    Summary

    “The other night in the park,” she says. “He was about to blow a fucking gasket over Abbot’s arm around you.”

    “That’s not,” Dennis starts to protest, making a face at her. “That wasn’t about me. You know how Robby gets after a bad shift—he was just looking for a reason to be pissed at someone.”

    “Sure,” Trinity says, “and the reason was that he’s jealous as fuck.”

    -0-

    Robby has a lot of feelings about the way other people talk to—and touch—Dennis Whitaker. They bubble up.

    Summary

    After a life-saving mind meld with Spock, Captain Kirk begins to experience vivid dreams of ancient Vulcan, a time of warring clans and primal bonds.

    In these dreams, a prince bearing Spock's likeness claims they are destined mates, leaving Kirk haunted by how real everything feels.

    When Kirk shares this with Spock, he is told that Vulcans do not dream, deepening the mystery. Unbeknownst to Spock, Kirk is connecting with a remnant of his subconscious left behind from the meld.

    As the dreams grow more intense, Kirk finds himself grappling with his own emotions, toward both his trusted first officer and the mysterious Vulcan prince in his dreams.

    Summary

    When James Kirk was five, his mother gave him a pack of coloured pens. She explained what they were for, and how he shouldn’t get his hopes up too much for a reply. After all, he was only a little boy...

Gone his whole life without a single Echo, Jim cannot stop wondering what might have become of his soul-mate. And why they never wrote back to him...

    Summary

    Just as she finished adding a small box of sweets to her items, she felt a tug on the sleeve of her robe. Turning, she had a smile prepared, and a praise on the tip of her tongue for whatever item her son had chosen. That turned into a sharp gasp when she realized that carefully ensconced in her son’s arms was not any item for sale in the shop, but a very human baby.
     
    “Mother, I will have this.”

    Summary

    While a time loop of any kind would normally raise a number of questions on its own, a time loop seemingly centered entirely around Jayce and his favorite person in the whole wide world is not something he’d accounted for — and certainly not one where that very-beloved person keeps finding new and unique ways to accidentally kill him.

    Jayce and Viktor’s devotion to each other runs both long and deep. As Viktor begins to tread a dark path, Jayce takes it upon himself to try and save him. Over and over and over again.

    Summary

    Jayce Talis had died in that attack, in everything but body.
    Days after, as he spends his time in his laboratory, doing nothing but staring at meaningless notes, at worn-down books, at his partner's face as it rests in its Arcane cocoon--his mind begins to splinter, breaking at the seams.
    Perhaps it's because of guilt, or grief, or anger. Or perhaps, it is because of the very thing keeping Viktor alive.

    Or: the Hexcore decides that using Jayce Talis might prove to be worthwhile. It is only a matter of breaking him, first.

    Summary

    “This is...very different,” he murmured, his accent thick and rolling around the words as if testing them on his tongue. “What’s gotten into you?”

    “Would it really be so bad,” Jayce began, speaking against the edge of Viktor’s lapel. “To share a name along with our dreams? Because I’d gladly take yours if you’d give it to me.”

    Jayce's attempts at getting Viktor out of the lab lead to the pair becoming regulars at a coffee shop near the bridge. Things go well until an innocent misunderstanding nearly throws a cog into everything they've built between them.

    Summary

    student0158554
    Quality : 4.5
    Difficulty : 1.5

    This is the kind of professor that makes you want to come to class. The material is well-explained, and I did not meet a single person that didn't pass his class. Moreover, Professor Talis is BEAUTIFUL.

    The only complaint I have is his weird mood swings.

    One day, he went to class with sad puppy eyes, head down, and dropped dramatically on his chair. He gave us some papers and told us to "do whatever" because he had a fight with his partner and was not in the mood. Maybe his wife threatened to leave without him. That's the only evident answer to him banging his head on his desk with tears in his eyes.

    He was fine the next day tho.

    Love him.

    ------------------

    The reviews were getting out of hand.

    Viktor did not care a single bit about them.

    Jayce, on the contrary...

    Summary

    The ink hadn’t even dried up on Jayce’s PhD diploma when the job offer landed in his inbox. Prestigious, well-funded, and in a country he had never even considered moving to. At the time, it had seemed like the opportunity of a lifetime.

    But being there now, staring at a stack of unread emails, most of them marked urgent in varying degrees of exaggeration, Jayce wonders if he’d been a little too eager to say yes.

    He came here to innovate, teach, and change the game, but lately, it feels like he spends more time fighting bureaucracy than breaking ground.

    And there’s also Viktor.

    or

    Jayce tries to keep his longings locked, but fails miserably

    Summary

    !! SPOILERS FOR ARCANE S2 PART 3 !!

    They were supposed to die, then, a better ending than Viktor expected. Far sweeter than he deserved. Jayce’s hand warm and broad against his neck, foreheads tipped together, breaths fanning over skin. It was neat. It was nice.

    And then he woke up, splayed in a field, draped in the tatters of Jayce’s blanket. A groan rose from his left, then some pitiful shuffling before a final, loud thump, accompanied by a slight warble.
