Kitchen

Try as he might, Data had never been good at cooking. On the Enterprise, Commander Riker had invited Data and others to his quarters in order to prepare them a home cooked meal. He had imparted some wisdom to Data about requiring ‘subtlety’ and ‘flair’ when preparing a meal. This was something that Data had never mastered. Baking is a bit easier due to the straightforward directions, but flavours remain a mystery to him in all contexts. He will either arbitrarily choose flavours based on aesthetic or nutritional value which usually ends up with some hilarious and terrible combinations. 

One thing he does excel at, however, is bartending. Data is very good at remembering orders, following drink recipes, and he finds something endearing about the traditional relationship of a bartender and their patrons.

Send a word and I will write a drabble or headcanon based on it

@parallaxedcaptain // Captain Janeway

Ships docked at all hours every day on Deep Space 9, and none of them concerned Garak. Unless, of course, they were of some use to him. Occasionally, he tangled himself in the affairs of illegal traders or those willing to bring him things of value - information, news, even comfort foods from Cardassia Prime. These visits were few and far between, however and, of course, never involved Starfleet vessels. 

Despite having no connection to them and having no desire to know about them in any regard, Garak always seemed to know when a Starfleet ship was docking. An excited buzz took the station by storm, and twice as many officers in primary colours flooded the Promenade. Commander Dax often threw parties then, and Quark’s was teeming with Terrans or Vulcans or other groups that couldn’t pay the Ferengi directly. It often resulted in Garak losing his lunches with Dr. Bashir and hiding from the masses in his shop. 

Starfleet officers rarely appeared out of uniform, so he could never count on them to come in and make a purchase. Not that he wished they would. Most Starfleet types were notoriously naive. Doe-eyed and wistful with a disillusioned view of the Federation. Garak had a distaste for the whole organization in general. He was sure the crew of this Voyager would be no different.

“Normally, I don't get down with dudes,” Anita’s gruff bit of laughter follows the statement - and it sounds absurd having to say it aloud, but the current situation didn’t exactly look great for her or Elliott, for that matter, considering what Janeway had walked in on. “Look, Captain, you don’t gotta worry about that kinda fraternization, ma’am. Promise. Witt’s just... an idiot lookin’ for advice, but he’s a hands-on learner, y’know? You just... came in at the wrong time.”

“uh,” jo turns around slowly. they’re not in any trouble, at least they don’t think, but there’s a tingle down their spine like they’ve been caught with their hand in a cookie jar anyway. “i’m cadet mccoy. i think i’m a bit lost.” // @parallaxedcaptain​

Q. WHAT WERE YOUR HANDS MEANT TO DO?

A. PRAY. Not necessarily to a god, but to hope. To family. In mud you see art. In shadows you see color. If the world fell apart around you, you would start gluing the pieces back together. Life tastes bitter but you like the bite. Those around you are inspired by your kindness, by your faith, by your hope. You might not speak often, but your words are the loudest in the room. You are rain and its ability to seep into every crack, the promise of new life.

Book Club

She lingered after the others had gone. It was a fine thing to attend something sponsored by the Captain, and she was far from the only one there.

But Kes wanted more, and she waited.

It had seemed to her that the majority of attendance had been there for fellowship and refreshments, but Kes was burning with questions. It had seemed in that time that no one had questions like hers. Nothing complex. Nothing that even seemed to vaguely challenged the Prime Directive, nor the Secondary nor the Third. Kes had listened more than she spoke, but she still had burning questions. So she lingered. So she waited. So she stood beside the remains of the layout of food as if she might choose something, but she did not.

She waited, listening, until she was the last in the room. then Kes went and sat across from the Captain, silent but eagerly awaiting permission to speak with wide blue eyes.

janeway/shep #14

a hundred different kisses | @parallaxedcaptain

Aboard star ships and military cruisers, seeing the stars as vast and wide as they are is never quite the same from a planet side view; though, the Commander lays with her arm behind her head, leg and prosthesis crossed at the ankles upon the blanket beneath herself and the good Captain. The sound of frogs on the pond and insects chittering fills the open countryside of her wife's Indiana homestead.

It's peaceful - a stark contrast to the state of the world only four years ago, nearly to the day.

It's then, Alice Shepard wonders, if that's why Kathryn has suggested this evening be spent in the calm quiet of the night; old war wounds seem to ache more than usual this time of year - a reminder of another time.

Shepard's free hand loosely holds Janeway's in hers in the space between them. As the night progresses, and the sky remains clear, eventually, that space dissipates with Kathryn pressed up against her side.

For warmth, she provides a reason, even though she doesn't need to. Shepard's arm wraps around her out of habit, and only momentarily does her piercing gaze move away from its fixation on the sea of stars to that of wine-coloured lips and auburn hair, and eyes that, even in the moonlight, still appear as dark as the depths of a stormy ocean.

"For warmth," Shepard repeats verbatim before leaning down to kiss her lover, slow and arduous, forgoing the 'why', and living in the now. Together and alone, in sanctuary beneath the stars, and into the night.

" you didn't think we'd just abandon you, did you? "

He had come so close to being reassimilated. He was still shaking. His face twitched and his breaths came in shaky, but he managed a weak smile. “I thought you might find me.”

He gave a nervous laugh. “I just... wasn’t sure if it would be in time or not.”

romance headcanons.

name:   amelia comstock. ( née van nostrand ) nickname:   amelia has titles, not nicknames. however, childhood nicknames of ‘mel’ and ‘melly’ were once common for her to hear. very few use these nicknames now. gender:   female.  romantic orientation:   bisexual . preferred pet names:   darling, dearest, sweetheart. she loves pet names! too bad she never actually hears them.  relationship status:  married ( unfortunately ) to Our Prophet Zachary Hale Comstock™. she is too good for him and needs to go home.  favorite canon / fandom ship:  i am sorry but i am boomelia trash. uptown girl and downtown boy? yes. wild rich girl sees so much more in tired lower east end boy? yes. the struggles both of them would have to face? also yes. im sorry but i want them to have a happy ending.  favorite crossover ship:   hee hee ho ho anything i’ve written with ocelot @parallaxedcaptain​ on her bedelia and her frollo blog and now on discord. 

opinion on true love:   amelia is a romantic at heart. she was, after all, raised by victorians who grew up in the romantic era -- she is filled with ideals of romanticism and romantic literature. yearning and pining and looking into the eyes of someone and feeling rooted or struck or enchanted. she believes in true love - and above all, in love itself - whole heartedly. her notions of love of course have been shaped by the media she consumed in her youth and her own sheltered childhood which enabled some teenage boys to take advantage of her when she was younger. even then, when she was acting out and harming others, she was still a romantic at heart - just hardened to the idea of it and believing that she was undeserving. of course, at this point in her life, she has been indoctrinated and groomed into believing that she ‘loves’ zachary. she does not. he picked her to be his wife and made her into the image of what he believed a perfect wife was. is she attracted to him? yes. does she pity him? yes. does she want to save him? yes. but i don’t think she loves him; and i will not entertain the concept of her really and truly loving the man that indoctrinated and abused her. she thinks she loves him. columbia and the prophet have done a number on what amelia sees as love or understands as love - she’s never full; but always starving.  how ‘romantic’ are they?:   very, of course; just as she is a romantic at heart, she is romantic in gesture and word. amelia enjoys casual touches; the brush of fingertips against the exposed underside of a wrist; linking arms; pressing her cheek into another’s arm -- the gentle brush of a hand over hair, a lingering glance. she loves to touch, and loves being touched. she is a firm believer in quality time and enjoys spending time with those she loves in any setting - be it public or intimate; though values intimate settings above all else. of course, none of this is anything she can indulge in around zachary, but again, columbia and the prophet have both warped what she considers to be love and understands to be love.  ideal physical traits:   amelia loves taller people. and muscles. broad shoulders. she also loves delicate / strong hands and blondes.  ideal personality traits:  kindness. amelia values those who are kind to others as she knows that any one who claims to know and love god will never know god if they are not kind. she values honesty, given that many in her past have been duplicitous. amelia also loves it when the person she is interested in can have fun while understanding when to be serious. she loves to have fun, she loves to revel and adventure - she wants someone who will be the same way, wants someone who will go on these adventures with her. however, she also knows that life cannot always be exhilarating and those who know how to balance it and know when and where to be serious and stick to that are also attractive to her.  unattractive physical traits:   uncleanliness.  unattractive personality traits:   cruelty. she cannot stand cruelty of any sort; cannot stand anyone who is a habitual liar nor can she stand those with inflated egos and too great a sense of self importance. all traits her husband displays lmao. zealots, fanatics - she cannot do it. she is someone who deals with everything and every one in moderation: too much is never a good thing. 

ideal date:   amelia would love to be taken out. to spend a day walking in gardens and in the sunshine; and then she would enjoy spending the evening at a small, intimate dinner and perhaps end it with dancing until the stars are beginning to fade. she likes to feel valued and wanted and as though she and her partner are the only people in the world - she likes feeling grounded and, well, loved - and that means being someone’s focus just for one day; just as she would focus on them as well.  do they have a type?:   yep, lmao. so far it’s all been tall, broad shouldered men with nice hands and very strong gazes/beautiful eyes and slightly taller blonde women with cold exteriors and sharp wit.  average relationship length:   depends? in canon amelia’s had dozens of flings she embarked on with the expressed intent of hurting the other partner; but in my main verse, she’s been married for almost twenty years.  preferred non-sexual intimacy:    closeness. being able to comfortably exist with each other in quiet and feel no need to fill it with nervous or meaningless chatter. she loves to run her hands through another’s hair or have that returned to her - she likes to lay with another; just close, just breathing, just quiet.  commitment level:  i once joked that every ship with amelia ends in marriage and children and i am not lying. she is wife material. your muse will marry her or want to marry her. extreme level of commitment. the ultimate ride or die.  opinion of public affection:   given that it’s 1912 and she’s an extremely religious woman and one of their religious heads - she doesn’t like it and will not engage in anything beyond holding another’s arm. no kisses, no hand holding - nope, nadda, zilch. it makes her uncomfortable and she believes those things are best reserved for the home life and away from prying eyes.  past relationships?:   er, a lot. in canon, again, she’s had many flings and then eventually married either booker or zachary. so. idk. A Fair Few.

𝟏𝟎. 𝐈𝐍𝐒𝐏𝐈𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍: Love writing my favorite characters in general because I enjoy diving more in depth to who they are and expanding on/exploring outside of canon. I also just really love writing badass women who are unapologetically themselves. I’m a sucker for a character that has been through traumatic experiences, done some awful things in their life, and is branded a villain but ultimately is still a good person who tries to grow and move on. All about that redemption arc.
