Title: Congratulations, Counselor, it's a Boy
Author: beatrice_otter
Word Count: 100
Fandom: BtVS/Star Trek: The Next Generation
Challenge: #72: Forgotten and Remembered
Notes: ends during the TNG episode The Child, in which an alien energy being impregnates Counselor Troi.



All mortals, including Dawn Summers, die eventually. The Key is not mortal.

When its shell dies, the Key wanders the universe, reconnecting with others of its own kind. The Key remembers the joys of life spent dancing among stars, galaxies, universes, the fabric of existence laid out before it.

The Key forgets demons and hellgods, vampires and slayers, faces of loved ones. Flesh does not matter to energy.

But at last, it stumbles across a metal container full of air called Enterprise, full of mortals. It remembers a thing called “home” and thinks, perhaps I’ll be a boy, this time.

Deeply weird, very excellent crossover. And yay, Trek!

That's 3/6: you're halfway done. =)

I'm glad you liked it! I had fun writing it and coming up with the idea.

And I got this far along last time, so ...

Thanks for reviewing, I'm glad you liked it! I was in class when I got the idea, and it distracted me the rest of the session.

Enjoyed this drabble. Always liked that episode of TNG.

I'm glad you liked it! It's been so long since I've seen any TNG, I was surprised when this came to me, but it fits.

I loved that episode, and this is just a lovely new look at it.
