Author Website: poorly kept secrets
Why this must be read:
Ro Laren has always been one of my favourite TNG characters, and quasiradiant does a great job of capturing her in all her prickly-yet-vulnerable glory. This is set shortly after Ro's arrival on the Enterprise. She attracts the attention of Deanna Troi, who is interested in how Ro is getting along, and just plain interested. And if there's anyone on the ship who could use a friend, it's got to be Ro. Her conversation with Troi makes me so gosh darn happy, I can't even tell you. (Another thing that makes me happy: finding good femslash in this fandom!)
The lights in Ten Forward dim at least twenty percent, and she’s been on the Enterprise long enough to know that means a shift change. She thinks it might be Beta to Gamma, but she’d forgotten how time on a starship stretches and shrinks.
On Jaros II, she could watch the suns crawl lazily across the sky, could use the other inmates-cum-farmers as standing sundials. Could feel, she thought, the push-pull of the planet’s spin and tell the time even on cloudy days. And at night, of course, there was a sky full of stars and now-familiar constellations creeping steadily from north to south with the seasons.
But at warp, the stars are unreliable, and the deckplates vibrate at exactly the same frequency at oh-six-hundred as they do at twenty-three, and she never casts a shadow no matter how she stands. And she knows her combadge’ll chirp twenty-five minutes before she’s due on the Bridge, so she tries not to worry, tries to let herself wander, because if she doesn’t think too hard she might almost be happy here.

I can't remember and episode or even a moment when I liked Ro - to the point that I still can't enjoy anything else the actress does. I get an immediate gut-level turn-off.
