The Stars Above

Daryl Dixon • They/Them Pronouns • “Remember when we were just. Trying to survive the dead?” “Mhm” “Never did I think we’d ever have a moment of peace…until now” • Smol Angst/SFW

No more Commonwealth.

No more Saviors.

No more cannibals.

No more Governor.

No more threat…besides what they live with.

Y/N found themselves at one of the picnic tables in Alexandria looking up at the stars in the sky. Listening to an old Queen’s cassette that Judith gifted them once she learned Y/N had a walkman, and what a walkman was.

For the first time since…maybe the old world, they weren’t anxious. Weren’t worried. Just simply living in the moment listening to their music and keeping their attention to the non-polluted sky remembering when it was rare to see so many stars at night.

Y/N flinched to the hand that suddenly found purchase on their shoulder. Only to realize it was Daryl and he only touched them suddenly because of their headphones.

“It’s cold out”

“I know…but at least it’s not raining”

“Mm” Daryl shot them a smile before joining them at the table looking up to the sky with them. “Yknow the constellations?”

“Mmm…Nah. I had a friend in the old world who studied astronomy and I would go with her on night hikes to a spot with her telescope. Check out the stars and listen to her go on and on about the constellations. But I didn’t listen. I just like looking at them”

“Same. At least yea know what’s north”

“Yeah a certain hunter taught me how to find my way back using the stars during our prison era” Y/N elbows Daryl playfully as they offered an earbud for said hunter who happily took it. “You ever think about it?”

“About what?”

“The start of it all…where you were…who you needed to find…how you were going to survive it all…” They brought their attention to their hands holding their walkman. “Remember when we were just…trying to survive the dead?”

“Mhm…” Daryl kept his attention close on them making sure they were okay by how they talked. But that worry passed when Y/N rest their head on his shoulder resulting in him resting his on top of their head.

“Never did I think we’d ever have a moment of peace…” Y/N sighs bringing themselves closer as Daryl instinctively brought his arm around their shoulders. “Until now…”

The two sat there enjoying the night sky, listening to music, and being comfortable in the other’s embrace. Daryl thought back to that night he first fell in love with them…and knew he wouldn’t change it for anything else..

________

“You should take it easy instead of heading back out there. Let me go in your stead”

“Nah ain’t gonna let yea do that”

“Or what? I’ll get mistaken by a walker by a certain blonde? Or not like what I find by myself?” Y/N got up in Daryl’s face when he wasn’t in the mood for their attitude. “I’ve got an idea of where to look and I just need yea to take it easy.”

“You ain’t my boss”

“You’re right. I ain’t” Y/N suddenly knocked Daryl off his feet by hooking their leg behind his and pushing him back. “But I sure as hell can take care of myself”

Daryl was too flabbergasted to have a comeback to their words. But he’d be lying if he wasn’t impressed by what they did. He slowly sat up expecting Y/N to had walked on but was given a bottle of painkillers that they keep from everybody else. Because of the migraines they’d get sometimes.

“Take it easy, and I won’t go out until you’re better”

“Fine”

And with that, Daryl had a bit of a spark light itself when watching Y/N walk away. Not knowing their spark for him happened way back in the quarry.

________

“Wanna head inside?”

“Nah. I’m liking this” Daryl kept them close for a little while longer letting them get comfortable.

Enjoying the night…

Enjoying the music…

Enjoying their company…

He couldn’t have asked for anything more.

“Hey Dar?”

“Hm?”

“Thanks for loving me”

Daryl smiles instantly when hearing that, but who couldn’t love them? He presses a kiss to the top of their head hearing them hum happily.

“Just sayin’, I got hella lucky with a partner like you”

“Really?” Y/N brought their attention onto him watching him smile.

“Really. Yea made life worth living again, and I’m just happy you stuck with me through it all”

“Gonna take a whole lot to keep me from yea, Daryl.” Y/N smiles bringing their lips against his enjoying the sweetness he had along with the smokey taste on his lips. Daryl brought his hand to rest on their cheek continuing the kiss and keeping them there for a while.

________

Y/N joined Rick on the trip to the Hilltop to check on Maggie and get their mind off certain things. They were last to come through the gates as Maggie instantly embraced them upon their arrival which triggered a confused thought. But when they parted, Maggie instantly drew their attention to where her eyes locked onto.

Daryl parts from Rick taking a deep breath still feeling it all after escaping the Sanctuary. He looks over to find Y/N frozen in their place before hesitantly approaching the man as he closed the distance. Neither of them touching the other but the second Y/N rest their hands on his shoulders. A force in them lunged them forward wrapping their arms protectively around Daryl as he did the same gripping onto their shirt and hiding his face in their neck to muffle his sobs.

The two haven’t said a word since they reunited, and Rick let Y/N stick with Daryl and Maggie. Knowing they would protect themselves and the two with their life.

But as the night rolled in and Y/N brought themselves to sit with Daryl at the steps to the trailer they’re temporarily staying in. Daryl wrapped his arm around their shoulders pulling them close and without another thought, Y/N started to sob pulling themselves closer as he gripped onto them.

“I’ll fucking kill that man for taking you from me”

Daryl fully brought them into his embrace and onto his lap keeping them close as they curled up into him.

________

The two were getting tired but didn’t want to go inside and found themselves laying in the grass looking up at the night sky.

Daryl held Y/N’s hand as neither said another word, or even had music on. Just listening to the wildlife and crickets through the night. He only let go of their hand when Y/N brought themselves close once again. This time because of the cold and needing his warmth that he was more than happy to share with cuddling his partner.

“I love you Daryl Dixon”

“I love you to the moon and back, Y/N Dixon”

An Emotional Mess makes a logical decision and a Man of Science follows his heart. Everyone already knows about their Epic Adventures. This is the stuff that happened in between.

Another one from the vaults.

Long excerpt for a long fic:

Like most holy sites on Vulcan, one had to walk some distance to reach the monastery of K’lon. Unlike any of the others, that walk was through polar ice and snow. There was no reason for the walk other than to impress upon the walker a sense of the isolation of their destination. Ancient Vulcans must have been much easier to impress. Even at 137 years old, Spock found the hour’s exercise in the cold to be invigorating, if anything. He held his hand over the panel near the door, and shortly, one of the novices, a tall priestess, admitted him and led him to the office of K’lon’s Master.

“Master Vanok, Ambassador Spock has arrived.”

“Spock,” said Vanok. “Of course, we were expecting you. May I offer you some spice tea?” He indicated a sideboard where the novice was already pouring two cups.

“Thank you, Master Vanok.” Spock took a cup and seated himself in one of the room’s few chairs. Vanok took his own cup and sat opposite Spock.

“You are dismissed, T’Sala.” The novice bowed and left.

“It is the custom here to offer some provision to those who have traveled to us,” said Vanok.

“I see,” replied Spock.

“I trust that your journey was uneventful.”

“Yes.”

“Many find the ice road challenging.”

“I reached K’lon at the appointed hour and encountered no difficulties along the way,” said Spock, wondering how much more of a difficulty Vanok was planning to be. Such inanities were mere politeness in some species, but they indicated obstructionism in a Vulcan, and he had already encountered enough impediments merely acquiring an appointment here.

“Yes, I assume that you have become inured to many climates and terrains in your travels off-world.”

“Indeed,” said Spock.

Having exhausted his observations on this topic, Vanok turned to the reason for Spock’s visit. “The document you seek is most obscure.”

“As are all of the works housed herein.”

“Of course, but in the entire history of this monastery, no one has requested this one.”

“Were you unable to locate it?”

“No, our archivists are quite thorough.”

Spock merely raised an eyebrow.

“It is a most irregular text,” said Vanok.

“It contains nothing that is forbidden.” All forbidden texts were kept at Mount Seleya.

“That is true, but I fail to see why any Vulcan would be interested in the ritual it describes.”

“You were interested enough to read it,” Spock pointed out.

“Merely out of intellectual curiosity.”

“Then you have no objection to my intellectual curiosity also being satisfied.”

“As I said, the text is most irregular. There can be no motivation to perform this ritual beyond the sentimental.”

“I have been studying this subject for some time. I have exhausted the archive at Mount Seleya, and I find that I cannot complete my research without also viewing the document in your keeping.”

Vanok considered this. “If the Masters of Mount Seleya have authorized you to pursue this matter, I can raise no objection,” conceded Vanok. He stood and walked to the intercom on his desk.

“T’Sala, attend me.”

The novice returned to the room.

“Take Spock to the reading room and give him the document he requested.”

“Yes, Master Vanok.” She bowed. “Ambassador Spock, if you will follow me?”

Spock stood, setting his teacup on the sideboard. He nodded slightly in Vanok’s direction. “Master Vanok, your assistance is noted.” He left the room with the novice.

The text turned out to be quite short. As he had expected, the ritual was simple, though clearly, it would be difficult and time-consuming to perform. Having memorized the document, he handed it to T’Sala, and thanked her for her effort.

Vanok had been correct to be suspicious. Spock fully intended to perform this ritual, and his reasons were entirely sentimental.

Spock arrived at his home near ShiKahr in the early afternoon. His aide, Tellek, was there to greet him. Both the home and the aide had been a part of Spock’s life since he had become a Federation ambassador.

The house was typical of Vulcan residential architecture – a low stone and thermal concrete structure the same color as the limestone hillside it was built into. Spock passed through the formal entry garden and into the large main room of the dwelling. The interior of the house was similarly buff and the furnishings were both sparse and spartan, but the walls and shelves held a profusion of artworks – paintings, sculptures, tapestries – the accumulation of over seventy years.

“We arrived an hour ago,” said Tellek. “Dr. McCoy is in the inner courtyard.”

“Thank you.” Spock handed his heavy black cloak to Tellek, revealing a sand-colored robe over a black tunic and trousers.

Spock passed through to the courtyard. Unlike the formal garden, this one was an abundance of as many flowering and green plants as he and Tellek (and some rather sophisticated environmental controls) could coax into thriving. Along the eastern wall was laid a long block of black stone that served as a bench. McCoy was seated there, his back against the southern wall where the block butted up to it, his legs stretched out along the length of the stone, ankles crossed. He was wearing Earth-style clothing – a dark brown suit and a sage-green shirt. He had removed his jacket and laid it at the far end of the bench. His eyes were closed against the sun, still high in the sky.

“Welcome home,” said Spock.

“Welcome home, yourself,” said McCoy, opening his eyes.

“I had meant to return before you.”

“We decided to leave early. I just wanted to come home.”

The bench was deep and McCoy was skinny, so there was plenty of room for Spock to sit facing him, one leg up on the seat. He leaned toward McCoy and tucked an errant strand of white hair back in with the rest. He offered McCoy his first two fingers, and, after a moment’s pause, McCoy rested his own fingers against Spock’s.

Their minds slid together along well-worn pathways. Spock saw what McCoy had hesitated to show him.

“Later,” said McCoy.

[petition, acceptance]

“Later,” Spock agreed.

Their hands separated, but their minds remained touching.

“How was the monastery at the bottom of the world? Did you find what you were looking for?” asked McCoy.

“Yes, despite some minor irritations.”

“Well, do you think it will work, or is it just hocus-pocus?”

“Vulcan mysticism is hardly ‘hocus-pocus,’ Doctor, but to answer your question – anything of this nature does require a… leap of faith.”

“I think I can manage that,” said McCoy, smiling.

“The ritual is this – we would relive key parts of our lives together, anything that seems significant or representative of the whole. We would do this together, with our minds touching.”

“That seems simple enough.”

“Yes, but the text was adamant that we not neglect painful subjects. It will be difficult at times.”

“Most things worth doing are.”

“Are you certain, Leonard? That this is something you want?”

“It’s something you want. What I want is the pleasure of giving it to you.”

[petition, acceptance]

“So,” said McCoy, “where do we begin?”

“At the beginning.”

“When I first met you and thought you were smug and insufferable?”

“When you first suggested that we begin a different kind of association.”

“When I still thought you were smug and insufferable.”

McCoy scooted down the bench a bit to allow Spock to sit with his back against the southern wall, then he settled his own back against Spock. Spock put his arms around McCoy.

“Tell me what you remember,” said Spock.

“I remember that you had a little problem, and that I had spent way too long reading Vulcan erotica.”

meta post from  1 / 24 / 2016  ( redux )

       picard  ( any rank )  drunkenly tripping over something like a chair or the threshold to another room and all anyone hears is loud and passionate swearing in nearly incomprehensible french.  or at  RIKER  &  DEANNA’S  WEDDING  bc you can bet your ass there’ll be crates of chateau picard  & singing  “auprès de ma blonde”  ( like he did with his brother robert in season 4 )  after  ( half-assed )  teaching it to riker and wesley and et cetera

singing “sur le pont d’avignon”  ...   s6:  the chain of command,  part two  //  while being tortured  for vital information on starfleet’s defense strategies   picard:  [ on the floor,  sleep deprived and dehydrated ]  sur le pont d'avignon,  on y danse on y danse --  madred  ( torturer ):  wake up!  where were you? picard:  at home.  sunday dinner.  we would all sing afterward. madred:  what a charming picture.  the picard family,  voices raised in song.  is this what's keeping you from breaking?  memories of home and hearth?  images of happier times?  i must congratulate you.  you're remarkably strong willed.   

...  and “frère jacques”  to will & deanna’s  ( future )  kids.  s5:  disaster  //  while giving a tour to the winners of the ship’s school science fair,  shit goes down and picard,  with his broken ankle,  coaxes the three kids to climb before the turbo-lift plummets,  killing them all picard:  we're right with you, patterson.  you're not going to fall.  everything will be all right if you just keep climbing.  what we need is a climbing song.  marissa,  is there a song you sing at school? marissa:  the laughing vulcan and his dog? picard:  ...i’m afraid i don't know that one.  i know!  frère jacques. that's a song i used to sing when i was at school.  patterson,  do you know that one?  good.  it goes like this:  frère jacques,  frère jacques,  dormez vous?  dormez vous? all:  sonnez les matines,  sonnez les matines,  ding ding dong,  ding ding dong. picard:  very good.  now,  keep singing.

        “ON BOARD A MAN O’ WAR”  there's many a brave commander*,  with grief he shook his head  /  but yet their grief had no relief,  for nelson,  he lay dead.  /  it was a fatal musket ball that caused our hero for to fall.  /  he cried  `fight on.  god bless you all '  on board a man of war.

generations  ( film ) picard: right.  oh,  …from being a small child,  i can remember being told about the family line.  the picard who fought at trafalgar.  

s3:  the best of both worlds,  part one guinan:  trouble sleeping? picard:  something of a tradition,  guinan.  the captain touring the ship before a battle. guinan:  before a hopeless battle,  if i remember the tradition correctly. picard:  not necessarily.  nelson toured the HMS Victory before trafalgar. guinan:  yes,  but nelson never returned from trafalgar, did he? picard:  no,  but the battle was won. [ note ]  he’s summoned to the bridge before they finish this conversation,  and soon kidnapped by the borg  in front of  ( commander * )  riker and the rest of the bridge crew

“DON’T FORGET YOUR OLD SHIPMATE” o,  long we’ve tossed on the rolling main,  now we’re safe ashore,  jack

s1:  conspiracy  “friends,  close friends,  are few and far between.  two of the oldest and closest are jack crusher,  may he rest in peace,  and walker keel.  before various missions split us apart,  we were virtually inseperable.”

hc:  he quietly sings it to himself on the anniversary of their deaths over a glass of chateau picard   

OTHER POEMS: THE SECRET OF THE SEA THE SAILOR BOY  ( “fool,”  he answer’d ,  “death is sure  /  to those that stay and those that roam,  /  but i will nevermore endure  /  to sit with empty hands at home. ) CHRISTMAS AT SEA  ( “and well i knew the talk they had,  the talk that was of me,  /  of the shadow on the household and the son that went to sea;  /  and o the wicked fool i seemed,  in every kind of way,  /  to be here and hauling frozen ropes on blessed christmas day.” )

[ note ]  s6:  tapestry  //  picard dies after being shot,  serving as a federation diplomat;  when he awakens,  he finds Q bathed in golden light and is indignant as fuck

Q:  very well.  if you really require more evidence of your post-mortem status,  i guess i’ll just have to provide you some. maurice:  jean-luc,  i told you not to go running off to that academy. picard:  father!  maurice:  i told you that starfleet would bring you to a bad end,  but you wouldn’t listen.  now look at you.  dead before your time. picard:  Q, enough of this. Q:  enough what? maurice:  why couldn’t you have listened?  didn’t you know that i was working for your best interests? picard:  Q, stop this. maurice:  after all these years,  even now,  you manage to disappoint me, jean-luc.    

A SAILOR’S SONG  ( “and swish of rope and ring of chain  /  are music to men who sail the main.  /  then,  if you love me,  let me sail  /  while a vessel dares the deep;” ) 

[ note ]  s1:  we’ll always have paris  //  the enterprise responds to a distress signal;  the wife of the scientist responsible for the chaos is the equivalent of picard’s high school sweetheart,  whom he left behind to pursue his career in starfleet

jenice:  i waited all day.  and it was raining.  it rained the rest of the week.  i went to starfleet headquarters looking for you,  but you'd already shipped out.  so,  come on,  jean-luc.  let's hear the truth. picard:  it was fear.  fear of seeing you,  losing my resolve.  fear of staying,  losing myself.  fear that neither of these choices was right,  and that -- and that either would have -- jenice:  for a long time,  not a day went by when i didn't look up into the sky,  and wonder. picard:  each time that i returned to earth,  my thoughts were filled with you. jenice:  i’ve thought a lot about this over the years,  and perhaps you're leaving out your greatest fear.  the real reason you left. picard:  which was? jenice:  that life with me would have somehow made you ordinary.  

L’HOMME ET LA MER  ( man and the sea )  

hc: will riker recites  “o captain!  my captain!”  at some point after picard’s death thanks to  @psychiatrys​

[1/15/2016 9:56:23 pm] numbah one:  we can make this happen [1/15/2016 9:56:33 pm] master of the stars.: bring it [1/15/2016 9:57:23 pm] numbah one:  i bloody will [1/15/2016 9:57:26 pm] master of the stars.:  here captain [1/15/2016 9:57:31 pm] master of the stars.:  dear father [1/15/2016 9:57:36 pm] master of the stars.: this arm beneath your head [1/15/2016 9:58:11 pm] numbah one: it is some dream that on the deck you’ve fallen cold and dead

“HEART OF OAK” ( here’s the full,  actual song ) sung by an impostor,  yes,  but said impostor has full access to picard’s real memories

s3:  allegiance picard  ( impostor ): you know, back when i was in the academy,  we would follow every toast with a song [ note ] this could be supported by the fact that various crew members eventually join in,  clearly familiar with the words

The Yoda build - the reef awakens.

      When I think of my next reef tank build I always like to put a theme behind them. I Am a big fan of the Star Wars Franchise. We all know that the new Star Wars movie comes out this month, very exciting!  What I am doing with this build is having Star Wars characters make the scene of the sky walker and yoda scene where the x-wing crashes. One of my favourite parts of the movie is when Yoda  uses the force to raise the x-wing out of the swamp. So with this build we will learn how easy it is to put a desk tank reef together. I find a lot of people get stressed and nervous to start their first reef tank but anyone can do it, from the plumbing and sump Install to picking the skimmer and lighting. I believe in this hobby it's all about learning and having fun doing it. So I called up Jalen Husle the godfather_of_korall he deals in moulding figurines that are reef safe material. Check him out on Instagram. I Told him what my build was all about he jumped on board. So he has been

Moulding the X-wing, yoda, Luc and few other figurines. I am very excited to get the build finished. I am also happy to have my children involved with this build too. I designed the build around their names in the Star Wars crawl story at the start of each movie. Below I have the crawl video and pics of what has been taking place. So stay tuned for more yoda updates coming!!

The Reef awakens crawl!  

The tank that will be the stage!  

Episode 2 yoda what gear we will use.  

This is the godfather_of_Korall the artist.
