    Summary

    I’m crammed into a burrow so small that my knees are up around my ears and the boom mike keeps slamming into my head, inhaling the potent scent of toffee-apple brandy and trying to drink a talking mouse under the table.

    Summary

    Lt. Kirk has been given a simple mission that will help repair his demoted career: to clear a small suspected rebel colony base. But his team fails him and Kirk must rely on his own daring and some unexpected help to save himself. In addition to the colony war, relations between Vulcan and Earth are breaking down to a dangerous level. From his small command, Kirk must deal with crew biases, questionable orders, and worrisome unofficial messages that put his new love for Spock under strain. Kirk in true Kirkian style has to pull everyone together and try and repair a broken Federation. Spock must face his family's past, the rebels within Vulcan, and his father's extreme dislike of his close relationship with Kirk.

    Set in a universe that is as close to the TOS universe as I could make it and still pull off my story. I wanted to write a younger Kirk trying to command and be a hero under much worse circumstances and pair him with a younger, more sheltered Spock.

    This story is an attempt at an action/adventure space version of Patrick O'Brian's Aubrey-Maturin (AKA Master and Commander) Series but still remains a love story at its heart in typical kirk/spock fashion.

    Summary

    As Pete’s eyes go round and unseeing at the unremarkable expanse of grainy hotel ceiling, he pictures instead, for that split wide open second, some of the moments that got him here. Just snapshots. Freezeframe fragments.

    Figure 1: A shared hotel bed, the morning of the 1997 Northbrook Soccer Sectionals. Pete and a teammate. Pete tucked into the curl of his teammate’s body, a thicker, paler arm thrown over the dip between his hips and his ribs. Thin white bed sheets tangled between their legs. So limp in sleep their muscles haven’t remembered to be sore yet. Pete’s dumb sink-bleached hair irredeemably kinked. A half-chub digging into Pete’s spine. Alarm set to blare at 6:30 am. (“Sorry, dude,” his teammate says, after Pete’s elbowed him off and they’ve both cursed each other out and put shirts on. “I rolled over in my sleep and you’re like, the exact same size as my girlfriend.”)
