Q wants to teach Jean-Luc a little something about love. (From Episode 4.20, "Qpid")

Drabble. Seek, and thou shalt find… even if there is no "thou". [Reposted because my more in-depth treatment of this theme didn't work out - and also as a demonstration for my Mischmasch 2024 forum.]

History records that in the winter of 2372, the Klingon Empire invaded the Federation due to the Founders' manipulations. War was avoided by the combination of exposing such an act, sporadic ceasefires and negotiations until the Cardassian Union joined the Dominion the following year. This is the story where some saw no need for negotiation and thus, Armageddon began.

'One more thing', he added. 'If we're going to talk about this, we leave the ranks at the door. Agreed' - Takes place after "The Next Phase". Ro is dying to find out what Riker was going to say at her funeral, so she confronts him and they talk it out.

Crushverse Data/Zoe Holiday: During Zoe's sophomore year at Yale, Julianna Soong sends her a chanukiah.

During the events of the episode "The Next Phase", Ro remembers the mission on Garon II that resulted in her court-martial.

Life is too short for secrets. ("From Episode 4.22, "Half a Life")

The year is 2380. Invaders from the Triangulum galaxy have managed to cross the intergalactic void in much the same way the Enterprise D did with the help of The Traveler. They are here to annihilate all humans. Although their motives on not clear at first, they have a very good reason.

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.

Beverly won't forget the things that matter most to her, no matter her reality. (From Episode 4.5, "Remember Me")

They hadn't planned for their first Christmas to go this way, but Jean-Luc wouldn't have changed it for the world. Rated for innuendo, just in case.

The crew of the Enterprise are invited to a holodeck murder mystery birthday party in honour of Data. Everyone is thrilled about to spend shore leave engaged in a thrilling mystery. It soon becomes apparent things are not quite what they seem. Something about this mysterious, omnipotent Butler has Jean-Luc on edge. Features the whole TNG gang and Q, Lore, and Lwaxana Troi.

Wesley must face himself when he has no inhibitions to hold himself back.

Deanna's smile grew at the endearment and, after a moment of thought to remember the proper words, said in hesitant Klingon, "jIHvaD Saw."

While on a mission to save a planet from an environmental disaster, the Enterprise crew receive an unexpected visitor in the form of a man claiming to be a time traveller from the future, but is there more to him than meets the eye?

Maybe we should be afraid, she says, but maybe what she means is, I'll ruin this. [For Trektober 2023, 21: Pining]

Consecutive Normal Punches... from a Galaxy-class starship.

Picard/Crusher. "It had been a minor indiscretion. That was all. She'd told herself a few dozen times that it had meant nothing. It was just the giving in to a desire. It was just a minor indiscretion. They both knew that it hadn't meant a thing—it couldn't mean a thing." Rated for discussed situations (thought I'm terrible at ratings).

She had the distinct feeling that they'd been here before. (From Episode 5.18, "Cause and Effect")

She'd accused him of being jealous. She was right, but not entirely. What he'd felt had been so much more than mere jealousy. (From Episode 7.14, "Sub Rosa")

Jean-Luc fears he might lose everything, and he realizes what truly matters most to him. (From Episode 1.4, "The Last Outpost")

Jean-Luc is home on leave, and Beverly has a few surprises for him.

They couldn't pretend that the feelings hadn't been there before. It was only that, this time, they wouldn't be denied. (From Episode 1.2 "The Naked Now")

Beverly doesn't want Jean-Luc to have regrets. (From Episode 3.23 "Sarek")

Missing scenes from CharlieFenwick's "The Complication". Data/Tasha fluff and romance. Starts during "The Naked Now" with the polywater incident as their relationship develops. Can stand alone but I encourage you to read "The Complication" as well.
