"Phantom Pain" - Imzadi fic

amado1Ever since I watched "The Host" (the Odan episode, where Riker volunteers his body to host a Trill parasite, and Beverly happens to be in love with that Trill...) I've had a detailed outline for a coda in my WIP folder. It sort of ties "First Contact" and "The Host" together -- and I also had detailed outlines for a separate "First Contact" coda, and for "The Pegasus" as well.
Every day I hunt through my outlines for something to write. Usually it's a multichap, "Odysseus to Telemachus" or "Noli Me Tangere" -- but if you work on a multichap every day for a week, then you really feel the itch to write something short and self-contained as a break. Only every time I checked these codas, I still liked the ideas, they just didn't strike me as fun. Finally yesterday the inspiration struck for "The Host" and I managed to pound out a 7K oneshot!
(That brings me up to 9K for the whole day, counting the two chaps I wrote for Odysseus -- really pleased with that!)
I don't know if anyone is interested in a Troi/Riker hurt/comfort fic, but I figured I'd pimp it here too just in case, because I'm really happy with it -- same with the Thomas Riker & Will Riker gen fic from Sunday, but I know that one's a tough sell even within the TNG fandom 😆 You can read The Host coda, Phantom Pain, here.
