Bearing Witness

Fandom: Star Trek Discovery
Rated: G
Category: Culmets. Literal Fluff. Early Relationship. Family. I Regret Nothing.
Word Count: 1287.
Season: Pre-Series/Open, but early. Pretty much AU/speculation.
Spoilers: None.
Summary: Paul and Hugh have been dating long enough for family favors to be called in, but not so long that they can’t surprise each other.
Note: Written for a random word prompt of “attic.” And yes, the new character here is named after another. I couldn’t help myself. This one’s for you, Rickie. You were (and are) everything.

All In Good Time

Fandom: Star Trek Discovery
Rated: PG
Category: Culmets. Found Family. Humor. Domestic Mostly Bliss. Parenting. Gray is Corporeal.
Word Count: 666.
Time Frame: Post Season Three.
Spoilers: General Series Knowledge Only – Through Season Three.
Summary: Paul’s overreacting. Hugh’s placating. It’s all about Adira. In other words, it’s business as usual at the Stamets-Culber dinner table.
Note: In relation to this fic by araviis, Elaine27 asked for Paul finding out about Adira and Grey both talking to Tilly and Hugh about 'taking the next step' and completely, ridiculously over reacting. Maybe with an extra bit of insecure Paul, who was a very late bloomer for many reasons, partly because he was very awkward and nerdy. And then Hugh, who was probably the complete opposite. I ran with it, with permission from araviis. Hope it’s okay, Elaine27. Oh, and FYI for all: There is no need to have read the araviis story to understand this one – though I do recommend it in general, because it’s lovely.

Unwilling Pupil

Fandom: Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
Rated: G
Category: Double Drabble. Julian Bashir/Elim Garak. Humor.
Season: Any?
Spoilers: Nothing specific.
Summary: Garak’s relationship with Julian was teaching him new things all the time. And for the most part, he enjoyed his lessons. But he could’ve lived without this particular one.
Note: Forgive me, as DS9 is my weakest Trek. I’m due a rewatch for sure. But alas, a random prompt came my way from the Spaceboos (Discovery) Discord, and here we are. I’m sorry – except I’m not. Be gentle, please. It’s my first time to write on the Station. Inspired by this art by Dr. Una McCormick.

Cheers and here’s hoping 2021 is happy and healthy. Also, I must credit Aphelyon for this fic. He said, “we have time, and that in itself is a beautiful and impossible thing” in his story, “Million Reasons.” I read it today and here we are.
