My first time putting my own kitty into a coloring page! I was a little nervous trying it, but super happy with how it turned out!

I have been doing a lot of cozy coloring books for fun + relaxation and wanted to start sharing some of my completed pages on here! ❤️ I am still really new to art and alcohol markers and coloring but this is one of my favorite completed pages so far! (Started to crave ramen soo much while coloring this so we got ramen for dinner the night I completed it! 🧸🍜🍣🤤)

So on the cruise Garrett Wang made a joke that Kate Mulgrew never says anything inconsequential. As in, if shes not joking around then she’s looking into your soul and suddenly you’re having the deepest conversation of your life. He made that joke the night before photo ops with Kate. So then the next day my mum and I go up to get a photo with her together. Afterwards, she asked if we were mother and daughter and I said yes. Then, as my mum was walking off, Kate clasped my shoulder to get my attention, stared intently into my eyes, and with an incredible amount of emotion said “enjoy this time with your mother, you’ll miss her when she’s gone”. Then all of a sudden I’m needing to move even though I’m still processing that moment, while Kate is already getting ready for the next photo op. So uh, yeah. Garrett is absolutely right.

The Voyager Conspiracy - Truce

Realizing that they had gone through too much to stop trusting each other, Janeway and Chakotay trade their phasers for (only slightly poisoned) coffee...and a romantic dinner 😆🥰❤️

Hehe, enjoy! ❤️

I confess, this whole thing was really just an excuse for me to do the final dinner scene Cartoon style! LOL Their banter in that scene is just *chef's kiss*! 🥰

Davis, hiding and trying to sneak out: We need to distract Elder McKinley.

Arnold, hiding: Right.

Zelder, also hiding: How are we going to do that? He's super perceptive.

Kevin: I'll kiss him. That'll distract him.

Zelder: Wait, what?

Arnold: Thank you so much.

Kevin: Oh no, I'm not doing this for you. He didn't smile at me this morning and I'm angry about it.

treat yourself like you would treat your favorite character

Spending time with kids always reminds me how much I love the way they play. I’ll be like “hey kid look, this little bug is called an isopod it’s related to crabs and it eats dead plants” and they’ll immediately respond with something like “cool let’s play isopods we have to collect dead leaves as fast as we can and if we don’t get enough we die of starvation and have a bug funeral”

What an amazing way to process new information or explore an idea! It’s important to remember these kinds of games are not random or pointless; playing is how kids learn.

Wedding Reception

"Is it a sex toy?"

"I think it's a Klingon painstick."

"Yep, a sex toy. I'll write the thank you to B'Elanna."

"Thank her for the flying targ while you're at it."

"We should have locked the wedding program."

"We did. Tuvok unlocked it. They convinced him it's traditional for the guests to add things to the wedding."

"Hmm. I think this is a Vulcan beach. The sand is red. And Kes' flowers are nice."

"Those are fine. And the six-layer Jibalian fudge wedding cake. But the rest of them got a little carried away."

"They're just happy we finally made it official. They wanted to give us a memorable wedding."

"I suspect too much booze from that Maquis still had a lot to do with it."

Looking for that Happy Ending for John and Rodney? Feeling that urge to write that Happy Ever After story for our guys but just need a little incentive? Maybe you've found that perfect piece of McShep art and want to share it.

Boy, have we got a Fest for you!

We know the road to love and happy endings can be a rocky one, full of danger and angst. And we know our guys are more target practice and computer code than hearts and flowers. ( That's part of why we love them after all)

No matter how they get there, in the end, we want them to be happy together, and that's what this fest is all about.

In fact, that's the only requirement for the fest: a happy ending.

Truly, how you imagine John and Rodney's Romance is up to you. (I'm encouraging the addition of Hewligan stories because those boys surely need love too.)

All mediums, stories, meta, rec lists, podfic, pancakes, etc will be met with welcome delight. This is a fest and we are celebrating!

SGA Fanworks Only Holiday Gift Exchange 2023

A day you won’t forget by scifi_dancer | g, 2.4k, rodney / john

The prompt I used describes it well: "Nothing goes right - until it does."

A Little Christmas Chaos by WonkyElk | t, 3k, rodney / john

The Cheer Committee nodded in solemn and united agreement. In principle, of course, they agreed that ‘absolutely hosed’ was not the ideal state for a large proportion of the expedition to be in, at any one time, Christmas or not; but that didn’t stop them feeling that the punch could do with being just a smidgen merrier. For morale purposes. Which was why each of them, separately, decided to add just the tiniest amount of extra cheer to the punch.

Big enough to miss by Mas_Pebbles_Sharp | t, 3.9k, rodney / john

Missing scenes/coda to The Daedalus Variations: Rodney's injury from alien weapon fire is worse than they at first realised

Elizabeth’s Pet Demon by Tazmy | g, 2.8k, gen

A mini demon ransacks Elizabeth’s quarters. Somehow, it’s cute. It shouldn’t be. It should be wrong, maybe even disturbing.

Finding Limits by halestrom | g, 3.6k, gen

The only thing John could focus on was getting back to Atlantis, getting a team and finding Rodney before Ford's men did anything. Getting back to Atlantis and finding out that Rodney had rescued himself wasn't a surprise, but sitting and watching his still body as Carson tried to figure out what to do was hard. Not just for John, but for all of AR-1.

First Embrace by Cyber_Witch85 | m, 2.8k, carson / evan, rodney / john, evan / john

John Sheppard and Evan Lorne rescue Rodney and Carson from a wraith lair. Carson and Evan explore the beginnings of their relationship as John and Rodney sleep.

Golden Slumbers by cassiope25 | g, 3.8k, rodney / john, team

“You should put more trust in me,” Ronon told her gently. "There's nothing a former runner can't take on.” Ronon is there to care for his team, and they care for him in turn.

Hand in Hand by mific | e, 4.7k, rodney / john

"Yes, yes, we're the talk of the town," Rodney said, eyeing them narrowly. "Run along now and if you're ever on Cambara don't agree to do the damn welcome ritual." "And if you do," Sheppard panted, "don't come last."

His Rodney by Jade | g, 1.5k, gen

It’s not always easy to remember who he is.

I Can Do Anything Better Than You! by Goddess47 | t, 3k, rodney / john

John, the traitor, had lured him to this so-called 'social event' organized by some self-appointed group of Expedition members. There had been a promise of chocolate cake and John had hinted at the possibility of mutual orgasms at the end of the night.

i waited ‘til i saw the sun by LogicGunn | t, 1k, steven / elizabeth

Elizabeth remembers.

I’ll keep you warm by puddlejumperpilot | g, 2k, rodney / john

The sky was darkening and fluffy snowflakes were falling from the sky as Teyla gave her speech, but John was distracted by Rodney shivering violently next to him. John swore under his breath and took off the outer layer of his jacket, wrapping it around Rodney’s shoulders. “You’re from Canada, aren’t you supposed to be immune to the cold?” He hissed under his breath. Rodney shot him a glare. “You know I get cold easily!” He replied in a whisper. “I also know that you do this every year. I’m beginning to think you just like wearing my jacket. You’re lucky I expected this, otherwise I’d just let you freeze!”

Just Peachy by melagan | t, 1.7k, rodney / john

John and Rodney are married and living on Atlantis. They have a rare day off together, but things aren't working out the way Rodney planned.

Lighter Than Air by spurious | g, 2.6k, rodney / john

Visiting a trading partner, the team participate in a winter solstice ritual that's more effective than it might seem.

Like A Shot To The Shoulder (And Other Adventures on MXR-338) by audioletter | g, 2.8k, gen

As far as welcomes go, being shot in the shoulder was not what John considered polite.

Solace by A_Storm_of_Roses | e, 7.2k, teyla / elizabeth

Elizabeth wakes with the hangover of the century and a throbbing elbow. She can’t remember how she got here, or where here even is, though it feels hard and rocky and smells like burning metal. Elizabeth and Teyla take a very long walk, and discover each other.

the snow has drifted high by dedkake | t, 1.7k, rodney / john

Rodney and John watch the New Year's fireworks together, just like they always do.

Wraith Rodney by carsonsweebabyturtles (Erindors) | fanart

This is my Holiday gift for Cassiope25. I kind of gambled at making him a Wraith but I hope you like it anyways 💜

You can’t pin joy like a moth by QueenIshtar | t, 3.7k, john / elizabeth, carson / rodney

Elizabeth knows that you can't pin joy like a moth. It's too fleeting. Joy is the soft fluttering of wings you notice only in the still, silent moments. It's your heartbeat rushing, racing when you laugh; when you feel alive. Joy is not a complete, tangible thing.
