What are some interesting Star Trek Data fanfiction stories?

Some fanfictions focus on Data's relationship with the crew. He could be in a story where he has to comfort a crew member who is going through a tough time. Since Data doesn't have emotions in the traditional sense, his attempts at consoling the crew member could be both heartwarming and thought - provoking.

One interesting story could be about Data exploring emotions in a new and unique way. Maybe he encounters a new alien species that has a different understanding of emotions and it causes him to re - evaluate his own pursuit of them.

One interesting aspect could be the exploration of the character Data in a vulnerable state. Since Data is an android, seeing him 'sick' in fanfiction can lead to unique storylines that delve into his relationship with the crew, as they try to figure out how to 'heal' him. It gives a different perspective on his character.

Data in fanfiction can be part of many different storylines. For example, he could be involved in a time - traveling adventure, or perhaps a story where he is the only one who can solve a complex scientific mystery on a strange planet. His unique abilities and his constant quest to be more 'human' give writers a lot of material to work with.

One possible fanfiction could involve Data being injured during a mission on an alien planet. Maybe he was caught in a strange energy field that disrupted his systems. The crew of the Enterprise would then have to figure out how to repair him while also dealing with the potential threat of the energy field.

One possible story could be about Data and Rhea McAdams exploring an uncharted planet together. Data's logical approach and Rhea's more emotional perspective might create an interesting dynamic as they face the unknowns of the planet, like strange alien creatures or unusual geological formations.

There might be a fanfiction where a new technology is introduced on the ship, but it causes data overload. Data tries to analyze the situation, and in the process, he discovers a hidden flaw in the Starfleet's data management protocols. This leads to a series of adventures as they try to patch the flaw and prevent a total system meltdown.

Data is significant in Star Trek OC (Original Character) fanfiction as he can serve as a bridge between the known Star Trek universe and the new elements introduced by the OCs. His logical mind can help or hinder the OCs depending on the plot.

Another scenario could be that Data faints as a result of overloading his emotional subroutines. He's been trying to experience emotions more deeply and it becomes too much for his current programming. This would open up a story about how the crew helps him manage and understand his emotions better, and how they deal with this new vulnerability of Data.

One interesting plot could be Troi in Data's body trying to understand his logical processes more deeply. She might struggle with the lack of emotions at first but then start to find beauty in pure logic. Another could be Data in Troi's body having to deal with the sudden influx of emotions and learning how to manage them in a diplomatic setting. For example, in a negotiation where emotions play a role, Data would have to navigate it in a completely new way.
