CodenameCarrot

A green bath with a mortician window; a lady is facing away fom the viewer, naked except for a cloth slug low around her hips. Perhaps she'll enter the bath, perhaps she's just an attendant, preparing the room for a future bather.

    The View from T'Khut by Laura JV (laurajv)
    74860506

    The one where Vulcan is gone and Vulcan is not yet. So much Spock, in all the best ways. (Non-linear in the ephemera, so it will take a second read to absorb all of the details and breadcrumbs Laura JV left for us here.)


    Kirk said, "Do we know where the Narada is headed now?"

    Nyota nodded. "Their trajectory suggests they are headed for Earth."

    "There aren't any other inhabited systems between 40 Eridani and Sol," Chekov added. "There is nowhere else it could be."

    "Nevasa," Spock said, sharply; Earth starcharts used Earth names, and so did Starfleet. That had never bothered him before, but it suddenly seemed like another violation, as if erasing Nevasa's name was part of erasing his people. "Between Nevasa and Sol."

    And I Know That It's Not Easy by Dira Sudis (dsudis)
    157005

    Gregor and his son. I cried (good tears.)


    It wasn't until he was nine or ten years old that he thought about what having a son would mean. He was sitting at breakfast, and Miles was babbling about something. Gregor had looked over at Aral and found that Aral was listening--really listening, and Gregor had recently learned how to spot the difference on his Lord Regent's face. Gregor had realized at that moment that Aral had always really listened to Miles, and he thought when I have a son, I will pay attention to him like that.

    Summary

    Master Qui-Gon left Obi-Wan to raise Anakin (a sand-crusted child from a backwater planet who doesn't even know what bathing is) as his padawan. Unfortunately, there are some things about Anakin that he should have been clearer about.

    Care and Keeping of your Sand Gremlin by LordCombatWhiskey
    82173701

    A more whimsical take on what it means to be a child of the force. (Hint: water = flowers)


    A week of living with Anakin has Obi-Wan flummoxed. Even with cleaning droids sweeping the floors at night, there’s almost always a fine trail of sand from Anakin’s bedroom to the kitchen. Every time Obi-Wan sits on the sofa, he has to brush off the cushions. How is Anakin leaving this much sand everywhere?

    Pu-erh by yeaka
    82168711

    A single scene between the two chancellors, that is bittersweet for what it is and what it yearns to be.


    She thrusts her thermos over, and he gets a faint whiff of something herbal and sweet. Visible steam wafts out of it. She gestures, trying to give it to him, and a part of him really wants to take it, but his brain kicks in, and he doesn’t. She rolls her eyes and pulls it back to take a long sip, idle and indulgent, but that means nothing—he knows her taste buds are as off-kilter as the rest of her. She tries to pass it back to him as though she’s proven it’s not poison. He knows she wouldn’t poison him. Probably.

    He says, “That’s unhygienic.” They’re not at that stage yet. Maybe there is some world, far in the absurd future, where he and Nahla Ake are comfortable enough to share a tea cup, where the thought might even thrill instead of repulse him. It would repulse him with most people. With her, he hesitates, overrun with what ifs.

    Four Times Ake and Kelrec Were Trapped Together and One Time They Were Trapped Apart by DoubleStashed
    78380321

    Does exactly what it says on the tin. An alternative ending to the first season or some number or season(s) (although it could plausibly be running concurrently with the season through episode 8) with all of the great Star Trek tropes of being trapped somewhere that fits on a single sound-stage.

    ----

    She nudged his foot again. “You know, in the early days of Starfleet they used to shoot rocks with their phasers to heat them, and use them to stay warm in situations like this.”

    “Don't shoot anything.” He opens his eyes to look at her. “And there is no way that can be true. It's ridiculously dangerous.”
