Disco: what if the captain was a cryptofascist? no wait, what if he was just sooooooo handsome, like so mind-meltingly handsome that is just feels unfair? wait, what if he was a deer? no actually what if she did whatever the hell she wanted, but also felt emotions about it?

can’t shake the idea of amanda making the kids spend a harvest season on uncle trip’s and aunt t’pol’s pear farm in washington. this is basically a “the simple life” au where sybok forms a cult of personality, michael frees all the frogs from a local high school, and spock gets a crush. classic boy meets world stuff.

Perhaps the essential nature of each captain and first officer dynamic:
Kirk and Spock: t'hy'la
Georgiou and Burnham: family
Chris and Una: asylum
Picard and Riker: respect
Sisko and Kira: reverence
Janeway and Chakotay: leaky parameters
Archer and T’Pol: dog surrounded by fire “this is fine” meme
Shaw and Seven: that time she calls him a dick and he agrees
