Summary
The explosion should have killed him.
Instead, Malcolm wakes up injured, confused, and surrounded by people who insist they know him. They claim he's safe. They claim he belongs here, on the Enterprise. His instincts disagree.
As the Enterprise crew struggles to understand what's happened to their tactical officer, Malcolm does what Malcolm does best: assess the situation, evade capture, and, if necessary, neutralize the threat.

Summary
Trip follows Malcolm out into the crowded streets of San Francisco, hoping to fix a fight.
What he finds instead is a world of corruption, powerful admirals, and a version of Malcolm he doesn't recognize at all.
Some things, once seen, can never be unseen.
And sometimes, appearances are dangerously convincing.
Set on Earth post–Season 4 on January 19, 2156, the one-year anniversary of the founding of the Coalition of Planets.

The Making of a Man by brassraspberrytoad
Fandom Star Trek: Enterprise, Star Trek: Enterprise (TV)

Summary
This series follows my personal interpretation of Malcolm Reed's life before, during, and after the events of Star Trek: Enterprise. It attempts to answer how Malcolm became the character we saw serving on the Enterprise and a bit about what happened to him after the series ended.
Individual stories can generally be read on their own, but they all share the same universe, timeline, and characterization. Stories incorporate everything in alpha canon, and some things from beta canon. Types of works range from action/adventure and espionage thrillers to quieter character studies and hurt/comfort fics depending on what fresh horror for my favorite fictional British tactical officer I felt like spinning out at the time.
This series is ongoing and will be for a hot minute.
