Today, for the first time in weeks, I had 2 hours to myself with non-distracting pain levels, a degree of energy and a concentration span longer than 1 minute. And you know what? I wrote. I wrote the scenes that have been a discordant jumble in my brain as I go to sleep each night and wake up each morning for months. And managed to finish chapter 90. Even start chapter 91.

Chapter 90 will be posted this weekend at some point as semi-planned.

Chapter 91's posting date is not going to find favour, I warn you now...

it's a process. u start w the flirty texts, and then the filthy texts, and then they try but fail at one handed typing for like one message and then someone gives up and calls the other and then it's phone sex

thanks babe ur so wise!! i just figured everyone was much more talented at one-handed typing than me but calling just seems so much more logically simple??  (lmao this is for janet king pilates au btw i blame you entirely)

Isn't this why the tech industry invented Siri?

I’m FUCKING MCDYING, yasssssss. My fic is definitely having the line ‘Siri, tell her she looks hot’ and then Siri is like ‘Today is looking hot, here’s the weather’. SIRI SEXTING FIC.

ncruuk and ginfuelleddiva replied to your quote: Why are you not a nice mommy, Mom?

Because I’m a superstar mum?

@ncruuk​ Exactly!

That’s 3 year olds. “I don’t like you” is a regular part of my day.

@ginfuelleddiva​ My personal favorite is “You’re not my friend!”.

@ncruuk​ yeah, you’re right! had to check out the interview again:

“There’s a gorgeous scene right towards the end where Janet makes the biggest mistake in the relationship, and you think, ‘Don’t… No! Can’t you see what you’re…? No!’ Her blindness comes back – she’s in love, so she takes for granted the rest and not everyone works that way”

the “she’s in love” part really gives me hope though :)

@briliantlybittr as long as there’s a good balance between conflicts and happy times i don’t mind. relationships are complicated and part of the reason why i love the show and janet x bianca so much is that the portrayal of their relationship feels very real.

The Captain and her Captain ch 84

Finally!

[ncruuk]

The Captain and Her Captain is now updated - read Chapter 86

or go start at the very beginning where it's 2403, the Enterprise-G has just completed its 1st 6 month mission with Captain Seven in Command. Starfleet and the Federation are trying to rediscover their spirit of adventure and peaceful exploration. Good job the new Commander-in-Chief, one Admiral K. Janeway, knows a thing or two about that.

Or, what happens six months on from the final scene of the final episode of s3 of Picard for Seven and Janeway, with some attempt to explain how they got there, because I had questions. Lots of questions.

Chapter 89 The Captain and her Captain

aka Janeway has a plan, Tuvok may have liked to be more on the front foot... Worf is prepared to go along with it and Mollie's back.

Confused? Try the beginning of my attempt to singlehandedly make almost everything make sense (Star Trek Voyager/Picard/Prodigy only, there are limits).

I opened up a blank document and started typing the story that is posted to AO3 as 'The Captain and her Captain' on July 3rd 2023.

It is July 5th 2025 and tomorrow, July 6th, I will post the next chapter, chapter 81.

The story is two years and two days old (733 days old) and I've just realised that I've written pretty much the equivalent of 1,000 words a day for two years.

No wonder my brain is feeling a bit fuzzy (although the med changes and heatwaves and life lifing probably contribute too).

I'm not sure if I'm impressed or terrified by my application....but think after chapter 82 is posted I'll be giving myself a bit of a pause. Just in case it's not life lifing that's making my writing brain fuzzy. I'm too invested to let this WIP stumble....
