this site really hates people with ocd

“reblog this or you don’t support minorities!” “if you don’t reblog this then all of your followers should hate you!” “if you have a bad thought then you actually think that way and you’re a horrible person!” “you can only like ‘good’ things and if you like something ‘bad’ then you’re awful!” i am going to throttle you with my bare hands

SOONER OR LATER

Picard: Q?

Q: Yes, mon capitaine? *reaches out and strokes Picard's face*

Picard: I have a question to ask you.

Q *grins mischievously*: Oh? Do ask. Let me guess! You want to know what the composition of Time itself is. Where the first Q came from. Or perhaps, what I liked to do as a child of the Continuum.

Picard *shakes his head and smiles softly*: No.

Q: No? Well, you've certainly picked my omniscient brain enough over these past three years. I relish showing you everything.

Picard *shifts his body in Q's embrace*: I've learned a lot. And yet I've only just begun.

Q: This is true. But, what is this serious question you have pressing and burgeoning in your mind, Jean-Luc? I'm always delighted by your curiosity.

Picard *pauses for a minute and caresses Q's face with the back of his fingers* :

Q, is that offer of eternity still good?

Q *gasps slightly*

Picard:

Q *blinks, his eyes filling with tears and utter joy* : Always, Jean-Luc.

For as omniscient of an entity as Q was, he was surprised at Picard's question.

And yet somehow he wasn't. He expected it. The trouble was that he didn't quite know when his dream of hearing his Favorite's acceptance of sharing eternity would come true.

He knew Picard would eventually accept his proposal.

What did years, centuries, and aeons of waiting matter to Q?

Jean-Luc accepted.

*Nurses gossiping in the background* "There is one thing I still don't get... Why does the New Order always send a transport to pick them up in the end of their shift? They still don't trust Dr. Bashir? They are so tired and yet Order always wants them for some reason... Interrogations again? Is it fair?" "Oh dear... You have so much to learn about them and Garak in particular..." Fragments under the cut
