    Summary

    The thing about John is there was always a part of him that liked to test people. Their patience, their limits - he’d make a mental note of how far he could joke around, or how much he could give someone shit before they snapped. It lost him some friends, but the biggest takeaway John got from this was:

    He liked it when people pushed back.

    Summary

    “Blessed Spirit, we thank you for the gift of this child’s life. We are forever in your debt.” The whole village is kneeling now, even the tiniest toddlers flopped down on their stomachs doing their best approximation of a bow. “Please, won’t you give us a name to call you? We would like to properly express our gratitude.”

    Oh.

    Well shit.

    (Where Zuko saves a little Earth Kingdom girl from drowning, the villagers think he's a Spirit, build him a shrine, and long story short, a fake story about the Blue Spirit who dances with dragons suddenly becomes very real.)

    Summary

    Jim Kirk wasn’t supposed to have a roommate at Starfleet Academy—especially not a Vulcan one with too much discipline and zero tolerance for chaos. But what begins as a bureaucratic error turns into late-night debates, entirely too much eye contact, and four years of shared space neither of them really wants to give up. Spock documents everything. Jim leaves snarky annotations. Somewhere between the arguments and the quiet cups of tea, something real begins to form.

    Love, as it turns out, is just a series of annotated behavioral logs waiting for a final conclusion.

    Jim writes the last entry.
    Spock signs it: yes.

    Summary

    Some people assume Vulcans, being desert creatures, wouldn't like to get wet.

    What they don't understand is that Vulcans, being desert creatures, appreciate water more than anyone else.
