I may have to make a Saffi playlist 🤔

I am so deep in my feels today. Are they cliche choices? Probably. Do I have epic feels anyway? Yes, yes I do.

The oneshot for Seven is now first in a connected series 🙄 calling the series “scars of acceptance, finally enough” rather than just the fic.

Current title for the oneshot is “somewhere to belong” but that could change by dinner time which is when I was thinking of posting. It’s changed 3x already this morning.

My thinking at the moment is calling Raffi’s oneshot “another second chance” but it was called something else this morning so who knows 🤷‍♂️

Anyway me and my cliche musical feels march on.

My weakness is

That I care too much

And our scars remind us

That the past is real

I tear my heart open

Just to feel

–

I’ve never been the kind of person you can trust

But if you can give me half a chance I’ll show

How much I can fix myself for you

And I’ll try, to never disappoint you

I’ll try, until I get it right

–

I will always hold you close

But I will learn to let you go

I promise I’ll do better

I will rearrange the stars

Pull ‘em down to where you are

I promise I’ll do better

–

When you’re lost in the dark

When you’re out in the cold

When you’re looking for something

That resembles your soul

When the wind blows your house of cards

I’ll be a home to your homeless heart

holishkes:

I just feel the need to say that they just…could have not said that Seven and Raffi broke up? Like it would not have changed the plot at all if they were just still together

#so unfortunately true#which makes it even more WTF and a crying shame because just why???#really just feels like a big fuck you to Saffi fans tbh#I’m so tired

Speculation regarding how Seven would be addressed in StarFleet.

How about Captain Musiker?

I mean obviously StarFleet is cool with no last name I mean it was just Commander Data, Commander Worf etc. but I would not be opposed to picture the scene.

Some new ensign is being taken to meet the Captain. They are nervous but reassured that while Captain Musiker has a reputation it’s all going to be fine. We’re thinking “Raffi is the Captain? Not what was expecting but sweet!” and then it pans to the bridge and Seven turns around. Hey if paperwork demands it, might as well just take the wife’s name 😉

Cue banter on the bridge about how they call her Captain Seven anyway maybe to avoid any confusion re: the Commander I don’t know.

Seven’s all “If I have to surrender myself to the inanities of StarFleet protocol then I will tick all their boxes to ensure we remain together”

And then a little smirk like “done running remember”

Ok so I was just maybe screen recording some of episode 9 for… reasons and I got to the part where Picard asks after her and Seven goes “I am myself” and Raffi does this little head shake thing.

And just it’s so subtle and so perfect. Seven is hiding her feelings because she doesn’t want to be vulnerable to people, but she’s already talked to Raffi a bit – already! And they’ll probably talk more later.

Like I’m not explaining this well but with Raffi in Seven’s confidence, they are a team, and the others are on the outside a bit. Idk I just like the intimacy of the trust and the emotional sharing.
