Summary
“I will not apologize for speaking the truth,” the child says. “However, I regret if that truth has offended you.”
“Jesus Christ, kid,” Jim mutters.
“I am not offended,” Spock responds, as blandly as he is able. “I was remiss in casting such hasty judgment upon your guardian.”
”Father,” she corrects.
”Your father,” he agrees.
*****
An academy AU + Tarsus aftermath fic in which James T. Kirk ends up accidentally parentally bonded to an orphaned Vulcan child. When the father/daughter duo enroll in Star Fleet, hijinks ensue (mostly at the expense of Spock’s previously immaculate but quickly deteriorating self-control).
Winner of the 2025 Philon Award for a novel-length fic (!!!)

Summary
When a simple C-rank mission turns into a straight-up nightmare, the members of Team Seven narrowly escape with their lives. They end up stuck in the middle of nowhere, each of them injured and forced to rely on one another for help.
They’ve only been a team for a couple of weeks, still distant from one another, still trying hard to prove themselves. But when they’re all hurt and struggling desperately to survive, they have no choice but to lower their walls.
Stranded far away from the village, Team Seven fights to get back home safely – but with help impossibly far away, with their food supplies shrinking and with their injuries slowing them down, their journey becomes more difficult with every step.
In the wake of their struggle, though, their bonds grow steadily stronger.

Summary
Family, duty, honor. These are the principles that Catelyn Tully was raised on, and had made an inseparable part of herself. A change in her character due to childhood trauma caused a ripple effect, changing all her children’s outlook on life and changing the course of Westeros’s history forever.
Catelyn will protect her family, and as a Stark that includes her new husband’s bastard son. Jon is forever a Stark, raised as Robb’s younger twin.
Catelyn will do her duty and raise her children to be strong enough to protect their family and preserve their way of life. Robb forgoes any notion of marrying for love and secures his alliance with the Frey.
Honor. Well, with both family and duty coming first, there's often little chance for honor to ever come into the equation.

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.
