startrek_diary"Since the days of the first wooden vessels, all ship masters have had one happy privilege: that of uniting two people in the bonds of matrimony."
In TOS, Kirk was happy to marry two of his crewmen. In TNG, when Keiko and O'Brien were getting married, Data worried about finding a gift. So it's not unheard of for crewmen to marry.
Three years into the voyage, after the Narada, two crewmembers, Hikaru Sulu and Pavel Chekov, have decided to take the plunge.
The whole ship is a buzz.
In order to officiate well, Kirk did some researching and found something very, very strange. In the wake of the whole world-saving gig, the crew has become... famous. They're being written about. And not always in flattering ways. In fact, they seem to have developed a fandom.
Of course, no one can contain their curiosity.
So people are sending around snippets of fanfic- from awful to awesome, from G to triple-X.
So- who is shocked by who they're shipped with? Who was a secret member of fandom when they were younger? And who is still writing?
And in the end, do Sulu and Chekov pull it off, or do they decide there's a better ship for them?
Thanks to Bubbles for the inspiration.

Well there's stuff to do. My crew needs me way more than I need me.
...did you really just suggest I take up embroidery? What, you need 342 pillows with a giant phallus on them? Because you and I both know that's what you'd get.
Do you just eat it from the jar? Or like, dip chocolate in it?

Oh Dave, that's perfect.
Are you with Jan now?

Silly Roger indeed. I'm guessing he's figured it out by now though?
A lot? Come on Davey you've seen my closet!

I love you.
Yes. Poor thing can't dress herself. She needs her Davey to critique her shoes.

Yes, and you can't be there for your crew if you continually run yourself ragged.
Why yes, actually. That is exactly what I need.
Straight from the jar. It's a movie night ritual. You should join us sometime.

I love you too.
Well you are a snappy dresser.

I think the fact that sitting down is going to be difficult all day speaks for itself.
I know, you're hopeless by the way.

How exactly did he react when he found out? And what are you guys doing for your anniversary?
You love me anyways and you know it.

I am not ragged. I just take my job seriously. You know I'm the youngest captain in the fleet. I need to show them I deserve it.
Okay, but do you trust me with an embroidery needle?
That is horrifying and awesome. I don't want to intrude on your time with him.

Janny just pointed out that we have an anniversary coming up. Did you realize that? Do you want to celebrate it?
I do look good in red.

Yes, but you do tend to get dangerously close. They know you deserve it. They wouldn't have given you the flagship if you didn't.
You're right. You should take up crochet instead. The needles are blunt.
Oh, that's alright. Roger's been joining us lately anyways. You don't have to worry about Davey and me. We get our girl time whenever we need it.

Okay, I'm going to confess this and then you get to call me a twelve year-old girl. I have it marked on a calendar. And yes, I would really like to celebrate it. But only if you do.
You look better out of red baby.

He says in retrospect it was obvious. But at the time there was a lot of giggling on both our parts.
I love you the mostest.

Oh dear, I can just imagine him trying to get you to top. I hope it wasn't too traumatizing.
I love you too Davey. What do you think of this dress?

I am always sexy and well groomed. And they gave it to me, they can take it away if I fuck up bad enough.
I get enough needles when Bones is in a bad mood. Can't I take up a cool hobby like underwater basket weaving?
My assistant Security Chief is a giant 13-year-old girl. Awesome.

Oh my god I love you so much. What do you want to do?
Even if the red is in the form of strappy stilettos?

Date: 2010-05-23 03:48 am (UTC)Recipient: Kirk, James
Well, you are always sexy. But you won't.
Nope, too dangerous. Why don't you make bead animals instead?
Isn't it?

Date: 2010-05-23 03:48 am (UTC)Recipient: Rand, Janice
Nah, he mostly wanted to make me feel good. He's more of a top than I could be. I spend all day taking care of people. I just want to be loved and all.
Eh. Do you have something... more retro?

You. Other than that, I have no preference.
Tempting, but I still prefer you wearing nothing.

Glad to know the crew appreciates my hard work. No, because I won't let myself.
Bead animals? The fuck are those?
It's adorable.

You two are so cute and perfect for each other!
Actually, I do!

Well, dinner? Dancing? I suck at dancing. Horseback riding on the holodeck?
If we lived in a perfect world, I'd never wear clothes again.

Well if it helps, you have the whole crew behind you.
You know, animals made out of beads strung together. It's really not that difficult of a concept to understand.
I like to think so.

Horseback riding sounds perfect, love.
I'd hate that. I don't want anyone else to get to see what belongs to me.

I know he had our anniversary marked in his calendar. Adorable.
Throw that sucker on, bitch!
