This is a really well-written take on the Into Darkness movie, with wonderful character studies and a ton of angst to gladden my heart. I love Pouxin's writing and this story doesn't disappoint.

Xenolinguistics, Astrophysics, and Love: The Complete Education of a Starship Captain by chiralove
Fandoms: Star Trek: Alternate Original Series (Movies)
14 Oct 2016
This work isn't hosted on the Archive so this blurb might not be complete or accurate.
Tags
Summary
It isn't enough for Jim to learn warp drive mechanics from the instructor in his Advanced Starship Technologies class. Spock thinks that he ought to be able to repair a warp drive in his sleep, give directions to someone else repairing one in the dark, and build one from scratch - or at least that's the impression that Jim gets from his lesson.
When he confronts Spock about it, Spock just raises one eyebrow and says, in his perfectly calm "humans are irrational but I will respond in a rational manner" tone of voice, "Would you want to serve under a starship captain who did not have those abilities? Or would you want to be the starship captain who let down his crew when he did not possess them?"
There is no answer for that of course, so Jim grumbles a little more and grabs the book out of Spock's hands. It's amazing, really, how even when Jim's actions are completely unpremeditated and lacking in flirtation, Spock manages to avoid even the slightest contact with him.

Bookmarker's Notes
Rosa joins Amy's book club. Amy is scared. Amy's New Criticism conflicts (briefly) with Rosa's Critical Theory approach to reading and analysis. They come to a detente over their rules, their passion for literature, and rigidly-drawn boundaries. PERFECTLY in character, PERFECT voices that I could hear in my HEAD (NOT my forte). Hijinks. Hilarity. Pranks on Jake. Pyromania. I'm in love.

Summary
Frank is a logger living a life of isolation up in the mountains of Seward, Alaska. Running from his grief, he has retreated so far into himself that he couldn't find his way out if he tried.
Karen is an author who has rented the cabin down the way from Frank’s in order to get away and write her next novel in solitude. Having suffered severe writer's block, she's hoping that the quietude of Alaska will help her find her muse.
After years of falling apart, the universe has decided that it's time for these two to fall together.
"Frank watched her, with her head thrown back, fascinated. It had been a minute since he’d made anyone other than Curtis and David laugh. He was surprised at how easily it was coming to him—how relatively effortless it was to talk to Karen. He supposed, in part, it was because of her profession; he was sure that someone who spent most of their time studying people and writing dialogue would be a great conversationalist. But it also felt like he was dusting off the parts of him that used to be really good at this—the parts of him that were capable of making Maria laugh; were comfortable joking around. The parts that, while creaky and unused, were still there."

The only good thing that might've gone right about their day is sharing a kiss with their soulmate...if only they could remember who that was.
