The cover art for "They Were Bunkmates: A Marinler Fanzine- Volume 3" 2026.

Front cover (left):

ART by  Orchi: An illustration with blue, purple and pink palette- the colors of a bisexual flag, loosely inspired by  George Barbier’s iconic 1925 Art deco illustration "Le Feu" (Fire) published in Falbalas et Fanfreluches, Almanach des Modes.

Lieutenants Beckett Mariner and Brad Boimler are sitting on the wide railing of a balcony. They are both wearing the ceremonial while uniform lined with gold. Mariner is [partially laying on Boimler, resting her left  arm in his lap. Boimler is cupping her head in his left hand.

In her right hand, Beckett is holding a salmon pink alien flower, which she is caressing Brad’s face with. He’s holding her hand in his and smiling at her. Beckett is whispering something to him.

Underneath them, on the  railing is a see through sheet of sparkly  pink Andorian silk. On the right side of the frame, next to where the railing ends, is a block with a giant flower pot on it. The pot has a white Calla Lilly like plant, with pink and blue leaves. The vase is white, with golden handles, rim and bottom. The railing, floor tiles, the block are also white, but lined with gold emblems. It is night time, and the dark blue sky behind them is lit by purple and red fireworks

Middle Spine: A purple art deco frame surrounded by dark blue background of a starry sky, the frame contents "They Were Bunkmates- A Marinler Fanzine" in fancy white lettering. Art by Ray Daly. 

Back cover: (right)
ART by Foodcu-be: An Archie-comics style illustration of Mariner kissing Boimler on the cheek. Mariner has her eyes closed and is smiling. Boimler has one visible arm up in the air while he is dizzy and blushing. Floating around them cartoonishly are T’lyn, Rutherford, and Tendi. Rutherford is without his implant. There is a blue header across the top. The title reads “THEY WERE BUNKMATES #3” in red with a white stroke. In the comics corner box is a moopsy.

There are four art pieces featured from cigaradd, foodcu-be, orchi, and beans1981. There is a fan-fiction snippet from the unreleased fic "Two Little Words" by BirdsofRhiannon.

Cover for "They were Bunkmates- A Marinler Fanzine" #1 (2023) by Ray Daly. Ensigns Beckett Mariner and Brad Boimler are in their bunks, wearing their standard uniform. Boimler is sitting in the bottom bunk, and supporting Mariner's knee with his right hand, who's lying on her stomach in the top bunk and shoving her right leg outwards. She's ruffling his hair with a mischievous look on her face. They are both smiling. The background is lined with deep black space with stars, and the title sticks out, written in blue font in the style of TNG

Front cover for "They were bunkmates: A Marinler Fanzine" #2 by Salty Duane: An illustration in which the characters are posed like the 1948 Bernard D'Andrea commercial painting "The Mating Call". Mariner and Boimler stand in front of their bunks in the lower decks sleeping quarters. Mariner in holding a TOS communicator, which is a reference to the original illustration where the woman is holding a phone. Boimler has his arms around her and they are looking at each other an smiling. In the background, Tendi and Rutherford's heads can be seen peaking out around a corner from the hallway. They are watching Mariner and Boimler.

Two panel redraw of a scene from Star Trek: Lower Decks 5x09 "Fissure Quest." Top panel shows Alternate Mariner in her operations gold uniform, looking to the left with a big grin. The speech bubble beside her reads, "What's with the look?" in all caps. 

Bottom panel shows William Boimler looking to the right with a tender smile and furrowed brows. The speech bubble beside him reads, "Nothing—it's just really nice having you here." in all caps. 

The background shows a quantum rift, with a straight line going through it that acts as a divider for the two panels.

Another #Valentine'sDay post because it's not complete without Trek. This was the first original retro poster I did for last year's #StarTrekLowerDecks #marinler zine. The zine is freely available at bit.ly/marinler25 .The donations go to pcrf.net #StarTrek #BeckettMariner #BradBoimler #lowerdecks
A Starfleet promotional poster painted in the style of retro painted tourism posters. The poster features Lieutenants Beckett  Mariner and Brad Boimler and a town square in Bajor.

They are holding an open paper map, Mariner with her right hand and Boimler with his left. Mariner is pulling Boimler into a kiss by grabbing the back of his neck with her left hand. Boimler seems slightly surprised but reciprocating. They both have light blue duffel bags with Starfleet insignia printed on the side hanging from their shoulders, Boiler is gripping the strip of his with his right hand.

They are standing in an old town square featuring a waterbody / fountain with a tall obelisk standing in the middle of it. The rest features domed buildings, arched doorways and bridges, all in the color of yellow sandstone, covered in lush creepers. There are several tall trees. The square is full of Bajoran pigeons, who happen to look like early earth birds, with finger-like appendages attached to their wings. They have slight blue and white feathers and bright orange beaks and feet.

The poster reads “Take your shore leave” (slightly slanted, written in cursive, blue with slight orange highlights) “on Bajor” (both in orange, “Bajor” is written in large block letters at the center of the image).The bottom left has a small sign saying “Bajor tourism project”. he entire poster has a blood orange border. The bottom border has “In association with Starfleet” written in tiny white fonts.

Here's the spread I did for last year's #StarTrekLowerDecks Mariner/Boimler fanzine! It's available at bit.ly/marinler25. All donations go to pcrf.net ❤️💜 #StarTrek #LowerDecks #BeckettMariner #BradBoimler #zine
A 6-panel comic titled ‘First Officers.’ The first panel shows Brad, Ransom, and Beckett sitting on the bridge. A narrative caption in Ransom’s point of view reads: ‘Personal log, 59582.5. It’s been months since Mariner and Boimler have been promoted to first officers... and neither one has come forward about their hush-hush relationship. It’s like they aren’t even dating at all!’
The second panel shows Ransom speaking. A speech bubble says: ‘I fold. You two hide your relationship good. Kudos.’
The third panel shows Becket and Brad standing in front of Ransom, looking shocked and weirded out. Beckett says, ‘Nope! Hell no!’ Brad says, “Uhh, no, sir!”
The fourth panel shows Ransom’s face again, framed by Brad and Beckett standing in front of him. Ransom has his hands up, and is grinning. He says, “Woah, settle down... flings are fine by this captain. Besides, I know a thing or two about first officer lovers...”
Fifth panel: a close up of Beckett’s face, wearing an expression of revulsion. There is no text, but it invokes the word, “EUGH.”
Sixth Panel: Beckett and Brad on an alien planet, both looking thoughtful and uncomfortable. A narrative caption in Beckett’s point of view reads: ‘Since Ransom’s stupid joke on the bridge, every mission with Boims has been so damn awkward!. What the %#*@ is Ransom’s problem? Why would he say that?!’.
End imageA seven-panel continuation of the comic from the previous page. 
Panel one: Beckett in her nightgown, staring into a mirror. A narrative caption reads, “We’re best friends. Basically Kirk and Spock of the 2380s...” In the reader’s voice of the Lower Decks comic, “Warp Your Own Way.” It says, ‘Kirk and Spock?’ A thought bubble coming from Beckett says, ‘Yeah! Those two were T’hy’la!” 
Panel two: Beckett looking introspective. The reader’s voice narrative caption says, ‘You know, Mariner, historians debate the nature of their friendship a lot...’ 
Third panel: Becket slams her hand against the mirror and says, “Kirk was a free-spirit that preferred alien babes!” The reader-voice caption says, ‘touchy subject, I see.’ Beckett insists, ‘He didn’t want his best friend!’ A second reader-voice narrative caption says, ‘Forget I mentioned it.. At the end of the day, you’re not Kirk.’ 
Fourth Panel: Beckett turning away from the mirror, looking angry. A reader-voice narrative caption reads, ‘You’re Mariner. What do you want?’ Below is a LCARS-style Choose Your Own Adventure. The left says, ‘Try to Answer: Follow Left Panel.’ The right says, ‘Don’t Answer: Follow Right Panel.”
Following the right panel leads to the fifth panel of the comic. It shows Beckett marching out of the room, making a sarcastic vulcan salute. A spiky speech bubble reads, ‘Stow it, asshole!’ A caption reads ‘The End.’
