Sometimes, it's nice to take a break from writing your own novellas and go back to your roots. For me, that's fanfiction. Please enjoy chapter 1 of my latest fanfic about Q from Star Trek. Click here if you want to finish the story. Choosing Love Summary:Before the events of Star Trek: Picard season 2, Q met the love of his life in Rose Carter. Will Q let her join him on his mission to ensure Picard has the same opportunity to find love that Q has found with her? This is not 100% canon compliant. QxOC Chapter 1 Rose was sitting on her sofa when Q appeared, “It’s been a while. I was starting to wonder if you were ever coming back,” she pouted as she patted the spot next to her. “I’m quite sorry, my dear,” he replied as he sat down, pulling her into his arms, “You know that I have many things to do across the galaxy,” he explained. She nodded against his chest, “I know, but I miss you so much while you’re gone. Can I come with you next time?” she questioned while trailing her fingers along his chest. Q laughed softly, “You want to join me on my next adventure? I’m not sure that would be an excellent idea. Would you be able to control yourself?” “What do you mean?” she innocently asked as her hand moved from his chest to his upper thigh. Her eyes were sparkling mischievously, “I am perfectly capable of keeping my hands to myself when necessary. As long as we’re both referring to the same thing.” He removed her from his hold, shifting her onto his lap, “I’m not sure you’re doing yourself any favors with your actions. You’ve already started something that could never occur while we’re on a mission,” he stated, rolling his hips to make his point. Rose climbed from his lap and took a seat across the sofa to prove herself, “I am perfectly capable of not touching you. I’ll start right now just to show you how serious I am.” It was Q’s turn to pout as he moved closer to her, placing a kiss on her shoulder, “I certainly did not mean that you have to start now. If you truly wish to join me then you are welcome to. We’ll be on our way to see a very old friend of mine tomorrow morning.” He moved his attention to her jaw as he trailed kisses until he reached her lips, “Until then, you are all mine.” He took her lips with his own as she moved back onto his lap, straddling him, smiling against his lips. The following morning, Q woke Rose so they could begin their adventure together. He was looking forward to this mission for more than one reason. “Are you ready, my love?” he asked, unable to hide his excitement. Rose nodded with a warm smile. With that, Q snapped his fingers and suddenly Rose found herself by his side in someone’s home. “Where are we?” she asked, only slightly disoriented. Before Q could respond, another voice interrupted. “Q? What the hell have you done?” the older, bald man questioned, his tone filled with annoyance. “ Mon Capitaine, how are you, old friend?” Q replied warmly. He turned to Rose, “My darling, this is Captain Jean Luc Picard.” “Wow, you’re a legend,” Rose stated in awe. Picard shook his head, pinching the bridge of his nose, “Q, who is this that you’ve brought with you?” “Apologies, Jean Luc,” Q began, gesturing to Rose, “This is Rose Carter. She is the love of my life. That is something you’ve never experienced and I am here to change that. You have one more trial to endure. Welcome to the very end of the road not taken.” Picard sighed as the Q snapped again moving the three of them outside revealing to Rose that she was at a vineyard. “Q,” Picard began, frustration heavy in his tone, “I don’t have time for this. Where is the Stargazer? I was about to die to save the Federation from the Borg.” Q sighed, “The Stargazer is the very least of your concern, Jean Luc. This world is on its last leg, as are you, my friend. You’ve reached the end and this is your last chance.” “You look unwell, Q,” Picard commented, “Is this truly about me or is there something deeper going on with you?” Rose noticed the way Q reacted to Picard’s words and she was unable to focus on anything else either man said. Before she knew it, she was in another home with Q. Picard was no longer with them and her heart was heavy with concern. A/N: There's a playlist too if you're interested
