Putting out feelers

Thinking of adding Esther Summerson from Bleak House to my list or playing her on Discord but I'm wondering if there's a fandom left out there for her? Specifically looking for an Ada Clare to be friends with and John Jarndyce for shipping

closed starter for @meaningful-negativity

The man was familiar in a way she couldn't quite explain, even as she watched him all but fall into the seat next to her.

"...Sorry to be so blunt but uh, you look like you got rode hard and put away wet."

"I just wanted to thank you for the opportunity to serve aboard such a grand vessel." She nodded as she clasped her hands at the small of her back. "I'm sure my father was...very persuasive..." She said with a chuckle as she gave the infamous McCoy bounce, rocking up on the balls of her feet for a moment.

“Yes Sir.” Jo smiled warmly and offered her hand to the Captain. “I’m having a wonderful time thank you, the Enterprise is a fine ship Captain.”

❝   she’s the best in the fleet.   ❞     Kirk responds with a note of pride in his voice as his hand rests on the control panel closest to him,    finger tips brushing over the controls to the computer.    ❝    you’ll learn a great deal aboard her.    ❞

in honor of Star Trek Day, have a Joanna McCoy starter call!

[firstdxnxharm]

Jo watched them and then blinked. "Though not the worst thing we've ever tried..." She laughed at the memory. "That weird...spice cake that had the tomato soup in it, that I made for school in like second grade? That was....ooh boy.."

She tried another bite and looked over at Leonard. “…This is…this is bad isn’t it? Like real bad…” She pushed the bowl away and shook her head. “Oh…oh that was a mistake…” She looked at Jo and tilted her head.

“Oh come on you two it’s not that ba-” She took another bite with more caramel on it and her face spoke volumes as she swallowed reluctantly. “…Nope…no…absolutely not…” She made a face and pushed her bowl over next to Dahlia. “Trash. Absolute failure on all of our parts.” She made a little sound and put her spoon down in defeat. “Okay so we can add that to the list of things to never ever do again.”

He laughs. Mccoy has to laugh. The reaction from all of them, the way the girls just, let it all out once he, of course, spoke up first.

He’s got to laugh.

“Well, we tried it. We were adventurous. That isn’t a bad thing…for our taste buds, well…”

She took a bite of ice cream before gesturing casually with her spoon. “Oh I don’t know about that, but I know when the time comes all I can do is try my best…right?” She tried some of the caramel next and frowned. “That’s…different…and I can’t tell if it’s good different….or bad different.” She shrugged and turned to Leonard. “So, tell me all about when Jo was a kid?”

“Dad you did okay on your entrance exam if I remember right…didn’t you?” She smiled at Dahlia and nodded at her words. “That’s right, little girl, and no matter what happens we’ll be so proud of you for trying.” She chuckled at the look on Dahlia’s face when she tried her ice cream and did the same, and almost immediately mimicked her look. “…Different is…definitely the right word…and I agree…it’s not bad…but I’m not sure it’s great either.” She said with a laugh.

He reaches over to ruffle Dahlia’s hair again, fondly, before turning back to his own bowl. It isn’t that the academy wasn’t a fond time to think of either…the testing? About killed him. 

“I survived and that’s what matters. And you won’t just survive you’ll thrive. What’s more important is…”

Mccoy makes a face. Is it a good one? A bad one? 

“How’d I let you talk me into this?”

[firstdxnxharm]

"Dad you did okay on your entrance exam if I remember right...didn't you?" She smiled at Dahlia and nodded at her words. "That's right, little girl, and no matter what happens we'll be so proud of you for trying." She chuckled at the look on Dahlia's face when she tried her ice cream and did the same, and almost immediately mimicked her look. "...Different is...definitely the right word...and I agree...it's not bad...but I'm not sure it's great either." She said with a laugh.

“I’m nervous about it but I think I can do it.” Dahlia smiled as she held Jo’s hand, but she looked up and quickly jumped up to help Leonard with their bowls. “Here, let me take a couple of those!” She held her hands out to make carrying the bowls a bit easier.

Jo looked up as their father came back and spoke both to him and Dahlia as she smiled. “I don’t know, kid…I think you’re gonna do better on the entrance exam than I did.” She stood to help as well if it was needed and to give Leonard a quick peck on the cheek. “Thank you, Dad.”

He gives Jo a gentle pat on the back before he takes a seat with them, spoons distributed and all. He’d over heard, of course, and adds,

“You’ll do better than I did and then some.” 

And Mccoy believes it with all his heart, too. But understands of course it’d be nerve-wracking.

“Study, no.” She giggled as she sat down. “Like them a lot, yes.” She turned to watch him speak with Jo, even as she planted her bottom firmly in a seat and crossed her legs.

“Okay okay, go ahead.” She kissed his cheek as she sat down with Dahlia and fell into quiet conversation. “Starfleet Medical is hard, I won’t lie to you Dahlia….but I really think you can do it.” She was saying as she held onto her sister’s hand, rubbing her thumb over the back of it reassuringly.

Maybe he stands there stupidly, adoringly, smitten for a few moments just watching them, but rest assured Mccoy can follow orders– even ones he gave himself. So after that moment he does go to fetch the ice cream, all the lovely sweet things they could think up.

He takes his time, giving the two sisters that time to bond, and eventually when he returns he’s balancing three bowls.

[firstdxnxharm]

"Yes Sir." Jo smiled warmly and offered her hand to the Captain. "I'm having a wonderful time thank you, the Enterprise is a fine ship Captain."

❝   you’re doctor Mccoy’s daughter?  ❞    he recalled Bones saying he had a daughter.   when she transferred to the Enterprise,   he was quite in shock,   but ultimately supportive.   it was about time they met.   Kirk offers a smile.   ❝   how are you enjoying your time?   ❞    @firstdxnxharm​   ->   starter call

She giggled and wiggled out of Jo’s grasp to hug him tightly around the waist. “I’d like to try caramel on mine…I bet the buttery flavor will go good with strawberry and chocolate.” She thought a moment and peeked up at him. “…Did you know they make peanut butter chips?”

Jo smiled watching them hug as she turned into the mess hall. “I mean if we’re gonna do caramel sauce I’m definitely in. Love it mixed with milk too…” She smiled as she looked up at their Dad. “If you wanna sit I’ll go get the ice cream for us?”

His eyes widen comically. He didn’t know, and Dahlia’s going to know that. “No I didn’t…do you study sweets now or something? You might make Sulu jealous at this rate.” 

Mccoy smiles and gives the girl a tiny squeeze, then his gaze flickers to his elder daughter. “You just got here. You can hang out with Dahlia for a second and I can go get it.” 

[firstdxnxharm]

Jo smiled watching them hug as she turned into the mess hall. "I mean if we're gonna do caramel sauce I'm definitely in. Love it mixed with milk too..." She smiled as she looked up at their Dad. "If you wanna sit I'll go get the ice cream for us?"

Jo’s eyebrows shot up as she listened to Dahlia. She came up and rested her hands on her shoulders.

“Little girl…you are a genius.”

Jo smirked as she ruffled her sister’s hair.

“What do you say Dad?”

He Grumps. But it’s playful, there’s a roll of his eyes and he places his hands on their shoulders.

“I say you’re both rather clever, and best at talking your ol’ man down, hmm? Should we put caramel on the ice cream too, or not?”

[firstdxnxharm]

Jo's eyebrows shot up as she listened to Dahlia. She came up and rested her hands on her shoulders.

Jo let go of Dahlia to cross her arms as she pushed her chin up a bit, playfully glaring. “Does so! It gets super gooey and messy and it’s the best! You just don’t let yours sit long enough..” She winked at Dahlia, chuckling at the young girl trying to keep a straight face at their playful bickering.

The Elder McCoy? Impatient? Nooo never. Dahlia pressed her lips together firmly even as her narrow shoulders shook with held in laughter, gazing back and forth between the stubborn playful look on Joanna’s face and their father’s grinning glare. If this is what being a McCoy meant, the universe could take it from her when she was dead.

Mccoy props his arms on his hips, the patented Dad Mccoy look, and narrows his eyes, though his lips are twitching with the threat of a grin.

“Why, I do surgery quickly, why wouldn’t I want my S’mores quick too? If I wanted to toil over something on a fire, I’d make beans instead.”

Dahlia looked between them, perplexed. “What’s a S'more?” She had never heard of such a thing but judging by the way Jo’s face lit up when he mentioned them, they must be very good!

Jo blinked and looked at Dahlia and blinked again. “Oh little girl do we have much to teach you.” She let go of her sister’s hand to wrap an arm around her shoulders and hug her close. “A S'more is nothing short of heaven on Earth. It’s a toasted marshmallow, part of a chocolate bar sandwiched on Graham crackers….but between you and me…” She lowered her voice even though she knew full well her father already knew what she was going to say. “They’re way better with peanut butter cups.”

“Joanna Mccoy!” Mccoy huffs, as if he’s scandalized, though nothing can take this grin off his face, away from him.

“The travesty…the blasphemy…Grandpa is rolling in his grave right now. The peanut butter doesn’t even melt.”
