Did I ever tell you guys my terrible idea for a Picard/Q fic where at some point post-Tapestry Q goes back in time to sort of admire pre-brush with death Johnny Picard in a bar somewhere like gosh, the 2327 Jean-Luc was a damn good year. Not a patch on the ‘69 but a vintage with its own charms all the same.

And then, because Q had actually appeared in human form instead of just lurking incorporeally, Johnny actually goes up to him and makes a pass at him and he’s like “!!! Wow okay”

Or depending on how creepy I want it to be, maybe he turns him down because it’s not his Jean-Luc after all. But either way he immediately goes back to the present like the cat who caught the canary being like oh Jean-Luc, remember when! It was oh so long ago but I remember it like it was microseconds ago. You were so young, so charming. The moon was full. Well it wasn’t at first, but I fixed that…

I don't know, but I like this idea. ;) And yeah, Academy!Jean-Luc would DEFINITELY hit on Q.

Omg. Q is a character I have a strong dislike for, but this sounds funny, actually.

I would be so there for that.

"but I fixed that…" PEAK Q

This would be gold. Picard would be mortified, beautifully.
