''[[http://www.stardestroyer.net/Empire/Fanfic/Conquest/ Conquest]]'' by Michael Wong

* Recommended by {{ham-peas}}
* ''Synopsis:'' A Starfleet cruiser chases a Jem'Hadar attack ship into a stable wormhole, whose other end turns out to be "a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away."
* ''Comments:'' Written by the proprietor of a rather comprehensive Star Wars/Star Trek comparative-analysis site, this fic takes an unstinting look at far-reaching consequences of cross-pollination between those two worlds. It's not always ''nice'', but it's always plausible and generally compelling, with a twist ending that's both initially astonishing and, on reflection, utterly inevitable. Strongly recommended.

''[[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/18984/the-quandary-of-disqord The Quandary of DisQord]]'' by Kane Magus
* Recommended by roguehistoria
* ''Crossover with'': ''My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic''
* ''Synopsis'': This is a Star Trek: The Next Generation / My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic crossover fic (though it's mostly just a FiM fic since none of the Star Trek: TNG cast except for Q show up, though a few are briefly mentioned). The frame story is set immediately after the TNG season 3 episode "Deja Q." The story being told to Q2 (who is simply called "Q" rather than "Q2" in the fic itself) by Q is about Q's existence as Discord from his first arrival thousands of years before the events depicted in the play in "Hearth's Warming Eve" up to the end of "The Return of Harmony."

* ''Crossover with'': ''My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic''
* ''Synopsis'': This is a direct sequel to the previous fic The Quandary of DisQord and is, of course, another Star Trek: The Next Generation / Friendship is Magic crossover. This time, however, Q has decided to bring the crew of the Enterprise-D along for the ride as well.

Picard decides to tell the Temporal Prime Directive to sod off and has the D go back into the past to SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong. Every decision has consequences, however, and though the war he intended to avert is successfully prevented, it starts to come out that a vast conspiracy was responsible for plunging the galaxy's powers into war, and another conflict may be in the making.

''[[http://forums.spacebattles.com/showthread.php?t=156439 Task Force 43]]'' by Zcenicx
* Recommended by Judge King
* ''Sypnosis'': A Starfleet Task Force is thrown into the Babylon 5 universe.
* ''Comments'': A really good fic that will definitely take several days to read.
** YMMV on that one. While the opening chapters are good, and deal with a lot of the problems that Starfleet would encounter as they try to set up a new colony, it eventually settles into BoringInvincibleHero status, bordering on MarySue levels of moral superiority over everyone in the Babylon5 universe, which isn't what Babylon 5 is about. Babylon 5 is about ordinary people struggling to survive in a world fantastic and amazing. Will they have flaws? Yes, but that makes them interesting. The Federation has virtually no flaws, and it gets really, really tiring to read page after page of how awesome everything in the Federation is compared to anything in the B5 universe.
** I second the recommendation. The Federation does come up as superior, but they are pretty much at the level of First Ones in the B5 universe. The difference is that they try to respect the rights and sovereignty of the less-advanced races. Some of the Federation characters even see their inability to stay isolated and neutral as a failure on their part. So, yeah, YMMV.

** YMMV on this. I personally can't second the rec, and feel this reviewer put it best:
--->"[T]his story seems to mistake nastiness for sexual tension. Tasha is a selfish, petty, spiteful, caustic harpy who makes absolutely everything about her and eternally plays the victim. [...] Data you have as a true automaton (but only when it comes to romance) in a way that - even if I bought that he has no emotions and nothing like emotions - doesn't fit at all with his canon character. [...] These people are awful, this isn't romantic."

* Pairing(s): Data/Yar
* Synopsis: In which Tasha never had the bridge dropped on her, and her relationship with Data throughout the series. "Fate conspired differently. Death passed Tasha by. Given the time to evolve, a relationship she'd dismissed as a one night stand became the most complicated love affair she'd know. Series of stories spanning the show & movies."
* Comments: Complete with 61 chapters and will be followed up with a sequel, it's an addictive fic, with a great deal of character study, and touching in how vulnerable Data and Yar interact but never OOC. One moment fluffy bordering on crack, the next, heart breakingly tragic. I cannot recommend this enough. Also has a [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6129680/1/Orpheus sequel]].
