Summary
AU. Christine Chapel's life has had a few setbacks lately. Her PhD studies have hit a snag, her bestie can't bail her out with housing, and with classes at Starfleet Academy starting soon, Christine faces that she may be trapped in a situation worse than death. She may have to move back into the upperclassman dorms.
Yet not everything is going badly. When her upstairs neighbors throw a rager the night before classes start, she storms up to destroy the party and meets Spock, a brilliant Vulcan PhD student who's equally miserable about the noise. What should be a simple one-night stand turns into more as Christine realizes she might have accidentally found the perfect arrangement: regular stress relief with someone who understands that relationships are just unnecessarily complicated. No emotions, no expectations, just really excellent sex with a Vulcan who takes direction very, very well.
Life is perfect. Until it's suddenly not.

Summary
The Pilot was not a person.
This was a truism included in what it meant to be a Gorn. The Hive was a person. The Pilot was a cell. She was not the part that made the decisions, or the part that passed on genetic material, or the part whose life had individual value.
She repeated this to herself sometimes, as she sat with her leg throbbing with pain, growing increasingly infected, lest she fall prey to hope.

Summary
Doctor Leonard McCoy and Captain Christopher Pike both have their share of struggles. Their first meeting should have gone very differently than it did. McCoy was looking for one thing but ended up finding something completely unexpected. At their second meeting, Doctor McCoy saves Captain Pike's life, although Pike is unconscious at the time. By the time they meet on the Enterprise, they can't ignore the undeniable connection between them. Could it be a soul bond? As far as either of them knew, soul bonds weren't supposed to happen the way this one did.
After a while, they began to wonder if there was a larger conspiracy that was trying to keep them apart.

Summary
Time is unforgiving.
The future waits for no one.
The fate of the universe is woven into every decision, and a single choice can break the thread that holds everything together. It is not only the unknown beyond the stars that threatens to destroy them, but the shadows of their own system, the scars of their history, and the inevitable question of what price is worth paying for eternity.
When the past and the future collide, the final frontier is not space.
It is time.But it feels like an eternity
Since I had you here with me
Since I had to learn to be
Someone you don't know
To be with you in paradise
What I wouldn't sacrifice
Why'd you have to chase the light
Somewhere I can't go? -

Summary
Nameless and alone, a house made of ruins, and a gaze that looked at the stars.
It was meant for her to fight when no one did, when no one wanted.
When a small action starts Armageddon, a domino effect that's about to collapse everything to its starting point.
It lay on her, the responsibilities of change.
And the only one standing against it.
She, the person rejected by both worlds.
"I was born from the stars, and I would die for them."

Summary
The new Klingon leader, Chancellor L'Rell, has agreed to move forward with peace talks. Discovery, having just returned from nine months in the mirror universe, is critically understaffed, so fifty officers from Enterprise are sent there on temporary duty assignment, including most of the command crew. Amidst the stress of the negotiations, Spock and Christine are left torn between their past and current crewmates.
A story in which Christine fights addiction, Spock is frequently homicidal, Tyler is branded a traitor, and Pike suspects the Klingons aren't serious about wanting peace.
Sequel to Implications of Austerity.
Spock valued the Enterprise crewmen. He valued the Discovery crewmen.
He did not value the conflicts which almost immediately arose between them.Series
