IDK who loaned Q a book about the holidays but he just can't leave these two alone.Written for verizonhorizon  who requested the porny “missing scene” drabble from the Matchmaker Matchmaker fic. 

The story helps to introduce that Jim and Spock have kids, and that kids are not an impediment, and that Jim will ALWAYS find the weirdest thing going to disrupt his life...

Unlike the other stories in this series, this is the first time Emerald has been posted online.

I will never forget you t'hy'la...

Reading Picards report on 'The Nexus Incident' Spock needs a plan.

Direct sequel to Out of the Big Black which needs to be read first for context.

This is an answer to PortableIce's Double Happy Ending Challenge:

Ok, after witnessing Kirk's death, Picard goes to tell Spock about his T'hy'la's demise. This results in major depression for Spock even though he finally has closure on his love's whereabouts and fate.

Feeling bad for both men who have done a long list of great things for himself, his crew, Starfleet, and the universe, Picard basically goes to the one man who can make this right--and always leaves him a mess of tangled emotions and thoughts, Q. He offers to do Q a big favor of his desire if he can bring Kirk back alive and let the two most epic guys in the universe live the rest of their lives together, especially in death. (One suggestion: maybe have some life force from Spock transferred to Kirk as to equal out their "natural" lifespans)

The favor that Q requests of Picard, since he too is in a turmoil of personal proportions whenever they meet, is actually very surprisingly sweet and romantic; a double happy ending for the story.

Bonus for the piece having equal parts humor, angst, and happiness.

I did what I could. Enjoy.
