Girls. Star Trek. Science. Girls doing sciencey things in Star Trek. Also Root and Shaw and Bering and Wells, occasionally Swan Queen, often various milfs. Mostly Bobbie and Chrisjen at this point. Queer as fuck. Fandom Old. She/her/hers. Also I am aware that my blog theme is boring and probably ugly but it's readable (to me) and has visible tags which is all I care about. Maybe eventually I'll make it pretty. (I won't.) Ask something. Submit shit here so it won't get eaten by the ask monster. My fic on AO3. Sometimes I write fic-like things on tumblr. sqreceipts, an archive of abuse toward the SQ fandom.

Chapters: 29/29 Chapter Word Count: 8185 (169658 total) Fandom: The Expanse Rating: T (E overall) Relationships: Chrisjen Avasarala/Bobbie Draper Characters: Chrisjen Avasarala, Bobbie Draper Additional Tags: Post-Canon, Canon Compliant, Established Relationship, Relationship Negotiation, Long-Distance Relationship, Bed Sharing, Bickering, Canon-Typical Violence, discussions of ethical non-monogamy, Hijinks & Shenanigans, Competence Porn, a years-long game of marriage chicken, terrible poetry, light hurt/comfort, light crack, some minor Michio and Josep content, Domesticity, Accidental Marriage, a bit of angsty crack

Summary:

Bobbie and Chrisjen, post-canon, in love and making it work while Chrisjen rebuilds Earth and Bobbie splits her time between Earth and the Rocinante. And if an ongoing joke gets a little out of hand, well, these things happen.

Chapter Summary:

Thirteen years after they met, seven years after the war, Chrisjen's time in office is coming to an end. Bobbie marks an occasion, and ponders what the future holds for their life together.

It’s done! This is the final chapter!! I somehow managed to end up with a word count of 169k (nice) and I have absolutely no idea how it happened, but I hope you’ll enjoy my self-indulgent end to my self-indulgent story as much as I did.

I keep “whooshing away” the same bunch of blogs that I’m not interested in. I’m talking dozens of times. When will the app get the hint that I have no interest in seeing or following them?

Answer: Hey there, @monkeymeghan.

Thanks for flagging this with us. This was actually the result of something we were working on, but we are happy to say it has now been fixed!

Thanks for your feedback, and keep it coming.

Best,

i see a lot of assumptions that modern au sarah alder would be effortlessly cool and charming with women, but i think this underestimates her swagless appeal. she hasn’t had a friend outside of work in at least 200 years. if she’s angry, her polycule hisses at you. when tally storms into her office in the middle of the night demanding to know the truth about nicte, her instinct is to put on a slow jazz record. when tally has a visible gay existential crisis about alder’s mushroom resurrection, sarah is literally like Hey try these sick ass nachos. when tally makes her promise to leave her behind in the ice caves, she feebly protests by saying raelle and abigail would Kill her. meanwhile alder literally can’t die again unless the mushroom says so. SWAGLESS

i would kill for the confidence of novelists who write genius-poet characters and then actually write samples of the “genius” poetry in the book. if i were a novelist writing a genius-poet i’d just be like “trust me, the poetry’s real good.”

i bet daniel craig and rachel weisz are engaged in forms of full time kink we can't even comprehend. like if he leaves even one speck of crust on her tea sandwiches she puts him in a christening gown and hunts him on their estate

I get to share the piece that I did for @novaandmali ‘s Classics but make it Gay volume 3!! The preorder is going on right now so go check out our shop

My goal to make a piece about belonging regardless of what your love/body looks like <3

[Image ID: a digital painting in the style of Rembrandt (based on the Jewish Bride). Two trans figures standing side by side, one of whom is pregnant. The other figure is resting her hand on his stomach and smiling down at him. The colors are mostly browns, yellows, and reds and the background is a simple dark brown.]

A SEVEN OF NINE NOVEL!!!! FROM ENDGAME VOYAGER TO SEVEN JOINING THE FENRIS RANGERS!!!

I was hoping Una McCormack would write this novel but I’ll take it, I’m not familiar with David Mack so I hope he does a good job with her.

Seven is my most favorite Trek character so I hope they do this well!

Pre-order link here. It’s out by February 2024.
