The lovely organizers of @startrekpotluck have asked participants to share a menu of their previous Potluck works in anticipation of this year’s fest. 👩🍳❤️ So, my food and drink from years past are:
Potluck 2022: The Light Before Dawn
Fandom: Star Trek: Strange New Worlds
Relationships: Number One/Christopher Pike, La'an Noonien-Singh & Number One | Una Chin-Riley
Summary: Prompt from dailyau on Tumblr: “Our flats are opposite each other and your kitchen window faces my kitchen so we always see each other making coffee at 3 am.”
Potluck 2023: Twelve Grapes
Fandom: Star Trek: Strange New Worlds
Relationship: Christine Chapel/Erica Ortegas
Summary: For the first time since the war, Erica is going to eat her traditional twelve grapes at midnight — and share the experience with her friends.
Which gets Christine thinking about … a lot of things … including another New Year’s Eve tradition.
Potluck 2024: A Seat at the Table
co-written with the wonderful @fiadorable
Fandoms: Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, Star Trek: Alternate Original Series, Star Trek: The Original Series
Relationships: James T. Kirk & Christopher Pike, Number One | Una Chin-Riley/Christopher Pike, James T. Kirk & Number One | Una Chin-Riley, James T. Kirk/La'an Noonien-Singh, La'an Noonien-Singh & Number One | Una Chin-Riley
Summary: What if Captain Pike had invited Jim Kirk to his house for dinner instead of leaving Jim at the bar contemplating a salt shaker?
What if, a half decade after that, Jim found himself in need of a first officer?
What if, a few decades later, a simple dinner invitation changed the course of a young cadet's life?
