PH 2 - Star Trek: The Original Series, Star Trek: Alternate Original Series (Movies)

Request 1 by Koschei_B

Star Trek: The Original Series

Mediums: Fanart, Fanfiction, Fanvids, Podfic

Relationships:

• James T. Kirk/T'Pring/Spock (TOS)
• James Kirk & Original Vulcan Character(s) (TOS)

Likes:
Angst with a subjectively happy ending / unhealthy dynamic in a happy relationship / time travel / pure fluff / holidays, especially blending traditions / domesticity / marriage and kids - especially adoption / platonic and queerplatonic relationships / queer relationships / getting together / Nature / Pets / hurt/comfort / Crossovers/fusions / Obsessions, especially related to childhood trauma / Soulmates, in a way that makes character(s) suffer / hanahaki / disabled characters / neurodivergent characters / trans characters / genderfulid characters / religion other than Christianity being a focus / fairy tale elements and aesthetics / flowers / jewelry, especially piercings / tarot / pencil sketches / bright colours / black and white / shiny things / sky / outer space / constellations as design element or a tattoo / gender nonconformity / aro and/or ace spectrum / collars and chokers / clothes sharing/swap / headcanons!

I don't have many fandom-specific thoughts. I'm a bit weak to Jim raised by Vulcans and Jim in VSA plots? But honestly, I'd be incredibly happy with anything not in my DNWs. I just want to see these ships interacting lol

DNW:
Lactation
Cheating/Adultery/Infidelity
Permanent Major Character Death

*If it's not in my DNWs (and allowed by the exchange), you can assume I'm really OK with it. And for Dead Dove stuff, I'm probably into it. Really. Even that :)

PH 3 - Star Trek: Deep Space Nine

Request 1 by greatesttealeaves

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine

Mediums: Fanart, Fanfiction

Relationships:

• Elim Garak/Enabran Tain (DS9)
• Kelas Parmak/Enabran Tain (DS9)
• Julian Bashir/Enabran Tain (DS9)
• Julian Bashir/Elim Garak/Enabran Tain (DS9)
• Julian Bashir & Enabran Tain (DS9)
• Elim Garak & Enabran Tain (DS9)

DNW: - Anything sexual! This includes sexual attraction. Romance, such as crushes, dates, flirting etc is ok! Im sex repulsed and would rather avoid it.
- extensive making out, or making out with tongue
- uncomfortable with closed mono relationship dynamics as a multishipper (such as "X is taken, you cant flirt with them", cheating, etc) and prefer to see everyone as polyam
- No romantic Garak/Bashir, but queerplatonic or platonic is more than welcome
- no neck kisses, A/B/O dynamics, nudity (such as shirtlessness)

Likes: Violence, holosuite roleplay, soulmate au, Tain being a smug bastard, Tain being an old man, angst, fluff, crushes, queerplatonic/untraditional relationships, Garak being a mentally ill mess, Tain being a mentally ill mess, toxic relationships, cuddling, teasing, but anything goes as well! These are just some of my favourites

Prompts: Anything goes! With Tain being such a niche character, some ideas could be maybe something with him teasing Bashir or Kelas about their crushes on him, being disappointed in Garak for his incestuous feelings yet not commenting on them, or even a holosuite adventure where Tain is hesitant to indulge in such activities, only to have fun once he can show his scary, serious side. I personally like to think of an AU where Tain survived and is forced to crash on DS9, while everyone outside of it thinks hes dead.

Fandom thoughts: I headcanon Tain as a fully aroace trans man, Bashir as trans and bi and Garak as gay and agender! Tain is my favourite character in all of Star Trek and he is extremely underrated. I personally see him as an orphan who climbed his way up to the top against all odds, but not without the trauma of growing up in such a society. He doesnt realise hes traumatised, and just thinks the way he is is normal. With emotional walls set way too high, extreme paranoia and alcoholism to deal with his depression and PTSD (he doesnt remember most of his childhood), i find it quite fun to think about scenarios where he begins to trust someone and mildly lowers his fortress, letting himself enjoy the affection hes never had. He is also quite a smug character and its very visible in his interactions with Bashir in The Wire and Garak in Improbable Cause/The Die is Cast.

Treats: Very welcome! If you want an extra challenge, randomly choose any two DS9 characters and try to write a fanfic about them interacting!
