    Summary

    After the destruction of Vulcan, many members of the endangered species are left without bondmates. To prevent any further unnecessary deaths, a program is set up to match volunteers with Vulcans entering pon farr alone.

    It’s a simple contract: complete a mental compatibility exam, and when a Vulcan enters pon farr with a high enough compatibility score, you drop everything to spend a night on New Vulcan, then go your separate ways. There are definitely no weird ancient bonds in play that can get you accidentally-Vulcan-married to that person.

    …Right?

    Summary

    I’ve lost my mind, Daniel thinks, still lavishing kisses to the chest of the creature that killed him. He says the next part out loud: “I fucking hate you. And you hate me. So something is making us do this.”

    “I don’t hate you,” Armand pants. “You mean nothing to me. Don't stop.”

    Summary

    In the beginning you dream about a shard of light, illuminating the path ahead of you. It wavers; sometimes it’s unbearably bright and warm, other times it struggles. It takes you longer than you would like to admit to realise that it always relates to him. When he has a good day, your dreams are steeped in gold. When he flirts along the edges of relapse, the light isn’t quite there, like a faltering lightbulb on the brink of burning out. He stumbles in the waking hours and you stumble in the dark.

    Little by little he is becoming something in your rote routine, breaking it apart in a way you aren’t quite prepared for. You’re frustrated by it, by how quickly he had such a hold on you. You’ve never needed another soul in your life.

    You’re beginning to need him.

    Summary

    Kim feels for the Satellite Officer. It’s clear what he’s been through, what Harry has subjected him to over the last few years - Kim only knows the half of it, of course, but he’s seen it before, hermit-cops pushing everyone away, their partner last man standing at the bombsite. Still, it feels cruel to punish this person for it, this wiped-clean, remade Harry, looking at Kim now like a bottle-fed animal about to be released into the wild. If Kim does go to the 41st, navigating all this will be an extra layer of complexity. He should think very carefully about it - about whether it’s worth getting mixed up in all of it. The mess.

    A slow-burn, Kim-POV story about going to the 41st, against his better judgement.

    Summary

    1977. Dani was still figuring out their new dynamic, but Armand knew exactly what she wanted.

     

    “Can I buy you a drink?” Armand asked, leaning her elbow on the bar.
    “Oh!” Dani said, surprised. Her eyes raked over Armand, taking her in. “Arma–”
    “Have we met?” Armand cocked her head.
    Dani flushed, beautifully. Fine, she thought. I’ll play along. “Sure,” she said. “Rum and coke. I’m Dani.”
