i mean, is Jean even Rachel’s parent at all? On the one hand, yes, because Phoenix fully believed she was Jean (and so did everyone else) and based herself ON Jean (to the extent possible for a cosmic entity). On the other, no, because Phoenix was not actually Jean. Except, back to the first hand - YES, because Jean reabsorbed all of Phoenix’s memories/experiences which means that she basically experiences them AS HER OWN (arguably, depending on who is interpreting those X-Factor stories & Inferno). And then again, NO, because of timeline shenanigans; 616 Phoenix wasn’t 811 Phoenix so those memories/that selfhood doesn’t involve motherhood at all anyway. BUT … etc etc.
Also I just generally want a Rachel story that properly addresses Rachel’s experiences as Phoenix and how having had and lost (or in a less loaded phrasing, no longer having) that role/power/connection affects her life and sense of self now.
(I mean, while I’m asking for a pony, I want Rachel and Kitty to get together, and I kind of want Rachel to be the Phoenix again or part of it or something … but uh … I still remember what it was like for all those years when her character was “‘old and dead in a far future, goodbye to your favorite character forever LOL” so I guess I’ll count my blessings or whatever. I never expected to have her back AND canonically, textually queer.)
i think a good jean and rachel relationship-builder-story would have to unpack some of their different feelings about phoenix.

[Image ID: A full color pen illustration. Pictured from the shoulders up, from left to right, are Jim, Spanish Jackie, and Oluwande.
Jim is grinning and wiggling their thumb between their index and middle finger. A speech bubble above their head reads: “Jackie! Jackie, I got your nose.”
Jackie is laughing gleefully, her face turned to Oluwande. Her speech bubble reads: Pfft! This kid is hilarious!
Oluwande is looking off to the side away from the others, visibly resigned to the strange turn his life has taken.
His speech bubble reads: “You guys are friends now… Of course you are…”

actually it's SO funny because every antagonist who ever goes against sisko immediately becomes almost psychosexually obsessed with him. Dukat had several notebooks with little hearts and the name "Gul Dukat Sisko" scribbed in it. eddington compared them to valjean and javert, literature's greatest gaybait. solok wrote dozens of papers about sisko after one (1) sexually charged drunk wrestling match. benjamin sisko makes every man he comes in contact with go loco and that is canon
