Star Trek Picard - Blog Posts
So, turns out when my mum was visiting my dad whilst he was working overseas in America in 1998, the Star Trek experience was going on whist they were visiting Los Vegas and my mum told my dad; "If we get married at the Star Trek Experience, I will only do it if Jean-Luc Picard slash Patrick Stewart officiates."
Star Trek has seen captains who are scientists, diplomats, warriors, artists, inspirations, explorers, and heroes. But never has Star Trek seen a captain who is just done with everything and wishes he could go back to bed.
Finally, a character I can relate to.
It took me forever and two days to finish, but I think it‘s my new favourite painting. A toast to Captain Liam Shaw 🍷🖖🏻
Jack Crusher x Sidney La Forge
The turbo lift scene if it had gone the way I wanted it to. There is seriously a lack of Sidney and Jack content out there, and it's criminal. I just love the chemistry between the two. So here is my attempt at conveying that chemistry.
_______________
The ride was rather quiet, considering there were six other people in the turbo lift. As soon as they got to the next level, they all got out, Sidney could hear the announcement from another crew member talking about the logs. She was, however, more focused on the fact that she was now alone in the turbolift with the infamous Jack Crusher. He is handsome, she had to admit, but he was also dangerous, especially given the recent situations they've found themselves in.
Jack cleared his throat next to her, "So...what are your quarters like? Nice?" He asked, watching her intently.
Sidney scoffed, "No. I'm an ensign. They're standard quarters. They're small, very small." She looked at him, and she saw that mischievous, boyish grin he wore whenever he was about to say something less than appropriate.
Jack continued to watch her for a second before saying, "Well...cause you know half the ship's empty. Well, I've found myself a cracking little suite. I'd love to uh, hang out sometime if you're - or not, that's fine. " He broke as she looked at him with a questioning gaze before looking ahead of her. Jack couldn't help but stare at her, slightly unsure of himself as he was talking. What exactly was he asking? To hang out? Really, is that the best he could do? He certainly wanted more than to just 'hang out'. His mind began to drift to how pretty Sidney was, her hair always tied perfectly, her curious eyes watching everyone and everything around her, the way she looked at him as though he was a mystery she was trying to unravel. Everything about her drew him in more and more. Lost in thought, he didn't realise he was staring at her for a long time until something strange started happening.
"Is he flirting? Those eyes..." She inhaled deeply at that, like she couldn't believe how beautiful his eyes were. "He is charming...at least be subtle first...touch my hand or..." She broke off the sentence in her own mind.
Jack could hear all of this, hear it all in his own mind. He couldn't quite believe that he was hearing it. He hadn't been sure if she felt the same as he did... until now. As he listened to her mind, he looked her up and down, taking everything in. The way her uniform fit perfectly, the way she held herself, and how beautiful she was. As soon as she confessed that she wanted him to touch her hand, he made up his mind about what to do next. Jack immediately looked down at her hand and slowly inched closer, moving his hand until it gently touched hers.
Sidney's eyes shot to where both their hands were now touching. The shock and confusion were evident on her face, but there was also a hint of joy. She stared at him for a second before asking, "Why did you do that?"
Jacked just stared at her, the whispering of Sidney's thoughts echoing in his mind. "How did he know to touch my hand?" This one statement stuck with him. He had to close this off, he had to stop it before he lost the chance to do the one thing he had been wanting to do for a while now.
So he ignored all of this, ignored the whisperings of her mind, ignored the sounds and voices he was hearing, and slowly, they were drowned out.
Jack didn't respond to Sidneys previous question. Instead, he moved his fingers to chin and gently grasped it as he leaned in, pressing his lips to hers. He could surprise her, but after a second or two, she started to kiss him back. Before long, their lips were moving in rhythm, her fingers carefully threaded through his hair, and she almost melted on the spot at how soft his hair was. Her lips were soft against as, she tasted rather sweet, he sighed at how perfect this was.
Sidney deepend the kiss, and Jack's hands moved again, one going to her waist and holding her closer to him and the other going to her neck. He slowly pushed he backwards until her back hit the wall of the turbolift. He tilted his head sightly to get better access to her mouth as she moaned into the kiss, an action which made Jack smirk against her lips.
He was very quickly realising the effect he had on her, and he was going to make sure she knew exactly how he felt about her.

*No Shaw hate please, we know some people don’t like this character, but we would like to keep this event positive. (We also know how to block and will.)
I put this in someone else's comments back in the day, but it deserves its own post: every time I rewatch Picard S3, I find myself rewinding Shaw’s scenes three times an episode and thinking to myself “man, this guy is just really f***ing good at being a captain.”
The big catalyst for this realization was Shaw being the only person on the Titan who realized that the changelings were somehow tracking the ship, and how he delegated the investigation to Jack to pull him out of his guilt-spiral. Oh, right, and he did all of this with a fractured femur while bleeding out all over sickbay. An episode later, all Seven needs to do is tell him that all the engineers are busy and he immediately figures out what the plan is and how he needs to help without being read in.
I’ve previously waxed poetic about the Dinner of Discontent and Shaw regaling Picard’s and Riker’s greatest hits in the turbolift. People just think he’s being a jerk, but no, this man is demonstrating that he actually studied for this test. He methodically gathered information on his guests and methodically used said information to destroy their crappy excuses in a perfectly logical way. In other words, he did the work to make a well-informed decision just as a captain should. On rewatch, when Seven warns Picard to lower his expectations, she’s not making a personal attack against Shaw — she’s warning Picard that Shaw’s done the work and has his number.
This is all in addition to the countless pivots and split-second calls Shaw made on the bridge whenever another bonkers revelation would come out of Picard’s mouth. And the care he consistently showed to Esmar, Mura, and Sidney with thank yous and comforting touches. And the fact that he’s not on the bridge 24/7 because, you know, his first officer exists for a reason. And his overarching drive to protect his crew at all costs, even when it meant unpopular decisions.
Gah, what a gift of a character.
Now I've reread almost every Liam Shaw centered Fanfiction on AO3 twice.
What should I do now???
Picard Season 2 Episode 1..
Everyones thoughts last minute….
And if it's gay, probably Janeway or Discovery...❤️
“where did this weird trope even come from?”
well, statistically speaking, probably star trek
Can anyone recommend their favorite WLW Star Trek or Stargate fanfics I should download while I try to dissociate next week? I have seen Discovery, Voyager, Picard, and the new movies, but if it is well written I am happy to read from Star Trek series I haven't seen yet!
I primarily ship Janeway/Seven, already have Burnished Slate and Wild Horses, and all of the Just Between series.
Bonus points if it's slow burn with an action/adventure/mystery/psychological drama plot =D
Thank you ❤️
My first introduction to Seven of Nine was through Picard, and I just love her all growed up <3
STAR TREK: PICARD - S3E1 The Next Generation
