    Summary

    Garak picked through the detritus that remained of his shop, and considered his options.

    It wasn't going to be easy. Of course it wasn't. The Federation had every reason to be exceptionally careful with the artifact the Bajorans had so courteously lent them—and every reason not to let a Cardassian in the same room with it.

    (Set during 1.01. Garak receives an unexpected visitor—and is taken to an even more unexpected place.)

    Summary

    Kryptonian soulmarks weren't full names above the heart, like those on humans. They got symbols on their wrist meant to represent the person they were meant to love. Clark doesn't understand what the stylized bat on his wrist could possibly mean until he sees Batman for the first time-- but Batman has someone else's name.

    Or, Clark and Bruce are soulmates. They are also both convinced their soulmate bond is unrequited. Title taken from "The Hurtin' Kind" by Orville Peck

    Summary

    In which Jim finds himself fake-married to his first officer every other month. It's not his fault. Mostly. Dowries and Klingons are involved. Starfleet is decidedly not amused.

    Summary

    After a life-saving mind meld with Spock, Captain Kirk begins to experience vivid dreams of ancient Vulcan, a time of warring clans and primal bonds.

    In these dreams, a prince bearing Spock's likeness claims they are destined mates, leaving Kirk haunted by how real everything feels.

    When Kirk shares this with Spock, he is told that Vulcans do not dream, deepening the mystery. Unbeknownst to Spock, Kirk is connecting with a remnant of his subconscious left behind from the meld.

    As the dreams grow more intense, Kirk finds himself grappling with his own emotions, toward both his trusted first officer and the mysterious Vulcan prince in his dreams.
