Summary
The year is 2391. An abandoned, damaged Borg sphere dated from the Species 8472 War has been found spat out of a wormhole near the Alpha/Gamma Quadrant border, filled with nearly 3,000 dormant drones in need of a home. While Starfleet wants to know how it got there, its ally, the Liberated Borg Cooperation's Reclamation Project, has the experience and knowledge to help get the six-month investigation (and reclamation) job done. When Starfleet's chosen project lead is master engineer Geordi La Forge, what could go wrong when his Reclamation Project co-manager is Executive Director Hugh: the same xB of Liberated Borg renown?
This is an adventure spanning three acts: delving into what secrets the Borg Collective could hold, and what their reaped actions could sew throughout the galaxy. It's also an exercise in worldbuilding: what a former Borg (xB) society might look like, and what a society rooted in the celebration of transhumanism could be.
But most of all, Through the Eye of a Needle is a love story of healing through reconnection in unlikely places: how leaving a comfort zone can be scary, but we're all the more beautiful for going forward— to be the best version of ourselves, hand in hand with another.

Summary
They’ve always been so in sync, comfortable in each other’s space. Their bodies curve together, established patterns of whose arm goes where when they cuddle. Familiar routines of casual touch that Hugh never thought about much, before. It felt right, and that’s all he needed to know.
Now, there’s something unsettling even if he can’t articulate it. This body is new, pristine, unmarred by the thousand little scrapes and bruises and love bites accumulated over four decades. Doctor Pollard pronounces it with an almost awed excitement, but for Hugh there’s nothing about it to celebrate.
Paul touches him now, with a caress that he should want to lean into, but it’s all he can do not to shrink away.
It feels wrong.
This body doesn’t know Paul.
Detailed canon-compliant expansion of Paul and Hugh's story, from “Saints of Imperfection” to post-Season 2, re-learning themselves and each other. Told from Hugh's perspective, with a heavy dose of backstory.
Minor canon divergence from the beginning of Season Three.

Summary
Starfleet officers in good standing would rarely tread in seedy backwaters like this. Places where sitting in a corner and revealing a bit of cleavage is an invitation for patrons to try their luck and see if she’s free for the night.
And if the person is pretty, if their teeth aren’t too sharp and their eyes aren’t too soft, she just might be.
Updated with an epilogue, enjoy!

Summary
Canon-divergent from 1x14 "The War Without, The War Within".
She should be over him by now, and by right, he should be over her, too. But there’s something primal inside her that doesn’t want them to be. A tight grip holding on to the thread binding them together, believing it’s a bond built to last, one that doesn’t run, doesn’t slip.
Takes place after Wait to Watch Us Fall and Your Voice Still Sounds Like Home, but can be read independently.

Summary
This is the story of how Paul Stamets falls in love with Hugh Culber. It all starts with a chance meeting in a café on Alpha Centauri. It doesn't go smoothly from there though. Mainly because Paul doesn't know how to do romance and feelings and stuff, and because Hugh cares too much about others and maybe not enough about himself.
