Star Trek TNG: Intimacy by SweetPollyOliver
Intimacy (Deanna/Will/Worf | PG13 | 2,108 words): Worf muses on second0hand intimacy. This is a really sweet get-together fic while also being a meditation on past relationships and their impacts.
Excerpt:
There was a kind of shocking intimacy with romantic relationships that extended far beyond the individual with whom you were having the relationship. Not only were you privy to their most private thoughts and dreams and moments of sweet vulnerability… you were privy to those of their previous partners.
Worf was not quite sure he liked how much he knew about the morning routine of Commander Riker.
Information that Worf could only have known otherwise if he had himself been in an intimate relationship with the ship’s first officer had been passed carelessly and casually into his hands by Deanna in the middle of unrelated anecdotes. Sometimes she would see something that struck her as hilarious and he would, all innocence, ask for her to elaborate and then be treated to fresh intelligence about the joys and pitfalls of courting William T. Riker. Worf felt that he could possibly write a book on the subject, at this point, for future potential Mrs. Rikers to consult.
It was not that he was jealous. He did not even really mind that Deanna had as much as told him that a part of her would always love Will. It seemed churlish of him to begrudge her that when a very large part of him would always love K'ehleyr.
