@deepspacedukat @amiramordecaimtired Read DSD’s Letant fics today, and I’m gonna go back through and read Warbirds this weekend, and ya’ll inspired me to draw this pointy boi. So glad I stumbled onto this niche section of Tumblr - I’ve met, and keep meeting, so many awesome people. I haven’t been this actively creative in years - feels good to write and draw again☺️.
Gentle readers, it is my pleasure to present a Letant fanfiction based on a prompt by the one, the only, the great, @deepspacedukat. Thank you so much my friend for the delicious prompt! I hope I am doing it justice!
Prompt: Senator Letant meets a woman and is instantly taken with her.
You can find this little story on AO3 here: The Taste of the Impossible
This fic is Fluff/Romance. No major warnings. Some brief kissing.
Thank you and I hope you enjoy! Hugs!
Crackfic Alert! - The Archives is up on Ao3
Utter bat-shit crack fic ahead! Gentle reader, please excuse my insanity and if you are willing, and don't cringe too hard, please enjoy The Archives
This was inspired by Neral's Legacy a post by @wafflingchemist which was so brilliant, I decided to make a fic about it (with their permission) I have no idea if I am going to keep running with this one or if I will shamefully bury it in my back yard. Either way, this is my personal love letter to everyone who writes fanfiction, everyone who supports other fanfic writers, and special extra bit of love for my Romulan Fanfic authors. You know who you are and I adore you :-)
I won't tag everyone cause I am sure some people would be horrified to be tagged on this. LOL. But here are my usual suspects. If you wish to be tagged going forward, for any of my fics, please do let me know. Reviews and comments are worshiped and adored. Thank you!

⭐ Can we get the director's commentary on "X Minus 1"? ILY FREN! 💖 - DSD
Once again I learned nothing from my hubris while writing things. I swear I’ll probably do a rewrite of everything once I get some more experience because I’m disappointed about it really.
This was a fic I had planned but it was kind of a limbo fic that had to do a number of things before I could write anything else. I did get it all in there but not the way I wanted it.
I’m still a little miffed about how I wrote Sisko (but 90% of Sisko is the masterful delivery of Avery Brooks, imo. I read some DS9 books and they all suffer from the same problem). He’s lost Jadzia, barely got Jadzia and Worf back (via our Square Lizard Man’s assistance), the entire Federation fleet is crumbling to bits, and here he has a doctor that’s leaving. That he needs! Very badly! So he is trying to keep her and not at all understanding of the fact that she can’t stay (which if this happened not in the middle of a galactic war he’d probably be pretty calm about it).
I love Weyoun 6. He is my favorite Weyoun and I treated him badly so I want to hug him and his sad puppy eyes. He needs friends damnit!!
Klingons are supposed to be the cool space aliens that know secrets because it’s just one of those things that I randomly decided and fully stuck with. Not every Klingon knows but the ones that do just fully accept it (if anyone has seen the vampire/werewolf/Sasquatch post about various Star Trek aliens you know what I mean). I intended the interaction to be wholly her pulling one over on the guy (like Doctors Orders by Diane Duane with Bones and the Klingon Captain) but I don’t think I pulled that off. Maybe I got him to be incredulous? Maybe???
Writing telepathic conversations is hard because I picture it as a 360 degree broadcast with no blind spots while reporting an incident you were in (terrible explanation right?) while also having all the sensory details with it. It’s a truncated (?) omniscient thing because sometimes you can tell what everyone else is thinking but sometimes not (if they don’t let you in or are a non-magic species). You can still feel all of their neurotransmitters though.
There’s no reason a bunch of magic species should ever have to make noise out loud (unless you stubbed your toe or something) so it’s full communication faster than the speed of light.
TL:DR- I love telepathy as a concept but hate having to write it, I suffer from not being able to write Sisko’s delivery correctly, Klingons are hard, need a Weyoun to hug STAT. Pretty sure I did this wrong too!
P.S.: The fic is named after a very fun sort of sci-fi/horror radio program! With a really cool intro that has repeated decrescendo echos!!!
For the fanfic asks: D (for "Be Still" & "Keep Your Enemies Closer"), F, and I, please! ILY fren! 💙 - @deepspacedukat
Aw hey friend (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ✲ﾟ｡⋆ @deepspacedukat
D (Be Still & Keep Your Enemies Closer) = oof my music Inspo for writing is usually classical music since when you set it up with a scene in the fic, it feels like a movie. While writing those, I was definitely enjoying Joel Sunny's full length covers (Black Out Days, Desert Rose, Gangsta, and Under the Influence) seriously go check him out - his full length vids are on YouTube and he has a Spotify too. Other than that, Adagio in G Minor is a heart wrenching song that is good for any angsty drama (see Be Still lol)
F. ooo it's tough, but I like this one:
“You know, making and keeping friends is important in here, Senator. I might just find my own way out of here and not breathe a word of it to the two of you.”
“Then my boot just might find its ‘own way’ up your ass,” Alma quipped reflexively. In an instant she apologetically flinched.
Beside her, Letant, who’d been in the middle of taking a swig of water, nearly inhaled his drink; a delighted vein of shock rang out from him. The dimples were a dead giveaway, but he managed to not smile too broadly as he set his glass down and wiped his mouth. It was endearing to see his usually suave exterior ruffled up a bit.
“Damn you, girl,” he chastised affectionately.
Korvis glared as Letant cleared this throat, now suspicious. “Something wrong, Senator?”
“Today, it seems they’ve managed to make even the water more vile than usual,” Letant announced.
Korvis’s brow bunched together. “My water tastes just fine.”
“Then they must have switched our cups,” Letant replied cooly.
This time, Alma couldn’t help the little fit of soundless giggles that wracked through her. She pointedly focused on her tray as she caught her breath, and took a bite of mush to cover the slip.
“Very convincing, e’lev,” said an affectionate voice.
Her cheeks felt hot enough to glow red. “Sorry,” she murmured sheepishly. Not a nanosecond later, her next thought popped up. “What does thatword mean?”
With a quick glance, she saw Letant’s jaw tense and suddenly his thoughts were very blank. He swiftly recovered, but did not look at her.“Eat your slop."
Curiosity still burning, Alma decided to leave the prickly man be; she’d let him keep his secret - he’d been goaded by her enough for one day.
But close seconds are some of the Alma/Letant sass scenes. I usually found their dialogue with each other to come easily, which is weird because I usually don't like dialogue. But, Alma having such a sarcastic little bite was too fun not to write. Plus, we all know how much Letant loves his water (seriously dude, how many times have we stared at all the water-drinking gifs lol), I had to have him sputter mid-drink ;).
I: Oh Lord, a guilty pleasure...I love Enemies to Lovers trope, a bit more on the rough side 👀, and I gotta have some fluff with the smut. I also do not cringe away from the "and then they had a baby" storyline - I get some people hate it, but as long as it works with the story, I think it's cute.
This was fun, thanks DSD! 💚
🤖 For the writing ask game. (I don't think you've already answered this one, but if you have, my apologies) - deepspacedukat
Hey buddy!
🤖 Are you looking to change your current writing setup? (Or establish one, if you don't have one?)
I actually plan to rearrange my apartment quite a bit when I get back to it. I want to put my desk somewhere closer to a window so I get some natural light, and that’s where I usually write from
Happy Birthday! 🎂🎉🎁 Hope you have a great day and year! Also I think it’s amazing you’re a Pisces and in love with Dukat because so am I… he just needed to find a Pisces up there and he would’ve been set 😂
😂 Y'know, you might be onto something there. He should've been looking for a Pisces!
Thank you so much for the birthday wishes, friend. I hope you have an absolutely lovely day!!
