kira/odo/quark is potentially the funniest poly relationship
"i'm nerys and this is my boyfriend odo and that's odo's boyfriend quark. i can't stand him. no, odo kinda can't stand him either" (quark shouting from across the room: IT'S MUTUAL <3)
"we saw you across the bar and we hate your vibe. but he still wants you for some reason."
i made a quick diagram
METAMOURS WITH CONSEQUENCES
8. "So when you see the other two Kirks disappear it’s because Kirk has figured out who he is. He is Generations Kirk. These other shadows or echoes of him are real, in the sense that they existed and they’re part of who he is. But it is something like, ‘No, I’m not living in these different times. I’m living in the now, this now.’"
7. "And maybe Spock has set this whole thing up because he is Spock and he thinks seven-dimensionally."
6. "The idea is that Spock was not necessarily expecting this, but was hoping for this."
5. "Our interpretation is that Spock kept that [Kirk's] badge and brought it to the Kelvin timeline"
4. "... but it comes from Spock holding onto it all the way to the end. The implication is clear, Spock wants to see Kirk."
3. “Spock is about to die and whether Kirk is physically there or not, he doesn’t go out alone. They are there together."
2. “He [Kirk] doesn’t even really care, he just knows that Spock is there and dying. He could feel it. That was always the intent.”

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine // S06E14: One Little Ship
I know the whole "we would find each other in any universe" has kind of exited the trend cycle but I cannot stress enough that this is Kirk and Spock. Canonically
Within the star trek canon there are at minimum three separate timelines in which they found each other. If you even care
tos jim kirk is very funny to me because he is so bad with children. you'd think he'd be good with them, but he isn't. i think he probably likes them well enough, he just. doesn't know how to talk to them. not one bit. has no idea how to interact. kids can tell he's trying, but he's bad enough at it that they don't really like him more for it. type of guy who you'd hand a baby to, and he'd hold it out in front of him with stiff arms. like, um. what do i do with this. he could be coached on proper holding technique, but he'd still look visibly uncomfortable the whole time.
tos spock is Not Much Better. i think that he feels more clueless around kids than kirk does, but kids also like him more. he doesn't have it in him to be mean to a child ever, so all the awkward kids adore him, and he spends the whole time with them sending desperate looks to other crew members, being like, 'help, i am ill equipped for childcare' and everyone around him is like, 'nooo, you're doing great!!!' while the child has a blast and he is wishing desperately to be Anywhere Else. however, he does refuse care of babies. somehow, he is even worse with babies than jim is.
bones, though - he's a kid guy. he loves kids and babies. he adores them, they adore him, it's a win win. and he looks over at kirk and spock Struggling and he laughs and laughs and laughs. (the kids, of course, think this is hilarious, and they join in on making fun of kirk and spock, even if they don't really know what they're making fun of them for.)
Meanwhile Picard is terrified of children, but pretty alright with them.
every time i see someone call kirk and spock the oldest ship, i'm filled with the urge to go "hmm actually the holmes and watson girlies have been here for a hundred years now", and i refrain because i know the natural conclusion of this game is gilgamesh and enkidu
