Summary
Jean-Luc Picard stared at his face in the mirror. The dark circles under his eyes were unusually pronounced, likely a result of the harrowing missions of the past week. They were over now, and Picard was happy to coast through space at low warp doing nothing of interest. Unfortunately for him, interest seemed to follow Picard like a stray cat who had gotten attached to him through no fault of his own.
Suddenly, there was a loud shimmering pop, a thud, then the sound of coughing. It took a couple seconds for Picard’s brain to process what had happened, though most of them involved the stages of grief. Picard sighed, then moved to exit the washroom.
The doors slid open to reveal his quarters, now occupied by a tall figure laying on the floor in the fetal position. He was naked, shivering violently and coughing at irregular intervals.
“Interest,” thought Picard, “thy name is Q."
Q is human and sick. Picard is tired. Shenanigans ensue.
(Second chapter is fanart by me!)

Summary
Based on "A Trekkie's Tale" by Paula Smith, 1974. Originally published in "The Menagerie".
Mary Sue, 15.5 year old prodigy and the youngest Lieutenant in the fleet. Mary Sue, paragon of virtue and beloved by all. Mary Sue, the perfect fusion of logic and emotion.
It takes a lot of work to keep up that façade, but Mary Sue is up to the challenge. She is sure to follow the path that she lays out for herself, no matter how much others have to sacrifice to keep her on her way.
And yet, in the end, it all collapses. Hubris, her killer.
"Bugger," thought Mary Sue.

Summary
Sisko stopped pacing and leaned over his desk, his hands curled into fists as they rested on the surface, and he met Richard’s eyes.
“Well maybe you should have thought about that before you had him undergo unnecessary illegal genetic engineering just so he could fit into some arbitrary box the pair of you decided to label as 'normal'.”
We saw Miles' reaction to Julian's secret, but what was Sisko's reaction? Some missing scenes from 'Doctor Bashir, I Presume'
