In the Terran Universe, Enterprise is returning home in triumph after five years of conquests expanding Georgiou's possessions. Gabriel Lorca is plotting to seize power.

Pike/Una, Chapel/Spock, Pike/Aalin

Una calls Erica to the ready room before things get out of hand.

La'an finds out Christine is ticklish.

Una surprises Erica.

While locked up, Una finds out who told Starfleet Command she is Illyrian.

Erica knows how to distract Una from her problems.

After a forced experiment in unity, Spock, Chapel, La'an (and T'Pring) need to talk some stuff out.

Chapel hooked up with a stranger, a Keih. Two days later he joins Enterprise's crew. For Chapel, Laskaris was a good time she has no wish to repeat, for him she's much, much more. She is also busy hiding her attraction to Spock. Oh and according to Keih she and Laskaris are now engaged. Laskaris is telekinetic. Chapel/OC, Chapel/Spock, Chapel & Spock.

Pike/Chapel is NOT NOT NOT a pairing I've ever wanted to do. But the muse would not stop murmuring that she wanted me to. I also don't do omniscient very often but she and the characters demanded it. I hope you enjoy it. Please don't kill me.

Spock is not given to dreams. When he does dream, they are nightmares. So why does he now have a dream that is not a nightmare? Why does he dream of a human, of Christine? Set after the re-bonding scene with T'Pring in "The Serene Squall" but in place of Spock's talk with Chapel in sickbay. This is just a one off. Not part of the series.

Summary: Negotiations with the Tholians goes sideways, leaving Pike and crew to deal with the mess. Also posted on A03.

A reimagined or 'filled-in' take of Una's imprisonment on Kiley 279 from her and Pike's point of view. Both think back to the beginnings of their relationship. Pike/Una This piece contains spoilers for Strange New Worlds episodes 1 and 3.

Mostly an interlude. New roles mean new reactions, new friends bring new insight, new love can leave people out, and a relationship might be restored after years of neglect.. Part 6 of the Other Paths series. Spock/Chapel and Pike/Number One with hints of Chapel & La'an .

Summary: After Una has eaten strong aphrodisiacs, her behavior towards the Captain changes. Also posted on A03

Syboc or Spock? They look the same to me! The enterprise crew is in for a challenge when Spock and Syboc switch lives, and Angle again threatens to take the ship. Will Syboc go back to his cell or will he pretend to be Spock forever? Continue to find out...

An alternate ending to Ghosts of Illyria. And perhaps the beginnings of Pike and Una finding their way back to each other told through a series of extra scenes and codas for Strange New Worlds Season 1. Pike/Una

So many possibilities, new paths ahead both wanted and not so, love, loss, and that space in between. Part 5 of the Other Paths series. Spock/Chapel and Pike/Number One with hints of Chapel & La'an .

Continuing Chapel & La'an into s01e04. The story follows on from 'Fully Aware' and 'Warm Air Like Treacle', which provide some context but aren't essential reading.

Summary: Spock calls at an inconvenient time. Pike/Una

Separations and reunions, truths and lies, verdicts and goodbyes. Part 4 in the Other Paths series. Spock/Chapel with hints of Chapel & La'an and Pike/Number One. See notes at end for comments about this one.

Progress is made to help Number One, people connect over shared pain, and of course there's relationship fun and angst. Part 3 of the Other Paths series. It will make more sense if you read the first two installments first. This and future stories will probably be more of an ensemble feel than the first two.

Sort of a pre- and post-ep for "The Quality of Mercy" so spoilers. This is part 2 of the Other Paths series. Follows directly on "Wander No More" so it may help to read that first.

"If there are self-made purgatories, then we all have to live in them. Mine can be no worse than someone else's." Spock's words, but they apply just as well to Stonn, T'Pring, and Christine Chapel.

His debilitating accident to come hangs over Pike's head like a razor-sharp sword. Now on leave he must come to terms with his fate as well as decide if his life can continue as it was. During these weeks his dreams are set in a future. Are these parts of the destiny he accepted on Boreth? Or paths forever closed? Or something else? Dad vibes. Pike/Aalin
