beverly crusher/jean-luc picard - oneshot fanfiction "Blush"

" She made a mental plan as she changed into her sleepwear. She’d sleep on top of the covers, he’d sleep under them. She’d curl up in the fetal position while facing away from him. She’d sleep on the very edge of her side of the bed and everything would be just fine. They had survived wars. Klingon, Cardassian, Borg, even gooey black piles of sludge with murderous tendencies. They could survive this. "

titled: Blush

summary: She could handle sharing a room with him. She could handle sharing a bed with him. But the explicit sounds from the next room over? She was sure that three days of that at a Starfleet conference was going to break her... And it did. (screams in 'there was only one bed')

fandom: star trek: the next generation ship: beverly crusher/jean-luc picard rated: explicit !!! word count: 12,944 status: completed one-shot tags: girl, if I even try to tag this the way I did on ao3, tumblr will put a hit out on me and my family. ao3 has the tags you need to see, but just know, not a single thing about this is clean. one bed, mutual pining, UST, you get it.

You know what? I don’t even care that they completely forgot about Laris by the end of the season. She just never felt that well developed for me to care about her. But what I do want to know what Jean Luc and Beverly’s relationship is like now. Are they just friends who co-parent? Are they dating? Please, let these two be together. We’ve been waiting years, even decades, for this.

When I was 5, I watched the Star Trek: TNG episode “Attached” (s7 ep8) and positively IMPRINTED on it 👁️👄👁️

So I comm’d fellow ST fan @marleywardart to create this piece of Picard & Crusher having their simple breakfast of “coffee and croissants” together. 🥰

I just love them sm. 🥹💗🫶

But yes, highly recommend the whole series but especially the episode Attached. The bond forcing them to feel each other’s feelings and hear each other’s thoughts!! ✅ The yearning!! ✅ The loaded history between the two of them!! ✅ It is a perfect episode. 😌😌

Something tells me you're going to have to put up with me for a long time to come. Well, it won't be easy, but I'll manage.

Happy 30th anniversary to the episode that simultaneously makes me ecstatic and breaks my heart.

Star Trek: The Next Generation I "Allegiance"

Aster - Alternative (original)

Not sure if anyone here is reading Aster but before it turned into the long fic it is now I originally had a far shorter (and sadder) outline - sending JL and Bev of a journey of healing and rediscovery.

I didn’t end up going with it for a few reasons but had a few bits already written before I changed the direction of the fic.

So this is a little part of what I had written. Might one day expand this into a longer one-shot. But thought I should get it out of my drafts at least.

He found her on a hill. 

Jean-Luc paused short of her. “Beverly…” he called out. 

It was a hill that Jean-Luc knew well. It was only a short stroll from the house but far enough so it felt as if you had escaped - tucked away behind one of the vineyards - and in the direction of the setting sun. This was where his path had led him. His steps had brought him to Beverly as she stood on the hill, facing out, a glowing silhouette in the remaining daylight as dusk blanketed them both. 

Eventually, he stepped forward and toward her. His voice was quiet and unassuming so as to not startle her. Though he suspected that she, as he would, had already felt his presence. “Are you - “ 

It was a silly question and he managed to hold the words in his mouth despite their bitter taste at this time. He would hold the bitterness and its pain forever if it would help her. However, it didn’t work like that. 

Grief never did. 

Of course, she was not alright. None of them were alright. Because he had seen this image before. Beverly standing in the view of an orange and pink blush that had lit up the sky. Though this time something was missing. It was hard to believe there has only been two months between that memory and this present - and in that time - that a life had come into existence and then left them behind. 

Someone was missing. So small yet so felt.

Beverly’s shoulders dropped as he moved closer to her. “I was just thinking,” she said softly, gazing into the landscape ahead of them. “Taking in the view,” she turned to him with a gentle smile, though the light bounced around in her wet eyes as she looked at him. 

He smiled back. “Penny?”

Beverly rested her head on his shoulder as she looked back out. “It is one of my favorite things - watching the stars while there is still light,” she uttered quietly. It was peaceful around them, nature was in balance, and there was no need to raise a voice. “Something is different about them in the dusk…the way they glimmer and move. And I know we have long reached them…but from down here they feel -”

“Untouchable,” he finished her sentence. “However, not in a way that is unpleasant. In a way that is -”

“Everlasting,” she said. “At least - in this perspective. As we stand here now.”

Jean-Luc nodded, wearing a small hole in the gravel with one of his feet as he stood. “You know, often as a child, I came to this very spot, at a similar time of day, and looked up at those very stars…”

“You looked for your mother,” she replied, a wind passing over them both as she spoke. Beverly wrapped her cardigan around her midsection tighter. “You told me the last time that I stood here,” the same gentle smile fell upon her lips - a sadness interlaced with the acceptance. 

That they would smile again. Despite everything.

His throat tightened. “Yes.”

“And now. You can see them both.”

Jean-Luc tightened his arm around her, bringing her in as close as possible to his own body. As he had done so in those early hours. Tried to protect her against was what not going to be. Held her as she cried for a future they had both grown into and as she struggled to tell him just what was happening. They were hours that were now burnt into his mind. Hours that - beyond the science that grounded them both in their lives and careers - still brought him here now. 

He looked up. And she followed his lead. 

Aster.

A star. Among the many.

He felt Beverly swallow, her arms coming to cross around her chest. “It was something special,” she began to speak again. To him and the stars between them. This was for no one else. But their family. Something sacred. She exhaled shakily. “Our baby was special. Jean-Luc, I do not know if we could ever replicate that again. Or if I want to.”

He understood. 

“This baby…our baby…did so much for us without taking his first breath. He taught me about myself and he would have taught me so much more. He brought us closer and gave me a glimpse of a future I had never imagined would be within my grasp. And for those weeks, it was, and I will treasure them forever. And I know that now, with him up there, I have all that I need to complete me, Beverly. As long as I am with you.”

beverly crusher/jean-luc picard fanfiction

titled: You're a Man Now, Boy [part two]

summary: based on the canon fact that Jean-Luc was present for Wesley’s birth: Jean-Luc spends time with baby Wesley, trying to reconcile his guilt over the traumatic birth while helping an overwhelmed Beverly. [important note: this won't make sense unless you read part one]

The crunch of the break, the capitulation of the bone. There was something almost biblical about it all. The same hand that brought life, helped birth it into this world, was a hand of violence. “They say that a child born into a burning house thinks the whole world is on fire, and I'm sorry that I was the reason that the world was on fire for you, even if it was only for a short time."

I’m curious/concerned about how they are going to end Picard in terms of the relationship between Jean Luc and Beverly considering Laris is in his life. On the one hand, I’ve shipped Jean Luc and Beverly for many years (as I’m know many trekkies have) so to bring her back, give them a son together and not give them a happy ending would just feel so wrong, but it would just feel mean for him to just ditch Laris because Beverly is back.

"I really don't understand the Beverly/Picard shippers. Nothing against the ship, people are free to ship anyone. It's the idea behind the ship. I feel like they think just because Jack exists, Picard and Beverly must end together, because apparently they are soulmate... maybe it's because I'm not american, but two people having a child doesn't mean they have to stay in a romantic relationship. Beverly and Picard broke up 5 times, didn't really speak to each other for 20 years not to mention Beverly's motherhood's issues, why the hell she choose to raise Jack alone? Picard wasn't unsafe, he was just staying in his castle enjoying a normal life. Also, Picard had a new love interest, why would he throw everything away for Beverly? And why Beverly would want to be with him again since she never contacted him? Nothing against the shippers, but in canon they don't make sense and Jack's existence doesn't fix them.

A child can't fix a bad relationship. The Beverly/Picard fandom has an outdated view on this situation.
