star trek holidays
Dear Creator,
I have used parts of previous letters to compose the body of this letter. If none of my ideas/prompts catch your attention, I'm totally fine with mixing and matching some of my tropes/likes/freeforms/etc. to come up with a story! I also may not have specific prompts for every pairing/fandom I've requested. If anything is confusing, or you have any questions or need clarification, you can reach me through the mods!
Although this is a holiday challenge, you do not need to feature the holidays in your creations! If you want to incorporate the holidays in some way, I celebrate both Christmas and Hanukkah.
What I Love: I'm currently really into gothic romance/gothic horror/horror of any stripe really. I also adore romcoms, enemies-to-lovers, difficult/complicated relationships, and questions with no easy answers. I love ambiguous/happy for now/sad endings, things that make me think, and are not necessarily tied up with a neat pretty bow.
My main DNWs are listed below. Exceptions will be noted:
DNWs:
• domestic violence/abuse
• violence against animals/animal death
• A/B/O, BDSM, and kneeling 'verses (fine with these tropes appearing as "one offs", not interested in universes structured around them)
• mpreg
• watersports/omorashi/scat
• mundane AUs (i.e. coffee shop, flower shop, cafe, high school/college, etc)
• vampire/werewolf AUs for non-supernatural fandoms/fandoms where they don't appear or exist (canon vampires/werewolves in supernatural-based fandoms are fine!)
• horror that centers on mental institutions/hospitals/etc.
• inclusion of current real world events (i.e. war in Ukraine, US politics/Trump, SCOTUS decisions, covid, etc.)

Christopher Pike & Spock

Gabrielle Burnham & Michael Burnham
Michael Burnham & Amanda Grayson & Gabrielle Burnham & Mirror Philippa Georgiou
Prompts/ideas:
Michael(s)/Lorca(s)
Seasons 1 and 2 are my personal favorites from Discovery so all my prompts will focus on that era of the show. (Also it's safe to assume I prefer to pretend Mirror Lorca didn't die or comes back/is resurrected in some way.)
So, I'm going through a Disco resurgence and I'm freshly obsessed with any and all combination of Michael Burnham and Gabriel Lorca. Prime Lorca, Mirror Lorca, some other type of AU Lorca, whatever, throw him in with a Michael Burnham and I'll be satisfied.
I'm especially interested in a post-s1 AU where Prime Lorca finds his way onboard Discovery (Pike optional, but it would be kind of fun to see a prickly, traumatized, guilt-ridden Prime Lorca, freshly saved from the hellish mirror universe, having to interact with Chris "the jewel of Starfleet" Pike who had to sit out the war). How is Prime Lorca received on Discovery? Is Michael reluctant to trust him or does she power through her discomfort/grief/etc. because it's "illogical" to blame Prime Lorca for Mirror Lorca's actions? Does Prime Lorca feel displaced back in the prime universe? etc etc etc, so on and so forth. I really just want to see how these two grieving, emotionally wounded people might be able to come together despite the havoc Lorca's mirror self wreaked on Discovery and Michael in particular.
I also like the idea of Prime Lorca being rescued or turning up on Discovery, either in the future or an AU where Disco didn't jump 900+ years in the future. Are things awkward? Do he and Michael bond or do they initially dislike/distrust each other? How different is Prime Lorca from Mirror Lorca, if he's different at all...? It seems like one of the reasons Mirror Lorca was able to fool so many people who knew his prime counterpart is that they might not have been that different in temperament; if prime Lorca makes his way to the Discovery and the crew discover he's not that different, personality-wise, how would having him on board affect them given that this is supposedly the "good" one?
I could also see Lorca being put off by the age gap but still wanting Michael... and being stubbornly unwilling to pursue her due to propriety (while she grows increasingly frustrated at his inability to make a move). Does Michael have expectations of Prime Lorca based on the Mirror version that he shatters or lives up to?
As for Prime Burnham and Mirror Lorca, they have some Hades/Persephone vibes going on that I subconsciously latched onto while watching the show (and adore) so leaning into the gothic romance tropes with these two is always appreciated. Maybe she does actually intend to stay with him instead of trying to trick him. How does that go for her? How does that go for Mirror Lorca? Does staying with him change Michael (for better or worse), or does it change Mirror Lorca?
I also got the strong sense that Mirror Georgiou was manipulating Michael to get her onto her side/turn her against Mirror Lorca... So that's my baseline for Michael/Mirror Lorca. What if Michael eventually finds out Georgiou lied to her about Lorca/his relationship with Mirror Michael? Does that change things?
With Burnham and Mirror Lorca, specifically, I don't want a redemption story where he learns how to be a good person and/or how to better himself. I would actually love to see a story where perhaps he works some of Michael's/the Federation's sunnier, kinder, more optimistic worldview into his own while remaining true to "himself." I'd love to see him struggle with having his worldview changed the more he's around prime Michael, and how he copes with that. (Or doesn't.)
(Nuanced/complicated takes on Mirrorverse are like catnip to me also, fwiw.)
Michael and Mirror Georgiou
As for Burnham and Mirror Georgiou, I would love some sort of action/adventure story, with Prime Burnham and Mirror Georgiou having to rely on each other for survival (on an eldritch planet perhaps?) set in the primeverse, post-s1 or as an AU in the mirrorverse. Or maybe Burnham stays in the mirrorverse and usurps the throne from Georgiou herself?
Michael and Spock
With Michael and Spock, I desperately wanted more of them repairing their relationship and rebuilding the bond they once had into something stronger, but not without the bittersweet aftertaste of the pain they've both experienced at each other's hand. How would they have hypothetically grown together had Spock left with Discovery or had Michael stayed in the main timeline?
Michael/Pike / Michael and Pike
On the flipside, I really enjoyed Michael and Captain Pike, and how respectful and appreciative they were of each other. They just seemed to click together, not even from a romantic perspective, and it's fun to imagine what could have happened if canon had gotten nudged a little to the left. (If you want you can set it as a deleted/missing scene from the show; if you do that I'd be interested, especially, in something set after New Eden and/or The Red Angel, and the characters dealing with the fallout from the events in either of those eps.)
Or... Maybe Michael finds a way to save Pike without breaking canon, or she DOES break canon and they have to deal with the ramifications...
If you want to write something non-sexual/non-romantic, I'll happily take any of my proposed scenarios with a platonic bent. Something with a focus on their mutual admiration for one another/each other's different skills and attributes would be great.
Pike/Mirror Georgiou
I headcanon that Pike and Prime Georgiou knew each other/rubbed elbows at official events/etc., and I'm fascinated by the idea that he was kept in the dark about Mirror Georgiou for so long. I'd love something where they end up together for some reason (a mission? stress relief? bonding over their fondness for Michael?). Does Pike find himself comparing the woman he knew with this new Georgiou?
Or maybe an AU where Prime Pike ends up in the Mirror Universe at the mercy of the Emperor... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Michael and Gabrielle / Michael and all her mother figures
I'll take anything with Michael and the mothers/mother figures in her life. She's had so many of them, all with wildly different qualities, love languages, and so on. What would these women think of each other if they were all gathered together in one room?
Solo characters
I'd love character studies for any of the characters nominated (supporting characters/side pairings are fine in the background).
Of course I'll also love any combo of likes/freeforms if these ideas don't get the creative juices flowing.
If none of my ideas strikes you, please feel free to play with my tags/freeforms/likes/etc to come up with something!
Additional notes: Strong no to incestuous overtones between mirror Burnham and Georgiou. I prefer a dysfunctional family dynamic. I'd also prefer no references to past underage/abuse between mirror Lorca and Burnham; I don't share that headcanon/interpretation.
I tend to leave art specifics up to the individual artist. The only thing I'm not really into is chibi art, but other than that anything goes.
As far as fanvids go, I love gothic romance/gothic horror, film noir, dark romance/romanticism, and sci-fi/sci-fi horror. So, for example, S1 of Disco reimagined as a gothic romance would be super cool! Or Disco reimagined as an Alien-like space horror? But at the end of the day, it's all up to the vidder as long as it steers clear of the DNWs.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds
Pairings/characters:
Christopher Pike & Spock
Christine Chapel/Erica Ortegas
Erica Ortegas & Christopher Pike
Christine Chapel & Erica Ortegas
Prompts/ideas:
Pike and Spock
I love their relationship. Genuinely one of my favorite things to come out of nu!Trek as a whole. I don't see them as exactly a father/son dynamic... more of an older brother/younger brother thing. I'd love a further exploration of that, maybe how it ties in with Pike's eventual fate... or subverts it. Does Spock figure out a way to save Pike? Does he try to save Pike--and fail? Pile on the angst if you wish (I'll even take sad canon endings as long as you don't emotionally eviscerate me too much.)
Ortegas/Chapel / Ortegas and Chapel
There was a moment in the bodyswap episode (IIRC?) where Ortegas drops a comment that makes it come off like she and Chapel have a pre-series history... so I am very intrigued by the possibilities. How do they know each other outside the events of the show? How did they meet? What is/was their relationship like? If they were together and broke up prior to the show, how do they get back together? (Or you can take it in a platonic way and do a friendship breakup/makeup if you want too.)
Pike and Ortegas
I adore their relationship! They both give off exasperated siblings vibes at times, but seem to genuinely respect each other. Something playing off that dynamic would be wonderful. Also I wouldn't say no if you wanted to throw them back into a fantasy world a la the Elysian Kingdom; how does getting trapped in another universe strain their friendship? Are they able to overcome it? (For the purposes of this prompt, yes they can.)
Additional notes: If you want to throw a background Pike ship into one of the platonic pairings, I like Pike/Burnham, Pike/Lorca, Pike/Georgiou (obvs with these three characters not on SNW these would have to be past relationships or AUs), and Pike/Number One. Not really interested in Pike/Spock or Pike/Kirk.
I didn't request anything with La'an, Uhura, Hemmer, or M'benga but I enjoy them too and I'm perfectly happy with you including them as supporting characters too.
I tend to leave art specifics up to the individual artist. The only thing I'm not really into is chibi art, but other than that anything goes.
As for fanvids, with SNW, I'd love anything with strong found family/family of choice vibes. Or, ya know, "Pike putting together a heist team" AU vibes. Kinda the same thing, I think, in a way...

Once again, I'd like to stress that my prompts/ideas are only suggestions! Please don't feel constrained by them! Mix and match my likes/prompts/ideas/etc. as you please, or come up with something completely on your own without my input. They're just meant as a guide if you need it.
You can check out my other dear author letters here and here for a better idea of the kind of tropes I like! If you need any clarification please contact me through the mods and I'll get back to you ASAP.
