Summary
Father Christopher Pike, a Jesuit from Earth's Vatican Observatory, wakes up from a coma with no memories of his life, his past, or the five years he's supposedly spent as part of an interfaith monastic community on the moon of Delta IV, where he is the sole human among eight scholars representing different belief systems from throughout the galaxy - from a Romulan nun of the Qowat Milat, to a Trill Guardian, to a Klingon monk from Boreth. But as he attempts to acclimate to a life he doesn't remember, the only thing he recognizes is the face that greeted him upon waking: Spock, the cohort's resident Vulcan, who lives next door and is supposedly Pike's closest friend. After a mind meld helps Pike recover his memories of their life together at the monastery, the intimacy between them begins to deepen, and suddenly their vows of celibacy feel oppressive in a way they didn't before.
But even as the spark between them grows more difficult to ignore, Pike and Spock still can't shake the unsettling feeling that this isn't their real life . . . or the worry that somebody, somewhere, seems willing to go to dangerous lengths to stop them from getting back to it.

Summary
It’s hard to stay cynical in the face of Clark Kent and his relentless optimism. Looking at him there, still in his button up shirt from his business trip, sleeves rolled up, still focused even though it’s pushing midnight, she feels a warm, steady wave of fondness in her chest.
She wishes they could do this every night. Not the pulling a furious all-nighter right after someone tried to murder her – that part she could take or leave. But it would be nice to spend every evening with Clark. She’d always told herself she liked her space, but being with Clark was like having space and having company rolled into one.
Her highly caffeinated, sleep-deprived brain catches up with the implications of that thought process, and she thinks, shit.
After years of pining after an alien demi-god who is, much as she hates to admit it, miles out of her league, Lois realises she's caught feelings for her co-worker. Unsure whether or not to tell him, she seeks advice from the most sensitive guy she knows - Superman. Things don't go as she expected...
