Title: all your perfect imperfections
Fandom: Star Trek: Discovery
Rating: Explicit
Length: ~92,760 words (O.M.F.G.)
Pairing: Christopher Pike/Sylvia Tilly
Notes: I swear I had an outline for this. And I thought it'd be about 30K words, ahahaha, holy shit.

Real, actual notes for this are that I find these two adorable in canon, but I couldn't reconcile my internal understanding of Pike with the thought that he would seduce (or allow himself to be seduced by) an ensign 20 years his junior in his command structure. So, clearly, I had to take care of that issue and set it post-canon. Right? Right. Still an age difference, but at least he's not her commanding officer. Age difference, I can deal with; power imbalance is noooooot what I was going for.

Spoilers for the second season of Disco, every last Byzantine, shoe-horned-in plot twist of it (she says with love even after having to figure out how some of that shit could possibly have worked, no really.)

Spoilers also for Pike's storyline from TOS (I know, it aired 40 years ago, but I'll warn regardless.)

Summary: Once Discovery jumped to the future, everything seemed settled. Back to normal, or as close as that could be. The thing about the future, though, is that it’s always in motion--and sometimes it brings things that can hardly be believed.
