Summary
He’s so tired. Of being gentle with himself, of giving himself time. Of all the helpful, exhausting little rituals that make it better but don’t make it go away. Of the distance between knowing the way home and actually being there.
----
Sequel to Somewhere in Mid-Air, because enough people said they wanted to see more of the recovery and I found I did too. Nicky and Nile deal with the fallout.

Summary
“It happened to you too,” Nile says softly. “I can see how worried you are about him, but he’s not the only one who got hurt. Immortal or not, no one just walks off being tortured.”
“It wasn’t torture,” Joe says blandly.
After Merrick, Nicky needs to be alone for a little while, and Joe needs not to be.
Fortunately, Nile could use some company too.

Summary
“We can’t let it happen to her.” Nicky says, like Joe could have forgotten. “You know I’ll be OK.”
“I don’t, I don’t know that,” Joe retorts passionately. The tears have been close for a while, now they overflow. “Nicky. You won’t.”
Nicky shuts his eyes, lets his head fall back against the wall behind him. “In time,” he says softly. “I will be in time. Stop fighting me. Please.”

Captured along with Nile, Joe and Nicky are determined to protect her. Even if this is what it costs.Series

Summary
"At this period of my life the good Watson had passed almost beyond my ken. An occasional week-end visit was the most that I ever saw of him. Thus I must act as my own chronicler. Ah! had he but been with me, how much he might have made of so wonderful a happening and of my eventual triumph against every difficulty! "
Holmes sends the manuscript of The Lion's Mane to the absent Watson. But perhaps his absence isn't as longterm as all that.

Summary
Joe has been so thoroughly torn in two. Half of his heart wants to drag Nicky into his arms, kiss him until neither of them can breathe, whisper to him until they feel safe and whole again, find salvation in him like they have since long before Joe lost the ability to properly gauge the passing of time. His other half can’t bear to even look at Nicky for too long. He can’t see Nicky’s eyes, normally wide and beautiful and the color of sea-glass, without recalling them screwed up in pain. He can’t see Nicky’s skin without remembering it sliced into, pieces extracted, the stain of blood that lingered. He can’t see Nicky’s hair without remembering it caked in blood, too.
//
Nicky and Joe return to Malta after the events of the movie while Nile and Andy head for a safehouse in South America, because they're both a lot more wounded by it all than they'd like to admit, and are desperate to find each other again.Series

Summary
Sarwa is ladling stew into bowls and she hands the first one to Yusuf, who passes it to Nicolo and takes a drink from the now filled flask. “Is he your lover?” she asks.
Yusuf chokes on water and Nicolo pounds his back, eyebrows peaked with concern.
“I—” Yusuf pauses, wiping his streaming eyes.
Sarwa looks at him, nothing but mild curiosity on her face.
Yusuf glances at Nicolo. The firelight paints his cheekbones flickering gold, his eyes hooded and sleepy in the dim light.
“I don’t know what he is,” Yusuf finally admits, still looking at Nicolo.
Nicolo’s mouth quirks and he takes another bite of soup.
“He looks at you like you belong to him,” Sarwa says.
Nicolo keeps eating, oblivious to what they’re saying.
“I think he belongs to me too,” Yusuf whispers.

Summary
Jim wrote a romance novel just to prove he could. Then someone leaked it on the public Starfleet server, and suddenly his embarrassingly smutty and sentimental Human/Vulcan love story is all over campus. Luckily for Jim, no one knows that he’s the author. Unluckily for Jim, someone forwarded the novel to the staff of the Vulcan embassy. Now, every Vulcan in San Francisco is reassessing the logical merits of taking Human bondmates.
Spock reads a Human/Vulcan romance novel because he can hardly avoid it. Suddenly, he is consumed by the need to locate the author, ascertain their wellbeing, and instruct them in the way of Vulcan mating bonds. Luckily for Spock, it doesn't take long to identify the author as Jim Kirk. Unluckily for Spock, Jim is unconscious and surrounded by interested Vulcans who also read the book.

Summary
After Jim comes back from the dead, Spock stops talking to him. Lonely and in love with his unattainable first officer, Jim seeks the other Spock on New Vulcan. Desperate for his own Jim, Spock is more than willing to reciprocate and a happy, if unexpected, affair begins. But when the younger Spock finds out what his Captain has been up to, Jim will have to choose between the two versions of his beloved Vulcan.
But no Spock is meant to be without a Kirk—and Jim will do what it takes to make sure the Old Man isn't alone, even if he has to navigate the unpredictable landscape of the Nexus himself.
