Summary
Years later, surrounded by the desert in a safe and still moment, under a window to galaxies, Seven will reveal it was Voyager which expanded her concept of life, but it was Earth which expanded her concept of love. She will tell Raffi how its immensity, its infinitude, would reach out to her in pitch darkness, pull her back to the stars.
(Or, how Seven and B'Elanna come to Earth and become more than friends in a period of time that changes everything)

Too much of what he still wants to give to her, what she could have if she asked.”
(The one time Raffi and Jae have to resort to extraordinary measures during their post-divorce underground years.)

Summary
"Seven doesn’t ask for anything. Not because Seven is scarce for anything – no. On the contrary, she’s so, so full. Of life, of expression, of desire that starkly complements Raffi’s, maybe. It rushes into her depths, fills her impressions, leaves little pools of life where Raffi’s been sore for so long."
(Or, Raffi and Seven make out.)

Summary
“What do you want?”
This time, when Annika leans her forehand into Raffaela’s, into understanding that she didn’t know she needed until now, when she has it and wants nothing more than to immerse herself in it, lose herself. “This,” she says, in a broken, desperate tone that she’s never heard from herself before. “Just this.”
(Or, President Annika Hansen finds Raffaela Musiker in the Confederationverse. They fall in love.)

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
"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
"But it just reads like a really good book, the way you two came from totally different directions, met completely by accident, and now, here you are, stretching out all of her shirts."
(Or, five times Raffi and Seven were caught wearing each other's clothes)

Summary
"In the early days, they’d tried to take it slow. Seven always struggles to get her mind to catch up to her body. And sometimes she struggles to get her body to catch up with her mind. She’d told Raffi that, and they’d agreed to move slowly enough for Seven – and Raffi, to a lesser extent – to be able to process everything that was happening."
La Sirena breaks down, and Seven and Raffi get some time to ease further into intimacy. Meanwhile, the others in the crew encounter some very strangely hostile fauna on the planet.

Summary
“What do you have for me?” says Raffi, low and soft. Her desire seeps into her voice now. She can feel it, rolling over the cracks and crevices of her morning words. It's like honey dripping slowly over the sponge of pancakes, filling space, filling her chest, filling.
(Or, in the early days of their relationship, Raffi and Seven talk about desire. And Raffi thinks about breakfast.)

Summary
“Can I ask you one more question?” Soji’s eyes flash, and Seven holds up a hand. “Two questions, including that one I just asked now.”
“Well, you kind of already did, so I guess that’s fine.”
“Do you think you’re original or something?”
Soji blinks. “What?”
“The whole being-angry-because-my-whole-life-is-a-lie thing."
(How Seven, Soji, and Naomi become a girl gang. Or, how the body keeps the score.)

Summary
Raffi takes and releases a breath, which ripples against the back of Seven’s head. “You want to talk about what happened earlier?” And blessedly, because that opening statement is incredibly vague, she adds, in a lower, quieter, darker tone: “Because it was kind of hot, that little 'or what'?”
Seven and Raffi try out a new relationship dynamic.

give to me your leather (take from me my lace) by Ericine for stardustcityhag

Summary
"And Raffi waits. Because she knows from experience that the first few units of time after having your trust annihilated feel absolutely emptying, a chemical reaction that irrevocably changes your insides so that they feel like they’ll never fit against or within or alongside anyone else’s ever again. It’s not a feeling that comes out of a place of resentment. It’s more like the mere possibility of dropping your guard hurts too much, let alone the seemingly looming probability that you will be hurt again."
Or, Seven's holster sparks a really interesting two weeks.

Summary
“You know,” says Raffi, opening her arms as Seven gets back into bed, “the nice thing about this is that it’s a way you can express yourself in a way that no one else sees. And feel things no one else feels. Well. Almost no one.”
Seven winds her limbs around and between Raffi’s, and presses her lips to hers. “Almost no one,” says Seven, and kisses her for a really long time.
