Summary
Call him crazy, but the air has felt clearer since that late afternoon adventure with Stanley and the Cubitum Serpentibus just two days ago. Despite the pseudo-silent treatment or the occasional side-eye or just the straight-up ignoring each other, somehow it was easier to breathe around him if they weren’t actually screaming at each other or being threatened by a maniacal Probabilitor.
Perhaps it really was just him!
[...]
His eyes sank shut to an even darker blackness than the apparent early morning hour. Something leapt somewhere in his peripheral nervous system from the reminder of a solid black place behind his eyelids. Dealing with the past 40 years was much easier yesterday. How could anyone hold a family member accountable for an unforgiving and dangerous decision and yet thank them for saving their lives without getting emotional after to day ?!

Summary
When Jim Kirk moved back home to Iowa and took the ED nurse job recommended by his friend McCoy, he was expecting it to be a calm change of pace from his old urban hospital. Instead, it's the same shit, just with crappier equipment and a smaller staff. His fellow nurses are great, thankfully, and the lab tech on the other end of the phone has a particularly nice voice.
Spock, former Chemistry technical specialist and perpetual night shift lead, prefers to focus on his work without interruption. Constantly calling critical results to the floor is inconvenient, especially when the new ED charge nurse has such a pleasant laugh.
Hospital AU, featuring flirting over the Vocera, needlessly detailed medical jargon, and a disgusting amount of love paid to the lab staff.

Only one bed. One night in a couple’s house. One offhand joke about being together. One silly roleplay between the sheets. Maybe one playful little kiss... And the sex... Oh, just once...

Summary
It all starts with Q forcing Picard to spend some time with him. One hour, each night. Q is certain this bit of social engineering will make them the fastest of friends, but Picard thinks differently, as usual.
Expect realism and angst, but a satisfying ending. Takes place after TNG, only accounts for TNG canon.

Summary
CAN BE READ INDEPENDENTLY OF OTHERS IN THE SERIES.
In 2025, an unexpected WhatsApp message pulls the surviving members of the Greendale Seven back into each other’s lives. Reunited for a mysterious treasure hunt, they wade through layers of memory and time, only to discover that the most valuable things aren't hidden in plain sight or etched on arcane maps.
As they follow cryptic clues and confront the shadows of their past, they unearth something far more precious than any prize: the raw truth of who they’ve become—sixteen years after they first gathered around that study room table.

That is, until Constable Greg Lestrade appears on his doorstep.

Summary
Mycroft Holmes is a successful, yet reclusive, mystery writer whose books have topped bestseller lists for years. Mycroft’s agent, Anthea, nearly had to resort to torture to persuade the writer to allow a studio the rights to film one of his books and he only agreed after a section was added to the contract that gave him final say on the choice of actors to play the detective in his novel. The studio wants the highly profitable and extremely sexy Greg Lestrade for the role, but Mycroft isn’t happy with the choice, since Greg’s films don't fit the more cerebral tone of the novel being filmed.
Greg, however, is desperate for the role, as he’s wanted to break out of the pigeonhole he’s been confined to, acting wise, and truly get the chance to show his skills as a serious actor. The studio finally pulls Greg from a publicity tour for his latest film and sends him to Mycroft’s remote country home to do some persuading. Once there, after getting to know the secretive, brilliant and slightly-eccentric Mycroft Holmes, Greg isn’t certain which ranks higher on his persuading list - him getting a role he dearly wants or him getting a man he dearly wants. One of those however, might be winning by a nose…

Summary
I am apparently a rarity in finding the entire "soul bond" and "written on your wrist" thing a bit creepy and a lot scary, rather than romantic. Bad enough when your parents arrange your marriage. Counting on nature to get it right? You're kidding me, yeah?
So. This can best be described as a reverse soul bond story. It does have a happy ending, but it takes awhile. If you have to classify it as anything, classify it as Mystrade. Eventually.

Summary
Everyone hopes to find a soulmate someday, someone to complete you, understand you, and cherish you forever, but thus far, all Mycroft Holmes and Greg Lestrade have found is someone who can aggravate and annoy like no other. Why does Mycroft have to be so condescending and presumptuous and...and...posh?! And why does that irritating DI have to be so cheeky and un-intimidateable? The friends and colleagues of both are getting tired of the constant whinging!
