Dear Space Swap Writer
Hi, thanks for writing for me! I hope this letter is useful.

Fandoms:
Stargate SG-1 (Sam/Janet)
I love Sam, and her relationship with Janet is one of my favourites. I could easily see their friendship leading to more, and I really like how they support each other in canon, and how Sam's kind of like a second mother to Cassandra. I also love how they interact with the rest of SG-1, so feel free to include them if you'd like. (Background Jack/Daniel is also fine.)
Prompts:
Fandom-specific DNWs: Any mention of Sam/Jack.

Star Trek Discovery (Pike/Ash, Pike & Number One & Ash, Gabrielle Burnham's failed attempts to defeat Control)
Pike/Ash
I really like this pairing, and always want more fic for it. I love how Pike is such a genuinely good person, and how Ash is clearly damaged but still trying to do the right thing, even if he isn't always sure what that is. I also really love how the catalyst for them going from disliking and distrusting each other to basically friends is fighting a robotic squid from the future, and the potential bond formed by them being two of the only people left behind at the end. I'd love something set after Season 2 with Pike back on the Enterprise and Ash working on rebuilding Section 31, but almost anything about them would make me happy.
Prompts:
Pike & Number One & Ash
I like the idea of the three of them bonding over the loss of Discovery and the resulting cover up. (I see Spock as not wanting to talk/think about it because it's too painful for him, but I'm fine with him being mentioned.) I also really like the idea of Number One and Ash each caring a lot about Pike and coming to care about each other as well. Gen/friendship fic would be great, but if you feel like combining this with the Pike/Ash request above please feel free.
Prompts:
Gabrielle Burnham's failed attempts to defeat Control
We only see the final version where she/they succeed, so I'd love to see some of the other versions where things don't go according to plan, and how she grows and learns and adjusts. I don't really have any specific prompts for this, I just like the idea of seeing all those alternate universes; what changes and what stays the same.
Fandom specific DNWs: References to Pike's fate in TOS or his knowledge of same (unless you're writing a fix-it), the Star Trek future being sexist/homophobic/racist/ableist, Pike/Vina as anything more than a brief mention.
Fandom specific note: While I've DNW'd noncon, mentions of Ash's canon trauma are fine. Also, for the fix-it prompts I'm more than fine with Pike still being injured or disabled in some ways, just as long as he can move and communicate and have a relatively normal life.

Star Trek TOS (Kirk & Saavik)
I love both these characters, and I'd like to see more of them interacting. They both care about Spock a lot, and I could see that forming a bond. I also like the idea of Kirk's time on Tarsus allowing him to empathise with her traumatic childhood in a way that Spock can't.
Prompts:
Fandom specific DNWs: Vulcans having a lower body temperature than humans, the Star Trek future being sexist/homophobic/racist/ableist.
Thanks again!

Prompts:
- Sam gets hurt on a mission and Janet looks after her.
- Sam travels to a universe where she and Janet are together (or a Janet from the same universe shows up in theirs) which leads to her rethinking some things.
- A rare day off with no catastrophes.
- One of them is ill and the other looks after them.
- Janet gets ill/injured and Sam has to look after her for once.
- Fix-it where Janet doesn't die or comes back from the dead.
- Negotiating a relationship under DADT.

Pike/Ash
I really like this pairing, and always want more fic for it. I love how Pike is such a genuinely good person, and how Ash is clearly damaged but still trying to do the right thing, even if he isn't always sure what that is. I also really love how the catalyst for them going from disliking and distrusting each other to basically friends is fighting a robotic squid from the future, and the potential bond formed by them being two of the only people left behind at the end. I'd love something set after Season 2 with Pike back on the Enterprise and Ash working on rebuilding Section 31, but almost anything about them would make me happy.
Prompts:
- Not all of the meetings between the head of Section 31 and the captain of the Enterprise are purely professional.
- One of them gets sick/injured on/before shore leave together, but they manage to make it work.
- Undercover on a mission together.
- Stranded on a planet together and trying to survive. (Especially if Pike gets hurt/ill and Ash has to take care of him.)
- Domestic fluff, either on shore leave or in the future.
- Ash has a nightmare/flashback, Pike offers comfort.
- AU - Ash brings Voq and L'Rell's son with him to Discovery instead of leaving him on Boreth. Turns out Pike is good with kids, even Klingon ones.
- Ash uses his Section 31 powers to heal Pike or otherwise save him from his fate.
- Ash teams up with Number One, Boyce, etc to rescue Pike from Talos post-The Menagerie.
- Any other kind of Pike-based fix-it, seriously I'm desperate.
Pike & Number One & Ash
I like the idea of the three of them bonding over the loss of Discovery and the resulting cover up. (I see Spock as not wanting to talk/think about it because it's too painful for him, but I'm fine with him being mentioned.) I also really like the idea of Number One and Ash each caring a lot about Pike and coming to care about each other as well. Gen/friendship fic would be great, but if you feel like combining this with the Pike/Ash request above please feel free.
Prompts:
- The three of them meet up for a drink on the anniversary of Discovery's "destruction".
- Section 31 requires the Enterprise's help with a mission - or vice versa.
- Pike gets ill/injured while the three of them are on a mission or stranded somewhere together, and Ash and Number One have to take care of him.
- Number One doesn't entirely trust Ash, until he does something to help/save Pike. (Especially if he gets hurt in the process.)
- Number One has reservations about Pike's interest in Ash, but once she gets to know him she ends up liking him.
- Ash and Number One team up to save Pike from Talos/his injuries, or keep him company while he recovers.

Prompts:
- Kid Saavik acts out/goes missing/etc and Kirk finds a way to connect with her.
- Kirk tries to get to know young Saavik after seeing how important she is to Spock.
- Kirk gives Saavik advice while she's at the academy.
- Comforting each other after Spock or David's death.
- Saavik comes to Kirk for advice about dating a human. (Saavik/OFC preferred.)
- If you're up for Kirk/Spock, Saavik finding out about them, or spending time with them as a couple.
