RATING/WARNING(S): Gen, no warnings
WIP?/WORD COUNT: 1,072
MAIN CHARACTERS: Data, Bashir, Riker, Troi

FIC SUMMARY: After meeting Kukalaka, Data decides to get a teddy bear of his own.

RECCER'S NOTES: Short, sweet, and very cute. This is the sort of story that can serve as an emotional reset if you've been doomscrollong and need to dwell on something nice for a few minutes.

RATING/WARNING(S): Rated M by the author. There's very little that might be objectionable here, IMO, but it really doesn't pull punches when it comes to how creepy and dangerous the Reavers are.
WIP?/WORD COUNT: 39,901, complete
MAIN CHARACTERS: Jean Luc Picard, Mal Reynolds, Q.

FIC SUMMARY: Captain Picard’s bad day just got a lot worse, courtesy of Q. Which is nothing compared to the day Malcolm Reynolds is about to have when River starts babbling about the kindly t’ien lung and his curious bunny rabbit... ST:TNG/Firefly crossover.

RECCER'S NOTES: This is an amazing story. I'm a pretty hard sell when it comes to crossovers between two space-based fandoms, but this works astonishingly well. It's a brilliant exploration of the Reavers, the Firefly universe, the Prime Directive (and the limits thereof), Q, and moral dilemmas. I loved every bit of it. It's mostly a Mal and Picard story (with bonus Q), but nearly all of the characters from both 'verses get a good showing in.

FIC LINK: All My Children
AUTHOR LINK: Tribal Graces
RATING/WARNING(S): T, no common content warnings apply
WIP?/WORD COUNT: 16,051, complete
MAIN CHARACTERS: Clare Raymond, Deanna Troi, OCs

FIC SUMMARY: Awake after nearly four centuries in cryogenic storage, Clare Raymond wants to find whoever is left of her own family. But this is the 24th century. How will she find them all? And what if they're not quite what she expects? Takes place after "The Neutral Zone" (season 1) and overlaps "Family" (season 4). Human, Andorian, & Vulcan OCs. About 95% canon friendly.

RECCER'S NOTES: This is my favorite type of ST fic: the one with original characters that takes place mostly outside of the classic episodic mold. The one that looks at how the ST universe would really work. The one that weaves together canon into something both familiar and original.

All My Children is a story about losing and finding family, about moving on and staying connected to the past. I've read it three times all the way through and I could read it three more times. And, bonus, I really don't think you need to be familiar with the source material to enjoy it. It's a perfectly little self-contained story all on its own.

RATING/WARNING(S): Teen | None
WIP?/WORD COUNT: Complete | ~1400 words
MAIN CHARACTERS: Guinan, Ro Laren

FIC SUMMARY: Guinan and Ro Laren's friendship: across timelines, worlds, and depths of memory.

RECCER'S NOTES: Star Trek has so many alien races yet so little fanfiction tries to understand an alien perspective. This short piece, written for the Rarewomen exchange, explores Guinan's perception of the universe via her relationship with another outsider, Ro Laren. Killer Quean comes up with an interesting possible answer to the question of what friendship might mean to a being who perceives alternate timelines. The piece's three parts overlay each other, using repetition to underscore the differences & similarities between the timelines. The final part is particularly strong, with the best description of assimilation I've read.
