Series: Part 2 of Last Resort

– 

Chapter 19!  In which a telepathic link isn’t the same as being able to read someone’s mind, social distancing on a spaceship proves difficult, and being respectful of boundaries is both a love language and honestly kind of a problem.

Alternative summary:

I forgot to say that this came out of a 2-minute post-it note doodle I did in early 2020:

I'd always meant to turn it into something else but, well, 2020. Three and a bit years later, it's lovely to have an excuse!

For Celebrate Disco 2023 (@startrekdiscoverycelebration) - have a little Pike and Lorca before everything went horribly wrong

Over at my All-Trek-All-The-Time alter ego, @lorcaswhisky, I've mostly been blogging about Katoberfest, a week-long event celebrating Star Trek: Discovery's Admiral Katrina Cornwell - and I have 2 new ficlets! Here's the first...

Katoberfest 2022

Day four: A therapy session or Late night meeting

Tactical Briefings

The Buran is carrying a very important guest: Vice Admiral Katrina Cornwell. There's just one tiny problem.

She's gone missing.

Two posts in a day? And one is a new ficlet?! I know, I can hardly believe it myself.

Tactical Briefings is a little fic asking big questions, like 'theoretically, if you were a Vice Admiral and a newly-minted Captain and you needed to sneak around a starship, how would you go about it?'.

Who'd like a sneak preview of what I'm working on at the moment...?

It's Rok Tahk!

She's very much not finished (still need to figure out her dungarees and a pair of legs!) and very much a prototype, with lots that needs to be fixed for the next version, but I reckon she's looking great so far.

(She also might be the most complicated crochet pattern I've ever worked on, let alone designed...)

What do you think?

Star Trek Colouring-In Project #2: Janeway

I'm trying to keep myself occupied and (more or less) sane with some Star Trek colouring-in projects. And I thought other Trekkies might enjoy them too, so...

Have a highly-caffeinated Captain Janeway!

Feel free to print/download/share/colour in; if you do, please share the results - I'd love to see them!

I'm working on a prototype for Rok Tahk as we speak! As my second-ever pattern design, she's ... not so much a step up from Murf as, er, several ladders up from Murf. But she's coming along nicely and I think she's going to look great when she's done.

A few people have asked about the patterns, so: my ultimate aim is definitely to share them, probably via Ravelry? But there are a few things about the Murf pattern I'd like to tweak, to make sure he's perfect before I release him into the wild - and at the moment Rok Tahk is occupying a lot of my brain/free time, so it might be a while yet. Stay tuned!

Paramount don't seem to be too interested in making Star Trek: Prodigy merch, so I decided to take matters into my own hands/crochet hook. Six prototypes, a lot of yarn, and even more swearing later, I've designed my very first crochet pattern.

Behold - Murf!

Next up ... Rok Tahk???
