#the cheese is snw

[gayfour]

He is the third and final piece of the puzzle, he is the bringer of balance and cohesion to the world, the structure. He is humanity’s reflection of itself, its desperate struggles, and its beautiful successes. He represents the alien feeling of being complete, that which many humans spend their entire lives searching for. He exists to hold together that which must exist within each of us.

[spocksbrainworms]

For season 3 of SNW I really want them to lean into the sitcom cheese vibes. Because I want nothing more than for there to be someone alone on the ship. For whatever reason everyone else has disappeared. Maybe poofed away by a Q-esque being.

And I want this explicitly for the purpose of an engineer having to solo operate the Enterprise via Rube Goldberg machine.

Little is as little does

Una couldn’t see the others in the room due to the blanket fort but she finally registered their voices. They were speaking quietly about what pelia had found. Una knew she should care, but at the moment she just didn’t.

She brushed another kiss to la’ans forehead and continued stroking her hair. spock and uhura were whispering to la’an but it was either a language una wasn’t familiar with or some communication unique to children. Until there was one word that una did recognize; ice cream.

She smiled and waited another five minutes before she felt tiny uhura and spock shift. The little boys serious eyes bored into hers. “My sisters and I would like some ice cream.”

Una hid her smile. “I’m sure captain pike has some. Why don’t you go ask him?”

Tiny uhura giggled, squeezed la’ans arm excitedly, slid off the couch and darted out of the blanket fort. Spock nodded and after a final glance to la’an, slipped out after uhura.

Una could hear when baby uhura practically bowled the adults over in her delight. She danced around and clapped her enthusiasm. Spocks musical voice soon joined in.

La’an finally shifted in unas lap. “You want ice cream?” una asked softly. la’an gave a shy smile and nodded. “Okay, sweet pea,” una agreed. She shifted slowly but when una tried to put the girl down, she resisted.

So una just scrambled, only half awkwardly, from the blanket fort with la’an on her hip. She went to the table, where tiny spock and uhura already sat. They had bowls in front of them and there was another set out for la’an. The captain had his apron on and looked overjoyed at being able to feed his kids again. He looked more determined than ever, after the rocky start with Spock earlier.

There were several different flavors already replicated and sitting on the table. As well as a truly impressive amount of toppings. Some of the things, una didn’t even recognize.

Una sat as she shifted the little girl on her hip so she was standing between unas legs and able to see/reach all the delicious options on the table. La’an stiffened for a moment but then spock nodded to her and baby uhura excitedly pointed out the hot fudge.

Captain pike held a big ice cream scoop and brandished it with the skill and mastery of an ancient sword master. He quickly dished up tiny uhuras toffee and pecan icecream. The little communications officer wasted no time in drowning it in hot fudge and brownie bits.

Spock requested, and received, plain vanilla. But he acquiesced to some rainbow sprinkles after encouragement from chapel.

La’an eyed her options methodically, like a general heading into battle. She peered at them closely and even sniffed a couple of them. But finally, she pulled back and pointed to the strawberry icecream. It hadn’t even been a question really. Captain pike dished her up a healthy helping with a massive grin and watched as she added strawberry sauce to it.

That completed, la’an sat back onto unas lap once more and looked up at her, almost as if for approval. Una smiled and nodded. “Looks delicious,” she murmured.

An hour later they were gathered around the table again, but this time making home made pizza. The captain had insisted it would be fun and had only been encouraged when Dr Mbenga had stated that it would be an interesting way to observe the childrens fine motor skills. Which had earned an irritated huff from spock as well as la’ans eyes narrowing suspiciously.

But, despite that, captain pike, the three tiny crew and the rest of his senior officers all huddled around the table adding ingredients to their pizza dough. Sauce was spattered everywhere around uhura and toppings trailed around her like bread crumbs.

Spock had measured his sauce out precisely and now carefully added a spoonful of cheese at a time.

La’an stood between unas legs again, leaning over her masterpiece. She already had a pile of cheese on it and now looked over the available toppings. At uhura urging, she took a tiny bite of pineapple, eyed it for a moment then started adding it to her pizza.

Captain pike looked horrified. “You cant put pineapple on pizza!”

“Who says?” chapel challenged with a smirk.

“Yeah,” ortegas quickly chimed in. She tilted her head. “Some of us like the sweeter things in life.” She winked at uhura who giggled and dumped more pineapple onto the plethora of other ingredients she already had.

“The combination between salty and sweet can be quite pleasing,” Mbenga noted as he watched la’an scatter peperoni onto her creation.

La’an watched spock out of the corner of her eye as he delicately added slightly more cheese to one corner of his pizza. The corners of her lips tugged up minutely. She took a chunk of pineapple and slipped it deliberately onto his little mound of cheese.

Unas eyebrows shot up in surprise. She, along with everyone else, waited for baby spocks reaction. He looked at the offending piece of fruit and then glared at la’an. Uhura leaned over and seemed to whisper in la’ans ear. Then they both giggled. Well, tiny uhura giggled. La’an just smirked.

La’an looked smug as she met spocks eyes. Her own seemed to dance. Spock saw her amusement and he crossed his arms over his chest with a glower.

Una cleared her throat. “La’an,” she said lightly. “If you want to add something to spocks pizza, you should ask him first.”

La’an frowned. She looked up to una, to spock, to the pineapple, then back to spock then una again. She pursed her lips but then she blew out a sigh and retrieved the offending pineapple. Una swore she could feel little la’an roll her eyes at spock even though she couldn’t see it.

Uhura giggled again and la’an smiled at her. Then she tilted her head at spock in apology and slid more cheese over to him. He only hesitated a moment before he accepted with a Vulcan version of a smile.

Una suppressed her own smile and squeezed la’ans leg in approval. The little girl beamed up at her. una tried not to let her heart melt. And probably-definitely-failed.

Luckily the captain had a huge oven which could bake all the personal sized pizzas of his senior staff at one time. How he had gotten approval for it, una had no idea. But it was no time at all before everyone was able to enjoy their culinary creations.

Una made sure to cut la’ans into pieces for her. she smiled as Mbenga helped tiny uhura and captain pike cautioned spock to wait until it had cooled before he ate his. The little boy looked unimpressed with this advice.

Ortegas tapped a slice of her olive covered pizza with baby uhuras in a mock salute and they both laughed.

La’an did better eating this time. But una still had to encourage her periodically.

When the meal was finally over, the three kids were covered in a hilarious amount of pizza and had to be wrangled (mostly uhura, who had scampered at the first sight of the washcloth) for the indignity of wiping their hands and faces clean.

When captain pike looked at the disastrous state of his kitchen, una raised an eyebrow at him in an ‘I told you so gesture’. He just looked at his kids/crew laughing and smiling together and shrugged happily.

after i saw the rise of skywalker i came home and immediately watched first contact. after the travesty of mando season 3 i've been immersing myself in strange new worlds. i KNOW it's lazy to compare the two franchises as they are pretty much chalk and cheese in terms of ideology but. every time star wars does something stupid or joyless i'm like. what if there was a wonderful antidote to this. and star trek delivers every time!

anyway the musical episode of snw will be soon be proven to be better than ahsoka in its entirety. i just know this to be true

SNW drabbles

Little is as little does

They transported into the middle of a very animated lunch. Captain pike had replicated dinosaur shaped chicken nuggets and macaroni and cheese. Uhura half sat/half knelt on her chair and marched two of the dinos across her plate to attack the nuggets on Dr mbengas dish.

The doctor laughed then leaned over and whispered into the small girls ear. With a giggle she nodded and they both turned and led a small dinosaur army towards Lt ortegas plate. The pilot sat on uhuras other side and had been building an impassible moat out of the cheesy noodles. But alas, her nuggies did not stand a chance.

Chapel smiled and quickly charged forward. She plopped onto the empty chair next to spock. The captain was on the boys other side, trying to get him to eat. The small child sat with his arms crossed and stared at his plate as if personally offended by it.

“Spock,” nurse chapel said with a smile. “Why aren’t you eating?”

“Because,” spock said.

Chapel waited. “Because why?”

“I don’t like it,” came the small reply.

Chapel raised an eyebrow. “Have you tried it?”

Spock frowned. The captain huffed a wounded sigh. “No he hasn’t.” He somehow managed to make it sound like this hadn’t devastated him.

Chapel hid a smile at the captains obvious distress and turned squarely to spock. She bent down. “Is it because you are too afraid of melted cheese to even try it?”

Spock drew back slightly. His eyes narrowed. “No,” he said sullenly.

“Then prove it,” chapel said as she filled her own plate and took a bite of the macaroni, making sure spock saw her.

The little boy pinched his lips. But after a moment he reached out and scooped up a tiny bite and put it reluctantly in his mouth. His eyes widened. He looked from chapel to the captain. He quickly took several more spoonfuls.

The captain smiled triumphantly up to chapel and nodded his thanks.

Una still held little la’an in front of her, with the girls head on her chest. She turned slightly so la’an could see the others gathered around the large table. There was a spot for them at the end, close enough to be included but far enough away that la’an hopefully wasn’t overwhelmed.

Una sat and just let la’an get acclimated to things. She rubbed her back and smiled at tiny uhura and spock. The three miniature crewmembers really were almost too adorable to handle.

After several minutes, she caught chapels eye who dished up a plate of dino nuggets. She leaned over and carefully set it in front of una.

Una smiled her thanks then placed her hands gently on la’ans shoulders. “Time to eat, sweet pea.” At first the little girl resisted when una tried to sit her up. But then she lifted her head and her dark eyes seemed to spear into unas soul.

“Time to eat,” she said again gently. The little girl stayed stiff as una carefully rearranged her so she was sitting facing forward in unas lap. She wrapped one arm snugly around la’ans waist and rubbed reassuringly at a tiny leg.

When the girl was something other than completely tensed, una slid the plate of food close. la’an hesitated, almost as if she wasn’t sure what to do. So una picked up a chicken nugget and placed it in tiny fingers. Then she grabbed another and took a bite, showing la’an how good it was.

The little girl hesitated. Then she brought the food to her mouth and took the teeniest bite. Una couldn’t tell if she liked it or not. She took another miniscule bite and chewed it much longer than necessary. She slowly bit every appendage and uneven end of the dinosaur nugget. Then she patiently started in on the main body. It took several minutes to finish just the one.

Una discreetly watched la’an eat. It was almost as if the girl was trying to savor every morsal, to make it last as long as possible. To make that one chicken nugget satisfy her for…an hour? A day? A week?

Unas lips thinned and she brought the plate closer. She handed the tiny girl another nugget. “Here, la’an. Eat,” she instructed gently. “East as much as you want. There is more. There will always be more.” Una flashed back to her time with la’an on the King Jr and how the girl had squirreled food away and carried it, hidden on her person, at all times. Just in case.

Una blew out a calming breath and kissed the top of la’ans head. The little girl leaned back against her chest in response. Chapel saw this and couldn’t hide her smile. Not that she really tried though. She leaned over with a bowl of macaroni and cheese and pushed it carefully towards la’an. “Do you want some?” she asked staring into those deep, dark eyes.

La’an considered her a moment, eyes flicking to the pasta. Then she nodded and waited until chapels hands receded before she pulled the bowl closer. Much like spock, her eyes widened and she nearly smiled. Una hid her own smile behind another chicken nugget.
