    Summary

    ...the god may speak in the forms of geometry as well as in the shapes of dreams; in the harmony of pure thought as well as in the harmony of sounds; in numbers as well as in words.
    -- Ursula K. LeGuin

    The View from T'Khut

      Part I: The Absent World. The planet vanishes, but her people go on.
      Part II: An Archaeology of Loss. The world-death left a scar in spacetime, and a void in the heart of the Federation.
      Part III: Time and Darkness. In which Ambassador Spock fires unexpected shots.

    Summon the Future

    One man can change the present. -- James T. Kirk

    Appendix: Vulcan vocabulary

    I am interested in the lacunae of the destruction of Vulcan, and the shape of its future, post-Nero. This story does not explore all of my ideas about that, but it explores some of them. At one point I said to Beatrice, "am I secretly writing a post-apocalyptic story about utopia as praxis?"

    This series uses Kelvin/AOS style stardates.

    Summary

    rise, rise, like the souls from the tombs at the blast of the aureate flugelhorn. No more remain prone upon the dripdripdrip of the impenetrable floor of the world, sleep no more on the bedrock ‘neath the wandering eye of the black-cowled reaper dragging scraping prone upon the ground to stalk its prey. One WHACK ‘fol the down, and no more, nevermore; never again arise.

    Summary

    When Spock begins eating three times his normal intake and his stomach starts growling audibly on the bridge, Jim Kirk does what Jim Kirk does — he notices, he shows up, and he refuses to let Spock push through it alone. What neither of them knows is that the hunger is only the beginning. That Spock's body has already decided something his mind has been refusing to acknowledge for four years and seven months. That the Vulcan Science Academy will call it a physiological cycle and McCoy will call it above his pay grade and T'Pring, from Vulcan, will call it by its right name — the human, she says, with the precision of someone who has been aware of him for three years through a bond worn thin by distance and disuse.

    Spock calls it worse than that.

    Spock calls it Jim.

    A slow burn set during the five year mission, in which Spock's body knows what it wants long before Spock is willing to name it, Jim Kirk has always been paying attention, T'Pring is more understanding than expected, McCoy is a better doctor than anyone deserves, and the hunger is a metaphor and also completely literal.

    Reh‑Sha’k‑Torv by ForFucksSakeJim

    the style of this is lovely and the emotional tension etc. all lovely

    there are some editing and continuity errors so be aware before reading. i think they're mostly the product of how it was written & published and would not have been very obvious to anyone reading along but reading it all at once they are noticeable.

    Some obvious aos leakage in the eyes sometimes.
