Yeah, I've never been podficced before and two come along at once...
Gosh, that's a tricky one... ;)
1) They like to play with dominance and submission, because both of them are very in control in their professional lives, so it's fun to try other things. That's for special occasions, though. Most of their sex is of the thank-goodness-that-day-finally-ended variety. 2) Clearly Deanna. Except for that weird puffball hairstyle she had that time. Kate keeps hers short so that it doesn't get in the way when she's working, and she doesn't care whether it's pretty or not (although Deanna thinks it is). She likes Deanna's hair but she has views about doctors flouncing about with clouds of beautiful hair, making it difficult to keep everything sterile. ;) 3) Whether or not to play pranks on Picard. 4) Deanna has experience being bereaved and she's a psychologist, but she's also a member of the 'I'm fine!' school of dealing with feelings, so although she'd put up a better front of okay-ness, perhaps Kate would actually do a better job of working through it, because she doesn't lie, even to herself. In the end, though, they'd both get to a point where they could look back with fondness on the happy memories without the sad ones intruding too far. 5) After Kate leaves the ship, they keep up a regular correspondence, some of it just chatty, some of it loving, and some of it absolutely filthy. They miss one another but they realise that they want different things, so when they occasionally meet and have incredible sex, neither of them minds that it's a no-strings thing now, and their friendship is the more important part.
