"What is this human emotion called CACKLING WITH GLEE?"

[lizbee]

1. Eight stills from "The War Within, The War Without", mostly relevant to my interests.

2.



I can only assume that Sarek's expression is one of, "How dare she say I'm a bad dad? I'm an AMAZING dad! Just ask the only one of my three children currently speaking to me! At least, I think she's currently speaking to me. Anyway, Georgiou's an unemployed despot, what would she know about parenting?"

Meanwhile, Michael is making a mental note to find out whether it's legal for Philippa and Kat to adopt her together, and Kat is marvelling that Michael managed to pass as a functional human being* long enough to become Starfleet's first mutineer, and also wondering if ex-Emperor Georgiou is single and what would be the ideal first date to impress a deposed tyrant.

* More or less.

(Note that Sarek and Michael have the same body language here. BECAUSE THEY'RE FAMILY.)

(I don't see #leathersarek replacing #leatherlorca any time soon, but points for trying, I guess.)

Yep, suddenly shipping Kat (at least this time she knows she's sleeping with someone from the MU) and Philippa (all her partners have had trust issues, no big).

[lizbee]

Philippa might appreciate the novelty of a lover who wouldn't even dream of assassinating her!

Or she might find it unbearably dull, who knows? The important thing is that "Hey, so the guy who lied to you, slept with you and abandoned you to the Klingons? I totally stabbed him through the heart and kicked him out a trapdoor to be disintegrated in a mycelial energy field" is a really impressive ice breaker.

[tellitslant]

This is SO TRUE. It definitely deserves rewarding. And as we are delightfully aware, Philippa is very flexible.

[lizbee]

Flexible physically, morally, and in how she takes payment for her services as a consultant to Federations badly in need of strategic assistance.

[tellitslant]

A whole selection of fantastic qualities.

(Oh, god, I kind of want to write it now.)

(My new hobby is encouraging my friends to turn their vague Disco fic ideas into actual fic, so I say GO FOR IT.)

WHAT IF THIS IS THE YEAR IN WHICH I AGAIN WRITE IN MORE THAN ONE FANDOM OUTSIDE FICATHONS

WHAT IF, LIZ

(Philippa, deposed emperor, looking for the highest ranking officer to be of use to, and Kat, not quite knowing how to admit what she felt hearing about Lorca's death...)

[lizbee]

(It's been a long time since Philippa had to be of use to anyone, and she suspects her usual methods would be considered inappropriate in this universe. But Kat went from a Klingon prison to overseeing a war she can't win; she's basically unshockable by this point.)

IT PRACTICALLY WRITES ITSELF, I'M JUST SAYING.

*slips in*

I wrote some! (See AO3 or spacefungusparty but YES please you should write it. *seduces people to the cause, but possibly without as epic of leather pants as Emperor "Pippa" Georgiou*)
