For @para-amour and any others looking for P/C fic recs

These are some of my fave fics and authors so far:

Spontaneity by theramblinrose, I love babyfic and this story Spontaneity has one of the most loving and in character birth scenes of a P/C child where they are both present that I've seen to date in fic. You can find it linked below.

Spontaneity by theramblinrose

Then there is Cave Baby by Mighty_Oak_Roots. Basically Beverly watching "her friend and captain" Jean Luc handling an infant in an emergency situation and enjoying both his discomfort and his caring nature towards the baby in equal measure, with some longing for what could be and a cute last scene that definitely is romantic and potential family P/C. It can be accessed at the link below.

Now for two novel length fics

I loved Snow Falling Softly by Mackillian. I read it last year and was invested from the start. Without giving too much away, if one likes the plot we have this season with Jack, this is similar but on an extra intense level in terms of emotion, complexity and dynamics. It's set during TNG and It also allows Wesley to react to the storyline and process his own emotions about not being an only child and the circumstances! Highly recommend. It is however over 500 or so pages when downloaded as an epub, so even online, it is an all weekend read, at least. Link is below.

Snow Falling Softly by Mackillian

I had barely started In The Depth of Winter by Mackillian last year when I got pulled away by stuff in another fandom. It is the sequel to Snow Falling Softly. It redoes All Good Things in a way that centers the fallout from Snow Falling Softly. It seems just as good so I am looking forward to finishing it. It is 700 pages in epub though so it may need two full weekends to read. Link can be found below

The Depth of Winter by Mackillian

I am also including this single chapter vignette In Paradisum by Mackillian because it is the sequel to The Depth of Winter. I have not read it yet but skimmed the first few lines and the writing seems on par with the two novels. You need to read them to understand this piece. Link to In Paradisum ready below

In Paradisum by Mackillian

Now for authors from whom I recommend reading everything they've written for the pairing:

I am absolutely loving everything I've read so far written for P/C by pktechgirlus. The style is spot on and very emotional while also at times being humorous and steamy. My favorite so far from this author is the story "Never And Always" but all I've read so far are incredible. Some are semi explicit, some are not (Warning, not all end happily) Here is the link to the author's TNG fics,

pktechgirlus's TNG Fics for P/C

There is also one for them from the Picard era which I love too, you can find that below

Vignette by pktechgirlus

And finally, the author I feel has the most solid, in character grasp on P/C in totality. @ussjellyfish. I adore reading their work because they understand the multi facets and deep humanity that is at the core of P/C. They can both perfectly write P/C playing on the holodeck, or saving each other from certain death even by committing violence in defense of the other or breaking laws/oaths. They keep P/C's love paramount, but also allow for mistakes to be made by each and vulnerability to be shown. Even the way they write physical intimacy between P/C feels like P/C and not "insert couple here" and I usually skip sex scenes now because I've been in so many fandoms that reading those scenes are a dime a dozen , but not those written by USSJellyfish, they actually make me care about seeing these characters enjoy each other.

They have both long novel length fics for P/C that are part of a series. and shorter one shot pieces.

The novel series starts with the fic Fair Trade and is several novel length fics long. I haven't finished the entire series yet but I am enthralled by what I have finished of it.

And some of my favorite shorter fics of theirs for P/C are Kindling and Lifeline, both are hurt/comfort fics of a sort. Kindling is explicit.

As I said though, I recommend reading all of their fics for P/C so I am putting a link that leads to all of their P/C fic below.

USSJellyfish's P/C Fics

(They also write Beverly/Kathryn fic, Beverly/Deanna fic, Riker/ Beverly fic, and other pairings on TNG, Fic for several parings on Discovery, and for several on Voyager including Chakotay/Paris and J/C. so much to read!)

Happy reading everyone, I hope this list was helpful!

just remembered that tgcf has actual honest-to-god canon sex pollen and I’m losing it. I’m going fucking insane. It wasn’t enough for Xie Lian’s power to be dependent on chastity as if he were a bodice-ripper heroine who could reform the evil demon king through the power of love, he had to actually get hit by sex pollen. He had to get hit by sex pollen in canon. As a thing that happened. On purpose. Who comes UP with that

#tgcf is…. truly indescribable #there’s even a spontaneous babyfication but #and a ‘there’s only one bed’ bit except the bed is a coffin #god. incredible. How can I ever top the experience of reading it for the first time #tgcf

Triple Frontier fic: Twice as Sweet

for day 29 of my hyggetober ficlet challenge. today’s prompt is “picnic.” currently taking bets on whether i will finish this october challenge by the end of january, lol.

Francisco “Catfish” Morales/gn!Reader, rated teen, 580 words. The continuing adventures of hot single dad Frankie Morales ™, which means it’s a) babyfic, b) soft and sweet and a little silly, and c) dedicated to @fleetwoodmactshirt. Contains some suggestive language, kissing, and references to food. Aaaaalso, this was entirely inspired by @ezrasarm‘s posts the other night about craving cuddles and carrot cake. Me too, babe.

  Frankie is staring out the window, frowning at the rain like it’s wronged him personally.

“Shit,” he mutters.

“‘It,” the baby mimics solemnly, from her spot at his feet. His head swivels down and then he glances back at you a little guiltily.

“She’s like a sponge,” he says ruefully. “Picking up every piece of vocabulary I don’t want her to learn.”

“She loves to copy you,” you point out. “Just think of all the good traits she’ll pick up.”

“That remains to be seen. She won’t even let me put a baseball cap on her,” he grumbles. You have to bite back a smile, remembering how her face had gone sour and she’d immediately snatched the hat off of her head, much to Frankie’s dismay. Graciously, he seems to have forgiven her for it by now. He leans down to pick her up and presses a kiss to her cheek, finally turning away from the window.

“My weather guy is on vacation this week,” he tells you. ‘His’ weather guy is the meteorologist for one of the local news stations and normally Frankie swears by his predictions. “I should have known not to trust the kid filling in for him.”

Frankie is usually pretty go with the flow so you’re not sure why he’s upset about the rain. “Did you have plans I don’t know about? I thought we were having a lazy day.”

He sighs. “I was trying to be cute and spontaneous and take you on a picnic.”

“Planned spontaneity? That is cute,” you tease him, and he laughs. The baby squirms in his arms and he flips her down to lay across his forearm so he can glide her back and forth in a lazy swinging motion.

“Alright,” he says. “I have a contingency plan.”

It’s one of those qualities you privately hope she’ll inherit from him, this predilection for contingencies.

Soon enough, you’re settled on the living room floor, backs against the front of the couch, with a cozy blanket wrapped around your shoulders and a bowl of popcorn shared between you. The baby is lolled on the carpet at your feet, wide eyes trained on the TV screen where you’ve got a Disney movie starting.

“Save room,” Frankie says, nodding to the snacks. “I’ve got dessert, too.”

“Dessert?” you ask suggestively, waggling your eyebrows for effect.

“Yeah, I—” He cuts himself off, catching up to your meaning, and smirks. “Well, yeah, that too, if you want, but I meant—I picked up some carrot cake from that bakery you like.”

“You did?” You lean in and press a kiss to his cheek, nuzzling against the soft, raspy brush of his facial hair. You sneak your hand up his back and work it into the shaggy hair above the base of his neck, giving him a gentle massage and enjoying how his face goes soft and content and his body relaxes into yours. “You’re so sweet I almost don’t need cake.”

“I’ll eat yours if you don’t want it,” he offers, all faux generosity, and you pull your face away just far enough to shoot him a disapproving frown.

“I said almost, honey. Don’t put words in my mouth.”

He gives you a sweet smile. “I’ll put something else in your mouth,” he murmurs.

“Yeah, you will,” you say with a sigh, turning your attention back to the TV screen and settling your head onto his shoulder. You tug lightly on a lock of his hair. “Cake.”
