My Holo-Headcanons that I still need to turn into fics sometime and the original posts I made about them, A Compilation:
The Trouble With Emergency Holograms: La Sirena Tribble shenanigans, already started writing this one but has just been sitting in my WIPs for like a year.
Multiple Personalities: Some Sci-Fi reason the holos all have to temporarily be inside of Cris's head so they temporarily take over his body like That Episode With Data or That Episode With Seven, or kind of like That Other Episode With Seven and Doc although personally I'd prefer this to be an episode and not a fic, so we actually get to see Santi doing the rapidly-switching-between-personalities thing.
Holo Programs for Emergency Holos: Steward's recreational holo-program for the EHs where everyone gets to have their own dream job that's supposed to be not what they're programmed for, like an "if you could do anything other than your current job, what would it be" scenario. Emil is just... A doctor. Or is he? His hospital is actually a front for his secret spy base and no one knows it until Enoch spies on Emil and then the secret's out.
The Importance of Being Eddie: Rios pretends to be an Emergency Hologram that doesn't exist to get out of a conversation when he was Not in the mood for anything resembling social interaction; it was quick and easy and felt really good so he started using this excuse more, so he invents Eddie, the Emergency Departure Hologram. The Holos hear Rios doing this sometime and decide to help him out and have some fun of their own, so they take turns pretending to be this Eddie holo so people don't only see Eddie when they're looking for the captain and Eddie doesn't only leave the room to "find him" and never come back. And things... Get out of hand. Title named after the fact that this sounds suspiciously close to a variation of "Bunburying" as Algernon named it in The Importance of Being Earnest (I also love the fact that his name is Eddie, as named by @enigma-the-mysterious, specifically for the fact that it's reminiscent of Edward Hyde that this also... kind of resembles, if you squint, although the name came from "Emergency Departure Hologram" and was not, as far as I know, a literary allusion)
Hospitality: The origin of the Emergency Hospitality Holograms, an idea pitched to Doc when working on the Emergency Hologram Basic Installation Package, by his friend and fellow Voyager veteran Neelix, after meeting another beloved self-aware hologram, Vic Fontaine. Not exactly a story about our Holos on La Sirena, but sort of an origin story for Steward, so related.
The KitKats and That Time Cris's Generosity Was Mistaken for Negligence: Working title. Two things were talked about here; a Cute Fluff story where Enoch gets to have Emil's KitKat because Emil doesn't like them, but there are Conditions, and;
Rios handing some things out the the holos, and Enoch sneaks back in line seeing if he can get away with getting Two without Cris noticing, and when Cris does give him another without any comment, he is suddenly worried that Cris really didn't notice that one of the holos was there twice and he's slightly offended.
Holo-ween: The Holos have a tradition on Halloween; try to confuse Rios about which Holo is which. They switch it up every time, including one time all of them looking exactly like him with no other visual or auditory indications of differences.
Portal: The Holo Squad play Portal. That's it, that's the entire thing.
I Swear My Smart Devices Are Alive: A modern AU where the EHs are Cris's smart devices and Agnes is the cute IT Tech who comes over to fix them when their idiosyncrasies get on Cris's nerves enough.
Forgery: The Holos can mimic Cris's handwriting perfectly...
Collection: This one is actually post-Picard S1, or during. Elnor wants to learn about why people have... Stuff. Just, stuff, for no apparent purpose, that they seem very attached to (read: Cris and his mermaid statues). Steward tries his best to explain it to him and the Holos show Elnor their own collections and hobbies, and help him find hobbies of his own.
Diagnostics: Ian takes his duty as their equivalent of ""Doctor"" to his fellow Emergency Holograms very seriously, but in true Rios-fashion, neglects to take care of himself. This results in the actual EMH having to step in. @talvenhenki already did an absolutely wonderful fic based on this idea that I love in chapter 8 of Voyages of the Freighter La Sirena, but I might do a version of my own. Maybe it will take place not long before this one, when Emil (and possibly Agnes, as mentioned in that version above, so that's an idea) goes to Ian before Cris intervenes. Anyway, whether or not I ever actually write it, definitely go read that version!
Emergency Command Hologram: A theory I had pre-Stardust City Rag that started off as a joke and turned into "wait this would actually be fun if not in canon, at least as an AU" - I have subsequently decided that this is going to be a recurring nightmare of Rios's, that he finds out that the real him died and he's a holographic copy of himself as a modified ECH the holos have been using to fake still having a captain. That he actually died and the holos covered it up to avoid being deactivated permanently or changed by the ship's next owner. The cover up aspect, of course, goes "nicely" with Cris's trauma.
Steward and His Roombas: I really don't know where the original stuff is for this (the link to the post is broken now, I don't know where it went) but this was completely inspired by Stabby the Space Roomba about Steward and his ship cleaning bots and Emmet taping a knife to one of them like the infamous Stabby that inspired the wonderful, beautiful fic @procrastinatorproject wrote and gifted to me, A Night at the Opera. Please go read it if you haven't (and reread it if you have). And listen to the podfic version @thelaithlyworm is making, here. They're both wonderful!
Meta that aren't fic ideas but are interesting/important observations and/or headcanons:
An Exploration of Emmet's Tattoos: Pictures, identification of whatever I could identify, and discussion of all of Emmet's various tattoos that we have been able to see on screen so far.
Connection: The holograms in the Emergency Hologram Basic Installation Package are interconnected with each other and the ship in intricate ways. This post itself is mostly a meta on the holos instead of an actual plot bunny but there's definitely stuff that can be done with these concepts.
Emergency Hologram Basic Installation Package: I have character bios for each of the holograms on my carrd that also has some headcanons about the EHBIPs as well. Carrd Home Page; Emil; Enoch; Steward; Emmet; Ian.
Also, these ideas are open for other people to steal (I would love but it's not required to credit me and possibly any others who helped make these ideas, as shown on their original posts, since a lot of them were definitely a collaborative thing).
If you do use any of these ideas, feel free to reblog this with the link to it!!

The Knight Stars - Session 22 - Drama in the Streets, Secrets in the Sheets
Our latest DnD shenanigans. (Previous session summaries found here.)
Mornath head towards the temple, taking lesser traveled roads and alleys.
Rue and Cinder have to get away from the docks and meet up with Cael to run interference for Team A (Mornath and Helio) in case we draw unwanted attention.
Cinder hams up the pain of dropping shit on her foot and succeeds in getting the boss to tell her to go home so he doesn’t get in trouble with the dock workers’ guild.
Rue gets off the ship by crawling across the underside of the gangplank to the dock.
Team B spots a Witchfinder ahead and signals to Team A to take a different route. Rue takes a prat fall into a fruit stall to distract people from Team A’s movements. It draws the Witchfinder and their guard friends’ attention, but she slips away through the crowd. She gets separated from everyone else for a minute.
They encounter some thugs in an alley. Mornath tries to tell them to fuck off in Thieves’ Cant, but it’s unsuccessful and she gets nice and stabbed for her trouble. Heliodoro gets grappled at thwacked with a club.
Mornath casts Magic Missile and has a wild surge that makes her immune to alcohol for the next 15 days.
Heliodoro uses Command to tell the thugs to flee, but only the one holding him runs.
Cael and Cinder struggle to find some way to help that won’t hurt their friends too. Cinder Holds Person successfully on Stabby McStab-Stab.
Mornath Shocking Grasps the one attacking Helio and pats the cheek of Stabby, saying “Yer such a fuckin’ fool.”
Helio fucks up his assailant with his sword and knocks him out.
Rue uses Vicious Mockery on Stabby and says “his mother would be ashamed of him, and that he probably needs to wash his dick”.
Cinder thwacks Stabby unconscious with her staff. Helio ties up the thugs to be found by the guards.
The squad splits back up. Team B goes back to scouting. Cael spots some guards ahead harassing people to go home before curfew. We decide to distract our way through them inside of taking the long way around.
Helio pulls a big preacher act and Cinder plays heckler. Cael pulls an obnoxious tourist act on the guards. Rue makes shit fall off a roof. Mornath slips on by to the temple of Gond with the box of goods and signals to the squad that mission is completed.
The priests check the goods and thank us. They’re now willing to help us with our revolutionary endeavors.
Back at the tavern, Mornath asks Helio if Lander talks about her a lot and, being rather drunk, he gets weirdly moody and tells her that Lander is a good man and he’s happy that she has him in her life. He then takes a big swig from his tankard. Mornath is confused by this, unsure what he means and worried that he’s not okay. He says he will be, which does not satisfy her, but she knows better than to press, especially while he’s drunk. They share some affectionate words and Mornath leans on his shoulder.
Later, Helio, still drunk, asks Cael if he knew that he has three brothers and tells him that one of his brothers recently got ghosted by a drow and his name is Davorda. Cael recognizes the name and starts sweating.
