Week Eight TNG response.
Title: The Closest Thing to a Friend
Captain: Picard
Characters/Pairings: P&Q
Author's Notes/Disclaimer: This is one take on what could have happened if Q hadn't regained his powers during Deja Q. As usual, Paramount owns them, and I mentally torture them for free. (And fun.)


THE CLOSEST THING TO A FRIEND
by jm

"Here are your orders."

A PADD was handed to him, its contents a mystery. How the mighty had fallen. He responded with bitterness, "What makes you think I'll follow them?" Like I have any choice.

"It's in your best interests. You cannot stay. It isn't healthy. And you're a distraction. There are people who can help there; give you what you need."

Can they make me Q again? Make you care and let me stay?

---

On the shuttlecraft ride over, the PADD lay at his feet, discarded. But the handwritten note from his Capitaine remained clutched in his fist, unread.

Yeah, especially since I seem to enjoy him suffering. ;-) Thanks for reading. Oh, and I absolutely adore your icon! You always make such lovely ones. :-)

Poor Q. Powerful emotion in just a few words. Good job, jm.

Thank you! I find drabbles rather difficult because of their very brief nature, but occasionally it works out for me. Plus it's good practice. :-)
