Star Trek: Deep Space Nine / Star Trek: Next Generation (PG)

Title: Into the Breach, by BEKi
Pairing: none
Author on LJ: none that I know of

Why this must be read:

It's a DS9 crossover that doesn't involve Garak, and story that makes Will Riker interesting!  (Nothing wrong with Garak, but just try to find a crossover without him. As for Will Riker ... sorry, Riker fans. If you exist.)

Snark aside, this story perfectly juxtaposes the idealism of TNG with the reality of DS9.  In "Emissary," it's a revealing moment when we learn Sisko won't forgive Picard for Wolf 359.  "Into the Breach" explores the clash of world views when Riker asks Sisko to do just that.
