Summary
Hogan takes pride in many things. His operation, his men, his control over Klink. He's a master manipulator and a criminal genius, no doubt. And he won't let his emotions get the better of him... probably.
Klink knows Hogan manipulates him. Nevertheless, Klink aims to survive the war by playing the fool. One would think that two years of pining would have him on the brink of insanity. Quite the opposite. And even if he was, his ego is too big to admit that. Though, that doesn't change how he feels about Hogan.
Newkirk's not just a thief, he's a thief with a backstory.
Carter is a lovable pyromaniac who fears he isn't good enough.
LeBeau is in a state of recovery after a near-death experience.
And Kinch is... he's trying his best (like me, illustrious author).

Summary
A look into the Personal Logs of a Linguist on Deep Space Nine, who is uncovering the funniest and sweetest translation errors, and trying to patch the UT along the way.
***
And if you had asked Lieutenant Wittgenstein, who was currently tasked with the next report on the use of the UT on Deep Space Nine, which was a special case, what with all the Gamma Quadrant languages mingling in the matrix now, nevermind the decidedly casual language the UT was being exposed to at Quarks, she could have told you a number of things. The UT memory bank transcripts, heavily encrypted and for the linguists’ eyes only, of course, were littered with missed moments, lost meanings, and mix-ups. For instance…- Language:

Summary
A story of gentleness. And joy. And love.
"Am I the complication?" Data asked.
Following the events on Ligon II, Data struggles to reconcile the discrepancies between Tasha's verbal and nonverbal communication. His attempts to better understand what's happening lead to him frustrating both Geordi and Tasha. Rooted heavily in canon. Some variation. Data has feelings.
Retelling of the first series of The Next Generation. Data/Tasha fluff and angst. Yes, I will go down defending this ship. This story covers the events of the first season of TNG (and beyond). Missing scenes. Original adventures. Slight canon divergence. Concerned about the length? Check the comments!

Summary
The gist of it was this: infiltrate La Puta Madre, get key names, dates and locations, and get out. As if this was an easy task, and not something the RCM had been struggling to achieve successfully for decades.
The Moralintern’s present, Benjamin Setsuna, was a recent addition to the Madre, previously not physically present within the Jamrock locale. La Madre knew a name, that he was Seolite, his necessary business dealings, but had never actually seen the man.
Kim resented that this task had fallen to him, as the precinct’s only high ranking Seolite officer. He had accepted the task, mask carefully in place, but he felt Harry shift angrily next to him at their secondary briefing.

"As I said, people change. I thought this evening I could make an exception. Consider it extenuating circumstances."
"To change," Harry said, grabbing the half-empty bottle and raising it into the air in a mock toast before pouring it out into the sea. "Hopefully for the better."

Summary
Kim Kitsuragi went to solve a murder in a long-abandoned corner of town. He found much more than he expected: a disaster, and a miracle. A new partner, and a fresh start.
He has, by most sensible measures, objectively terrible taste in men.
Harry Du Bois woke up with no memories, helped solve a murder, got shot a little bit, had a sexual epiphany, and fell head-over-heels in love. He thinks he might have been a bad person, before. He's trying to be a good person now.
He's also exactly Kim's type.

ELECTROCHEMISTRY: Yeah. Lots of stuff to do in Jamrock. Like speed and hard liquor. Or crying in the bathroom of a dive bar because you’re too fucked up on speed and liquor.
SUGGESTION: He probably wouldn’t go for that.

ELECTROCHEMISTRY: Oh buddy, are you sure you’re ready to open that can of worms?---
