❝    I’ve  heard  of  many  ridiculous  things  before  but  this  ‘time  lord’  business  sounds  pretentious.  I  almost  believe  it  to  be  another  of  Q’s  tricks  but  I  don’t  see  or  hear  him  gallivanting  around  which  means  ----  you’re  a  separate  circus  act  aren’t  you  ?  Don’t  you  know  such  things  went  out  years  ago  ?    ❞

              @nightcreators​ you didn’t ask but here’s RIKER !

[starstrekked]

❝    Well  hello  there.    ❞      He  offers  a  friendly  easy  going  smile.  There’s  no  need  to  be  hostile  and  he  didn’t  think  her  dangerous.  Not  yet  ,  but  he  knows  better  than  to  truly  let  down  his  guard.  Not  in  the  midst  of  space  where  it  is  unexplored  ------  unknown.      ❝  Call  me  Commander  Riker  ---  or  perhaps  Will  if  we  can  be  agreeable  friends.    ❞

“Imzadi, you are VERY tense.” Deanna took Riker’s hand. “Why don’t we relax? We’re off-shift.” @astralanthropologists​

❝      I  have  a  lot  on  my  mind.      ❞        But  in  an  instant  he  feels  as  if  all  of  it  were  washed  away      ,      almost  as  if  her  very  touch  soothed  his  worries.  Almost  as  if  she  were  a  cool  drink  of  water  nad  he  was  a  dehydrated  man  in  a  desert.  Riker  finds  that  he  cannot  hide  nor  can  he  resist  the  effect  that  Deanna  has  on  him  and  he  eventually  feels  that  tension  melt  away  from  his  being.

A  sigh  leaves  his  lips.      ❝      Deanna    .....      I  can’t  ever  hide  or  resist  you.  We  are  off  shift  and  we  should  spend  this  time  relaxing  together.  I  shouldn’t  let  the  stress  of  the  shift  bleed  over.      ❞        He  admits  and  soon  he  feels  his  body  so  easily  melt  next  to  her  and  he  moves  in  closer.      ❝      Maybe  you’ll  even  humor  me  and  we  can  have  dinner  together.      ❞

BAM. A certain acting ensign hugs Riker tightly!! It's Hugh hug time!

❝      I  don’t  know  who  hits  harder      ------        you  or  Data.      ❞      Will  responds,      a  chuckle  forming  in  his  throat  as  he  quickly  catches  his  balance.      (      just  barely    )      but  all  the  same,      he  remains  on  his  feet.        ❝      What  brought  this  on  ?      Geordi  not  giving  you  enough  attention  ?      I  heard  it’s  a  mess  down  in  engineering  right  now.      ❞      He  was  due  to  check  in  on  them  at  ten-hundred  hours  and  update  Picard  on  their  progress.  But  for  now  he  had  a  more  pressing  matter,      Riker  wraps  an  arm  around  the  ensign.

❝      Can  I  help  you  ?    ❞    @iamselfmade​

❝      The   scenery   here   is   beautiful   ...      relaxing   even.      ❞      He   rests,      leaning   back   on   his   elbows.      ❝      This   shore   leave   was   much   needed   for   all   of   us   ,      don’t   you   think   so   ?      ❞   @aempathie​ | starter call for TNG muses

“I’m just trying to figure out why you’re here.” from Kirk, to Riker! (Let chaos reign 😈)

❝      You   and   me   both.      ❞            He   replied   ,         glancing   around   at   the   Enterprise.   He’d   read   about   her   ,         but   seeing   the   bridge   in   person   was   far   different.   Well   ,      he   was   also   standing   in   front   of   the   man   ,         the   myth   ,         the   legend   himself.   There   was   the   part   of   him   that   was   absolutely   ecstatic   ,         but   the   logical   part   of   him   knows   he   cannot   reveal   anything.   Being   from   the   future   ,         he   cannot   say   anything   which   might   influence   the   past.         ❝      Just   know   that   we’re   on   the   same   side.   We’re   allies.      ❞    @asterophile​

"You could serve to loosen up a little." The doctor mutters to the commander. "Honestly all of your crew serves to make me believe I must've entered a world where nobody has a sense of curiosity." ( For Riker from Ten )

❝    Oh  they’re  curious  alright.  You’ve  clearly  not  had  the  pleasure  of  meeting  Data  and  Geordi.  However  ,  we  don’t  take  kindly  to  random  strangers  beaming  aboard  our  ship  unannounced  and  then  insulting  us  and  gallivanting  around  as  if  he  owns  the  place.  You  remind  me  of  Q  and  I  don’t  like  clowns.    ❞

❛  there  is  some  good  in  this  world,  and  it’s  worth  fighting  for.  ❜ ( luke @ riker )

❝    I  often  think  the  same  thing  ----  that  there  is  good  in  the  world.  I  haven’t  lost  faith  in  that  sentiment.  It’s  what  Starfleet  is  all  about  ----  the  good.  We’re  on  a  mission  of  peace  and  exploration  and  we  only  use  force  as  a  last  resort.  I  for  one  think  it’s  worth  fighting  to  protect  those  who  cannot  protect  themselves.  But  it’s  so  easy  to  feel  as  if  the  only  thing  left  in  this  world  is  the  bad  and  the  evil.  So  easy  to  get  disheartened.    ❞
