can i get uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh soulsilver star trek AU

so this has been sitting for ages but……I have thought on this! I’d probably set this in the time post events of The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, and Voyager. I’m choosing to ignore the events of the Star Trek movie and the series Picard because quite frankly…no.

I guess the general arc would be:

Lyra is in Starfleet proper, but she works on a space station. It’s more Deep Space Nine-ish but without the “holy crap this wormhole” drama, but it’s a bit wild west out there. She’s essentially a Starfleet anthropologist assigned to catalog and take notes on the myriad of cultures drifting through. Her strong, vibrant personality and ability to quickly code-switch works well to get information about new cultures and foster good relations and respect.

Silver is a Romulan whose work (scavenging and repurposing space flotsam and jetsam) brings him to the station every so often. He’s very shifty about his work, which makes people who don’t know him think he’s Tal Shiar (Romulan secret police), but he’s just very private. He feels he’s a bad example of a Romulan–not that he wants other people to know that. He probably frequents the bar and can be spotted in lonely corners gazing out at the stars.

I imagine Lyra finds this frequent visitor curious. He probably rebuffs her a lot at first, telling her to buzz off (is she spying on him?) manages to befriend him by fluffing his ego at first, asking where his gear was from (he made it himself!) and the like. A Romulan is unlikely to talk at length about  his culture unless in a pithy sense, so she tends to go for his personal achievements, and a friendship blooms from there. 

They fall in love in a slow sense. They come from different cultures and have to learn how to communicate. Lyra is busy with work with Silver disappears for weeks or even months at a time. They start staying in contact even when he’s gone with long calls and messages. When Silver’s around, they spend virtually all their time together, and that first kiss probably has so much romantic tension and pining leading up to it. 

They get together not long after the first kiss (that kinda love, you feel?) and live kind of this hectic life, and if Lyra transfers, Silver would choose to follow her wherever she goes. They honor both Lyra’s human traditions and Silver’s Romulan traditions, and I can see them with cats and lots of plants from both planets.

Fun notes/ideas/headcanons:

So much potential for Holodeck shenanigans. Showing each other favorite spaces. Lyra gets her childhood home programmed and shows him the quiet waters and waving grasses of her home on Earth. Silver shows her some of the most fantastic nebulae and some of the stark vistas from where he’s from on Romulus. 

Lyra works with Kris, a high-achieving but mischievous Vulcan–mischievous by Vulcan standards, which is to say she isn’t too spicy, and Ethan, a laidback and humorous human man. Kris tends to the curation and organization of the data that Ethan and Lyra bring in, while also taking note of human…proclivities. Ethan absolutely tries to wingman Silver and Lyra, but fails spectacularly because he doesn’t know how Romulan courtship goes. Kris largely leaves the romance alone, but she isn’t adverse to talking to Ethan about how to properly wingman.

I imagine Giovanni is some power-grubbing senator on Romulus and Silver complains about his tactics a lot. Lyra has a good relationship with her mother and can’t relate, but they certainly share some drinks over that one. This also suggests Silver is part of the senatorial class and isn’t allowed to marry outside of it, but he’s just out there rejecting Romulan society. Silver’s a nerd rebel like that.

Silver probably spends a lot of time in isolated corners just gazing out windows at the great starry expanse, completely in wonder, listening to music and books. He loves the literature and arts of various cultures, (probably has a collection of Klingon opera) but virtually no one knows that, and if you do, you’re sworn to secrecy about it.

The thought of Lyra and Silver figuring out how to touch and show affection is just…very cute to me. This AU would be full of that. Gah. Now I wanna write it for real.

hi (umbralogia is my sideblog) i just wanna let you know that you're one of my favorite writers and your writing inspires me. i'm so excited for your new fic. the way you write lilith is just so beautiful and powerful

oh my gosh babe!! this is so lovely and so kind, i’m all warm and fuzzy lol to inspire another writer and to create stories that stick with them like that is just the highest compliment. i’m so happy to hear that you enjoyed the first chapter of toacof; it’s a project i’m really excited to pursue even though it’s a bit of a challenge for me in terms of doing something a bit more out of my comfort zone with my fic. writing lilith is something i’m super excited to get a chance to pursue as well, and it makes me so happy to hear how much it really stood out to you! basically this is a long winded way of saying i hope you know how much this means to me, and thank you so very much for taking the time to say so because i truly value the love and support 💓
