"I'll marry you when you give me an heir", her father had said. So when Nituna was born, she was given her mother's name. To her mother's great horror, Roger was detached to Nituna, mourning the boy she should be. This made Illari double down on making sure Nituna was well educated to the level she could manage, and that she knew her manners and maxed every skill she could. Roger was so excited to have a child and Illari was not, so to have the relationship between father and daughter be so contentious, Illari wanted Nituna to know that she was proud of her daughter and thrilled to share life with her. 

Nituna was always a clever child - she'd clearly inherited a trait or two from her father in that respect. There was something else there, though, that impacted her ability to stay focused and in her lane as was expected of a young girl in this decade. Her mother noticed very early, but what was there to be done?

Summary:

His hand shook despite his efforts to still it, as he grasped the ice-cold doorknob and yanked it open. The late evening sunlight caught the stranger’s pale skin from behind, making him seem almost luminescent, and when those eyes landed on Geordi’s face—

Those yellow eyes—

“Data?” Geordi breathed, before he could stop himself.

The stranger regarded him sympathetically, though a familiar smile pulled at the edges of his lips, as if he couldn’t quite keep his emotions under wraps. “No,” came the reply. “Not quite." --- After Data's death, Geordi goes on leave from Starfleet, retreating to a small house by himself and cutting off most communication with his friends. It's someone very unlikely that helps him open up again, and they both begin to heal.

*grabs you by the shoulders* listen. the reason why lore and geordi would’ve been so interesting to have interact is because they both struggle with the idea that they need to be fixed. geordi isn’t ashamed of his disability, he embraces it and how it affects his experience of the world. but sometimes that confidence slips and he just wants to have the same experience those around him do. he suffers through chronic pain and having his disability used against him again and again. lore knows there’s something wrong in his root programming, but he leans into his abilities as an android and sees himself as an improvement on humanity. but that confidence slips too and he admits that he would’ve tried to be more human if he could’ve - that he wanted to be fixed, prove that he could live among humans the way data does. geordi and lore rely on being perceived as handling anything on their own, and both need to have control over themselves and the situations around them. but if you stuck them in a room together they would pick each other apart until it gets messy and ugly and there's nothing left but what they're trying to hide.

must a ship be “good” or “make sense”? what if it’s just really funny?
