Ignoring the crash and burn that was the majority of season four, I will probably pick up on writing some TUA fics while the obsession is burning hot again. This has been sitting in my docs for awhile, when I had a strange obsession with the movie The Miracle Worker. But would anyone ever be interested in seeing a Miracle Worker AU?

HAPPY STAR TREK DAY!

Lt. Commander Montgomery "Scotty" Scott, Chief Engineer.

It's easy to tell that this is a shot from the 3rd season as Scotty's hair is brushed back. Actor James Doohan couldn't stand that hair style.
