Grace in a Vacuum by Marcelo. Stargate Atlantis with Q. Rodney McKay goes through a gate and ends up in a completely deserted Atlantis, with bizarre hallucinations as his only companions... except, of course, they're not hallucinations at all. Rated PG. Recced.

In A Galaxy Where No Man Has Gone Before by Merfilly. Star Wars/TNG, explicit slash. Q isn't exactly in this -- it's a Picard/Qui-Gon Jinn fic -- but the story is more or less a sequel (though it was written first) to Merfilly's "Misunderstandings", recced below, and Picard's backstory with Q is one of the drivers of the plot. Contains explicit consensual m/m sex and implied rape. Rated NC-17.

Information Indiscretions by Anya. TNG/Hitchhiker's Guide. Q is only a minor character in this one. Data meets Marvin from Hitchhiker's and becomes infatuated. Strongly implied P/Q relationship but the entire story is PG-rated.

Colorblind: by Duck. TNG/Firefly. River follows a Crow to the TNG universe, where she learns that she is much more sane out of her home 'verse but much less powerful, and that Crow's other name is Q. PG. Recced.

I Shall Be Made Thy Music by Andraste. TNG/Battlestar Galactica (new). God shows up and offers Gaius Baltar a chance to undo his terrible mistake... at a possible price. Gaius isn't quite sure this is actually God, though. PG. Recced.

In The Shadows by Eren. TNG/Babylon 5. In a universe where a very, very dark version of Jean-Luc Picard is Emperor, courtesy of Q, Lyta Alexander is trying to find a way home... but unfortunately finds Picard first. Picard/Q, though not exactly "our" Picard. Dark, non-explicit torture. Rated R. Recced.

There Is Nothing Like The Truth of the Fool: by Leyenn. TNG/Babylon 5. Before the coming of the Shadows, Morden meets Q in a dream. PG-13. Recced.

Res-Q by Astrogirl. TNG/Farscape. Q finds John Crichton too entertaining to let him stay dead. Humor. PG. Recced.

Meddeling: by Nemesis. TNG/Doctor Who. Milan is burning and the Doctor runs into someone who's as out of place as he is. PG.

Human: Icarus_Chained (aka one of the trio of "Slightly Sinister Sinestra" on fanfiction.net.) This one's my favorite, but we all know my obsessions. Q explains to Picard why yes, being human *was* that bad. Rather angsty. Established relationship for Picard and Q. Rated PG.

A Far Distant Star: Icarus_Chained. Angst *and* schmoop, but in a relatively in-character way. Q accidentally harms Troi while trying to help her improve her mental shields, and the solution must involve Picard learning things about Q that Q would rather keep to himself. The ending gets a little soppy for my taste, but the author acknowledges she was kind of young when she wrote it. Rated PG-13.

Thank You: Icarus_Chained. The meaning of the words "thank you" to Q. Established relationship for Picard and Q. Has Q telling stories about his past, which is always a winner with me. Rated PG.

Eternity: Icarus_Chained. "I have written you into the heart of stars, mon capitaine..." Rather overblown for my taste, but I like my P/Q very understated; I think this will appeal to anyone who likes Varoneeka, for instance. Rated PG.

Fair Maiden's Honour: Slightly Sinister Sinestra, aka Icarus_Chained. Q shows up, darker and crueler than he has ever been, and threatens to rape Picard. And then Picard figures out it's not "his" Q, right before the real Q shows up to stop him. Incomplete, P/Q is implied but more of a pre-P/Q. Rated R, attempted rape.

Only Once: Sasha_Anu. Prompt: Picard/Q, "only once". Picard tricks Q... or does he? Rated PG-13. Sasha_Anu tends to write an almost antagonistic Picard/Q, perhaps not reciprocated on Picard's part, or perhaps it is.

Infatuation: Sasha_Anu. Picard figures something out. Q does not like the end result. Rated PG-13.

Sweet Dreams: Sasha_Anu. Written for the Porn Battle, prompt: "dreams." Rated R.


Misunderstanding : Merfilly. Dark and painful. Q screws up, majorly. Rated R, non-con. Is a prequel to a Picard/Qui-Gon Jinn crossover pairing fic from Multiverse.

Games: Jen. Q watches Jean-Luc and Beverly play chess.
