A suggestion: the collated meta post

[mekare]

Sooo, just before we all get pushed into abyss (or not?) by the finale, here’s something that came to me while going through the hundreds of comments in the episode discussion posts. There’s been some excellent meta linked and written by you awesome guys and I think it would help during the hiatus to make it all more accessible for ourselves and people coming to this comm later. Someone mentioned this was the norm in LJ days (which I never experienced) so please put your linked meta posts in the comments! ( Meta list this way )

Discovery 1x15: Will You Take My Hand?

[rivendellrose]

A brief warning for those of you who sometimes venture onto Twitter: be aware that a large number of cast and crew are live-tweeting the finale tonight, so there will be spoilers all over many people's feeds. Take care!

And now that I've got that out of the way, here is your episode discussion post for Discovery 1x15: “Will You Take My Hand?”

As always, there will be spoilers in comments! I'll be back later this evening to join in the party once I've had a chance to watch the episode (and then possibly flail and/or cry for a while, depending on how things go), and will add some discussion starters or other remarks behind a cut once I feel I can put words together in a semi-coherent way.

It's been fantastic sharing the first season with you all, and I really appreciate having this community to discuss, share, and generally flail with. I hope we'll have lots more to share during the hiatus (which with any luck won't be too terribly long!).

See you on the other side. ♥

Slipping in under the wire before the finale. :D

Title: Chameleon
Author: nenya_kanadka
Fandom: Star Trek: Discovery
Wordcount: 2958 words
Rating: Explicit
Characters: Mirror Philippa Georgiou, Katrina Cornwell
Pairings: Katrina Cornwell/Mirror Philippa Georgiou, Katrina Cornwell/Philippa Georgiou (past)
Warnings: Bad Decision Theatre Vol II: Electric Boogaloo; rough sex; references to offscreen canon death/war; characterization through porn is an antient tradition of my people
Notes: Sequel to Terrible As An Army With Banners. Spoilers for 1x14 The War Without, The War Within. Afsaneh Farzan is a fanon name for this character.
Summary: There's something indefinably wrong in seeing Philippa's body in Philippa's clothing moving like the Emperor.

Because of Michelle Yeoh's face, and magnetgirl's Kat meta last week: She’s lost so much and everything she gets back is twisted. Dedicated to Transporter Tech 1 and the many secrets he carries.
