My aunt has passed. We were very close. I will be away for a few days for services. Her husband passed earlier this year.

I am sorry to report that my daughter, starry eyes2000, has passed away and joined the stars she loved so much. Thanks to her many friends who loved her musings, I thank you. You made her life better

Love for her mother

STAR TREK: STRANGE NEW WORLDS 2x05 "Charades"

I have a lot of feelings about pike being there for spock when his biological father wasn't. sarek doesn't show up, but chris steps up to cover for spock, host his engagement dinner, support him emotionally, and try to make him look good in front of the in-laws. not to mention staying up all night cooking Vulcan delicacies from scratch. god-tier adopted dad behavior, 10/10, no notes.

OK I kinda love T’Pring’s dad though 🤣

But he shouldn’t give in to that instinct again, shouldn’t wonder what it would be like to let himself enfold his body around hers because they’ve been friends for two and a half decades and what kind of an idiot would he be to risk losing that?

My brain has cooked up a new weird Spocklaan AU idea that I really need to ramble about a bit, I apologize in advance.

The idea was born in response to the picture of Christina below, with her outfit fitting right in with the dress code of the Vulcans in the upcoming SNW episode in my humble opinion.

The basic idea is that while Spock is meeting his fiance for the first (it's an arranged marriage because they're both Vulcan high society in this au), he ends up falling for her servant/bodyguard La'an instead.

But then it turns out, that La'an is royalty herself, like she's some sort of lost princess who's believed to have died with her family during the Gorn attack but was actually rescued by the Vulcans and thus ended up with T'Pring's family. But La’an can’t remember her true heritage due to the trauma of the attack until a mind meld with Spock helps her regain her memories. There might even be time for a ball with La'an wearing her Princess Thalia dress.

And now I realized that this idea feels quite similar to the plot of the Anastacia animated movie which is cool because I love that movie.

What can I say? I like this idea.

there was just something so genuine about kirk realising they’d need money in the 21st century, spotting a chess table and .. just .. sitting down and playing random strangers for a few spare notes at a time. no competitivity, no real sense of urgency, no hard feelings, he just spends the whole afternoon betting strangers he can win and winning every time because of course he can. ‘one dimensional’ chess is a cake walk compared to the chess he’s used to.

and no one leaves that table feeling like they’ve really lost out. it was a good game, kirk wins fair and square, they enjoy their time with him, he even gains a crowd as people get invested in the matches. he shakes their hands and they move on. it was such an endearing way of showing us the kind of person kirk is. charming, easily personable. he finds a fair way to get by in a completely alien situation that still matches his skillset.

I don’t know, it was such a short scene but it showed us so much without any dialogue. They could have shown la’an and kirk figuring out how to grab some quick cash in a bunch of different ways, but they chose one with a lot of heart and that’s why I really love this show.

I don't usually post entire fics here on tumblr, but since AO3 is down I thought someone might enjoy something to read while they are waiting! This was posted on AO3 yesterday.

In the Quiet Places

T • m/f • 900 words • one shot • Pike/Una and Pike/Batel (this came about as I was trying to make sense of Pike/Batel with my Pike/Una shipping heart 💛)

TW: cave-in, trapped in a cave, undisclosed injury, darkness

Notes: This story takes place after The Cage and before SNW begins. As I said on AO3, thank you to @curator-on-ao3 for the general writing encouragement!

In the Quiet Places

drip

rattle

drip

ssssshhhh…

Every noise was amplified in the little space, so when Pike spoke, he used a hushed voice.

“Number One? I mean, Una. I think, if we don’t get out of this–not that we won’t. We are going to make it. But, in case. Can I tell you something? I want you to know, no matter what happens.”

In the quiet that followed, Christopher Pike wished he had taken the time to think of coherent sentences. Number One was always so well spoken, so put together. After all the years they had spent together, he still wondered if she ever got nervous.

His next thought was that she had been quiet too long. She usually didn’t take so long to think of replies to his questions, in fact she almost always had a retort waiting before he finished speaking.

“Una?”

“I’m still here, Chris.” Her voice sounded pained.

“Are you okay?” He was concerned, and he didn’t try to hide it.

She didn’t respond.

Pike began feeling his way around and moving debris as quickly as he could. He was pretty sure of the direction he needed to go to reach her, but after the first few rocks he was no more than half a meter closer to his first officer and he could go no further. The rocks were just too large.

He could see something though, through the newly uncovered spaces between the boulders. It had been hours since anything but utter blackness had met his eyes, so at first he thought it was a trick of his mind. He closed his eyes for a moment. When he opened them, the light was still there, reddish orange, like fire.

“Una! Una, do you have a light? I can see an orange glow."

He could hear her grunt softly, and then scraping noises, as if she were repositioning herself among the rocks.

“Yes, Captain. I created a feedback loop from my tricorder’s power cell to make a little light.”

Pike felt around him one more time, but his own tricorder wasn’t anywhere he could reach, unfortunately, so he wouldn’t be able to replicate Una’s hack.

He kept his eyes on the light as it faded and swelled at intervals. At least she was alive.

“So, is it okay if I tell you then?” he prodded.

Chris swallowed. Of course, he could wait.

“Chris, we’re going to get back to the Enterprise. You can tell me anything you want to then.”

It had been years, after all.

“Pass me your communicator through the rocks if you can," Una's voice came through the rocks again, sounding smaller somehow. "I’m going to splice the signal nodes to amplify our distress calls.”

“You can do that?” He was impressed. He was always impressed with Una.

“Chris, really, you shouldn’t have skipped second year engineering at the Academy.”

Less than twenty minutes later, they were on the Enterprise.

Una collapsed on the transporter pad as soon as they materialized. All the bones in her leg had been crushed in the cave-in.

As Chris carried her to sickbay, he whispered, “Why didn’t you tell me you were hurt?”

Una answered with her eyes closed, her head against his chest. “I didn’t want you to worry.”

* * *

“Thank you for assisting the Enterprise in finding us,” Pike said, as he offered the pretty young captain a glass of wine.

“I’m glad the Cayuga was within range.”

“So are we,” Una said with a smile. She hadn’t missed the appraising looks Captain Batel had given Chris, or the small smiles he gave in return. She knew Chris enjoyed being found attractive, most of the time.

Una put her glass down. “Well, I’m going to get some rest and let you two captains talk.” When Chris’s eyes met hers with the concerned look that she knew she would see in them, she winked at him and then looked toward Captain Batel with a little lift of her eyebrows. The frown that crossed Chris’s face was gone before Batel looked up.

There was always plenty of work to think about on the Enterprise

“It was good to meet you, Commander Chin-Riley,” she said politely.

“You too, Captain Batel. I’m sure we’ll meet again.”

Una decided she imagined the sadness in Chris’s eyes as he walked with her to his door and told her goodnight.

He would take her advice, again, and give Captain Batel a chance. He had always accepted her suggestions, as far as she knew.

And they would go on, working together as they always had. No declarations, no complications, just professionals, and her secret would be safe. His career would be safe, and he would get the affection he wanted from someone else, and they would go on.

Maybe Marie Batel would be different. Maybe Chris would like her more, and it would last longer. Once Una got to know her better, she would encourage the relationship as she saw appropriate.

Una let the soft whir of the warp engines surround her as she lay her head on her pillow. That quiet sound meant she was exactly where she wanted to be, and that was all she needed.

If the memory of Chris's arms around her as he carried her to sickbay was the last thing she thought of before she fell asleep, that was okay. She wouldn't think of it in the morning.

I guess this needed another chapter! (If you would like to read it but can't on AO3, let me know. )

You’ve never seen Voyager. Ohhh you’re in for a treat, tonight 😁 I hope you like it!

Oh I do, very much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[starryeyes2000]

You probably could figure this out from my comments but my favorite story of yours is Where's an All-Night Pharmacy. Aside from being a wonderful story, a lovely view of Christopher Pike and a relatable OC/Reader, it got me into reading and writing the OC and xReader genre 💖

@emilie786 - I'm very glad you are writing the in OC and xReader genre, your stories are amazing.

Thank you so much. This story is dear to my heart. And returning soon alongside a companion piece: Where's An All Night Pharmacy When You Need It: Tweens and Teens.

Episode 2: Let’s Run Away: Part 1

SNW: Additional Scenes Season 2 - CALU

Read on AO3 or FFN

Pairing: Pike & Una, Pike x Fem!OC (Aalin)

Rating: Teen

Word Count: 1.7k

Strange New Words Season Two additional scenes in the Chris/Aalin 'i carry your heart' universe. As there are few hints as to where Spock and Chapel's relationship is headed in this season, I've decided to post my Spock/Chapel scenes here.

This series contains spoilers for Strange New Worlds Season 2. Each chapter title will be prefaced with the episode number.

Excerpt:

Una took a seat at the kitchen table in Chris’ quarters and reached for a cupcake. His hand shooed hers away from the filled platter, scolding, “Those are for Aalin.” When the timer beeped, he retrieved another dozen from the oven, and with care placed each on a cooling rack.

“You’re in the doghouse?”

“Little bit,” he muttered. The tin was refilled with batter and returned to the oven.

“At this rate you’ll be handing out cupcakes in the mess hall.”

“Okay. More than a little bit.” He stirred a new batch of icing, chocolate this time. Una had claimed her prize while his back was turned, treat now consumed she licked her fingers then reached for another.
