    Summary

    The year is 2391. An abandoned, damaged Borg sphere dated from the Species 8472 War has been found spat out of a wormhole near the Alpha/Gamma Quadrant border, filled with nearly 3,000 dormant drones in need of a home. While Starfleet wants to know how it got there, its ally, the Liberated Borg Cooperation's Reclamation Project, has the experience and knowledge to help get the six-month investigation (and reclamation) job done. When Starfleet's chosen project lead is master engineer Geordi La Forge, what could go wrong when his Reclamation Project co-manager is Executive Director Hugh: the same xB of Liberated Borg renown?

    This is an adventure spanning three acts: delving into what secrets the Borg Collective could hold, and what their reaped actions could sew throughout the galaxy. It's also an exercise in worldbuilding: what a former Borg (xB) society might look like, and what a society rooted in the celebration of transhumanism could be.

    But most of all, Through the Eye of a Needle is a love story of healing through reconnection in unlikely places: how leaving a comfort zone can be scary, but we're all the more beautiful for going forward— to be the best version of ourselves, hand in hand with another.

    Summary

    They’ve always been so in sync, comfortable in each other’s space. Their bodies curve together, established patterns of whose arm goes where when they cuddle. Familiar routines of casual touch that Hugh never thought about much, before. It felt right, and that’s all he needed to know.

    Now, there’s something unsettling even if he can’t articulate it. This body is new, pristine, unmarred by the thousand little scrapes and bruises and love bites accumulated over four decades. Doctor Pollard pronounces it with an almost awed excitement, but for Hugh there’s nothing about it to celebrate.

    Paul touches him now, with a caress that he should want to lean into, but it’s all he can do not to shrink away.

    It feels wrong.

    This body doesn’t know Paul.

    Detailed canon-compliant expansion of Paul and Hugh's story, from “Saints of Imperfection” to post-Season 2, re-learning themselves and each other. Told from Hugh's perspective, with a heavy dose of backstory.

    Minor canon divergence from the beginning of Season Three.
