I was hoping for this, and boingo! Fic or treat!

Light is on for: Anyone who feels like ringing the chime.

What's in the Bowl? Fic! You're likely to get a short(er) fic, anywhere from a drabble to something longer, depending on how the muse strikes and what it says. I'm also game to link folks to family-friendly critter videos if so desired, on the order of purrful cats or goofy retrievers.

Let Me Know: Fandom, pairing if so desired (I'm fine and more with gen or friendship too, for the record) and anything I should avoid. Current fandoms are Star Trek TOS (including Pike's captaincy and the Vulcan's Glory era), TNG, and DS9, Band of Brothers, Miraculous Ladybug (no spoilers beyond season 5, episode 9, please!), Dragonriders of Pern (Anne's work, not Todd's, sorry folks), Sapphire & Steel, Diane Duane's Young Wizards (I've read through GWP, but haven't gotten to the short stories yet), many an oldtime radio series (feel free to ask), and I'm up for writing queer and trans-friendly Harry Potter snippets.

Other info: I will not write dubcon/noncon, graphic animal harm (rescuing critters from harm is fine), humiliation/degradation, telepathic violation, major character death, or in the case of Pern, dragon loss. On the flip side, I love minor characters, subverting expectations and stereotypes, and worldbuilding that bolsters aspects of canon. I'm the girl who's got a whole series in progress about barely-seen Pernese characters and another featuring TOS's Yeoman Mears quite prominently, so! I do plan to post what I write to my AO3, and if you'd like your fic gifted to you over there, let me know your username and I'll happily oblige.

I'll bite... something about Mr Spock's inordinate fondness for cats and a stray kitten. Bonus points if you can work in the Enterprise's ship-girl concept.

As the door opens with a creak. :) What's in the - oh here we go!

Summary:

Fic Or Treat for Siliconshaman on DW. Sequel to Indelible Pawprints. Spock, his crewmates, and a persistently, confusingly charming kitten.

Kitty cuteness for you. It's a sequel to something I previously wrote, apologies. I thought you might appreciate Belle being adorable with the triumvirate.

[sarajayechan]

Trick or Treat! Cute kitty videos, please.

[chanter1944]

Trick or treat! :) How about a den of purring kittens in Vancouver, British Columbia. All these rescue kittens have since been adopted into excellent homes. Two of them stayed with the folks who fostered them initially!

[sarajayechan]

I saw this video years ago, thanks for reminding me of it! And the update was especially welcome, so glad to know the kitties have homes!

[chanter1944]

Whoops, didn't mean to drop a link on you that you'd already seen! Glad the update was welcome, though. :) How about a fluffy purry (ppssible ragdoll?) lap cat in Alaska! Oh my goodness what a sweetie. He's since been adopted, too.

[sarajayechan]

It's okay, I enjoyed seeing the babies again. But I appreciate the second one! :D Buddy looks precious, I'm so happy he got a forever home. Lucky owners!

[chanter1944]

So very agreed on all counts - the kittens are adorable, and Buddy seems like a total love whose people are so very, very lucky. <3 *Possible* ragdoll, I meant to type, by the way. Eesh!

[peasina]

Ooh hello neighbour 🚪🎃 Trick or Treat!

A fellow TNG fan here 🤝 I’d love a fic/drabble about Deanna and Data if you have one in you. They’re such a nice contrast as characters. I love how Deanna feels everything and Data feels nothing (or so he claims, haha) and anything involving their differences would make me very happy! Alternatively, something focusing on Deanna solo would be loved too as she’s my favourite ^^

Thank you so much for offering this! Happy spooky month 🐈‍⬛

Creeeeeak, goes the opening door. Let's see what's in the - aha.

I apologize if this seems silly; I didn't have a deeper interaction between these two - three! - in me. So you get amusing slice of life shenanigans and kitty cuteness. :) Hopefully you enjoy!

[peasina]

Oh my gosh, so cute! I've commented over on AO3 but wanted to thank you here too <3

[chanter1944]

Awwww, thank you very much! :D I was worried I'd gifted you the fic or treat equivalent of a blue airhead.

[xwyndx]

Hello, trick or treat!

Could I request a critter video please? Do you have anything with reptiles? Reptiles are cool. I also like birds. Cats are also fine, too, they're just more common but I like them.

Happy spooky season!

[chanter1944]

Happy spooky, quirky, October-y season! I couldn't find a suitable cute critter video with a reptile, but here's a sneezing echidna in Victoria, Australia. I still giggle at this one, I admit!

[thefruitbat]

Trick or treat! :)

I'd love to request a drabble/fic(let) in the DS9 fandom. Preferably Bashir/Garak. Something fluffy (or steamy, should the muse guide you this way - all ratings welcome) or maybe they attend a Halloween party together and Julian has to explain the customs and games?

My AO3 name is TheFruitBat

Thank you, and have a great spooky month!

Squeeeeeakity goes the opening door; I really need to oil that thing. Pretty sure there's a suitable treat in here - yep!

Summary:

Written for Fic Or Treat in 2025, with apologies for the title pun! Julian and Garak attend a Halloween party on the station. The results are... predictable, really.

Apologies for how silly this turned out. Garak and Julian are definitely being amperslashy, though!

[toothpastepancake]

Since you said you love minor characters, how about a drabble of a minor Trek character you like? I love hearing about people's unrecognized faves so pick anyone if you'd like! Some optional prompts: costumes, introspection, relaxation.

And if not, I'd love a cute critter video :)

[chanter1944]

Creeeeeakity, goes the opening door. That thing needs oiling pronto!

What have I got in the... ooh, here we go.

Summary:

Aboard the Enterprise, Mirasta Yale's hesitation at leaving Malcor still fails to exist when she looks for it. Her regrets, such as they are, are minuscule.

But she does have a few.

Apologies; I only realized after I'd written the fic that you said drabble. This came out much longer!

[kellan_the_tabby]

If you can make a crossover between Pern & Young Wizards make sense, I'd LOVE to see that.

If you can't think of a single damned way to do that, know that you're not alone in this.

(feel free to gift it to me; I just finally got round to changing my username over there: kellan underscore the underscore tabby, same as here)

Creeeeeeak, goes the squeaky door. What do I have for... ah.

Hello, neighbor! Could I have a fic of Garak making/being asked to make Halloween costumes for the kids (or adults!) on the station? My AO3 username is reeby10 :)

Double drabble, written for Fic Or Treat in 2025. "I trust you will enlighten me, dear doctor?" A certain Terran festival has hit the station. Poor Julian.

*giggles* I hope you enjoy! Just how risque or not the naughty nurse costume in Garak's commissions list is, I leave up to your imagination. XD
