spacefungusparty's Disco Hiatus Exchange, so I can announce that I wrote...
The Weight of Your Bones (2028 words) by LizBee
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Star Trek: Discovery
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Michael Burnham/Katrina Cornwell
Characters: Katrina Cornwell, Michael Burnham
Summary: This is a terrible idea, Kat is thinking, but it's a long way from the worst one she's had lately. Michael and Katrina, after the war.
I wasn't even remotely stealthy in this allegedly anonymous exchange -- I think at one point, I used the exact same phrasing in the fic and in a conversation with my recipient,![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
nenya_kanadka. nonelvis left a comment saying, "I love the way you write Kat" ... a week before reveals.
(I also did all the match-ups for the swap -- but don't think I made it easy for myself! I had putnenya_kanadka in a mental box marked Lorca/Cornwell shippers, and was going to write "undercover fake marriage" fic -- only to realise she isn't a Lorca fan, and only cares about the pairing inasmuch as it relates to Kat. Luckily, canon gave us Michael visiting Kat in the middle of the night, spawning a brand new f/f pairing in less than thirty seconds.)
Still on matters Trekkish, over on my blog, I revisit the TNG episode "The Drumhead" and conclude that, while it's still a powerful episode, and depressingly relevant in 2018, there's a lot of sexism in how it handles Norah Satie, and also I do not believe Starfleet is applying best practices to its internal investigations department.
(Apparently my new hobby is Defending The Female Admirals We're Meant To Hate; I guess next up is Alynna Necheyev, if I can stomach another viewing of "Journey's End".)
