Picard and Riker! :D (I couldn't resist! *lol*)

From:

(Dang, this is the hardest one... and not exactly the result I intended either, hmmm. Explains why writing this pairing is so hard for me!)

Maybe the best thing in Picard was that he had become a father figure without being The Father, his instructor without being The Teacher, his guiding mentor without trying to force him into a certain direction.

Oh, he wanted Riker to take a command, of course, but Riker felt strangely unwilling to leave the current position. And he was sure it had something to do with that man at his side, his captain. Here he had a home full of friends - but more important, a father that for once accepted him and his abilities. It was that acceptance that touched something deep inside of Riker, that made him want to do more for Picard and less for himself. Devotion was a cozy emotion, a warm embrace to a hurt soul hidden beneath a manly exterior. He'd once read that the rejection of a father was the hardest thing for a son, and if he fell into that psychologically damaged category, then be it so - onboard the Enterprise, he healed. And one day, he'd be ready to leave.

From:

It's beautiful IMO... I mean, Riker's father IS a jerk (I just want to slap him really hard whenever he opens his mouth) and he might really see Jean-Luc as the father he never had. :)

Picard/Riker is a bit hard to write at the beginning, that's true... the problem I often encounter is that they're both very strong personalities and that Jean-Luc has a hard time with this whole "Captain and officer" relationship - thingy.

From:

Yeah, but this father figure thing makes writing them harder, because it might keep RIKER from doing something, when I actually always thought that it's more of a Picard problem :) I just never really gave it an in-depth thought... *G*

From:

I've always had Riker take the first step in the few P/R fics I wrote (or I had Jean-Luc have a fever and so provide him with an excuse for his actions *LOL*)... the whole father figure thingy won't stop him, I think - it's Riker, after all, TNG's version of Kirk. *lol*

From:

it's Riker, after all, TNG's version of Kirk. *lol*

You got a point here ;) And yes, I think Riker would always be the one to start.

Which makes me wanna write it the other way round now, LOL!

From:

Yup, Jean-Luc would never say anything ~~(which makes him even more wonderful, of course)~~... Riker would practically have to FORCE him to admit his feelings.

Hehehe I'm looking forward to reading it! :D

Star Trek TOS, Enterprise/the shuttle gallileo (sp?) *evil grin*

From:

If she had a child, it would be this shuttle. It was the first, a tiny little piece of metal, barely big enough to travel through space all on its own. So vulnerable, and yet so powerful. Whenever it left the Enterprise' belly, she began waiting for its return. She was willing to do anything for the little one - and all those tiny, vulnerable beings inside - if she was allowed. When the shuttle finally came back, which it always did, her relief ran through the energy grids like a little wave. Only one man was able to feel the difference, but he just smiled and patted her hull. Other shuttles came and left, but the first one stayed forever - her child.

Kirk and McCoy?

From:

When he thought of Jim, the first thing that came to his mind was this incredible energy, the need to move on, move forward. An energy hard to control at times, pushing against boundaries and sometimes breaking through not for the better but the worse. But in those moments, the second quality set in; the ability to think fast and outside of the box. To collect opinions and then, in a surprising amalgamation, find a solution, no matter how unusual. It might include a daring trick, a dangerous draw in a chess game, or a big poker bluff. But he did it. Where McCoy tended to pull back, to hesitate, Jim was going boldly. McCoy might walk grudgingly behind him and even more grudgingly patch him up later, but he'd follow him to hell and back, anytime.

Awww, McCoy has a minor case of hero worship... it's an interesting look at the two! Makes me think that McCoy had his Jim!moment in Miri, when he injected the serum into himself.

but he'd follow him to hell and back, anytime

Rura Penthe, anyone? It's a good thing that pudgy Kirk could warm the then-very-thin McCoy ;-)

From:

Wheee!

Garak/Bashir.

From:

At first, it was that charming innocence. Or maybe, rather ignorance? The youthful face, the trustful eyes - the mouth, slightly opened when he listened. It didn't matter if the stories were truths or lies, or anything in between, as most of them were. Fairy tales of a Cardassian tailor, nothing real, everything layered. Then Bashir began to understand, and Garak loved him even more for it, for the true intelligence sparkling, the wisdom growing. But it was in those moments that Bashir's innocence came back, through all the experiences of the war, through all the grit he had to fight through, that Garak loved him the most. When the youthful, trustful expression returned, demanding a solution to things that were irreparable, craving salvation for men who were long beyond that. Hopelessly foolish. And impossible to resist.

From:

*sigh* Just beautiful.

O'Brien/Bashir?

If it's still all right to ask for one, that is. Also, I love the ones you've written so far.

From:

It's the resilience Bashir admires most in O'Brien. The resilience that makes the Chief work from top to bottom on an always-broken station, repairing the same corners over and over again, replacing the same conduits. Fixing misbehaving replicators and unwilling transporters, and nudging time in between for people that order him around and want to get everything done at once. And when O'Brien comes home, he needs just the same resilience for fixing the relationship, repairing broken communication, trying to make something work that is always bordering on breakdown, even if that meant bending his back. Once the Chief had committed to something, he'd see it through, endlessly loyal and without a major thought to himself, working the treadmill of self-imposed burdens day in, day out. And the only thing Bashir could do for him was to return the same level of loyalty, without adding to the burden.

From:

The more I read O'B/B, the more I like it. I dig G/B for the heat and the excitement, but I feel like O'B/B would be so good for both of them...

Hell, good for Keiko, too, if she gets to watch! (Or participate.)
