Summary
After his bondmate is lost at the launch of the Enterprise-B, a grief-stricken Spock vows to return the favour Jim once did him: to return his body to the planet of his birth. But to have any chance of doing so, he will need to track down the anomaly that almost destroyed the Enterprise. Following a report of similar phenomena takes him to an area of space that has not been explored since the first five-year mission of the original Enterprise, facing an unstable anomaly giving off strong chronaton radiation...
Four years into their five-year mission, tired of wrestling with his feelings for his first officer, Captain James Kirk is uniquely vulnerable to the arrival of an older, wiser version of Spock: one who has loved him for years, and is not afraid to have his feelings known...

Summary
Spock has made a grievous error. He has rebuffed and rebuked Jim’s friendship—worse, his very nature—at every turn since Jim’s ascendancy to captain of the Enterprise. And now that Jim has withdrawn, now that Jim has given up, Spock has finally realized the value of what was being offered.

Summary
“We were wrong about the pollen from Cetus II not affecting him,” Bones says in an undertone. “He didn’t get his senses tangled up like the others, though. It targeted his psionic abilities.”
or, Spock's telepathy gets screwed up on an away mission. Laying hands on his crewmates to train his senses back to normal is the only cure. Jim is happy to help—even if there are some feelings he'd rather keep to himself.

Summary
Kirk is working at Starfleet's Department for Interplanetary Affairs, when he'd rather be in the stars. But he takes comfort from texting with his online chess buddy.
Spock was born to be a prince, but his speech impediment makes it impossible to fit into his father's plans for him. Only in writing does he show his true self.
But when they meet in person, not knowing each other's online identities...they could hardly get along worse.

Summary
While attempting to infiltrate and disband Atillius, one of the galaxy's most brutal and notorious alien gladiator rings, Spock and McCoy are taken and trafficked into the organization.
Kirk and the rest of the crew manage to rescue them months later, but when they do, they find that neither of them are the same anymore.
------
"The healers told him that the psyche was a delicate thing, that it might be hard to understand exactly what was going on in his first officer's head after such intense trauma.
Jim thought it wasn’t hard to understand at all. It was quite simple when you looked at it this way; Spock, forced to fight to the death for his and McCoy's life day after day, had lost his mind in the process. He'd become Atillius's perfect killing machine, and in the end, it had driven him insane."

NOW FINISHED "When ancient seafaring ships fought battles the decks would become slippery with blood. They used to scatter sand to give the sailors traction as they fought to reload the cannons. Starships don't carry sand. But right now, on deck 5, that looks like an oversight."
Something is wrong on Deneb III. And something is wrong with Kirk too. Attempt to write TOS style with its roots in a TOS episode.

Summary
In the world of the Platonians there is no life, not really. Alexander hasn't been able to feel truly on his own since to this planet they came. And yet once he meets a man, golden, with a stubborn head and strong heart, he realizes fully that all he has ever wished is to not be like the Platonians with powers. He wants to be free.
Leonard McCoy has always, above all else, worked to do no harm. He has seen much on this mission, but never before has he been asked to do something such as this. All he wants is to help, but here, in this place and with these people, he is unsure that he can.
Nyota Uhura wants to be as free in the rest of the galaxy as she feels upon the Enterprise. She and Chapel have talked, but the difference in their experience makes some troubles hard for Christine to understand. And when they're on this planet she realizes just how far one's fear can spread.
Kirk will be damned if he doesn't get his team back to the ship. All of his team to the ship. He won't stand for the ache in Bones' eyes, or the drawn-out agony of emotion suffered by Spock, the fear Uhura feels, or the enslavement forced upon Alexander.
All here, all suffering, yet all determined to endure.

“So, why haven't you settled down with some lucky lady yet?” the interviewer asks.
Maybe it's the blinding set-lights, or the fact that he hasn't slept in thirty-five hours. But for some reason Kirk blurts, “Honestly, they all end up getting jealous of Spock.”- Language:
