Summary
Even seeing Q at a distance far out on the dock, juggling stones in his coat pocket, head hunched against the fur-lined hood, is becoming familiar. He’s recognizing Q with something akin to affection, and realizing that every petty argument they have—petty because there’s comparatively little Q can do here to cross ethical bounds—leaves him closer and closer to understanding Q’s odd and uncanny gestures.
[ the one where Q and Picard are stuck in a lakeside cabin and learn the ups and downs of cohabitation ]

Summary
Even though Jean-Luc opens only in bursts and starts, small fractions, Jean-Luc’s hands are kind. If they touch Q, they are always painfully concerned with earnestness.
Pleasure is easy to find. To be held between hands like these is not.

Summary
They're under a tree now, with damp, fire bright leaves raining down around them. Mike's head is in Scott's lap. He feels sore in too many places to count. As always, Scott looks concerned, but not like a mother or a brother would be.
"How much?" Mike asks. I think maybe I love you.
Scott presses something that feels like folded bills into his hand. He doesn't count it.

Nobody knows what he’s done. He feels powerful for it. It’s another thing he gets away with.
