My fic for the Into a Bar crossover event is live! Has actually been live for a couple months! Gideon Nav walks into a bar and meets . . . Deanna Troi!

I had a lot of fun writing this one. When I started, I thought it would be somewhere around 1,500 words. The final product is double that! So I guess it kinda got away from me a bit. I knew from the start that the “bar” in question would be Ten Forward, and the idea to put it in the middle of the River and have Gideon present her own influence on it was a natural choice.

So here it is, Gideon and Deanna bonding time, featuring a bar I lovingly dubbed Nine Backward. Click the title below to read it on AO3!

TITLE: Welcome to Hell, also known as Nine Backward
FANDOMS: The Locked Tomb, Star Trek: The Next Generation
SUMMARY: With the newfound mind behind those eyes—golden like a class M star—all she did was inhale and exhale as though resurfacing from underwater. In that breath, Deanna understood three things:
One: she was the influence on Ten Forward’s horrific, dreamlike changes.
Two: Deanna was here to help her.
Three: She was incredibly, incredibly troubled.

I found this prompt-meme via the Yuletide Discord server, which is where I find a lot of the exchanges I participate in. Someone had asked about a drabble meme, and someone else was running a drabble meme even though it wasn’t the original one searched for. I was curious, so I checked it out.

About five drabbles is what I had the energy to write. Though I loved looking through the prompts and reading the drabbles written for them! I wrote for the prompts that inspired me, and I received a drabble in response!

It wasn’t until later in May that I realized there was an AO3 collection of all the drabbles. So I added all of mine in a single day. Apologies to the people who subscribe to my AO3, if you’re seeing this. I know I probably write a bunch more than what you expected initially. This is me sending love and I hope my fic helps you read something unexpected. <3

Until next time, keep on drabbling!
