Summary
This story is simple. It happened in four moments. Prologue: a boy drives a car off of a cliff despite the wishes of his stepfather. Prologue: another boy punches someone in the face after an insult about his mother. Prologue: the two boys, now men, meet in a hearing room (Enlighten me again, the cadet says). Prologue: the two men hate each other until the precise moment that they don’t.
This story is simple. It happened in one moment. Epilogue: perhaps they never hated each other at all.
But this story, in four moments or in just one, has been told before. Those moments no longer matter. What matters is the fact that the two of them have finally found each other, at least in this universe. What matters is the fact that the Jim Kirk on Delta Vega should never have been surprised- of course, Vulcans feel. What matters is the only thing that’s ever mattered: what happens next.
Or, the sequel to (Halfway) Human Nature! Please read that one first! Containing friends who go directly to being married, the bridge crew being nosy as hell, general shenanigans, more post-it-notes + text chat names, and TOS-style adventures! Five-year mission, let's boldly go!

Summary
PART TWO OF "SING TO ME FINALITY", SEQUEL TO "THE SAVING OF LAZARUS"
This is a story in three parts.
It is a story about the familiar, or, about the unknown. Here is something that Q knows: life is continuing as normal, if normal can be such a thing again. Except now, there’s an ex-Double Oh sleeping in his bed and remembering how he takes his coffee. Here is something Q doesn’t know: when the other shoe will drop.
It is a story about the brave new world, about moving forward. About what comes after. The last world ended with blood in an alley, and the next began in a restaurant in Camden.
It is a story about time, and the man who defied every single odd to have it. To steal time from the gods, this is the gift of James Bond. James Bond: ex-agent, current agent handler. James Bond, who has never had a spare moment in his life, now has too many, piling on top of each other without structural support and threatening imminent catastrophe.
After the fidelity, and the honesty, and the legacy, there is only infinity, stretching onward into the great unknown.
The inevitability of time, don’t you think?

Summary
(Enlighten me again, the cadet says. He stands proud and stupid and human, blue eyes hinting danger as he takes in Spock and dismisses him in that same instant. He’s heard the rumors, everyone has. And so Spock tries.)
It happens in four moments.
Set in early 2260 and chronicling the first months of the five-year mission. Mostly epistolary, partly serious, partly pure crack.

Summary
Everyone lives two lives. The second one begins when it is realized that the first is temporary.
This is a story about salvation. Or rather, a story about two men and their two lives. Bond: old, weary, nothing left to lose. Missing. Q: Young, powerful, nothing left to lose. Ever-present, ever wondering.
This is a story about abandonment. Or rather, a story about fidelity. What one has to be loyal to when the world is crumbling. Q: Queen and Country, Earl Grey tea, Eve and Mallory and his brothers. James Bond. Bond: unknown. Nothing.
This is a story about legacy. The brave new world. The Fighting Temeraire. Or: how to pick up the pieces after Bond leaves, with Q's car and Q's stupid, shameful heart.
Someone has to be 007, right?

Their bare feet swick on the cold roof, their fingers are laced tightly, they spin, gently, moving like the night.
Together, they sway.

Summary
It's hard to pinpoint when, exactly, the term "buddy" is no longer sufficient. It's pretty clear how they get there, though.
