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!

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.

Remember this guy?

My crochet Murf pattern is (finally) finished and available to download for free from Ravelry.

Go forth and have fun - all I ask is that you tag me in your finished projects!

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?'.

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???
