I finally finished the fourth part of my best friend’s father. We’re nearing completion of the series, so I’m hoping you like where the story is headed. Enjoy
I’ve rewatched “Final Mission” (Star Trek: The Next Generation, season 4, episode 9). It’s one of the episodes in which we see Jean-Luc and Wesley bonding. Ensign Crusher sees a father figure in his captain and they both are afraid to cross boundaries but slowly and steadily grow closer to each other. (Spoilers!) Here they crush on a deserted planet with an impulsive “captain” of a mining shuttle, try finding water and shelter. Because of the “captain”, our captain (oh god, I’ve just called Jean-Luc Picard “our captain”…) gets injured, so Welsey has to manage the situation himself. Well, he manages to some point – the “captain” dies, but ensign gets to the water and saves Picard. By the way, the episode is called “Final Mission”, because Wesley is leaving to the academy and Jena-Luc says that he envies him and that he has to meet his friend – Boothby – a groundkeeper.
There’s something exciting going on and Vivien cannot wait to show it to Alder. What is it? What can it be? It doesn’t actually matter, he’ll follow her and will be happy about whatever it is, because if she’s happy - he’ll be happy too. That’s how it is with people you keep close to your heart. Commission for @sapphicdomain And happy birthday to your friend!
{ Headcannon - Double Diamond, Ruthie’s wolf dad, is the type of dad who will accept anyone as his kid.
Don’t have a father figure? Bam! There he is, willing to be a father figure to ya and help ya in anyway he can help with!
Have a bad father? Boom! Here he comes to accept ya as his kid.
He doesn’t care who and what ya are, he’s always there for anyone and tries his best to be, not only a leader, but also a father to everyone. He supports every one of his kids and is willing to do anything for anyone. }
