Star Trek Femslash Rarepair Ideas Day 2: Kira Nerys/Tasha Yar

(These are Tasha Lives AUs obviously)

Tasha is one of the Starfleet officers accompanying Sisko to DS9 right after the end of the occupation. Kira and Tasha have a tense first meeting where they argue about some practical issue that turns into a conflict over Starfleet’s presence on the station and Federation ideals in general. But while they continue to come into conflict over nearly every issue they jointly deal with, they grow to admire each other’s strength of conviction. All this culminates in a situation where they’re stuck together and have to use their combat skills and ingenuity to get out. The stress of the situation causes them to admit they actually like each other and have a lot in common, and they connect over the parallel experiences of their violent childhoods. Tasha admits that she’s so defensive of the Federation’s ideals partially because she still has trouble relating to the Federation, the trauma of her childhood making her feel like an outsider to its utopian ideals. Kira says that her perspective on the Federation has begun to change, and Tasha is a large part of the reason why. At this point they obviously start kissing, sweaty and exhausted and covered in bruises.

For a lighter idea (and one that would probably make sense told as an outsider POV story from Odo’s perspective), Tasha is the Starfleet security officer they send instead of Eddington. Season 3 Kira gets along much better with Tasha on their first meeting, and they quickly grow to be friendly acquaintances. Tasha’s primary conflict is with Odo who isn’t happy about the Starfleet competition, and is immediately distrustful of her. While Odo tries to find evidence that Tasha’s up to no good, Kira and Tasha start playing Springball together and develop a competitive friendly rivalry. Odo’s sleuthing eventually uncovers that Tasha’s secret is that she and Kira are using their Springball games as cover for a secret relationship.

I don't know why, but America is the first supporter of Israel, as two days ago everyone in the Security Council voted to stop the war on Gaza directly, while America objected to this resolution against the veto. Is it possible that this is in our interest, or do they not want this genocide against us to stop?

For @nebulouscoffee, who requested post-canon Kira/Kasidy!

Nothing is more inspiring for writing than having other things I should be doing. I really, really need to do laundry, and clean, and pack, and thus instead of doing any of those things I am hunting down Sappho fragments I want to use as titles.

seven, struggling with the adjustment to hierarchy of authority, not yet realizing that one of her teachers in this subject, b'elanna, once, like god, tried/managed to grant life-powers to a bunch of intelligent robots she met in the middle of nowhere.

it was a stroke of genius to give James T Kirk a bitchy flip phone in the 60's, truly amazing to watch him slam it shut like a pissed off socialite girl in 2000's teen shows

'Pretenders' is back, with chapter ten (the latest; please mind the tags!) After nearly one and a half years, I finally worked up enough confidence to update it last week, and now I am doing something which I have never ever done before even once lol, which is posting a link to one of my fics here on Tumblr. I have literally never managed this- in fact even reblogging other people's posts that link to my fics is something I find scary and I usually only manage out of gratitude to the OP. So if I delete this post later, well, that's why🙈

I am working on chapter 11, and I just felt deeply motivated to say thank you to anyone still reading on here too, and to anyone newly reading. Apart from the break I took from fandom in general (mostly for irl reasons), posting my writing online had become really difficult for me by 2023- I'm still trying to regain that initial confidence I had back in '22, which in hindsight was mostly a result of novelty and adrenaline😅 So I really appreciate every person who's been so encouraging, both then and now <3

Im crying bc i thought about kira nerys for 4 seconds.

She went from an orphaned child soldier to the liberator of Cardassia. She freed the people that oppressed her and took her childhood and her parents and countless friends. And she did it all even tho she was sure she was going to die and didn’t even WANT to help them. But she did it because she knew it was the RIGHT thing to do. And then she immediately lost her partner and best friend, Odo, when she went home. And then all but one of her other friends left as well.

She lost her partner, Bareil, in like the worst way possible, a piece at a time. She lost her new father figure, Tekeny. She lost her sister/daughter Ziyal. She lost Jadzia. She lost her close friend and religious figure, Sisko.

The universe took everything from you and your faith never wavered, your kindness only grew with time. You took no shit from anyone and you slayed the whole time. Nerys you are everything to me.

What they don't tell you about writing is that as you write, you discover scenes and entire plots that you hadn't accounted for that need to be written. So you can spend two hours writing and editing only to realise you're further away from the finish line than you thought you were when you started
