Data and Lore attend a conference on earth. Data learns Lore has been keeping a secret

"They say that a child born into a burning house thinks the whole world is on fire, and I'm sorry that I was the reason that the world was on fire for you, even if it was only for a short time." Jean-Luc spends time with baby Wesley, trying to reconcile his guilt over the traumatic birth while helping an overwhelmed Beverly part two (requires reading part one to be understood)

"I am begging you to do this because it's the only way to save my child. To save my child and myself. Jean-Luc if you have ever loved me, even for a second, you will do what I am asking of you." Based on the canon fact that Jean-Luc was present for Wesley's birth: Jean-Luc and Beverly are stranded alone at the Chateau when she goes into labor. (part one)

She could handle sharing a room with him. She could handle sharing a bed with him. But the explicit sounds from the next room over? She was sure that three days of that at a Starfleet conference was going to break her. And it did. (screams in 'there was only one bed')

My 1st ever fanfic/posting - please be honest, but kind. She had searched for a new place in the universe. Endured years at the academy. She'd finally got a posting on the NCC-1701-D. Would they find out who she really was? What would it mean for her/Starfleet? Includes alchemy/sorcery/dark subject matter. Picard as judge. How will they impact a small, seemingly peaceful planet?

"I am a woman of science, Jean-Luc, and yet I prayed over your graying skin. I offered God anything to save you, knowing I had nothing He could've wanted in return." After Admiral Satie blames the Captain for the battle of Wolf 359, Beverly and Jean-Luc share an emotional reflective moment together.

Beverly Crusher's past choices come back to haunt her and some other members of the enterprise crew. When confronted with the inevitable, what will she do? And how will others react?

A story told in many parts of Soong and of Lore, of Juliana and (eventually) of Data's lost childhood with the family he never knew... Act II: In the aftermath of Soong's trial, Soong and Juliana work to reconstruct their lives, a new family, but what of Lore? Can he learn to build a life of his own, or has traumatic input altered his perception of human ethics...of reality itself?

Adam, an augmented human and Romulan hybrid, initially created as an engineering spy, rebels after the death of his sister during a ruthless experiment. Determined to wreak havoc on his creators, he steals Romulan technology and sets out to destroy the facility that birthed his existence. Fleeing to the Federation, the very place he was assigned to destroy, Adam seeks refuge and po

Captain Jean-Luc Picard and his crew believed their old ship was lost, after the Battle of Veridian 3, where they stopped Dr Soran from destroying the solar system. But now, they're getting a surprise. A series of connected one-shots.

Dr. Soong made a mechanical vampire; a machine that ran on human blood. But Geordi wasn't frightened- rather the opposite, actually.

To prove a point, Q makes Data human. The consequences are disastrous.

Will Riker gave up on the 'soulmate' quest long ago. Why bother? Most humans never find their 'particular other'- and he's never heard of anyone with so strange a name as 'Data', anyway. Then, he is promoted: First Officer on the newly completed Enterprise-D. A whole new world of opportunity. And a whole new crew to meet, too.

Who was Jason Vigo's real father? An alternate ending to the TNG episode Bloodlines. This dangling thread would have been an interesting twist to Picard Season 3.

Q's exist, beings of high intelligence and higher dimensional understanding. What if there's more than just them? (Inspired by: CONTROL. I decided against a full crossover.)

I remember Gates said in an interview how she wished they wrote her pregnancy in the show and I thought "I wonder how that would have gone". This takes place during S3-S4 and starts from the episode Allegiance. What if Beverly didn't leave that night? It is very TNG-esque. I wanted to keep it traditional in that manner.

"Love, the giving and taking, has no master, it simply happens without consideration of consequences. The act of love isn't a choice, the way one choses to navigate within love is." **Post Picard, Season 3, includes all seasons of TNG; See Author's notes; Characters/Ratings will adjust as necessary**

Picard, Riker and Crusher consider the ominous alternative timeline and time periods Picard visited. Spoilers for 'All good things.."

The Nexus made sure that all your dreams really did come true.

Data has a proposition for Geordi.

Starting a relationship is easy; maintaining one takes work. This is the 3rd novel-length book in the CRUSHverse. Strong T over all, individual chapters may be M. ***This is a close-canon AU.*** Follows CRUSH II: Ostenato, UNACCOMPANIED: A Suite for Actress & Android, and Bedtime Story. Data/Zoe.

Set in an AU, a year into the Dominion war things are looking dark for the Alpha quadrant. A legend from the Federations past may have the answers to its future with a radical plan.

Jean-Luc is called to sickbay on Beverly's behalf, and he has no idea the reason. I always rate high for discussion topics, etc.

Jean-Luc and Beverly find themselves in a dangerous and potentially tragic situation, but Jean-Luc remains hopeful that it's just a matter of time before they're rescued.

This is the continuation of Fanning the Flames; please read that first.
