A summary of the canon: A prequel to the Star Trek of the 60s, set about ten years before. Michael is Spock's adopted sister, who makes a mistake, then works her way up from prisoner to Captain of a starship. Seasons 1-2 are in the past, season 3-5 are in the far future, 900 years later in the 32nd century. Michael and her crew try to make the galaxy a better place. Laira is the president of the United Federation of Planets, an interplanetary alliance.
Laira and Michael are both in season 4 together. Michael is the star of the show so she's in all the rest.
What do you love about this ship/these ships?: They start out at professional odds with each other and slowly build their respect for each other's skills. They trust each other under dire circumstances and work together to save the galaxy and learn to communicate with a very alien species. There's so much mutual respect between the two of them, and it's fun to watch.
What sort of things are you likely to request for it?: Domestic things. Mission fic. I'm very easy to please, I love it when they talk to each other, or make out, or have to attend fancy parties or deal with diplomats or sneak a meeting between all the other meetings. They have very busy important positions but they could definitely make it work. There's so much potential between them. I would request soft things.
Content warnings: Flashing lights. A few instances of cannibalism, some gore, torture, sex of dubious consent (in season 1). Season 4 has flashing lights, a few instances of violence.
