I recently started watching TNG, and find myself pretty ambivalent about it so far. On the one hand I find the characters and situations theoretically very interesting, but on the other, this doesn't seem to translate into raw onscreen chemistry the way it does in TOS. IMHO.

So I was wondering if anyone had any really good, in-character slash recs that aren't the usual Picard/Q? I've read almost nothing from that fandom, so almost anything is welcome, but I think I'd be especially interested in Riker/Worf, and anything involving the fascinating Mr Data.

Thanks in advance!

Accidental by astolat (http://intimations.org/fanfic/startrek/accidental.html) is my favorite. If you dig a bit, she has a number of other TNG ones, I think.

Hmmm... Really good slash involving Data? Well, I don't know if you go more for smut or complex plot, so I'll list a bit of both. I got to know Trekfic through ASCEM so (almost) all the links lead to their archive. Been looking around at LJ since, but haven't found much so far (except theinfinitychamber, a terrific TNG/Dr. Who crossover)...

- 'Debriefing' (P/D) by Taylor Dancinghands (one of my favourites)
http://www.trekiverse.org/archive/2000/adult/tng/Debriefing

- 'The Observer Effect' (D/m) and 'Trick or Treat' (D/La) by Datalaur

http://www.trekiverse.org/archive/2000/adult/tng/TrickOrTreat_D

- the 'Shut Down the Sun' series (D/La) by Quoth (watch out, very dark and angsty)
http://www.trekiverse.org/archive/2000/adult/tng/LightningStrikesMe
http://www.trekiverse.org/archive/2000/adult/tng/RearViewMirror

- the vignettes by Espressivo (pure smut, both het and slash)
http://www.trekiverse.us/author/author.php?aid=A000000901

My absolute favourite author is J. Juls, who somehow manages to be original, absurd, hilarious, and still seriously good at the same time. A very cute one is 'Smoother Than An Android's Bottom' (D/La):

What I haven't read yet but is said to be very good is the Tarot-series by Datatoy:

Maybe I'll think of more later. And, heh, well, I also write a bit of Dataslash myself, but I've only just started, so there isn't much in my journal yet (I have a zillion projects running that are very gradually all getting done). You're welcome to take a look, if you like.

Ah, I forgot Between SemiQuavers (http://www.trekiverse.org/archive/2000/adult/tng/BetweenSemiQuavers) by Pensnest (yeah, I finally got the hang of linking properly - sorry about the mess above). This one (also pure smut) is D/Q; it doesn't deal with the pairing the way I would (matter of taste, of course), but it's very well written.
