Summary
“Eighteen years ago, an earthquake ripped through Gotham City, and in the aftermath, instead of helping, the US government sealed the city under a ‘quarantine’ and left them to die. Two years later, when signs of life and even civilisation were still detectable inside the shattered city, the government sent the military in to reclaim and rehabilitate Gotham. Gotham has not forgotten, and they have not forgiven either.”
An AU where an altered version of No Man’s Land happened while Bruce was in his late teens/early twenties, and Batman was born in the hellish crucible of a trapped city that was left for dead and then violently retaken. Gotham may pretend to run by mainlander rules for the sake of those who would have died otherwise, but under the surface, Bruce, Jim, Leslie, Ivy and Oswald and their pack keep their own council, and look with jaundiced eyes on the mainland.

Summary
At the start of the 5-year mission, Jim is still unsteady from the fallout of the warp core and its impact on his friendship with Spock, but he’s doing a decent job of pretending like he isn’t. Until an omnipotent being decides he could use a day trip to an alternate universe, that is.
Or: A desperately pining Jim crosses paths with a desperately lonely Spock.

Summary
“What am I missing?” Jim said, cocking his head.
“You,” Uhura said, pointing at him and then his First Officer, “and Mr. Spock have to kiss each other. And not just a peck, sir. A full-on embrace. With a modest amount of tongue. That was very clear in the brief they sent.”
Next to Jim, Spock breathed in deeply and said, “Ah.”
Jim stared at Uhura. “Uh… Can you check it again?”

Summary
Based on this prompt: Kirk buys a gift for Spock but decides not to give it to him because it's too valuable, they're only friends/work colleagues and it might embarrass Spock. He can't give it to anyone else, because the gift is something ideal only to a Vulcan. But Spock finds it anyway.

Summary
“Hen made a joke that I was Buck’s sugar baby.” Eddie said and then waved his hand around a bit, trying to think of some sort of explanation, deflection, but he fell short.
“Sugar baby!” Jee-Yun babbles and Eddie flushes even more as Maddie smiles at her.
“Yes! That’s what Eddie is!” She says and Eddie fumbles over his words.
“Maddie!” He says, in that similar scandalised tone he had when Hen had first brought it up.
~~~
Or the fic where Eddie and Buck realise some things and talk a lot about their feelings.

“Uh, Chim,” he says, “why would we be kissing each other in the first place?”
“Oh, no reason,” Chimney shrugs. “That’s why I figured you’d be on board. Just don’t kiss each other for a week, which you already do. Easy money.”
spoiler: it's not easy money.

Summary
“Yeah,” Eddie says, and the darkness behind his eyelids takes on a white edge. “Be good. Nice to be married,” he yanks on Buck’s t-shirt, “best friend.”
Finally, Buck takes a breath that sounds off somehow, but he laughs too, and that sounds normal, Eddie thinks. A normal laugh.
“Sure, Eds,” he says, and there’s his hand in Eddie’s hair again, a puff of breath on the crown of Eddie’s head like Buck leaned in to press a kiss there and then stopped, but why would he stop—“I’ll marry you if you remind me tomorrow.”
or the one in which joking about being married to your best friend is all fun and games, right up until you realize that you're not laughing.

The Sicilian Defence by probablynotadalek

Summary
The Sicilian Defense is a minefield when it comes to chess theory – entire books have been written about it. Therefore, the best strategy to adopt when encountering the opening is to stick to basic opening principles -- control the center of the board, develop pieces, and castle early. - Jack Pursey
