    Summary

    It's a big universe, ripe for the Empire's taking and Captain Kirk is the best in the business at the art of taking things for the Empire. Armed with a phaser, a dagger, and a mostly emotionless Vulcan, Kirk conquers every shithole star the universe can throw at him.

    He's not gonna let a pesky thing like love get in his way. Not when there's beautiful people to fuck, assholes to blast into atomic dust, and a starship crew that listens when he gets to bark out his favorite order:

    "Kill everything!"

    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

    While they submitted to their medical examinations, Spock did his best to keep from watching his captain too closely, but he found his eyes drifting that way again and again.
    It was illogical, he told himself, to feel as though he were seeing Jim again for the first time in weeks. The space they had shared in New York had been one intended for a single human. They had breathed the same cold air in that one room, and all but tripped over each other with every movement.

    * * *

    Which is to say, Edith Keeler had to die, so now Jim can't sleep alone, and Spock doesn't really understand grieving humans, but he's pretty sure it's inappropriate to express romantic interest in Jim while he's still mourning someone else, which would all be a lot easier if Jim weren't in his bed, wouldn't it?
