    Summary

    His dreams had fallen through his hands like stardust. Without anything more compelling to do with his life, he'd thrown in his lot with the little ragtag group of eco-terrorists attempting to overthrow a global megacorporation - and not just because of the strange, quiet man who lingered near the edges of everything. Now that the stakes had changed, he found himself attempting to save the world with them, instead.

    No one could say his life had been boring, at least. What else could Cid Highwind accomplish, if he set his mind to it?

    Summary

    Healing isn't a linear process - not for the planet, and not for Vincent. Especially not when he’s confronted with immortality and an eternity of trying to move on from a past that remains ever-present.
    ---
    It seemed like an appropriate punishment for someone who was, for the longest time, desperate for death, to become incapable of it. To believe you existed for no reason– to want to exist for no reason– and end up with a purpose beyond what human language could communicate. These are the thoughts that came to Vincent while he lay on the verge of the closest he could ever get to death.
    ---
    Title is from an album by Sisters of Mercy. Rating is for: swearing, violence, discussions of trauma/abuse/ptsd etc.

    Summary

    Spock looks up at the gorgeous, golden man above him, the knowledge that this beautiful specimen desires him filling him with a sudden boldness. His hands trail down Jim’s back until they reach their destination, squeezing his firm buttocks with each palm. Jim lets out a yelp in surprise, then gives him an absolutely filthy grin.

    “I want-!”

    And then Spock wakes up.
    -----------------------------------
    At the age of thirty-seven, Spock experiences his first real crush.

    There are three problems with this.

    One, he has no idea how to navigate these new feelings.

    Two, it very quickly becomes more than just a crush.

    And three, the object of his affections is one Captain James T. Kirk.
