the thing that Gets me about michael and ash’s relationship is that it is built on complete trust and almost perfect honesty. like for two people so deeply traumatised and hurt and with voq literally trying to kill michael and the impact that has on her, their relationship shouldn’t work. but it does because they have unshakeable faith in each other and (generally) don’t hide how they feel or what they’re struggling with and because they know exactly how much the other has been hurt and they always try to respond with empathy and patience. they are each others tether!!!!!!

#im particularly thinking about in 2x10 when michael lashes out at ash about her parent’s death and he later says #that she put her anger where she knew it would be okay #and also in 2x11 when ash tells michael about voq’s son and she says she wished he’d told her sooner so he wouldn’t have to carry it alone #there are so many moments in the show where they could choose to hide things and not communicate but they never do #and throughout s2 generally whenever someone casts doubt on michael/ash the other never wavers in their trust of them for a Second #its soooooooo good #star trek discovery #ashburn #michael burnham #ash tyler #disco rewatch
