The Institute by Ventura33 (PG)
Fandom: STAR TREK TNG
Pairing: none
Author on LJ: none
Author Website: Ventura33 Fanfiction
Why this must be read:
Back in the day when the Borg were a new and utterly chilling enemy, Picard experienced the 'worst of both worlds.' Assimilated against his will into the Collective, he was responsible for a great deal of devastation and suffering as Locutus. Unlike later events in the Trek universe, all was not forgotten immediately afterward; Picard's physical recovery, and his coming to grips with what he did as well as what was done to him, took time. "The Institute" beautifully echoes this theme of healing as well as shows the lasting effects of the Borg experience on the individual. Although this story is technically a sequel to "The Relevance of Hope" and "Imperfection", it stands quite well on its own.
