One glance is enough to drag old grief, unfinished anger, and something far more dangerous back into the light - just as Jean-Luc Picard discovers that some feelings do not stay buried, no matter how fiercely they are denied.

Triage of Chaos by MercyHoward

Summary
On the Cerritos Beverly Crusher arrives for what should be a routine inspection, only to find herself knee-deep in sickbay disasters, T’Ana’s feral professionalism, Mariner’s unhelpful helpfulness, and a crew that treats “barely controlled chaos” like a department policy. Between accidental flirting, wounded pride, bizarre patients, and enough secondhand embarrassment to trigger a shipwide alert, the line between medical review and full-blown comedy disaster gets very thin. It’s a crossover where TNG grace collides headfirst with Lower Decks nonsense - and somehow the patient might be Starfleet itself.

Summary
In the silence of deep space, a single heartbeat changes everything. Beverly Crusher is grappling with a secret too heavy to hold and a love too fractured to trust. Jean-Luc Picard is unraveling — in duty, in pride, in the spaces where she once stood. When the past erupts into the present with fire and blood, choices must be made. Some will be too late. And some... may just rewrite everything.

Summary
In a world where diplomacy demands deception, Captain Jean-Luc Picard and Dr. Beverly Crusher step into a lie that exposes the fragile truths between them. Bound by protocol, forced to pretend what they’ve always buried, they navigate alien elegance, intimate proximity, and unhealed wounds. Beneath the surface of practiced poise lies a history too heavy to ignore—and a love too dangerous to name. As shadows of the past stir and new possibilities bloom in unexpected places, one truth becomes inescapable: pretending was never the problem. It's what happens when the pretending stops.
