I'll stand by with the medication, just in case. The pain may become so intense that I'll have to—

As someone who has shipped P/C since 1994 and JC since 2006. I just want to say:

Continuing justice for Jean Luc and Kathryn!

( No, no! Not as a ship, you can stop screaming in horror now, I have not abandoned my soulmate pairs)

But as characters:

They both get a very bad wrap for being addicted or married to duty. And in some ways they are, it’s true!

But as confirmed by Picard season 3, Jean Luc says he would have wanted a shot at being a husband to Beverly, from his own lips! And he says that he would have wanted to be a father. She may not have known either of those things, but it doesn’t make them any less fact.

He was also openly affectionate to her, sometimes in public during TNG. Riker knew about them, he says as much to Jack. No one on the crew bats an eye about Jack in fact.

JL and Bev were about as subtle as an air horn set on low volume. Trying to be circumspect, but actually being a billboard for lifetime love. Heck even Shaw knew and we had never met him before. People don’t know that much about a relationship if one person in it is solely married to duty.

And Kathryn! Miss Ma’am let Chakotay build her a bathtub while still trying to get off the planet. She cried at his speech, even though it was so mushy, it could have been day old oatmeal. Why? Because she knew he meant it. ( and I as a mushy viewer, appreciated him being that honest about his feelings too)

She let him give her a rose in Coda and she struggled mightily with his disappointment in her several times in later seasons. Her counterpart in Shattered was also very openly interested in how far they went in seven seasons. (Shoot your future shot lady! Go you!) and no one thinks S7 Kathryn was totally cool with C/7 right? Her face said otherwise. Admiral Janeway, was also heartbroken in about six ways, only two of which were Seven dying and Tuvok getting sick.

She also seemingly, from what I’ve read, made it part of her goal to find him in Prodigy too. Like Jean-Luc with Beverly, when Chalotay is lost, she will seek.

So while yes, duty sometimes sidetracks each of them. they are loving people who adore their other halves as well. They are complex.

And that’s part of why I love each pair, for the devotion that both of the partners in each relationship feel and how they navigate it together.

True love must flow from each heart to make a sustainable ship

And so I hope that as much as we discuss the duty bound Admirals and those who love them, that we also keep discussing and writing about their softer sides and the ways they show that love in return.

In another universe I would have enjoyed just doing laundry and taxes with you....

Drew this doodle because I'm sure there must be a place where he was a husband to Beverly and a father for Jack

500 fics

I hit a milestone for myself today.

500 fics.

Now, the question is if the next milestone I will hit is going to be 550 fics or 11,000,000 words. Which will come first? LOL

Beverly: Well, I got pregnant that night.

Jean-Luc:

[bevthespecial]

So all these years, every ounce of Beverly's love was protecting Jack from the darkness in his own mind.

She showed him the stars, while he was her whole universe.

And yet she still might lose him.

(If Bev doesn't Ripley the Borg Queen, I will riot.)

This is the beginning of the blurb on the front inside fold of Death In Winter by Michael Ian Friedman, an official Star Trek novel published in 2005

And here are present day Jean Luc and Beverly, looking at each other, from two scenes at the end of the last episode of Star Trek Picard. The way they feel, clearly has not changed, nor will it ever.

[sapphicsandscience]

Just letting my Picrusher heart have some feelings tonight.

[the-mad-hatter-tea-party]

In my mind... (and no one can tell me otherwise!)

Larice moved to Chaltok IV while Picard stayed on earth to be close to Jack as he joined Star Fleet Academy. Beverly, as we know, is heading Star Fleet Medical, which is on earth as well. They (all three) quickly became a family unit, and by the time we see them in the shuttle, they are back together.

I mean LOOK at the way they looks at each other!!
