Art by Chris Yarborough.
Sometimes to save the world, you've got to punch a few dragons…
When the planet is being eaten by interdimensional parasites who literally tear holes in reality, what do you do? If you're Charlie Chase, you dive headfirst into an interdimensional adventure. Charlie knows her calling is a weighty one, but she trusts her mentor’s orders: Travel to another dimension, fix the tear, and get home to do it all over again.
But when she gets stuck on an alternate Earth, she has to turn to the most unexpected of allies: a younger, more eccentric, more infamous version of the brilliant mind that sent her on her mission. This version of Vera Baum is as much socialite as scientist, who seems to embrace the notion that curiosity killed the cat, in the way that means she's determined to use up all nine of her lives blasting through a kaleidoscope of genre-bending realities. Things are going to get a lot worse before they get better, especially when they’re pursued by reality-eating parasites and a biomechanical hound hellbent on killing Vera.
Ladyhoppers by Sarah Thérèse Pelletier and Scott James Taylor, a casually queer, genre-hopping, multiverse-spanning, madcap buddy comedy packed full of flaming zeppelins, coffee shop romances, car chases, dragon punching scientists, and more pirates than you can shake a multi-limbed death machine at, is available for order now!

i havent been able to stop thinking about this... so obikin orpheus/eurydice au.
set in the gffa post fall of the jedi/order 66, obi-wan is hiding and full of guilt because he believes what happened is his fault. qui-gon visits him and tells him that there is a way to save anakin's soul from the darkness, but it's a trek that will test obi-wan in ways he had never been tested before and he will have to confess everything he kept hidden from anakin (his love).
obi-wan agrees, because qui-gon promised him that anakin could/wanted to be saved, so he goes to rescue anakin from 'palpatine's claws'. but once he goes to where the sith is, his faith wavers when he sees vader go full lord sith and realises that anakin made those choices, wasn't coerced by anyone.
however, he prevails, with qui-gon's words echoing in his head, and decides to step forward and talk to vader as if he was still anakin, believing in him.
vader senses him and gets ready for a fight, but is confused when obi-wan shows he has no lightsaber.
anakin/vader doesn't want to fight even though he is still full of anger, as he believed his master despised him, but agrees to listen to what he was to say. obi-wan confesses, despite feeling as if his tearing himself apart, but the more obi-wan shows he still believes in anakin's goodness, the more the dark loses its grip on vader/anakin.
vader (now more anakin than vader) wants to go with obi-wan, but for that to happen they have to do a sort of mind meld thing through their very very weakened bond to take anakin from the dark and bring forward the light.
once he finds the one speck of light inside of anakin and aims to bring it forward, he realises there's a catch. he has to believe that the goodness in anakin wants to come forward, but he can't walk side by side with it. he has to guide it, trusting anakin's light side is right behind him.
at first, obi-wan is confident, but the more he treks and is unable to hear/sense anakin, the more he starts to doubt, until, right when they're about to enter, doubt grips his heart and makes him want to turn around and see if anakin truly is right behind him, wanting to redeem himself.
the question is... does obi-wan turn to check, or does this jaded, torn apart, hurt version of obi-wan continues to believe in anakin despite it all?

Thank you, my friends, for keeping me in your thoughts while I took a two week hiatus from posting. I did still enjoy reading your own work! I'm back from vacation now, and have some things to share (and fewer WIPs for the moment, since Raising Dragons and Tickle the Dragon's Tail and Threads of Fate are posted) (We'll see how long that lasts).
Thank you to all of you who've tagged me while I was gone: @artsyunderstudy, @alleycat0306, @aroace-genderfluid-sheep, @j-nipper-95@prettygoododds, @fatalfangirl, @larkral, @whatevertheweather, @blackberrysummerblog, @nausikaaa, @annabellelux, @ionlydrinkhotwater, @shrekgogurt, @ivelovedhimthroughworse, @nightimedreamersghost, @you-remind-me-of-the-babe, @confused-bi-queer, @palimpsessed, @theearlgreymage, and @iamamythologicalcreature! Tag Backsies for today or Wednesday!
Here we go!
From my nameless Age of Sail Au:
Baz
I’ve never been so scared in my life. 
Each time the ship falls forward into the trough of an enormous wave, I’m certain that this is the end, that the ship will roll and capsize, dragging us under to drown. I can only breathe again once we start to rise up the crest of the next wave. 
I think Simon is as frightened as I am, but he’s hiding it well. Still, I feel his arm tense up against mine each time the ship pitches and rolls, and I hear his faint gasp of relief each time we survive again. 
It feels like the ship is tossed about the vast ocean like a toy for hours, but there’s really no way of knowing how long it’s been when an immense jolt shudders through the frame of the ship.
From my 2023 COTTA, Snow Fox:
“You’re not going to die tomorrow!” my voice is fierce, and Baz startles at my volume. “You’re not,” I repeat, lowering my voice. I step into him, pressing my naked flesh to his. His breath catches in his chest at the feel of me against him. I can see his face now, and my chest hurts at the doubt and sorrow I read there. 
“You can’t promise that,” he says, shaking his head.
From my 2021 COTTA (wince): Westward Son:
We want to make up the time we lost by stopping early yesterday, so everyone is skipping a morning meal around the campfire. Instead, Henri passes about the coffee ewer so we can fill a canteen with the energizing drink, and we all stuff some nuts and dried meat and fruit in our pockets, to eat while we’re on the move. 
When our small caravan starts single file up the narrow mountain road, I shiver a little. It’s getting colder, but that’s not why. I shiver because the few wagons and people that walk ahead of us seem so insignificant and helpless against the might of the Blue Mountains. I close my eyes briefly and say a small prayer to any gods that actually exist, that we’ll come out of these mountains in the same condition in which we’re entering. 
From the upcoming chapter of Saving Simon Snow:
“Not only is my father quite unhappy with my queerness, he’s probably furious that he has to give up punishing you in order to save me.”
I think about that. It makes sense. I’m sorry that Baz’s relationship with his father was harmed by his bond to me, but I can’t exactly be sorry that the old homophobe was forced to accept Baz’s situation. 
“That and he probably doesn’t want to have to think about us having gay sex in his house,” I say wryly. 
From the upcoming chapter of The Naked Next (coming in the next day or so!):
As I stride to sickbay, Simon cuddling into my chest and babbling praises of my beauty into my collarbone, I’m thinking furiously. What is this disease, if it is a disease? It acts like intoxication. Are the effects the same? Is this how Simon would act with the lowered inhibitions of an inebriated state? I’ve never seen him drunk. But…in vino veritas, isn’t that what humans say?
From: To Heal a Broken Heart (probably posting in the next six weeks!) (Sorry it took so long, Macey!):
“All th’ years I fought w’ you…and I was in love w’ you the whole time—that’s so stupid. I’m so stupid.” He laughs through his teeth like a donkey braying. 
I laugh too, at the sound. Then my sluggish brain processes what he said. “Wait, what?”
Simon’s face is turned away from me, so I reach out to shake his arm. “What did you say?”
He doesn’t answer. Instead, his head rolls towards me like its strings have been cut. His eyes are open and his face is vacant. 
“Simon!”
So, I'm momentarily back down to six WIPs, lol. Except I just started plotting a canon divergence where Simon's known to be Davy's son and therefore Baz sets out to seduce him in order to get at the Mage...and Fristi and I are working out a new idea....Also still thinking about the Simon as a tiktok dancer au...sigh.
Tagging, along with everyone above, (since it's actually still Sunday for once):

The Uh-Oh'd accidental merging of War Tactics Hologram Nihlus (Theta 6) and Renegade Captain Jet [Star Trek AU]
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This happens during their ill fated 'Chief Engineer Margo thought it would be neat to ask Captain Jet to test a new ship neural interface she picked up from a trader that had the potential to streamline ship function since they're working with a skeleton crew' without realizing quite the effect that would have when their ships computer is run by a program designed almost entirely for combat engagements. The Unit they make together is rather... ruthless in dealing with any that stand in their way.
This is of course ALSO while they're on the run from Starfleet. Jet and some assorted crew had stolen their ship and ran with Nihlus after he returned from being forcefully de-compiled.
Nihlus had previously been a Medical Training hologram for Kix with an experimental adaptation matrix, and was reborn into a War Tactics hologram with an experimental adaptation matrix capable of coordinating multiple ships as one Deadly unit, by a group of romulans whom he killed by depressurizing said unit of ships once he had the chance for the previously stated reprogramming)
The way their crew managed to separate them again so they could safely remove the device was based entirely off of the fact that Nihlus is gay and does NOT want to fuck Jets girlfriend and Jet is straight and does NOT want to fuck Nihlus boyfriend, Whereas Nihlus VERY MUCH wants to fuck Kix and Jet VERY MUCH wants to fuck Mary Ann

i came back like two days ago and here i am just dumping all of my thoughts online but anyway
i want a legends star trek au. i want sara and the gang at the star trek academy, forming a rag tag group who are given an old ship and sent on some junk missions and they come back having saved the galaxy.
and what if every ship and a clone and ava doesn't really think she's a real person, and the team convinces her she's an important part of the team and she's irreplacable...
and i think they'd all look fun in the uniforms!!

A slight departure (see what I did there? well, you will in a moment) for day three of @almost-a-class-act's spooky prompts.
Character A turns up at a support group for people who claim to have been abducted by aliens.
I apologise for any distress to David Stirling.
David doesn’t know how he gets himself into these situations. He certainly doesn’t know how he got himself into this one. One moment he had been stumbling out of an apartment in Cairo, and the next he had found himself waking strapped to some kind of medical bed, while masked people in garish clothing had waved noisy lights over his face before packing him off into this grey and featureless room.
He’s not the only person in the room. There are four strangers in chairs beside him, three women and a man, with expressions on their faces ranging from the terrified to the faintly bored. In fact, on closer expression, the blonde woman who had taken the seat furthest in the corner when they had entered, he’s pretty sure has fallen asleep. A young squirrelish sort of chap in a red and black uniform stands in front of all of them, clutching hold of what looks like a clipboard with a white-knuckled grip.
They took his flask away hours ago, and he can already feel the stirrings of what undoubtedly is going to be a shitting awful hangover crawling their way through his head with a frankly ungodly alacrity. He folds his arms, as if that’s going to do a fucking thing to stop it, and sinks lower into his seat.
“So you see,” the rodentlike boy is saying, “if we all just keep calm and let the professionals do their jobs, there will be absolutely nothing to worry about. Now, before we begin the session, are there any questions?”
He smiles in what David can only assume is meant to be a reassuring manner. It’s rather more reminiscent of intense constipation. 
“I have a question.” He doesn’t raise himself from his slouch when he calls out. The rictus grin turns its focus towards him. 
“Yes, Mr, ah…” The boy looks down at a small object in his hand. “Stirling?”
“Major,” David says. The boy frowns.
“Oh no,” he says. “I’m just an ens-”
“Major Stirling.”
“Oh.” The smile drops a little, which improves it somewhat, and he gestures for David to continue.
“Please forgive me if this is an impertinent question,” David says. “But am I on drugs?”
“I beg your pardon?”
“Am I inebriated?” He purses his lips. “Unusually so?” 
“I don’t understand.”
“Perhaps I have had a very serious and unexpected fall and have suffered some kind of brain injury?”
The boy audibly gulps and taps at the object in his hand. “I can’t see anything in your medical report, Mr, uh Major, sir.”
David nods, slowly. “Then I suppose there’s no chance that this is all a strange and somewhat alarmingly vivid hallucination made by my dreaming mind due to, I don’t know, an 'undigested bit of beef or blot of mustard'?” 
He doesn’t mean to shout. But it feels quite good to be doing it. He finds himself standing, hand on hips and the boy - increasingly, gratifyingly, paling in front of him - backing up until he hits the far wall and can go no farther. David starts to stalk towards him.
“Where. The. Fuck. Am. I?” he asks.
There’s a yank on the back of his shirt and he stumbles a little, whirling to face whoever it is that has just grabbed hold of him. He finds himself face to face with the blonde woman, who, now awake, is looking at him quite unfairly. 
“Dude,” she says. “You’re on a spaceship. Sit back down and let him speak.” She gestures at the boy, who looks to be actively pretending that he’s not cowering behind the corner of a table. “Go on, kid. Do your thing.”
In all honesty, he doesn’t have the energy to bristle. Out of spite, he does not sit down, but he lets himself be pulled back until the boy feels it safe enough to emerge from the place he certainly wasn’t hiding. He hears a muttered ugh behind him and elects ignores it.
“Fine,” he says to the boy. “Go on then.”
The boy lets out a long breath then begins to speak again, slightly squeakier than before. “Ok. Right. Yes. So. Here’s the thing. On behalf of the captain, I have been asked to extend my sincerest apologies for the inconvenience. You have all been temporarily relocated to the USS Crozier - and yes, this is a spaceship, we are currently in space - due to, again, a temporary malfunction in our transporter system.”
David raises his hand. The boy blinks and carries on as if he has not noticed, though his voice speeds up to an even higher pitch.
“Please rest assured that we are doing everything we can to return you to your own location in spacetime-”
David waves.
“I will be on hand as your liaison, to answer any questions-”
He clears his throat.
“-that you may have, to the best of my ability.”
“Hello.”
“You will be provided with food, drinks, any other amenities you may-”
“I have another question.”
The boy sighs and honestly, David reckons that it’s about as much of an acknowledgment as he’s going to get. He’s done a lot more with a lot less.
“Are you saying we’ve been abducted by aliens?”
There is silence for a long moment. Patience has never been the most lauded virtue of David Stirling, he’s as willing to admit that as anyone, but he would hate to let it ever be said of him that he did not have an absolutely exquisite innate instinct for the dramatic, and so he waits, with a raised eyebrow for the boy to answer.
“Abducted,” the boy says, slowly, “is a rather harsh word for it.” His lips purse. “But… yes. From your perspective, yes, I suppose you have.”
David sits down. 
“Don’t worry,” the blonde woman tells him. “We’re going to get through this one together.”
She winks and pats his knee. He groans.
Fuck, but he needs a drink.
(feat. poor Vane, who doesn't know why he keeps getting these kinds of jobs, he's no good with people. Also David hasn't noticed he's Bajoran yet. Also feat. a very particular timetraveller, whose fault this definitely is, though nobody needs to know that yet).

Did you have any plans for DuckTales in space as a DuckTales Space AU? And if you are, do you want to improvise it? Do you think it's a good idea to have Huey, Dewey and Louie from Ducktales 2017 as future astronauts? I would also like to ask you if, apart from the DuckTales reboot version, do you have any such plans for other versions as well? I'm just asking, I'm interested in your opinion. 😄
Sorry for the late reply, but I'll put it this way. Yes, I had planned it before, although with numerous obligations I am not able to do everything. If you have seen my previous answer, I think it speaks volumes.
But I'm already making some plans about it and I'll post in the next days and months about it, as well as my drawings related to the given topics, and also about Ducktales in space, as you mentioned.
I think they would make great astronauts considering their mother Della Duck, but they would fare better if they were a little older to the boys and adults when they went on endless adventures. Unfortunately, aside from Della Duck's trip to the moon and the Moonvasion episode, we didn't get to see the space adventures (I guess you mentioned that earlier in your posts), and the OG Ducktales had a lot of episodes about that, even pretty unrealistic ones, but that is still cartoon. Yes, I have a lot of gripes with the Ducktales reboot and yes, I too wish they had focused more on space travel, considering the current themes, unless you're a flat earther. There are alternatives though and I hope I can help you with this. And don't worry, there will be a lot of surprises about this, and you might like some topics about it. If you want, you can recommend me some things about the next fanfictions and my future drawings. Using other versions besides the Ducktales reboot wouldn't be bad, although I have different views on the other versions.
For now, if you want, look at online comics related to Donald Duck and space travel and there are interesting stories there and you can read them freely. Thank you for asking and I hope you are satisfied with my answers and if you want, feel free to keep asking me. I wish you a nice day.

Star Trek: Voyager But The Caretaker Also Grabbed Ships From A Galaxy Far Far Away
I don't know, maybe the Star Wars Galaxy is in the same direction as the Alpha Quadrant anyway. So, joining Voyager it is!
Aaannnd I've decided in the five seconds I stepped away that Season 4 Ghost Crew + Rex and Kallus is the most interesting.
Hera would tell the rest of her crew that since the Ghost is toast, they're kinda dependent on the Voyager crew to get even somewhat closer to their home, so if the strange people want you to wear their weird uniforms and answer up a chain of command, you go do it. Space mom's orders are to be followed.
I don't think any of them actually become temporary Starfleet personnel, just Civilians like Neelix and Kes. At least at first, they could potentially join down the line. Part of this is they're already part of a command structure, one they'd very much like to get back to, and part of it is they don't know how anything works?
Star Wars and Star Trek technology are very different. Like, warp drives must seem ridiculous from the perspective of people raised on hyperdrives, but replicators are almost more magical than Force powers. Universal translators instead of super annoying protocol droids providing a running commentary? Insane. Wait, what do you mean the murder droid technically qualifies as sentient by your laws, and therefore we aren't allowed to turn him off? That's the only thing that gets him to stop threatening our lives!
Intake physicals reveal, in no particular order: Hera's pregnant (to the surprise of everyone but Kanan), Federation medical technology can restore Kanan's vision (he jumps on the chance to see his family again like a Corellian jumps on a freighter), and the EMH has several potential therapies that could not only stop Rex's rapid aging, but also reverse it (Starfleet ships keep getting hit by aging diseases, temporal anomalies, and weird transporter accidents, they've learned a thing or two after a few centuries).
Janeway's dealing with an internal debate over whether letting the Ghost crew join up is a violation of the Prime Directive or not. They don't have warp capability but their hyperdrives seem to be even better? Does it count when they seem to have bypassed warp tech entirely and instead developed dimension-shifting FTL tech? If the answer is no can she make an exception anyway because the Space Wizards seem useful?
Anyway, I think the Rebels would try to make themselves as useful as possible in order to get home.
Hera has them all studying Federation education modules in their downtime so they can better understand all the new tech. Hera's also practicing flight simulators in the holodeck, because she's never met a ship she couldn't fly and she's not going to let a helm console hold her back.
Her and Tom have a mini feud over who's the best pilot on the ship. If we go by Federation controls, Tom is, but only because he has more experience with them. When Tom builds the Delta Flyer with the classic flight controls, Hera beats him in a race. Easily. He winds up crying on B'Elanna's couch. Then after B'Elanna kicks him out he winds up crying on Harry's couch.
Sabine's basically a tech prodigy, so I don't think she'll have too much trouble understanding the engineering principles behind things. It's more convenient plot wise anyway. Hera has to negotiate with Janeway on her behalf to get permission to paint in certain areas of the ship. Personal quarters, the mess hall, etc., she can paint as long as it's appropriate and not interfering in ship operations.
Sabine, once she gains a sufficient understanding of Federation technology, starts volunteering for shifts in Engineering. It starts with her doing basic maintenance and later as she grows more proficient she starts helping with things like warp core refits. She also starts experimenting with various pieces of equipment, and at one point figures out how to replicate beskar. This is important for later plot points.
Ezra basically gets kidnapped by Samantha Wildman. His whole "connecting to animals" thing? Yeah, the ship's Xenobiologist isn't going to pass up the walking, talking research tool. Also, Ezra could always use more Space Moms. This one just happens to lack protagonist energy.
When he's not helping keep the feral creature of the week from killing the entire crew of the ship, he's joining away missions because having a Space Wizard with a laser sword on your team should just be standard protocol.
Ezra's also the one to figure out there's something wrong with Seska. She always feels slimy in the Force, and cold. She reminds him of several Imperial officers he'd come up against, a sense of viciousness-ambition-hunger that makes the very air in the room feel like poison. His danger sense never seems to stop going off when she's nearby.
He reports the bad feeling to Chakotay, and while a note is made to keep a closer eye on her, it's not like they can really do anything. Until Seska takes an action that endangers the ship and its crew, they cannot take action. How would it look to the Maquis crew if one of their own was locked in the brig thanks to the Wizard Boy's feelings? They'd have a ship-wide mutiny in less than two hours.
Sometimes Tom and Harry kidnap him for shenanigans related purposes, including but not limited to Captain Proton holodeck adventures. Sometimes they include Sabine and her and Tom bond over the crushing weight of parental expectations. Sabine hates the lack of color in the Captain Proton holoprogram, and has taken to programing "color bombs" into it with Ezra's help.
Kanan is Hera's house husband that watches Jacen and tries to stop his space children from having a mental breakdown. (They're all halfway to a breakdown, that's an undercurrent of this whole AU, they just do a semi-decent job of hiding it until it all bursts forth at once, usually at a highly inconvenient time. Except Ezra, he gets mega angsty for a bit.)
Kanan occasionally joins away missions as well. Him and Tuvok kinda bond in a "we're both Space Dads" way. They also kinda low-key hate each other. Tuvok's all about that Vulcan logic and Kanan believes in following the Force. The Force makes no logical sense, and half the time you're relying on your own potentially faulty interpretation of its warnings. They're frenemies. It's fun until Neelix tries to force them to bond.
Zeb helps out in Security. He's also Naomi and Jacen's second favorite babysitter. Him and Neelix have a small rivalry over this.
Also, Zeb's basically Neelix's biggest supporter when Dr. Jarel shows up. Threatens to throw the guy out an airlock if he so much as scans Neelix. (Listen, I'm not saying Zeb and Neelix get drunk one night and cry on each others' shoulders about the Purging of Lasan and the Metreon Cascade's effect on Rinax, but I'm also not not saying it.)
Also, I think it would be funny if leola root tasted exactly like a common ingredient in some traditional Lasat dishes. Zeb basically never uses his replicator rations because his Lasat taste buds find so much of Neelix's fare to be downright pleasant. Basically Zeb in this AU is a giant murder machine who enjoys Neelix's cooking and always has a stockpile of one of the most valuable currencies on the ship. The crew views him as some sort of mythical deity because of this.
Kallus helps Tuvok with threat assessments and the like. Janeway also drafts him to investigate the Maquis crew, sniff out potential bad actors so that a closer eye can be kept on them. It's thanks to this Lon Sudar is caught and given psychiatric help before he can go full Lon Sudar.
Once Kes sets up the Aeroponics Bay Kallus starts to basically live in there. Neelix does a whole segment on it for his morning show, "Stressed City Boy Learns Joy Of Gardening". It's a big hit for the audience of two (Samantha and Zeb).
Rex is everyone's grandpa. Seriously, he just is. Before his aging is fixed to what it should be, he's like an armored Santa Claus. Even after it's fixed most of the crew can't really get the image of Grandpa Rex out of their heads. He tells the best stories about his brothers, and about his Jedi General and Commander.
Over drinks one night in the holographic bar though, Rex's stories...morph.
Halfway through a story about when Fives and Echo tried to explain to a shiny why you shouldn't enter any room the General and Senator Amidala were in alone without knocking, he just breaks down and starts crying about how Fives had been shot by a brother. How Fives had tried to save them all, and how he'd paid for it with his own life.
A story about General Skywalker getting ambushed with glitter by an Initiate Clan is interrupted by a tear-filled rendition of the March on the Temple. It's awful and heartbreaking and it's only made worse when Rex reveals he heard the story from a freshly dechipped brother, one who'd only been a shiny at the time of Order 66. A brother who after a single day without the endless drone of "Good soldiers follow orders" buzzing around his skull decided to eat his own blaster. The kid hadn't even picked out a name yet.
After that, people tend to tread on eggshells around him for a bit. It's just, it's a lot. For what feels like the millionth time since they first got stranded in the Delta Quadrant, Janeway curses whoever at Starfleet Command decided the original mission was too short to justify a ship's counselor.
Chopper, he likes exactly three members of Voyager's crew and they are Samantha Wildman, Naomi Wildman, and Seven of Nine when she shows up. Chopper finds himself unable to hate Samantha because she's simply too nice, and Hera seems to like her (they're pregnancy buddies). Then she produces her offspring, and Naomi's a good child who helps Chopper and Jacen pull pranks on the crew.
Then there's Seven. Seven, who post-Borg happens to agree with Chopper on a lot of things. At least until she learns about morals and stuff, and gets in touch with her human side. But by then the murder-bonding has been completed, and Chopper counts her as one of the "do not murder" organics.
Also, the Universal Translator is able to translate Binary, which is...just fantastic. Chopper hates it, because now he can't slyly insult people in a language they don't understand. Eventually someone, possibly B'Elanna, takes pity on the children and Harry and shuts down translation of anything Chopper says.
