For Guinan qcard is likely the best and the worst Person in her life getting together. Or at least the worst Person in the universe ( Guinan even defended Hugh and she hates the Borg) trying to get Close to someone she considers 'closer than Family, closer than friends' so of course she would feel a need to protect Picard from Q.

Picard: I think I might actually start to Like Q.

Guinan: No you don't.

[yourbuerokrat2]

Guinan: If you plan on doing Something horrible to the Captain, I'll..

Q: Oh there are quite a few things I will do to Jean-Luc but I can assure you that he will enjoy all of them.

Guinan: .. I should have killed you when I had the chance.

Risiking it by making a comment about how he had once threatened with/promised that they would spend eternity together, illustrating the adventures and the explorations (well it would be exploration for Picard since Q has already seen it all) they could do together. Amongst .. other things. And for just a short moment Picards face betrays him.

"I can't, Q. Please understand that."

"Of couse you can. The only thing currently stopping you is yourself."

I think one of the funniest things about qcard is the absolute denial and horror Picard would go through at having to realize that he has feelings for or even loves Q.

Like this man would, even or perhaps especially if Q made it clear that this is more than requited, not be okay for a while.

It would be both fun and confusing for Q because he is getting mixed messages.

When he invades Picards personal space for just a few seconds Picard leans back towards him only for the Captain to catch himself and put a bit of distance between them in a way that is just a bit too hurried to come of as natural. Q mentions having met another captain (Sisko) and my, Q is almost sure that he can hear a bit of jealousy in Picards voice and there even is a comment about why Q bothers coming him to him now that he has found 'other entertainment' that comes off just a little bit bitter.

Further testing the waters, Q visits Picard after a long shift and makes the open handed suggestion (in a more than usual flirtatious tone) that Picard could just let Q take care of him for a bit. Picards face changes colour and there is a bit of a stumble in his words as he finds what Q to be implying rather outragous. In a snap Q is behind him, his hands on his shoulders, giving a light massage, a teasing comment into Picards ear and there is the lean backwards. Ever so slightly and ever so short, a brief, barely noticeable moment of relaxation before Picard once again puts some rather unneeded distance between them.

Prime!Picard wakes up in a universe where he becomes stiff as a board when he realizes that Q is cuddling him of all things. THinking that his lover has just woken up 'on the wrong side of the bed' Picard even gets served Breakfeast in Bed to make him feel better meanwhile Picard just stares at the 'other' Q like he has gone insane.

Meanwhile prime!Q is greeted to have a just woken up Picard call out to him who is suspicously very concerned and talks about how he missed Q when he woke up.

The Continuum decides to mess a bit with prime!Picard and temporarily exchanges him with a Picard in a universe where everything is exactly the same except that this Picard is in a lovey-dovey relationship with Q.

An AU where reality just changes according to the wishes or how a Q thinks the reality to be could also be really interesting especially if Picard for some reason is the only one who sis aware of the reality.

So even though Q says that they have been together for a while not and every one of his crew says that this has been 'obvious' and that even though his logs and his superiors also clearly want to make him beleif that he is together with Q and even though he even starts to get memories he is sure (is he really sure?) were not there before, he can still feel that something is clearly wrong about all of this.

I love writing delusional!Q simply because no matter how clever or how direct Picard is and no matter what he ends up doing, simply by Q being, well, a Q sooner or later Picard will have to play along.

I like Picard so much because he's this very diplomatic direct neutral man with amazing self regulation and EVERYONE wants to fuck him

Oh boy, I’m a succulent maple tree and you just tapped into my syrup. So, apologies in advance for this.

Listen, you ever see a Damascus steel blade? At first glance it looks like regular boring metal, but if you pay closer attention, there’s a subtle, intricate grain— the result of being heated, folded, hammered, and cooled over and over again. This process creates not only a beautifully unique pattern to look at, but a reinforced high-tensile strength blade.

This is Picard to me. At first glance he’s a tea drinking, desk sitting, stuffy intellectual. Yet as you get to know his character, you realize there’s an intense grit and nuanced strength ingrained beneath the polish.

His diplomacy skills do not stem from his intellectual and tactical prowess (though they play a big part), they are the result of a brash, fearless, hot-head who struggled for control over his own reckless nature. He had to painstakingly broker peace within himself, temper those inborn traits, or spiral into self-destruction.

He can lead the cold-blooded tyrants and the obnoxious chest-thumpers by the nose and call it diplomacy because he’s harnessed those very traits within himself. He can look a warmonger in the eye without flinching because on a fundamental level, he is as capable of destruction and pain as they are (Mirror Universe anyone?).

He is a peaceful man by choice, not nature. And that is what makes him indomitable.

The person who grapples with themselves to become something more than they are will always tower above those who stagnate comfortably in their own nature.

So yeah, anyone who takes the time to ponder why Mr. Dainty-Teacup-Flute-Toot is captain of the Federation flagship, they tend to discover they wouldn’t mind a taste of that beautifully intricate tempered steel.
