A cup full of truth

Some things are worth lying for.

Those moments during the nights before the mornings after the nights before where the whole thing suddenly becomes glaringly real, and what to do about it. Don't worry- it'll make sense.

'I love you' as a philosophical conundrum. What do we mean by that? Discuss.

It's just meta enough to be meta: the AR wall, the boulders, the more things change the more they stay the same. Personally, I could do without all the flashy visual stuff if it gave me a better show to watch. I don't need sparkles, just give me a good story. I'll settle for 480p if it means you spend the money on writers, directors, acting and run time. Very much in that order.

Amanda tried to save SPock's engagement, but Spock is more interested in a tryst with Christine and completing a five-year mission on the Enterprise. Meanwhile, Christine has other plans. Guess who is left to pick up the pieces. Spock/T'Pring, Spock/Christine Spock/Uhura, Pike, Korby, Una, Ortega.

An AU one, but with dancing, because nothing's -that- AU. Also, I feel like my attempt to bump La'an up the 'Chapel ships' rating is cluttering up the feed here. Let me know if it's annoying, I could consolidate them into chapters instead.

'And dark are the waters' part 2

Bondage - sort of. It's sweet.

Deleted scenes, character development, and other odds and ends for Strange New Worlds Season 2. Contains Spoilers. Each chapter title will be prefaced with the episode number.

Any opportunity...

Shore leave's always a gamble. This one pays off.

The tiniest little fix-it for s02e05, because who has time to work through canon.

Strange New Words Season Two additional scenes in the Chris/Aalin 'i carry your heart' universe. As there are few hints as to where Spock and Chapel's relationship is headed in this season, I've decided to post my Spock/Chapel scenes here. Ensemble cast. This series contains spoilers for Strange New Worlds Season 2. Each chapter title will be prefaced with the episode number.

Post s2e1. Following Chapel and La'an as they negotiate the sadness that so far is season 2, and hopefully fixing some of that along the way. Which means first off Chapel is going to therapy, despite my many previous protestations to the contrary, because she did in fact -die- and surely that would be mandated, right? Part 10 in this series, though reading the rest is not required.

Inspired by a tumblr prompt I couldn't get out of my head: TNG always makes a big deal of how Picard isn't comfortable commanding a ship with children on board. Tell me Pike would not LOVE having kids on his ship. Chapters will be vignettes.

Set post s01e09 and onwards. Chapel and La'an experience the events of the second Gorn encounter in a way that hopefully allows the episode to make a little more emotional sense, and then have to negotiate their long distance non-relationship afterwards. Let the drama roll. (Nominally a queer romance, mostly an advice column to start with, sorry about that)

La'an and Erica find time for a not-so-quick shower before they both have to go on duty. Reviews appreciated.

After the events of Strange New Worlds, Season 1, Episode 10, (A Quality Of Mercy) Spock feels that certain events relayed to Captain Pike may not have been valid. Tempting fate, he contacts someone who attempts to clear up what he sees as discrepancies.

Once the physical injuries from Talos healed, Chris resolutely moved on. When he met someone who called to his heart and each time the moment was right to become lovers he pulled back. Unwilling to trust himself. For the Talos incident was more than kidnapping, imprisonment, mind-control. It was a violation of the deepest and most intimate kind. And perhaps there was no way back.
