Culmets

Culmets is the slash ship between Hugh Culber and Paul Stamets from the Star Trek fandom.

Fanon
Star Trek fans had been waiting to see LGBT character for years within the franchise. Many were excited that there would be a character who was gay, although some fans argued that they didn't want the franchise "pushing an agenda", despite it being representative of minorities in every iterations. Fans who wanted it however, did have problems with the only show in the franchise that had LGBT characters, being on a streaming service that not everyone had access too.

Despite it being the number one ship in the Star Trek: Discovery tag, it took almost till the midseason finale, for it to become an official tag, despite even at the time, having more written about it than any other ship. Many fans where disappointed at this, as they had to use different means of finding works on the site. It is the most written ship for both characters and the most written in the Star Trek: Discovery tag.
