Summary
On Coppelius, the crew of La Sirena sits at a crossroads. Determined to fix what she's broken, Seven asks Raffi for help with the Artifact's xBs. Hundreds grieve. Eight people decide what to do next. Six of them fall in love.
But by gods, there will be singing.
(Takes place between Picard's "death" and the final scene of s1e10)
Updated with Chapter 2:
Picard's alive, and it makes it kind of hard not to reach out for possibility, for hope, and hold it close.
(Their first kiss happens a lot earlier than other people think.)

Summary
"They’ve never gone easy on each other, thinks Seven, gripping Raffi’s hand back. It’s the way you can only cut a diamond with another diamond. They sharpen each other, which is at times comforting and at other times terrifying."
(5 1 times Seven and Raffi contemplated each others' arms, with some pining)

Summary
"Raffi will come back to this moment over and over again, for years. How she could never really shake that first impression: the titanium-sharp edge to Seven’s ferocity and beauty in equal measure. The softness in Seven’s hand juxtaposed with the coolness of her metal fingertips - a touch she'd come to know nearly as well as she knows herself, a safe place she and Seven could and would come back to, over and over and over again, in times of joy, grief, ecstasy, tenuousness, wonder, fear, vulnerability. An ever-present base to come back to when words failed."
Love's not something you find. It's something you create. One moment at a time.
This is how it starts.

Summary
“Seven’s seen artists talk of the precious azure hues of water, but water seems that shade only because it reflects the sky. The true color, underneath, is this hazel, of Raffi’s eyes and the true color of an M class planet. Even in the warm-toned dusk, it emerges true.
Like Raffi. Raffi emerges true.”

Summary
"Seven can think all of these things, feel all of these things, hold the cynicism so close that she can touch it, feel the barrier it makes between her and people who just want to connect with her.
And then she can look at Raffi sometimes, like she is now, and suddenly there’s so much space between her and all of it – Raffi, who doesn’t wear her trauma as explicitly on her body as Seven does but still somehow lives with her heart on the outside of her body and has never, ever seen that as a weakness."
(Or, Seven and Raffi get their dance, Cris and Tallinn attempt stargazing from Earth, Seven and Raffi navigate connection with Seven's human body, Raffi seeks out respite in the middle of it all, and Tallinn cold reads the whole group for their Starbucks orders.)
