Last week we shared a Lucifer fanfic, and this week we are back with our next recommendation. This one comes from anon1126 at fanfiction.net. The fandom is Star Trek: Discovery, based in season 1 around the Lorca twist. Chapter one is below with the rest of the story available with a single click here. We have some stories lined up for the coming weeks, but if you have one of you own, or one you just love, share it with us on social media!

Chapter 1

“Gabriel, where are we?” Aadya asked as she caught her breath and tried to look around and gather her bearings.

Gabriel sat up, dusting himself off as he looked at the wreckage all around them, while reaching for her hand, “It looks like a starship but not the one we were on just moments ago,” he replied and added, “We need to keep moving.”

Aadya took his hand and stood before following him through the ship’s remains to find an answer as to where they were.  Lorca moved toward the wall, something grabbing his attention, “Aadi,” only he called her that, he said so she would look, “This is the Buran but what could have done this?”

Aadya shook her head, attempting to analyze the scene, “You’ve been investigating the spores with Stamets, haven’t you?” she finally asked after they stood in silence, each mulling over the logical possibilities for their situation.  

Gabriel raised an eyebrow, intrigued, “What are you thinking?”

“I think we’ve somehow ended up in a parallel universe to our own but not ours,” she said outloud, anxiety within her heightening with each breath she took, “If that’s the case, I have no idea how we get back or what we do here,” she revealed.

Lorca reached out and placed his hand comfortingly on her upper arm, “Babe, we’ll figure it out.  We’ve been against worse odds then this,” he tried to get a smile out of her, “Help me find a computer.”

“Why?” she asked reaching up to place her hand on top of his.

He grinned, only half his lips, “If we can find a database of this world then we can assimilate into our counterparts lives until we find a way to get back home,” he explained, looking into her eyes while his own were overwhelmed with concern over her state of panic, “We’re going to figure this out.”

She nodded back, weakly, “I know…I just wish I knew what kind of world this was but we’re about to find out and once we do, I think I’ll feel better,” she forced a smile as he trailed his hand down her arm until he had her hand and they walked through the ship’s corridors together, in search of answers.

Aadya followed Gabriel until they reached a cabin, not completely destroyed in whatever happened.  They walked through the permanently sliding doors and straight to the computer where Gabriel typed their names in.

Once he finished reading, he failed to suppress a tiny smile from curling across his lips.  “What are you smiling about?” Aadya asked, shaking her head in her own lack of amusement.

“Our counterparts are very similar to us,” he began as he turned the screen where she could see it, “Gabriel Lorca is the captain of the Buran and Aadya Ardra served Lorca as his Chief of Security and wife.”

Aadya rolled her eyes, “I guess I have to give your proposal a more serious thought, don’t I?  So, what do we do? Reach out to their Starfleet with a distress call that everyone is dead but we survived?”

“You need to accept my proposal,” he began as he stood back up and placed a kiss on the top of her head, “And, yes I believe that is exactly what we should do.  Are you ready to play the role of my wife for this mission until we get home and I can make you my true wife?” his grin led on how much he was truly enjoying this situation as many negatives as there were before them.

Aadya ran her hand over his shoulder and down his arm where she placed a playful pinch, “Why yes, Husband,” she added extra sweetness to her tone, “Make the distress call, Dear.”

“This is going to be a lot of fun,” he replied, reaching for her hand before he made the first move in their new life.
