The Sequel Meme

There's still one pairing left unguessed from the OTP meme! A hint: it's an older book fandom.

In the meantime, another meme I spotted weeks ago at jinxed_wood's journal:

Comment with a story I've written, and I'll tell you about its unwritten sequel.

My current fic are-- well, in several places, but best organized for perusal at my website, here. Anything's up for question except for my few massive WIPs; you know which ones those are.

*grin* That one was a one-off fic request for a friend; it was fun to do, as their dialogue pretty much wrote itself, but I haven't thought much about it since.

I was picturing a post-Nemesis setting when I wrote it (though I didn't verify the timeline with Riker's status in the ENT episode I referenced, oops). Any sequel would probably be another interlude with them several years more down the line, from Q's point of view. Foreground another light conversation about-- something or other; that's just scene-setting, not the important part-- over Q's thoughts about Picard's mortality, obstacles past and future, his plans, etc. Overall mood would resolve into something serious-but-positive.

(I have a tendency to get think-y when I do pairing fic, rather than porn-y, you may have noticed).

Capturing the Q POV would be the hardest part, I think; covering both the good-intentions part of him, and that ruthless really alien nearly-omniscient side that tends to piss Picard off but is nonetheless an essential piece of his makeup.
