The Empty Chair, Ael & her niece & Arrhae, restoration

[cofax7]

I'd like to see a story in which Ael's niece gets a name, and in which she comes back from wherever she's been and tries to settle back into Rihannsu society with her aunt as Empress. Also, Arrhae would be there, which would lead to some interesting conversations, I suspect.

Re: The Empty Chair, Ael & her niece & Arrhae, restoration

[revdorothyl]

Good one! I've been wanting to know what came next at the end of that book (indeed, that series of books), and you're so right that the whole 'nobody ever specifically refers to her name' thing with the former Romulan Commander from "The Enterprise Incident" can seem a teensy bit dismissive, after a while.

[nestra]

Final Frontier, George/Drake, I'd love a George/Drake story that doesn't wipe aside Winona Kirk, but acknowledges that sometimes relationships are broken beyond fixing. Bonus points for Drake being awesome, both funny and irritatingly perceptive.

[killabeez]

Ooh, I fully support this. *hopes*

The Kobayashi Maru

[melannen]

The Kobayashi Maru, any character, take any of the exercises or tests in this book, and show how any other character (canon, book, or reboot) handled it.

[nestra]

Dreadnought!, Piper/Sarda, He's Spock and she's the female version of James T. Kirk. They are MFEO.

The Lost Era, Admiral Uhura

[melannen]

The Lost Era, Admiral Uhura, Uhura as M: In the Lost Era books & Vulcan's Soul books following them, Uhura has become head of Starfleet Intelligence after a long covert career. Write a story about that, in which Uhura is awesome and sexy and in charge. Bonus points for Admiral Uhura/Ambassador Spock UST or RST.

The Price of the Phoenix, Di'on/James

[melannen]

The Price of the Phoenix, Di'on/James, James's life in the Romulan Star Empire.

Re: The Price of the Phoenix, Di'on/James

[revdorothyl]

ooh, good one! The Fate of the Phoenix ended up being kind of a let-down, as I recall. An alternate telling of that tale would be welcome.

The Rihannsu Trilogy, Arrhae

[melannen]

The Rihannsu Trilogy, Arrhae, at the end of the Empty Chair, two of the most powerful people in the Romulan Empire are Terrans, in disguise and gone native. Write a story about how that works out (or doesn't!), politically and personally, over the long term, especially once things like marriage, children, and growing old become relevant.

The Wounded Sky, any characters

[melannen]

The Wounded Sky, any characters, at the end of The Wounded Sky, K't'lk and the crew of the Enterprise created a new universe with themselves as the founding mythology. Write me a story in which any characters (canon, book, or reboot) end up in that universe and have an adventure.

Prime Directive, Sulu & Chekov

[melannen]

Prime Directive, Sulu and Chekov, The Extended Adventures of Sulu and Chekov: Space Pirates.

Re: Prime Directive, Sulu & Chekov

[thedrummertobeat]

<3333333 YES, THIS.

New Voyages 2/"The Procrustean Petard"

[melannen]

New Voyages 2/"The Procrustean Petard", any character, tell the story of some of the people who chose not to go back.

Re: New Voyages 2/"The Procrustean Petard"

[cofax7]

Or tell the story in which none of them can go back. *eg*

The Lost Era, Uhura (reboot)

[yahtzee]

The Lost Era, Uhura (reboot) -- In the LE novels, Uhura ends up as head of Starfleet intelligence after many years in covert operations. I'd like to see reboot Uhura beginning her intelligence career aboard the Enterprise, because I'm guessing that listening in to the galaxy's conversations is a good way to get started. I did not make Spock/Uhura part of the prompt, but if you wanted to include that pairing, it would be awesome.

Dark Mirror, Picard, backstory

[telesilla]

Just about any look at Mirror!Picard would be totally and utterly made of awesome(and Earl Gray).

Re: Dark Mirror, Picard, backstory

[rhivolution]

I lurve that book to bits.

New Voyages 2/"The Procrustean Petard"

[cofax7]

Tell the story in which the genderswitching process cannot be reversed, and Kirk, McCoy, Uhura, Sulu & Chapel all (or any subset of them) have to deal with living that way for the rest of their lives. How do they deal?

Dark Mirror, Worf, empires

[cofax7]

Picard from our universe leaves Mirror!Worf with the understanding that the Imperial Star Empire (or whatever it's called) has a limited lifespan, and the Klingons might have a chance to free themselves. What does Worf do with this information?

Pandora's Principle, Saavik and Spock (reboot)

[yhlee]

Spock beginning to educate Saavik in the ways of things Vulcan on the voyage home, just after she's been rescued. If you want to take it beyond that, that's awesome too; and bonus points for linguistics-y stuff on the Vulcan and Romulan languages.

[beatrice_otter]

Pandora Principle, Saavik, life on Hellguard in the new reality (reboot)

Pandora Principle, My Enemy My Ally, The Romulan Way

[beatrice_otter]

Ael, maybe Arrhae if you want. What's happening with Romulan genetic experimentation in the new timeline? Reboot.

Spock's World, Kesh, Pel'sht

[beatrice_otter]

Ghost stories.

Spock's World, Amanda/Sarek

[beatrice_otter]

More of the two of them being adorable together. Either old school or reboot.

Pandora Principle, Spock!Prime, Saavik

[beatrice_otter]

Spock!Prime goes to rescue everyone a decade or so early. They rescue adults as well as children, and maybe capture some pregnant Romulan women to take back and hold until they give birth to their mixed-race children. Reboot.

[speccygeekgrrl]

Doctor's Orders, Uhura, chatting with the Ornae and having some communication difficulties with words that Standard has that Ornae doesn't, and vice versa.

Death Count: Chekov, Sulu, Uhura, lizards

[beatrice_otter]

The adventure's over, but Chekov's still in the lockup. What happens next?

[speccygeekgrrl]

The Wounded Sky, any combination of Kirk/Spock/McCoy. In the anentropic universe, everyone's true qualities blazed through. Some things become undeniable when the deepest parts of your heart come to the surface, but it's not so easy to be understood once they return to the normal universe.

Battlestations! Sarda, Perren

[beatrice_otter]

Sarda and Perren, mentorship, before the book starts.

Ishmael, Aaron, Spock, Biddy, and the rest

[beatrice_otter]

An AU (either TOS or Reboot) where they're later in rescuing Spock, and he's gone thoroughly native.

Re: Ishmael, Aaron, Spock, Biddy, and the rest

[revdorothyl]

Ooh, yes! The Klingons would have to take longer to trace the Bolts and Stemple to Seattle, as well, since it's seeing Klingons at Candy's wedding reception (as I recall) that suddenly returns Spock to himself, but that's a minor tweak (slight alteration to the events during the abortive gambling trip to San Francisco, perhaps?).
