Summary
Excerpt: The first time it happened, Nick was secretly convinced that Helen, somehow, had managed the art of manipulating time to do her bidding. (...) So Claudia was gone, Nick's life was left in shambles, and, well...to say he handled it well would have been a bold-faced lie.
The second time it happened, however, Nick almost didn't notice. -

Summary
or: The Conversation Nick Never Wanted to Have
Excerpt: It was Christmas Eve, and the snow came down so thick it looked like a white sheet had been hung in front of the headlights, the steady tick tock of the windscreen wipers the only sound disrupting the sullen quiet. Used to be, the silence between them felt comfortable, Nick contemplated while furtively glancing at his passenger, the by now familiar, nauseating swirl of contradictory emotions souring the memories.

Summary
Excerpt: Becoming friends with the very same drunken, arrogant would-be-suitor from over three years ago who was now officially her captain was something Nyota would never have even considered in the past. Kirk was amusing in small doses, annoying the days she had to share more than two classes with him and utterly, utterly intolerable in large quantities. She had absolutely no idea how Dr. McCoy put up with him. It happened so gradually she never even saw it coming...

Summary
Excerpt: There was a certain pattern evolving, Spock contemplated idly and with a worrying degree of resignation as he dragged his captain along the stone corridors of the palace, a firm hand on the other man's biceps.

Summary
Excerpt: He'd lost sight of Sylar pretty fast in the turmoil that had followed Claire's jump off the Ferris Wheel. The truth was, Peter hadn't gone out of his way to go looking for the other man. (...) For all that they'd found common ground in Sylar's prison, Peter didn't yet know where to go from there. Being stuck together in a nightmare was one thing – out here, in a world they'd left behind years ago, a world where their lives didn't just revolve around each other, he had trouble deciding on how to deal with a reformed Sylar.

Summary
Excerpt: Stephen (...). Peter didn't like the guy any better the more he heard of him, but he didn't do anything to discourage Sylar from meeting with him again either. On the contrary, only a few days later he found himself pushing Sylar into accepting a dinner invitation (he wasn't entirely sure which one of them refused to call it a date).
