Summary
"You're a good and honorable man with unimpeachable integrity. She needs that right now. Plus, you're smokin' hot and Michael hasn't gotten laid in months."
"Okay," Chris jumped in, shutting that right down. "That should be private."
"Oh, see, you're new. 'Private' doesn't apply to me. I go around being awesome at everyone, figuring out what's up and then fixing it," Tilly said, like it was a law passed down from God Himself.

Summary
"You fucked the pride of Starfleet?!" Tilly said, voice rising with every word.
"I didn't know who he was," Michael said, a touch defensive.
"Oh, my god. Oh, my god, that is so hot. Wait, I touched his hand. I touched the hand he had inside you."
Michael closed her eyes. "I need you to stop saying things now."

Summary
"Don't worry, this isn't about love. It's about getting you laid."
It startled a laugh from Michael, beyond ridiculous. Then she actually looked at Tilly. "Wait, what?"
"Sex, Michael. You should have it. No-strings, anonymous, marathon sex with a hotass man. That's what you need right now."

Summary
"We should do this again," Pike said, his tone going curiously careful.
"Eat? I agree," she said, dry. He smiled a little, appreciative. Michael tilted her head. "You know where to find me."
Something pleased gleamed in Pike's eyes at that. "I believe I do." He knocked once on the table, nodded to her, and left.

Summary
Philippa looked at her with a knowing smirk. "You like your new captain," she said, tone full of innuendo.
Michael froze, thrown that Philippa had seen right through her, gripped by that awful feeling of being caught out. "Captain Pike has a sterling reputation," she said, impassive.
"His reputation isn't the part of him you're interested in," Philippa shot back, eyes sliding down Michael's frame, a goad.

Summary
Pike shook it off, looking to Michael, present with her in the room once again. "So I suppose I called you here to say...you went through a trauma, Michael. It's okay not to be okay. And I'm here to talk, if you want."
Michael opened her mouth, ready to dismiss it, too real. Instead what came out was: "He told me he was grateful. I destroyed his humanity and he said—" Michael broke off, looking away, her eyes stinging.

Summary
Michael tried to explain: "The last thing I remember was the mission to Cantara III."
"But...that was two years ago," Tilly said, with growing alarm. "We were still on the Discovery. You two weren't—" She looked to Pike, horrified, like she finally understood. Then she turned back to Michael. "You lost two years?"

Summary
Chris shook his head at her, helpless. "Michael, you can't."
"I can. I did," she said, vehement, as if daring him to refute what his own eyes could see. "You always do what's honorable. I'm doing what's right. Some sacrifices are too much, Chris."

Summary
"I've seen hundreds of permutations. I know all the variables in play. You have to tell him."
Michael's gut dropped out as she realized what her mom was saying. "Mom."

Summary
"Okay, I have a problem and I need your advice," Tilly said quickly, entering their quarters and starting to pace.
Michael sighed and set her PADD aside, already adjusting her evening plans. These conversations tended to lead to things like midnight training and pop quizzes on Starfleet protocol; she could finish her inventory review tomorrow. "What's the problem?"
"I want to bang the captain."

Summary
"You've been wanting to ask me something for an hour. Just spit it out. I already know it's about your feelings or sex. Those are the only two things that make you this uncomfortable."
Michael shifted, unsettled that Tilly could read her so well. Why had she thought talking about this was a good idea?
Tilly clocked her reaction, seeming delighted. "This is my favorite day. Talk sex to me, Michael, let's do this."

Summary
"Rhys, go kiss Michael," Tilly ordered, swaying against the bar a little, filled with the conviction reserved solely for the wasted at 0230.
Michael was drunk enough that she just laughed, the room swimming around her, everything feeling soft and lovely where she was perched on a stool, part of the group for once. "What are you on about now?"

Summary
"Are you harboring a romantic interest in the captain?" Spock asked from across the mess hall table, eyes trained on her evenly, all-knowing.
They had been eating lunch. Eating lunch and finally talking and that had somehow led to...this.
Michael stared at Spock, completely thrown. "...what?"

Summary
Pike frowned. "I need to know if you have doubts."
Michael couldn't help it; she scoffed. "I'm about to die; of course I have doubts."

Summary
As soon as the turbolift doors closed, Tilly rounded on Michael: "What supernaturally discreet crewman are you having hotass morning shower sex with and how could you not tell me?"
Michael clung to a lifetime of Vulcan-trained impassivity: "Answering that would negate the discretion, don't you think?"

Summary
Michael licked her lips. "If that was supposed to be some kind of punishment, I think you need to reconsider what you think of as a deterrent."

Summary
"It's just—what is the logic of dating?"
Amusement flashed across Pike's face, though he quickly shuttered it. "One, I don't think logic is the point for most people. And two, you need to define your terms. Euphemistic uses of 'dating' cover a multitude of sins," he said in a voice that made Michael think he knew every single one and wouldn't she like to try them.
No. No, she would not, she firmly reminded herself.

Summary
Chris knew it was bad when he started shaking from the blood loss.
The away mission was a no-brainer, the simplest way to find out what the Red Angel was doing on this uninhabited planet so long ago. Getting separated from the others, lost in the rocky ravines with Michael, that was mildly concerning, but at this point he was convinced you could drop him in the Klondike winter with Michael and a nail file and they'd be just fine.
The earthquake? That was when it started to feel like someone was messing with them.

Pike shook his head. "Fine, I'm old-fashioned. I just think dipping into people's thoughts is rude."

Summary
"You're going, right?" Michael hesitated, making Tilly's eyes widen. "Michael, you have to go! Captain Sexypants says he wants to lay you out and do dirty things to you, you say 'yes, sir, can I have some more.'"
