Lookit, I got podficced! Twice!

Both cantarina1 and nickelmountain did lovely readings of my fic!

Also, that thing that everyone's been doing, because why not:

Give me a pairing and I will tell you:

1. What they most commonly do during sex
2. Who has prettier hair
3. What they argue about most often
4. Who'd cope best if the other one died
5. The happiest plausible happily-ever-after I can think of for them.

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.

Leurve this! Something about Deanna-the-occasional-dom puts a stupidly stupid smile on my face. And the happy ending is just right.

One item to dispute, though: number 3. CLEARLY, they are both on the 'yes, definitely, Captain-pranks, of course, what else would we do?' side of that debate. But perhaps you meant 'which pranks to play on the Captain'? ;)

(Icon represents flouncy-haired doctor not giving a frak what anyone thinks of her flouncy hair. It has its own forcefield. It's perfectly sterile.)

Awww, I dunno, I think Deanna would kind of like the idea, but because of her special insight into the captain, she knows how sadface he gets if people make him look silly and she doesn't want to br responsible for emo!Picard.

(Look, don't tell me, tell Pulaski! ;p)

It's true that maybe s2 Deanna does not so much want to upset the Captain – but by s7, she's let her snark flag fly and the Captain has let his sense of humor out of its cage. So I suspect much of abovementioned correspondence, at that point, details possible strategies for Captain-pwning.

(She just doesn't know about the forcefield, that's all.)

Hmm, this is true... and I love that idea!

OMG, that icon... that picture cracks me up every time I see it...
