Coming Soon to AO3: the Sisko'Brien Salamanders AU!

I could not go another day without making this post. Because I intend to start posting this fic as soon as it's no longer November in Australia.

A few months ago, I was on my friend @kintatsujo's Discord server, telling her and my other friends on there, quite earnestly, that I believed I was incapable of writing Sci-fi, and was particularly nervous about writing for any Star Trek series, because the fandom was big and old and intimidating, and I was a Fantasy writer! I couldn't possibly get all the technical stuff right!

And then I started nattering on about my ideas for a Star Trek series that I'd had floating in my head for about thirteen years, and as I was doing so, I started looking stuff up on the wiki, made a couple posts, absolutely trawled the blog of someone who reblogged one of those posts, found a Deep Space 9-themed Discord server (and about a dozen new friends!), and started having plot tribbles populate my brain, all squealing excitedly at being allowed to run wild.

And one of those ideas was sparked by this post, which I found on that days-long blog trawl I mentioned, and which delighted me so much that I started imagining some of the scenes. And then imagining the fallout. And then having my own ideas about how it would all pan out, and I knew this story was a keeper.

The important points from the post that set my brain off, in case you don't wanna click through:

Benjamin Sisko wouldn't abandon his salamander babies if he ever went through a Threshold scenario (as in the episode of Star Trek: Voyager for the uninitiated).

Since this is a human-specific mutation, the other parent would have to be one of the other human cast

DS9's Threshold is clearly an O'Brien-must-suffer episode.

The very idea of this happening was hilarious to me, so in hindsight I shouldn't have been all that surprised the plot tribble moved in and started breeding like mad.

I let the idea stew throughout October, and have been writing for the AU all month. And I've written about 30k for it so far! Not all of it's for the main/initial fic laying a great deal of the groundwork/surrounding the events within the post (but with my own twists on some of the ideas because I was imagining the characters' reactions as I saw them and they flowed better than the comments in the post), but I do have six chapters almost ready to go, and will probably keep writing stuff after NaNo because I wanna tell this story! The rest of what I've written is for the pre/conquel I started when I decided we needed to explore Sisko and O'Brien's experiences while mutated (and that is going to be a fun fic!), and the sequel! Because once I established some stuff about the babies (like their names and personalities), they wanted to be doing things! And those things might have widespread impacts, but I will not go into details because that's for when the sequel fic goes up! Which it isn't until I finish posting the Main/original fic!

Milestone will be coming to AO3 on the 1st of December Australian time, and I wanted to let people know it was gonna happen. I'm so excited to start sharing this with the fandom!

@reginaldbroccoli @laurelhach @vermin-disciple @apolesen I am tagging you specifically to thank you for combining your efforts to create the post that made this story possible, and also to let you know someone is writing the thing. And I hope at least some of you will be interested in reading it and won't mind that I couldn't wait until next Threshold Day to begin posting said thing.

Can’t believe that I posted something in English. Especially something I wrote at 2am and that belongs to the multi-crossover universe I’ve started writing in 2015.

Sooo I’m working on a personal project that will hopefully eventually become a webcomic. Today I managed to crash into a lot of character attributes for one of the secondaries.

I introduce you to A Crash Course In Neil Donovan (last name pending):

Just for a quick rundown, he/him and he’s the token straight guy of the crew. Also the token male human, the only other one is a stuffed animal/witch’s familiar.

He’s a vampire hunter (meaning he spends a lot of time in the woods with a tranq gun and pops garlic cloves like candy).

voted Most Likely To Wear A Swimsuit To A House Party Because He Thinks There Might Be A Pool There 2010.

Frequently hitchhikes under the rationalization that he’s “dealt with meaner”. Hitchhiking out to the middle of the country side is fairly easy, hitchhiking back with what looks like an unconscious, bloody human less so.

Has a fraternal twin (and is absolutely the younger of the two). Twin (Anders (name pending), also known as Trip or Triple A due to both being the only member of the friend group to own a car, and being agender, asexual, and aromantic) specializes in not being their brother’s keeper and deadpan snark that can drop a moose at 20 yards. They host an informational podcast.

Dated three (3) girls in highschool who realized they were lesbians while dating him.

Frequently starts fights by pushing peoples buttons. Most frequently by insisting it’s pronounced “expresso” while in a Starbucks until the fellow customer he’s talking to gets frustrated enough to take a swing and it’s a legally defensible tussle.

Also, is a government employee as a vampire hunter, but dislikes the government so revels in being that kind of bad publicity.

Has converted an entire room of his apartment into a guinea pig paradise and has like 4 exceptionally fat and happy tribbles.

The type of person who forgets to pay his phone bill for 4 months and doesn’t notice no one’s calling him for an additional 3 weeks after it’s shut off.

Frequently wears shirts he drew the design on himself with a sharpie, featuring slogans like, “Have you ever thought about dogs? Do they exist?” and, “EXiSTENT” written in multiple directions dozens of times.

Is like 27 years old

Also wears convertible jeans you unzip at the knee to turn into shorts.

Never gives anyone permission to enter his apartment, just turns the lock and greets whoever’s out there, cause vamps still have to be invited in in this universe. Even if they weasel their way past the door, there’s them getting stuck counting the bead curtain immediately after.

“Hey sounds super fun but I’m gonna take a nap first”

Peacocks around if he ends up with any visible bruises or injuries he may acquire, even if they were less because a vamp tried to kill him than a 40 year old redfaced grammarian getting way too worked up over the pronunciation of “library”.

#idk #just thought up a lot of shit about ol' neil and wanted to get it written down #I need to draw my main character and get her stuff down bc she's the best and has pet leeches and decorates her place with fake flowers #and also animal skulls #bc she's a witch and collects roadkill for the skeletons bc there is totally spells that require bonemeal and she prefers to source it herse #lf bc then she knows nothing got hurt specifically for it
