    Summary

    "Well," Grace says, reading over the monitor with Mary's full report, "everything looks good. I'm as healthy as a horse. A healthy horse," he adds, getting ahead of Rocky's inevitable logical objection to the phrase.

    "Mm," Rocky hums, "no, Grace not as tall as horse. Hair is shorter, also."

    "Are those--" Grace plants his hands on his hips. "Are those the main differences you see between me and a horse?"

    (In which Grace has multiple crises, breaks his foot, gets his brain microwaved, learns to hate cherry tomatoes, and becomes a celebrity--not necessarily in that order)

    Summary

    Adrian knows that everything is solvable if you break it down into the right sequence of steps.

    The abrupt return of their long-dead partner in an alien spaceship has brought with it a series of absurd, worrying and even dangerous problems, but they're confident they can see the solution even if nobody else can.

    They just need to make the alien fall in love with Rocky.

    Summary

    He’d thought, before, that it would help, knowing that whatever happened, it wouldn’t really be Spock doing it to him.

    He hadn’t realised it would be this lonely.

    or

     
    Jim makes three promises and Spock makes one. As Spock's pon farr begins, they will both have to learn the cost of keeping them.

    Elsewhere, Leonard McCoy does not, in fact, deliver the shovel talk.
