If the crew became kids
I doubt this is going to happen, especially because TNG already did it, but I would personally have such a great time.
An overarching theme would be Una's height because reasons, and because her talking to someone and suddenly having to look down at some child would be hilarious.
So some kidifying ray swept the ship, affecting them either one at a time or all at once.
Chris will not shut up about horses. He's swinging his legs on the biobed and chattering away. He accidentally interrupts and is so apologetic bc he never wants to be rude!!!! He wants to be friends!!! "Are we friends?" Spock has to look down at his captain/father figure and say "...yes. Chris." (Also Chris stares up at Una and says she's pretty bc he has more brains as a child than a grown man). He stares out at the stars with the biggest eyes.
Una the preteen is the same height as La'an and La'an is pretending not to be salty about it. They know she's Illyrian and she Freaks Out, and she and La'an have a talk about accepting themselves and not being defined by what others think that is more educational for La'an than for Una. What a gangly woman. She is out here constantly knocking things over, and the crew sees someone who had to grow into herself as much as anyone. Her default response is silence and big scared eyes but she can be tempted with some trivia. Erica spends hours showing her the flight controls.
Spock is a complete deadpan sassbucket and no one is prepared. the cute chubby cheeks. The bowlcut. His babysitters lose sight of him for sixty seconds and he disassembles a replicator because he heard a funny noise. Don't touch that. Why? *is touching it* They cannot make him believe he is in fact an adult and they're trying to fix him. "Mother says to find a mother with children and ask her for help if I get lost." Man asks Una for help because he's lost. Legend.
Uhura is such a little imp. Once she gets over being scared she disappears into the jeffries tubes. Her giggling echoes through the ship like the ghost of a demonic victorian child. Hemmer is down to let her roam but Una crawls in and drags her out. If any of the kids get a leash, it's Uhura. Erica distracts her with sweets. She needs to be occupied at all times or she will wander away.
Erica is the surliest eleven year old. Everyone expected her to be the easy child but she makes a point of being difficult. Una is tearing her hair out and Chris is like yes but have you considered. She is eleven. She's edgy and moody and everyone is like how did our Erica come from you. Una says she's the best pilot she's ever met and sits her at the helm and Erica stops her griping for a bit. She determinedly does not show interest but she does look at the buttons and subtly watch Jenna doing her job.
La'an has a lisp and sucks her thumb. Una insists she has to stay with her. For security reasons. Una has to go yell at people and La'an is holding her hand/on her hip the whole time. Everyone else is curious about little La'an but Una goes NO get your OWN. Little La'an wants hugs and cuddles and Una goes well if I must. For Starfleet. Chris does get custody for a while and he carries la'an around on his shoulders.
Christine and her big fat smart mouth. ackshually I read about this and you're wrong. Her sass is only matched by baby Spock. Grown Spock does not know how to handle it. This eight year old and her sassy little crossed arms leave everyone speechless with the sheer audacity. Joseph "don't touch that you'll break it" vs Christine "we use these at school all the time I know what to do" *breaks it* "... I didn't do that."
Joseph is the smiliest boy. He's having a great time. He follows Christine around and asks her about everything. Someone is in Sickbay with a sprained ankle or something and Joseph goes hmm. Looks like you're real sick. Do you have chicken soup here. He's the most charming little kid. Everything he does is cute. Everyone gets hugs and secret handshakes.
Hemmer, like Spock, takes stuff apart for the heck of it. Uhura tries to distract him by asking about Andoria and he could not care less. Man is tearing apart the EPS manifold and Uhura goes ...buddy let's not do that. Una says stop and he stops. All the deadpan blind jokes. Look away for two seconds and he is actively climbing into the warp core. What are you doing?!?!? Hemmer *shrugs*
Pelia is off like a shot all over the place. Talking a mile a minute. Young Pelia is such a foreign idea no one knows how to handle it. She's their wise old hermit and their wise old hermit is hanging upside down off the biobed. Now she's on the ground and her head hurts. Oh crap she's crying.

Star Trek: Strange Noir Worlds
Fanmade Spocklaan poster inspired by the news that we'll get a Hollywood murder mystery in season 3. I really hope it'll be a noir episode.

Hear me out.
Voyager SNW AU.
Wherein: Chris Pike captains Voyager into the badlands chasing the renegade Illyrian ship Astra captained by former Starfleet officer Una Chin-Riley who escaped custody after her genetic status as Illyrian was revealed.
Wherein: Upon transport to the Delta Quadrant it is revealed that La'an Noonien-Singh, the Astra's tactical officer, has been working for SF the whole time as a spy and is actually Pike's tactical officer.
Wherein: Una's dearest childhood friend Neera has been transported to the Caretakers array along with Spock from Voyager.
Wherein: Ortegas and Chin-Riley have beef with each other but also a grudging respect for each other's piloting skills
Wherein: A grumpy Andorian brought by an earlier Caretaker wave insists they rescue his friend Uhura from the Kazon. It's 100% platonic. Una and Hemmer go way back and she convinces Pike to help them. She regrets it slightly when Hemmer pretends to be a wizard who can conjure water from thin air, but the Kazon don't spend the next several years chasing them down for replicators because they don't know they exist.
Wherein: Uhura immediately crawls into Voyagers communications array and upgrades the system and also is able to provide diplomatic protocols for the surrounding area. Hemmer is there "to fix what is broken" so they throw him into engineering with Neera to see what will happen.
Wherein: Dr M'Benga's daughter is cured accidentally while in the Caretaker's "care". Naomi Wildman will grow up with a playmate. Christine Chapel was on the Illyrian ship and is very excited to play with the latest Starfleet tech. M'Benga spends a lot of time fishing on the holodeck.
Wherein: Pike and Una now have to get everybody home but you know what they're gonna bang the whole way because there's no misogyny in this version in this essay I will...

So who wants to write those soulmate stories where their first words to each other is written on each other. "Frustrating" and "Why don't you join us?" are as good as any.

okay, here i come with my christine defense bc i already see christine criticisms, yet nothing about spock.
was christine wrong for not telling spock about the fellowship sooner? yes, but there was only a few hours between christine finding out she got accepted and spock asking her about the fellowship!
but spock is not blameless in this episode either!
spock acted entitled. first, he was noisy about christine's private files even though he knew it was unethical. second, he pressured christine into talking right after he and uhura decided to heighten someone's feelings as an experiment.
knowing how useless her defense mechanisms would be in that musical universe, he basically forced her into baring her soul and vulnerabilities!
he did that in front of their friends and strangers, completely disregarding christine's needs for privacy.
that was manipulative, pushy and absolutely not the way you act with someone who has emotional issues due to their war trauma.
we can say that both christine and spock were written out of character without any misogynistic double standards!

Poor, La'an. 😭😭😭Wish I could see more main universe Kirk, but honestly Paul Wesley catches all facets of Kirk's character and I really love that. The writers also obviously just really love TOS? There's so many references to the OG show and explanations to why au!kirk says some of what he says.
"I'm from space" he's literally from space in this au, lmao. The whole lack of understanding of old earth culture, because he grew up in a world where he couldn't even fathom a sunrise and even less interactions with earth-like planets. Like, goddamn. But underneath it all he's still Kirk. <3 Love him.
Hell, the episode even follows a classic Kirk falls in love episode. But the main character is the love interest and she's hella in depth. Fucking perfect.

snw au
I've seen a few fics where La'an feels like Una could have taken her in as a child but didn't, and where Una herself considered it and felt guilty for not adopting La'an. And I am a sucker for found family/adoption AUs.
Ensign Una decides to keep La'an. Her CO on the King Jr. fights it, but Una asks La'an, and it's what La'an wants.
this is before there were any child-friendly starship assignments, so Una gets herself assigned to a space station. She misses the stars, but they're still surrounding her. And La'an shifted her priorities
There aren't a lot of opportunities for pilots on a space station, so Una transfers to operations and fakes it til she makes it. She's a quick study and people notice. It gives her the ability to advance in her career without being reassigned.
A few people think she’s stuck up bc she came from command. The people who work out that she transferred for La’an have enormous respect for her. But you don't even need to know that to fear her organizational skills.
by the time she makes lt cmdr, she's chief engineer of the station.
La'an, meanwhile, grew up in a steady home with someone who chose her. Which is the main thing I want for her.
Una is tough on La'an with school, but she makes time and effort to help if La'an is struggling.
by the time she's 15, La'an can navigate all the jeffreys tubes in the station bc Una lets her crawl around with her.
Lt. Pike is on a ship assigned to the sector that frequently docks at the station. Ever the explorer, he finds Una around the station a few times by accident before he starts looking on purpose. You see a woman and her daughter climbing out a jeffreys tube enough times it starts to stick in your memory.
La'an grows up and goes to Starfleet academy, and Captain Pike snatches Una up as chief engineer on the Enterprise.
my main wish is for La'an to have a stable upbringing!!!! give my girl some peace and a safe place to return and grow!!! And I like Una thriving and taking ownership wherever she goes. She'd be noticeable no matter what
it would also be pikeuna. of course.

funny thing about early season 1 is that you can sometimes read more emotions on Spock’s face than on McCoy’s lol

Free Days And Time To Relax - Katrina Cornwell/Una Chin-Riley
A/N: Day 8 of @theadmiralslegion 's Katoberfest and here's... a chaotic feast of prompts to end on.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Later Kat would wonder how she survived, she would wonder how she was supposed to forgive herself for not following through on her sacrifice… and then she’d wake. Una is still there, by her side, silently monitoring her rest. She’s survived, she learns, because Una is stubborn, Una turned to outside help, a mysterious being who hadn’t given Una a name. Not even a letter. Free Days, Una says now, had been spent here, by her side. She doesn’t say it, but Kat senses from her awkwardness, that there’s only one bed here, that Una has slept curled against her like some kind of talisman of love and safety. Silence falls, Katrina watches Una’s blush seem to glow and leans up slowly to kiss her, softly, deeply, passionately. All the things she used to hide. It’s the first kiss they’ve ever had, the first real show of love from her. She doesn’t move away and when Una shifts onto the bed over her, she swallows only slightly, reaching to pull Una down into a second kiss. “I knew you were trouble….” Katrina murmurs, gaining a delighted laugh from Una before kissing her again. She means it, but she’s never really minded the potential for trouble, not when Una feels like her one true partner, the person who loves her not despite who or what she is, but because of it. “Look who’s talking…” Una’s voice is a murmur, her smile soft as they trade another kiss. “I could be thrown out of Starfleet for this… saving you. I never even cared. This, you, were the most important mission I could ever have had. Saving you was all I ever wanted… I didn’t even dare hope that you might love me back.” “I do.” Katrina promises with such open tenderness that Una smiles, leaning to rest her forehead against Katrina’s, her voice soft. “I know, I can feel it.” Silence falls, Katrina shivers without meaning to and Una laughs, settling over her so they are cuddling, her natural warmth stilling Katrina instantly. “Better?” “Much…. You are so warm.” She means it but she can’t help her smile before adding. “You are perfect, my Una.”
