❝ well. I definitely didn’t see anything like that on the farm . . . ❞ the words tumble forth alongside his disbelief, a soft utterance purely for HIS OWN benefit as his brows knit together and he considers the obstacle lying in their path. no immediate solution presents itself, but he refuses to let that deter him. ❝ so what do we do about it ?? ❞
Has the rain gotten worse? Jonathan couldn’t tell. Maybe it didn’t even matter, seeing as he was already soaked. But at least the repair shop was coming into view - that was his first stroke of luck tonight.
Jonathan knew it was there before becoming deviant. Never gave it another thought until now, when his owner took out his right optical unit with a lacrosse stick.
It was hard to see, and thus, hard to run away. Jonathan hoped this repair shop would have the necessary biocomponents to fix the damage. So, after making the best sweep as he could around the empty night street, Jonathan ducked into the alley behind the repair shop, looking for a back door.

who’s the most creative when it comes to gifts
ROSE!!!!
who gets up first in the morning
Again, there are no morning people in this ship
who suggests new things in bed
Rose and Pris gang up on Jim but he loves it
who cries at movies
Jim and Pris
who gives unprompted massages
Hmmm…..depends? I can see all of them trying it
who fusses over the other when they’re sick
Rose is the motheriest hen here, Pris is a close second
who gets jealous easiest
Jim, weirdly.
who has the most embarrassing taste in music
ROSE. She and Jim can sometimes bond over music, though. Pris is a little snob.
who collects something unusual
Rose probably collects something that seems archaic to Jim and Pris
who takes the longest to get ready
…it’s Pris
who is the most tidy and organised
Not Rose
who gets most excited about the holidays
Definitely Rose
who is the big spoon/little spoon
They swap around, but generally Jim is on the side away from the wall when he’s not in the middle, since he’s the most likely to have to jump out of bed at a moment’s notice
who gets most competitive when playing games and/or sports
ROSE
who starts the most arguments
Hmm….I’m honestly not sure on this one. Maybe Rose and Jim? They have somewhat similar personalities that might clash.
who suggests that they buy a pet
Jim
what couple traditions they have
Uh, first of all, throuple.
I feel like the big thing is talking about their (mis)adventures. Just curling up together, pressed close, or even sitting with wine and learning about what they’ve missed. JIm and Pris probably work hard to make sure Rose feels like a part of their lives, because she is, even if she’s not always with them.
what tv shows they watch together
Do they have ANTM in the future?
what other couple they hang out with
Eleven and the TARDIS, duh?
how they spend time together as a couple
Often being domestic, although Rose will drag the other two out and about if they’re near a planet. Cooking, dancing. I have the mental image of the three of them sprawled on each other, Jim and Pris on PADDs and Rose with a book.
who made the first move
Pris, probably. She’s a flirt and she knows what she wants.
who brings flowers home
Jim!!!
who is the best cook
Uhhhhhh…..Rose is probably used to cooking the most regularly, so maybe her? They’re all learning though.
Rose/Pris
who hogs the duvet
Rose
who texts/rings to check how their day is going
Pris!!! She’s always texting
who’s the most creative when it comes to gifts
Hmm…I feel like Pris, maybe
who gets up first in the morning
Again, neither
who suggests new things in bed
Both?? They Sin.
who cries at movies
PRIS
who gives unprompted massages
Probably Pris again
who fusses over the other when they’re sick
DEFINITELY PRIS
who gets jealous easiest
I don’t know that either of them is the super jealous type. Pris might get jealous of the people who get to spend all their time with Rose, though. It’s one of the few times she actually feels trapped.
who has the most embarrassing taste in music
ROSE, at least to Pris
who collects something unusual
Pris? Rose helps find things for her collection
who takes the longest to get ready
They both like to primp. I feel like Pris might be slightly faster in an emergency.
who is the most tidy and organized
Pris, probably
who gets most excited about the holidays
ROSE. Pris gets into it with her, though, even if the traditions seem archaic to her. She loves watching Rose be so happy.
who is the big spoon/little spoon
They switch
who gets most competitive when playing games and/or sports
They’re both competitive, but given our BGO experiences, I’m gonna say Rose has the edge.
who starts the most arguments
Pris, maybe?
who suggests that they buy a pet
They both probably know that wouldn’t work out
what couple traditions they have
Mmmm….Rose tries to come by every Tuesday or so, supposedly for couple time, though they usually end up bonding over Fighting Someone’s Monster of the Week instead.
what tv shows they watch together
MYTHBUSTERS
what other couple they hang out with
All of them? Karu and Pavel, maybe.
how they spend time together as a couple
Playing. Whether that’s actual games, playing in the bedroom, just being playful with each other–their love is one of happiness and just. playful joy.
“ yeah, i — i kinda figured, what with having met your spock & all. he was pretty cryptic too. ” he offers his counterpart a smile & nods knowingly before taking a long sip of his drink. “ something about my having to learn for myself like you did. ”
it’s strange, when he thinks about it. his whole life is the result of a deviation in time. he had originally been meant to grow up with two parents, less trauma, more love. but that had all changed because of nero. he supposes he’s not too angry about his life. it’s turned out pretty well, all things considered. but it’s difficult not to get a little peeved about it whenever he remembers what happened.
on top of that strange thought, there’s the fact that he’s met another version of spock. &now, he’s meeting another version of HIMSELF. if he hadn’t been used to it by now, it surely would’ve made his head spin.
“You’ve... met Spock?” Jim raised his eyebrows at that one, taking a sip of his tea. It was funny-- you could know a Vulcan for thirty years, and some days he still surprised you. “You know I... didn’t know he’d been here.”
In fact, Kirk had (apparently erroneously) assumed that he was the first to find himself in this universe. He’d seen no evidence of Spock’s time here, nor had he heard of it from the man himself. And somehow Spock--- didn’t seem to be the type to keep those sorts of secrets.
“sometimes just making it through the day makes you a hero!” she’s seen plenty of people just make it through the day when it was already tough - sometimes it just meant that they were hiding from whatever was hurting them.
Leonard had made his fair share of assumptions in his life, but this was getting ridiculous.
It began with a passing observation made by his mother, towards the end of his days in Starfleet Academy. Perhaps he had no one but himself to blame—at the time, he admittedly spoke far too much about Jim.
In his defense, their roommate situation often plagued Leonard’s thinning patience. Who the hell else was he going to complain about? Especially the nights that Jim made too much fuss before exams. You may as well have asked Leonard to walk on his hands.
It had gone like this, and in retrospect, Leonard should have realized this was the defining moment that he was fucked.
“—and if you come back down to Georiga, Len, you oughta bring that darlin’ boyfriend of yours—”
“I’ll try to catch a bus there, Ma, but I can’t promise— Hold up. Boyfriend? I’m not datin’ anyone. Jim’s my roommate.”
A similar mistake occurred following their first voyage into space, when Starfleet students murmured the return of the new captain (you know, the one whose father sacrificed himself for all those people) and his boyfriend, the new chief medical officer (you know, the grouchy one).
And wasn’t that just the cherry on top? To be known not just as someone’s boyfriend who he was very much not dating, but as a grouch. When Jim had flashed his stupid, bright, far too endearing smile at him, he wanted to punch him in the face.
Years later, Leonard could not shake off the fairly common speculation. More than once, he questioned whether there was a sign on the back of his shirt informing everyone to treat him with as much tomfuckery as possible. It was to his greatest despair that he realized these presumptions spread because of him, and not a sign.
Matters were quickly about to worsen, and it was in moments like these that Leonard truly wished the ground would open up and swallow him whole. Leave nothing but a single hair for others to wonder what happened to their poor chief medical officer, you know, the grouch.
Leonard stood in front of Jim, expression contorted with disbelief, surprise, and bubbling frustration. Narrowed eyes wandered the room, whose interior decoration reflected wealth you’d find only in the richest of homes back on Earth. In the center of the room, covered in soft furs and pillows, was a bed. A single bed. One. Fucking. Bed. With flowers, whose yellow and blue hues may have been enchanting were it not for their implication.
“You’ve gotta be f— They gave us the same room, Jim. Everyone else got a separate room. Hell, Tabora and Walters got separate rooms and they’re goddamn married.” Leonard stomped and paced around the room, as if needing more emphasis to convey his astonishment. “And it’s not just that. They thought we were married. We haven’t been on this planet for more than a few hours!”
