    Summary

    Spock has been assisting a new Vulcan colony in its agricultural efforts, but nothing will grow in the colony's desert. He seeks the advice of Dr. James Kirk, renowned botanist, at one of Kirk's lectures. But Spock's interest in Kirk quickly becomes personal, rather than professional.

    Though the concept of "love at first sight" is deeply illogical, of course, Spock and Jim Kirk share an immediate connection, and it could change the trajectory of their lives.

    Summary

    "Just because you’re good at something doesn’t mean you’re good at everything. You couldn’t compare to my linguistic ability and you know it!”
     
    He frowned. “I could be good at linguistics.” Uhura huffed incredulously. Jim’s frown deepened. “Give me a language and I’ll learn it.”

    She raised a brow. “Fluently?”

    “Yeah, sure.”

    Uhura smiled wryly. Oh this was going to be fun. “Fine. Any language I choose, in a month, or you have to report to Admiral Pike completely naked and tell him what you claimed to be able to do, and just how wrong you were. Deal?”

    “And if I do it then you have to do something for me? If I do it, you have to tell me your first name, and go on a date with me.” Jim stuck his hand out. Uhura eyed it, considering him for a moment before taking it and shaking it firmly, a smile burgeoning on her face.

    “Vulcan.”

    He froze. “What?”

    “You have to learn Vulcan.”

     

    In which Jim has to learn Vulcan for a bet, and learns a lot more along the way.

    Summary

    "First," said Gale. "Do not kill any thinking creatures in Waterdeep unless you must to protect yourself or you have my express permission."

    As Gale spoke, he could feel the weight of his words sinking into the person sitting across from him. It was like casting a spell, but took no effort. Astarion had been staring hollowly into his goblet of blood, but at this he made a faintly interested noise. As if the rule were novel and he was considering the shape of it.

    "Second, you will obey me in all things," said Gale. There didn't feel like there was any honest way of softening that. Astarion didn't make any sound at all.

    "Third, do not leave the tower without permission." Astarion made another speculative noise, considering this one too. But then his shoulders hunched and his eyes skittered down, as if he didn't want to look at what was about to happen.

    "Fourth," Gale said, and paused. He started with some context: "There is a tressym upstairs."

    Astarion's head twitched. He looked up at Gale, blinking, startled. He had the air of someone who had been bracing for a blow and instead had just been handed a balloon animal.

    "A what?" he asked.
