Day seven: Where is Katrina Cornwell right now?

tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow

Emperor Georgiou has a business proposal for Kat.

Unfortunately, she also has a lousy sense of timing.

For today's prompt, it's a new fic! Kat's no stranger to a career change. She's already gone from psychiatrist to Admiral, and in tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow, a new job offer makes her reconsider the future. And the past. And ... time as a concept, really.

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???

Additional Tags: Slow Burn, not so much ‘mutual pining’ as 'mutual terror of accidentally having an emotion’, the grumpy one falls for the … other grumpy one?, there was only one shuttle, vehement denial of feelings, questionable interplanetary diplomacy, questionable science, unhealthy levels of coffee consumption, gratuitous descriptions of telepathy, fixing the injustice of erasing Discovery from history one poorly thought out escapade at a time

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.

Star Trek Colouring-in Project #3: Kirk

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...

RIP yet another shirt.

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

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

This has been getting another flurry of notes and lovely comments over the last few days, and if you liked this WIP pic of the prototype, you're going to love the finished version - which I'm hoping to share in the next week or so!

(And because a few people have asked whether I'll be posting the pattern: I very much plan to make the patterns for both Rok Tahk and Murf available, but they both need quite a bit of work before I'll be happy to release them into the wild. Rok Tahk in particular uses a bunch of slightly unusual techniques/stitches, instructions for all of which I'll need to write up in addition to the pattern itself, and some parts will need photos to show how it all works. She also requires a lot of yarn, so I want to make sure the pattern is perfect before anyone spends hard-earned money on the resources to make her. So it's a 'yes', but not necessarily a 'soon'!)

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?
