who hogs the duvet

Kat!  It’s okay, though, she hogs Reno too.

who texts/rings to check how their day is going

It really depends.  Both of them are busy, but they try to check up on each other but sometimes you just fall asleep with your comm in your hand.

who’s the most creative when it comes to gifts

Reno upgraded Elias (Kat’s roomba) and Kat nearly cried.  

who gets up first in the morning

Kat is definitely early to rise.  And she loves to tease Reno until she gets up.

who suggests new things in bed

Kat!  Reno does sometimes too, but it’s mostly Kat.  She has a very active imagination when it comes to Reno.

who cries at movies

I feel like this is Kat.  Reno does occasionally, but it’s usually Kat.

who gives unprompted massages

Both of them.  They both have very demanding jobs, so Kat will rub Reno’s hands sometimes and Reno will rub Kat’s neck.

who fusses over the other when they’re sick

Reno will, remembering everyone she kept alive during the Klingon war and afraid she’ll lose Kat next.  

who gets jealous easiest

Might be Reno?  Kat just isn’t jealous in general.  A little possessive, perhaps, but that’s just cause they get so little time together. 

who has the most embarrassing taste in music

I feel like it’s Reno.

who collects something unusual

Reno and Kat encourages is.  She loves their robo-chilldren.

who takes the longest to get ready

Neither of them.  Unless one is intent on distracting the other.

who is the most tidy and organised

Kat.  Her place looks practically unlived in until Reno makes herself at home.  And Kat learns that a little mess is okay.

who gets most excited about the holidays

Kat sometimes forgets the exist, so probably Reno.  But her excitement is probably very lowkey and they’ll just celebrate together.

who is the big spoon/little spoon

Kat loves being the big spoon.  Though she doesn’t complain if Reno wants the spot every now and then.

who gets most competitive when playing games and/or sports

Reno and Kat definitely encourages it.  She loves that flush on Reno’s face when she’s just won.

who starts the most arguments

Kat tends to over-analyze, so probably her.

who suggests that they buy a pet

Reno came with robots.  Kat loves them.

what couple traditions they have

They refer to all the robots as their kids.  Kat always has a spare change of Reno’s uniform on her.  Kat likes to tease Reno about not following Starfleet Regulations with her uniform (Kat loves it).  Reno always greets Kat with a kiss.  

what tv shows they watch together

Kat tends to fall asleep watching TV, so whatever Reno likes.  I could see her into home renovations or 2000 Things To Do With Duct Tape

what other couple they hang out with

Gabe & Liz.  Pike & Leland. Pippa & Paris.

how they spend time together as a couple

In bed.  Chasing the kids.  Working.  Reno has a whole workstation in Kat’s home so Kat will lounge on the couch doing Admiral Things and appreciating Reno in a tanktop as she works.

who made the first move

Reno b/c Kat didn’t want to pressure her b/c of ranks.

who brings flowers home

Reno makes Kat metal flowers and Kat keeps finding ways to wear them.

who is the best cook

Afsaneh nodded. “I’m sorry about Leland.” She picked up some toast and nibbled, then put it down. “Hard to believe it’s just us left. Do you want coffee or something?”

He waved a loose hand to indicate ‘no.’ “I’ve already had some. Had to wire myself before the funeral or else I’d never make it.”

He thinks about tacking on a ‘thank you’ at the end. She’s being nice. But honestly? He’s too tired to say too much. But it’s courtesy.

Idk if Affie knows for sure, but she suspects the Elmira had something to do with his death. Given that Pearl was on board at the time, Afsaneh has made *many* assumptions and thinks that if El did something it was to protect Pearl. And Afsaneh honestly supports that.

He gestured toward the seat across from him as he rose from his own seat. In grained manners were hard to ignore that way. “Sit. Ain’t no reason for you to stand there like that.”

“None of this makes sense, absolutely none of it. It’s like the ensign’s have no idea how the engine works.” Sure, Elmira was playing up the dramatics to get Afsaneh’s attention, and to the best of her knowledge it was working. Little did Afsaneh know that it was a drawing of her riding a dinosaur with Pearl’s handwriting scrawled across it:

Pearl had seen her from across the room, the real one, not the one she saw on screens and in the books. She tugged on Elmira’s hand, who’d smiled and excused herself from the conversation, following her daughter. 

@currentlycaptainparis liked for a starter

For the second time, Gabriel Lorca saw the blinding flash of the Buran’s warp core explode as bits and pieces of the starship sparkled against the blackness of space. He winced, blinking as his eyes burned. He wasn’t made for this universe. Everything was too bright, too clean, and he didn’t know if he’d be able to survive.

One thing was for damned sure, he’d have to do a much better job of blending in if he was ever going to find his way home. He had a mission, a duty to perform, and he’d do whatever it took—even pretending to be one of the Federation peons if it got him a ship he could use to get back to the Emperor.
