

Zero: "Not a robot, nor a he, or she."

Christine Chapel: "He and I are on the same page. Casual, no attachments, this is just for fun, zero commitments." "[Y]ou said the same thing about that gal on Argelius II."

trekathon: disco 1x11

“the wolf inside”:

pretty impressive that an episode can start with a man cradling his dead husband’s body and then get more distressing from there

it’s worth it to me though, personally, because mirror sarek is a prophet and it’s really working for me

the opening credits come a full 14 minutes into the episode. six teasers before breakfast and discovery laughs in the face of god

not like a Prophet™️ prophet:

the regular kind

or actually maybe he just mind-melds with people sometimes and then wows them with his psychic knowledge of their inner selves idk

i also really loved mirror!soval beyond all reason. apparently all i need is an older vulcan man who’s anti-fascist and pro-goatee 

sarek’s confused math lady face as he tries to process finding his own katra inside michael’s head

michael has longed her whole life to hear sarek say something that nice about her and she only had to travel outside her quantum universe to do it

the i.s.s. suffering:

michael’s narrated slow-motion existential crisis feat. sexy nightwear

there’s a shot in the unsettling bath scene with steam curling around michael’s face that’s pure cinematic art

michael and prime!saru both lying to each other in this episode to spare the other’s feelings

also the “i will call you saru after a respected friend” parallel with the emperor telling mirror!saru about “a starship captain named saru” 🥺

i don’t think i mentioned last time how much i enjoyed seeing the iconic shenzhou transporter room again and really wish i had done so before it turned into the iconic shenzhou execution chamber

i LOVE that keyla gets to stand up! and walk around! and contribute to the plot!! and the continuity between this and “terra firma” of her being michael’s right hand

“terrans don’t apologize” but keyla DOES apologize to michael. you know i don’t like going extra curricular for info but emily coutts said in a ready room episode that she thinks their mirror universe selves may have impulses to Be Good that they have to suppress the way that we have to reject our evil impulses

anyway, i assume we’re all here for shipping mirror captain burnham/commander detmer

michael insisting she’s still starfleet so she has to foster this coalition of species... that fire of federation optimism....... we love to see it 💗

and also voq is there:

i can’t tell you how much i secretly hoped that THIS TIME ash tyler would manage not be voq after all

the reveal coming because he heard part of the activation phrase in his own voice is inspired though

he TRIED to stay HUMAN for MICHAEL how am i supposed to just LIVE WITH THIS

michael and tyler’s lovely scene in bed together made me think about how this is michael at her most traumatized, and tyler of course is traumatized in ways that literally defy understanding, so it’s this beautiful broken thing

and holding that up against season 3 michael who has moved through so much of her trauma and is ready for a sweet and loving relationship with a dude who rescues animals and loves her almost a full 90% as much as he loves his cat

like obviously, given the secret klingon agent of it all, it’s not exactly “falling in love with the right man for the right time,” but i like the way discovery challenges the draw of OTP and instead gives us “people can love deeply for a time and then can love someone else just as much later, because all of us grow and change and seek different things at different times to help us do that”

i don’t understand how any of this works:

really thought i was hanging on to the mechanical theory of How Spores Work as presented until now, but tilly said “neuronal link” like i should understand it and the whole house of cards came down

still not sure how hugh becomes a spore ghost. “fungi have the biological aptitude to link death with life” and “wherever you are, i hope he’s with you” sets it up, so i EXPECT that paul in the mycelial network will meet hugh, but instead it’s mirror paul in a sexy leather uniform

actually i don’t understand transporters anymore either. where is the discovery when they beam tylervoq aboard? is this like in aos where sometimes transporters just work over enormous distances? did they jam some spores into the transporter buffers?? 

EvilWatch 2255:

“i feel that your suffering has influenced your judgment”

really love lorca and all the mirror universe characters turning away from the explosion while michael stares directly at it

EMPEROR. PHILIPPA. GEORGIOU.

now that she’s a character i Know And Love rather than the standard cartoon villain one expects from the mirror universe i cannot WAIT for this.

[ussmemery]

saru: i believe the saying goes “live, laugh, love”.

michael: survive, chuckle, show appreciation.

georgiou: do not get killed, kill, offer a quick death, you mean

tilly: no guys really it’s live laugh love

keyla: you mean don’t fly like ass, be a badass, save your ass

spock: none of this is logical

And Everywhere I Turn, There’s Fear

Gen | Teen And Up Audiences | No Archive Warnings Apply | 1,764 Words

(Read on AO3)

Characters: Michael Burnham, Sylvia Tilly, Keyla Detmer, Ash Tyler | Voq, Philippa Georgiou, Connor (Star Trek), Mike Burnham | Michael Burnham's Father, Gabrielle Burnham

Tags: Season/Series 01, Canon Compliant, sort of both, Hurt/Comfort, and, Hurt No Comfort, Vignette, Narrative Flashbacks, Introspection, Mirror Universe, Authoritarianism, Psychological Trauma, Child Neglect, Anxiety Disorder, Food, Physical Therapy, Implied/Referenced Character Death, not-quite-unreliable narrator, narrator who is reliable about facts only, Michael has some things to work through, I think Sarek and Amanda were terrible parents to her and it shows, also, Michael having Human neurobiology and being raised Vulcan, is the sci-fi equivalent to neurodivergent kids being raised to act neurotypical, and that’s my thing to never shut up about, mostly written before S2, but very mild characterization spoilers about Michael’s family from S2 and the, Short Trek: The Girl Who Made The Stars

Summary: Drenched in the eerie starlight that falls on the ISS Shenzhou, Michael Burnham reflects on her own past experiences with fear, and on the memories of love and warmth that she has carried with her into this cold universe.

A/N: I wrote most of this story back in January 2019, then put it by the wayside to write Season 2-related fic. As I’ve been complaining about on Tumblr for a good half a year now, I have a handful of pre-S2 and S2-related fics of varying lengths from 2019 and prior complete or almost complete, and I’ve been wanting to find time to finish and post them since this past summer, but being busy and being a slow writer/editor has been getting in my way. Starting with this one, I’m hoping to finally publish them over the next few months whenever I have time.

This story feels a little too relevant to current events right now. Thinking of all of y’all during this scary time—take care, everybody <3

I hadn't tried Keyla's POV before and she was fun to write! Thanks to Sanctuaria, Maria and Sha for their help!
