-->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.

Warning: Spoilers ahead!

!!This fanfic contains examples of:
* ActionGirl: Tasha.
* AllTakeAndNoGive: Tasha sees herself as the Taker and Data as the Giver.
* AlternateUniverse: Several. Tasha appears to be sensitive to appearances of this trope, quoting Guinan when in that particular universe, she doesn't even exist and realizing that something happened when the Enterprise-C showed up, even though no one else except Guinan remembers.
** Besides the one featured in the fic, the Worf native to the Rollercoaster-verse travels to the canon TNG-verse, a universe where Data died on Vagra III, one where Data was never invented and Dr. Pulaski serves as CMO, and another where Q turned Data human after the events of Deja Q, Picard, Shelby, and Wesley at least have been assimilated by the Borg, and Data and Tasha are married. In the last two, Worf and Deanna are married.
* BelligerentSexualTension: Once Data gets his [[PersonalityChip emotion chip]] installed, there's quite a bit of it.
* CallForward: Chapters 31-33, set during "Descent," drops strong hints about the Borg Queen and her interest in Data.
* CassandraTruth: During the AU events of "Descent," Lore talks with a drone semi-reconnected to the Collective. The drone tries to tell Lore about the Borg Queen's interest in Data. Lore doesn't care, and nicknames the drone "The Oracle."
* ClingyJealousGirl: Tasha displays traits of this archetype more than once.
* TheCollector: Kivas Fajo.
* CrazyJealousGuy: After Data installs his emotion chip, he goes through a phase of possessiveness and jealousy.
* [[spoiler: DownerEnding: Tasha proposes to Data, everything is wonderful and perfect and they've finally gotten their act together...and then he goes and gets himself blown up on the Scimitar.]]
* DoYouWantToCopulate: Data, several times.
* DoppelgangerGetsSameSentiment: Invoked and defied; after Lore briefly tries to pose as Data only for Tasha to see through the act, she grimly informs Lore that Data's looks have nothing to do with her feelings for him and Lore shouldn't ever worry about the idea that she ever found ''him'' attractive.
* FirstTimeFeeling: After Data installs his emotion chip, he has severe mood swings.
* ForWantOfANail: Deanna gets sick, so she misses her conference, so her shuttle never crashes on Vagra III, so Tasha never dies.
* ICantDance: Tasha makes an utter fool of herself every time she tries.
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: During the altered version of 'Conundrum', Data and Tasha lose their memories while in the Holodeck. [[spoiler: They believe they are married, and make out. And then Worf walks in.]]
* [[spoiler: LoveEpiphany: It only took Data about 4 years to figure it out after the emotion chip was installed.]]
* {{Robosexual}}: Well, duh.
* SlapSlapKiss: Tasha to Data.
* TimeyWimeyBall: Data and Tasha each get hit by one: Data[[spoiler:'s head came back from 1890 San Francisco the long way]], and Tasha, due to the events of "Yesterday's Enterprise", [[spoiler: has a half-Romulan daughter nearly her own age]].
* TortureTechnician: Poklar.
* UnresolvedSexualTension: In spades.
* UnusualEuphemism: Q makes up a whole slew of them when [[spoiler: he realizes that Data and Tasha are in a sexual relationship]]
