lizbee(I nearly said "victim".)
I couldn't decide if I want fic, art or a vid, so I decided to make a reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally wide-ranging request for a fic, just in case you can't draw or vid (or just don't wanna) and need options.
1. Fic
Characters: Michael, Philippa, Lorca, Ash, Kat, Sarek, Amanda
Pairings: Lorca/Cornwell; Philippa Georgiou/literally any of the senior officer characters or Sarek and Amanda; not at all averse to Lorca/Cornwell/Michael-or-Philippa or Ash; I am totally open to being persuaded on Cornwell/Terral (or Cornwell/Lorca/Terral); Cornwell/Pike or Cornwell/Lorca/Pike. I have no objection at all to Lorca/Landry as a messed-up background thing. Plotty, character-driven gen is also great.
Other notes:
Kat Cornwell is my very favourite, but I also adore everyone else I've checked. I like fic that grapples with the power and rank gaps which make these relationships problematic; and I like het that isn't heteronormative. I like Lorca/Ash, but I generally prefer het and f/f to m/m, and am absolutely open to the fucked up dynamics of adding Kat or Michael to that pairing.
Expanding on that:
I mean, more than anything else, I'd love Kat fic, but I'm quite open to the form it takes. (Fic about Kat mentoring Michael and Ash, stealing Lorca's protégés out from under his nose? *kisses fingertips*)
I'm not huuuuuuuuugely into "Lorca is a Mirror Universe infiltrator" theories, but if you want to tell that story, I say go big or go home: promotion by assassination, officers have their own personal spies, captains have concubines, everyone has a goatee and/or a pair of thigh high boots in their wardrobe. (I mean, the goatee probably doesn't live in the wardrobe. Unless you think it should. Surprise me!)
I am quite into the idea of Kat having a love interest who doesn't send her off to be captured and tortured (even though I also think she went into that with her eyes open and would do it all over again). Hence my suggestion of Kat/Greenwood!Pike, who'd be roughly her age. If you can combine Greenwood with the more thoughtful, introspective version played by Jeffrey Hunter, that would be amazing.
2. Art
I selected aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaall the women for this, and also added "all the Trek women", because why not? I also wrote, "If you can draw, I would totally love portraits of Disco/other Trek ladies, or Cornwell/Lorca art, or ... you know, pretty much any female-centred art."
Simple, right? Right?
3. A vid
Oooh, challenging! Basically I'm the world's slowest vidder, but the show is so pretty that I need something in my eyeballs. Gen/canon ships are fine, and I'm more than happy for Michael "future queen of the universe" to be the focal point. I mean, she's only the protagonist, right?
Most of my "other" requests were about song choice:
"I like epic and/or dark pop, electronica optional but welcome, and I like vids with great timing and no talky face.
If someone wanted to be REALLY CHEEKY (I mean, um, intertextual) and do a Disco vid to the BSG version of "All Along the Watchtower", or the Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles version of "Samson and Delilah", I'd probably love you forever.
(I know this is a big ask, that's why my fic request is so general!)"
Expanding on that:
I love vids, but I'm also kind of an asshole with no tolerance for talky face or visuals that aren't in some way connected to the beat and intensity of the music. (I mean, it's not really "kind of" in this case, I'm just an asshole.)
To get a better idea of my tastes, here's a handy link to a vid show I ran at a convention last year. I'm not even in the fandoms for some of these vids, I just think they're so well done.
Anywhozle, I hope this is in some way helpful, and if you have more questions or issues, leave an anon comment here.

I'll do it myself if I have to, but I've been clipping for three weeks and am only up to the bit where Michael first meets the Klingon in "The Vulcan Hello". It could take a while.
