Wilson's knowing look says that he, too, knows this isn't really about House's impatience, or him fighting for control.
This is House begging Wilson to take the control away.
Or simply put: House and Wilson fuck.

Summary
Even though Jean-Luc opens only in bursts and starts, small fractions, Jean-Luc’s hands are kind. If they touch Q, they are always painfully concerned with earnestness.
Pleasure is easy to find. To be held between hands like these is not.

Summary
It all starts with Q forcing Picard to spend some time with him. One hour, each night. Q is certain this bit of social engineering will make them the fastest of friends, but Picard thinks differently, as usual.
Expect realism and angst, but a satisfying ending. Takes place after TNG, only accounts for TNG canon.
Note: Originally published 08/2014, updated in 11/2020 from chapter 9 onward.

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
It feels like he should already know what he’ll be doing for their first anniversary. They’ve known each other for so long that it seems strange to celebrate a simple shift in their relationship. But Julian wants to, because they did so much dancing around one another that he figures they deserve it. And, moreover, he delights in surprising Garak.
[AKA the one about fruit, love, and moving into the complicated future with care and commitment]

Summary
Though part of a series, this may be read as a stand-alone piece.
Bashir and Garak attend a Cardassian-style cocktail party, and Bashir is put on the spot when several guests expect him to produce Terran literary recommendations on demand. Bashir takes it upon himself to rewrite one of his favourite poems, pulling Garak into a rather unconventional revision process.
Poetry, heavy-handed allegory, and sex abound.
Small content and copy editing completed 3 March 2016.

Summary
The chair in front of Ro’s desk is taken, and its occupant is observing Kira with an air of mild amusement. An elderly woman, a Romulan with bronze skin and grey hair in a bowl cut, wearing roughly replicated clothing. She clutches a metallic cane with a wooden handle. But it’s her penetrating gaze that makes Kira hold her breath with recognition.
“You’re alive,” Kira whispers, hearing her own voice as if it’s coming from a place far away.
The unexpected return of Kimara Cretak brings the question of the Romulan refugees on DS9.
