AU

30minuteloop:

@somerandomchoice and I brainstormed the hell out of an AU where the Discovery characters are in the Deep Space Nine storyline. I haven’t been writing much lately but I am so so so into it. Just imagine: Paul and Hugh on DS9, Paul as a civilian scientist attached to a Bajoran university (who never joins Starfleet), Hugh as the second-in-command in the infirmary (he should be running the place, you know, but getting posted on a station anywhere was the only way he and Paul could be together, and Bashir needed the help). Many other Disco favorites are on a science ship that regularly works in the area, headed by Captain Burnham. (Personally I would be fine if Lorca doesn’t exist in this AU at all.)

Can’t you just imagine Paul and Nerys teaming up to chew out Dukat for some BS? Or Hugh attempting to rein in his overenthusiastic puppy boss with a penchant for pining after unavailable women? What would Hugh and Paul think about the interaction between Bashir and Garak?

SO MANY POSSIBILITIES

Here is the first draft of the first scene of what might be a story, I dunno. It takes place prior to S3E6, The Abandoned:
