Entwined Souls

Summary: Riker and Troi meet as children. As they grow up, they have chance encounters with each other. Is this the universes way of bringing them together? Or is it just coincidence? AU.

I came up with this idea a while back, but just now decided to write something like this. I’ve always wondered what it would’ve been like if Riker and Troi had met as children and had met unexpectedly throughout their lives.

This is a different kind of AU. I’ve got Riker surrounded by family, instead of just him and his dad. He’s got his mother, his aunt, grandmother, grandfather, uncle and a little sister added to the mix. Yes this starts as a family fic, but I assure you, it will turn into a romance fic later on.

For anyone interested here are the first two chapters for you to sink your teeth into:

Chapter 1: Entwined Souls

Chapter 2: Best Friends

*I hope this is satisfactory. I’m doing my best.* 🙂

As a bonus blog post for today, I’m letting you guys in on some upcoming writing projects. This means more romance/drama fanfics galore!

I’ve got two new Riker/Troi romance fanfics on the drawing boards. The first is called:

Entwined Souls

Summary: Riker and Troi meet as children. As they grow up, they have chance encounters with each other. Is this the universes way of bringing them together? Or is it just coincidence?

*This is a slightly different AU fanfic from what I normally write.*

The second is called:

Empathic Soulmates

Summary: *This is a very different sort of AU fanfic.* Instead of Riker pursuing a command path aboard various starships, he works as a doctor at Starfleet Medical. He meets Troi when she is admitted for a broken arm. Riker always follows one rule: Never fall for a patient, even if its a beautiful woman. But he can’t help but feel a strange connection between the two of them.

*So, what do you guys think of these premises?*

So, with this post comes the close of my Riker/Troi romance fanfic Cards of Fate. On a scale of 1-10 how do I think I did? An honest answer? I give it a solid 8. I think I managed to balance out the romance, drama, angst, and the eventual family attributes of this story.

So for those of you who have read the entire fanfic, how would you rate it? On a scale of 1-10? I look forward to seeing what numbers you guys come up with.

As a bonus, here is the banner for it:

*Made using screencaps from trekcore.*

*Now if I can just figure out how to upload my book cover for this fanfic without having it look like a broken picture.*

Here is the link to the last chapter for those of you interested:

Chapter 13: Sleepless Night’s
