the delphic expanse

Between rereading "Shakiak--The Director's Cut" for Delphie participation, and a femslash discussion occurring at another board, Honeybee and I were talking about what we thought might be another very plausible femslash 'ship: T'Pol and Cutler.

Both are scientists, and we were exploring the possibility that Cutler's interest in things Vulcan in "Strange New World" could be read as her nursing a girl-crush on T'Pol.

Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Yes, I certainly thought that if you wanted to put that kind of reading onto it, it would work! Cutler's obviously the open-minded sort, given her interest in Phlox.

Cutler could have been a good female friend for T'Pol, if T'Pol had been willing to fraternize with a subordinate. They worked well together trying to fix up Travis in 2D2N.

I wrote an episode rewrite for 2D2N where T'Pol goes down to Risa and is talked into joining Hoshi and Liz Cutler for drinks. It was actually a TnT story, but now that I think about it, that scene could easily be worked into something...different.

Going to give it a try?

Don't tempt me! I'm trying to get ready for the start of school. (We're old fashioned and start after Labor Day.) In fact, I should be working on the tedious task of scheduling three sixth grade classes right now.

But maybe Mistress Euclid could make T'Pol/Cutler happen in the Girls' Club.

Well, you could certainly give it a try the next time you get a break? That's the cool thing about fanfic. It requires no refrigeration, it doesn't go bad sitting on the shelf.
