OK, so point the first: can we have a thousand fics where Scotty is always threatening to quit and Kirk learned his lesson this first time so new crew members panic hilariously every time it happens in the future but there is never any danger of Kirk accepting Scotty\u2019s resignation ever again? And Scotty can use it on anything\u2014from actual ethical showdowns to \u201cI will not work on a ship that does not have three-ply toilet paper\u201d\u2014and Kirk will never do anything but roll his eyes in the future, maybe splutter a little bit in futile rage. And Scotty will<\/em> use this in the future\u2014all the fucking time\u2014because Captain Tight Pants Perfect Hair deserves every second of it as far as he\u2019s concerned.<\/p>\n

Point the second: how much do we all love that Scotty and Kirk have to negotiate when and how one accepts\/offers a resignation but Scotty and his life partner are 100% on the same page on this issue? And the dude doesn\u2019t even, like, argue<\/em>. He\u2019s just like, \u201coh, whoops, sorry, is it time for my resignation letter now? Because I have it. It\u2019s right here.\u201d (PS: I am shipping these two SO HARD now. SO. HARD.)<\/p>\n

Point the third: I want to see 10000% more instances of the clothes Scotty wears on shore leave. I want to see all the Hawaiian shirts, all the neon ties, everything<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Point the fourth: I want to see Scotty treat his communicator like a phone all the time. I want him to cover the mouthpiece\u2014ineffectively\u2014on away missions and while grumbling about Kirk and while eating dinner and while finishing off an argument with life partner dude about how much Scotch is a wise decision. I have always loved how all the inappropriate phone social conventions turn up with the communicators. I bet Scotty would totes save photos to his communicator and be projecting holographic renderings of his kids to diplomats in his old age as they smile politely and hope desperately that he hasn\u2019t managed to add more memory for more photos on his (spoilers: he has) and that the photo stream will end soon (spoilers: it won\u2019t). I bet he has invented horribly annoying games with lots of loud annoying music to play on his communicator when he\u2019s bored on away missions.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
