"I Do" [1/4] Wesley/RikernurayaJune 30 2011, 19:49:17 UTC
Not sure if this is anywhere near what was intended, but. Here's one. :) Apologies for the length!
Beverly is visiting his son, who is serving on Captain Riker's ship. Obviously Riker is not married to Deanna.
It happened on that day in the engine room. Riker didn't really even remember what he'd been doing in the engine room, but he remembered what Wesley had been doing there. It was still one of the boy's favourite places to be while reading. Not that he'd been a "boy" in a while now, not ever since he'd stepped on board Riker's ship. Riker had noticed that when Wesley stood next to him on the bridge, he was taller, and then, of course, there was the uniform, which wasn't hanging on him anymore like it was half a size too big, no, it had filled out. When Riker put his hand on Wesley's shoulder, it was all muscle. That's when he'd noticed.
Yes, that's where that had started, and things had changed. But then there was the engine room

"What-why..." Riker narrowed his eyes. "Have you been talking to Deanna?" After all, she knew him best. She knew all about his heart even when he didn't. She was his best friend, even after everything.
Wesley's smile was ever brighter. "Are you saying I'm wrong?"
It was really hard to let that smile down. "No

"You know me, mom, I want to know everything about everything," Wesley was saying. "I think I might as well have stopped at the pancakes, though

They met one another's gaze like two rivalling captains, arguing over their rights to the same ship. She evaluated him, with demanding, harsh eyes, and he challenged her, with courage and a little bit of anger.
Then she slapped him.
And next, she hugged him.
"Oh, Will," she whispered as she squeezed the stunned man. "How could you deprive me of the pleasure of knowing that my son finally found someone?"
Riker's eyes widened and his mouth opened. Wait, what? He lifted his hands, uncertain if he should hug her back or what, it all felt very awkward.
"Uh..."
She pushed him back and she was smiling. Riker couldn't believe it. Her eyes welled up with tears, she drew in a deep breath ― and then she slapped him again.
"And how could you just drop it on me like that, you're getting married?" she snapped

After that, Riker could only watch as a pair of Crushers went on about the wedding and it all started feeling a little more real. Not half as real, though, as Wesley's nimble fingers twining in between his own after his mother had left. The younger man pressed their bodies together and rested his head against Riker's shoulder as they sat on the couch in Wesley's quarters

First of all- OMG SOMEBODY FILLED MY WESLEY/RIKER PROMPT!!!!! Some days I feel like I'm the only one who likes them.
So this was perfect! It was exactly what I was hoping for. I swear I don't know how these two always manage to be so damn adorable, but guh.
I can't thank you enough for this wonderful fill. You have no idea how hard it is for me to just not burst out giggling here at work. I'm squeeing so hard in my head right now though.
wondering whether an escape pod would make it to the nearest planet in one piece, and whether Beverly would actually follow him all the way down to kill him once she heard the news. *snort* I love that line!
And this "Yes," Riker said, "Wesley makes excellent pancakes. He's made them for me for breakfast many times, and they're always delicious." made me *headdesk* Silly Will.
Anyway, I really just love it. Thank you!!!! ♥ ♥ ♥

OMG YAY you liked it!!! :D I'm so happyyy!!! ^_________^
Okay you know I have to confess that I've never written about this pairing before. But your prompt just... kind of exploded in my head. So thank you for the prompt!! I haven't written mush in ages, this felt good. And now I really adore this couple. They just... WORK, somehow.
Ha! Riker is in love and all nervous and silly. *lol*
Re: "I Do" [5/5] Wesley/RikernurayaJune 30 2011, 20:33:40 UTC
OMG. *watches* Squeet!!!
I need no convincing other than the witness of mine own brain. They flowed so naturally.
Yes, new pairings are a delight! This one was particularly enjoyable and made me find new levels in the characters. I never realised that I apparently think Wesley is gay. O.o This amuses me.

They do flow easily, that's for sure. I think I have to agree with you there. Even though I sometimes make him bi, I really see him as gay. So, you have a new fan for life! I totally just went and squeed on your lj, and you should definitely post this to the comm!

I am so in love with this. ♥ I've always been taken with Wesley and Riker but this is the first fic I've read of them and I'M SO GLAD I DID. Honestly, you couldn't have handled this more perfectly. :) Beautiful.

This is one of those moments I wish I could edit my comments. ..."his" son. HHHA! Well yeah no Beverly hasn't switched genders. :P
I also forgot to add the word "fill" in the title, but just in case, I added it into this comment, along with the rating.
And for good measure, I've posted this on my own journal, too, in case someone prefers to read it in one piece or something. Because I'm an obsessive nut that way.

I completely do not mind people squeeing in my journal. That's what it's there for, after all. ;)
