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 I'm with someone. So it doesn't matter. But thank you anyways.
Of course you don't.

Congrats then! Anyone exciting?
Really, I don't.

Not anyone that's any of your business.
Whatever you say.

Ah, secret it is then. Well, I hope you're happy with whoever it is.

So far I am. Thanks.
I hope you're happy with Lattimer.

Has he said anything about his feelings? And this is Jim. So "my stomach hurts" or "I want pie" could be code.
You're sweet, but a bad liar.

I suppose. And I have to get back to work now, take care.

He has been very insistent that I let him have a blueberry muffin for breakfast for the last few days. And um. We talked about our childhoods right before I almost killed him just now.
Exactly. Which is why you know I'm not lying about this.

Apparently some idiot around here has decided we're dating. Might wanna fix that as you search for new toys.

Alright. Thank you, Dr Dehner.

Not sure. But some little ensign, I don't know which, popped her head in here and just congratulated me for it. Apparently you dumped Vinny and Gary for me.

I know. Gossip is getting worse at being correct around here. I mean really, at least get who dumped who right. That's just poor form to have wrong.

It's not surprising though, considering how strongly all of these sheep feel the need to mate.

No, not particularly I suppose. They do all have that need and obsession. Perhaps they can be forgiven.

They're certainly not off the mark. At least we're suited for each other. Can you imagine if they suggested one of us end up with someone like Giotto or Galloway or Lemli? Disgusting saps.

They're in the area, yes. Ew, I'm positively gagging at the thought. I wouldn't be caught dead going after anyone like that.

Neither would I. Thank god we have each other.

And by "have each other" I obviously mean "have each other to fuck," not "have each other to have each other."
