    Summary

    ...the god may speak in the forms of geometry as well as in the shapes of dreams; in the harmony of pure thought as well as in the harmony of sounds; in numbers as well as in words.
    -- Ursula K. LeGuin

    The View from T'Khut

      Part I: The Absent World. The planet vanishes, but her people go on.
      Part II: An Archaeology of Loss. The world-death left a scar in spacetime, and a void in the heart of the Federation.
      Part III: Time and Darkness. In which Ambassador Spock fires unexpected shots.

    Summon the Future

    One man can change the present. -- James T. Kirk

    Appendix: Vulcan vocabulary

    I am interested in the lacunae of the destruction of Vulcan, and the shape of its future, post-Nero. This story does not explore all of my ideas about that, but it explores some of them. At one point I said to Beatrice, "am I secretly writing a post-apocalyptic story about utopia as praxis?"

    This series uses Kelvin/AOS style stardates.

    Summary

    A shuttlecraft crash leaves Jim and Spock stranded, and a miscommunication leaves them no choice but to blend in, pretending to be a couple in a very unusual and specific island of Vulcan culture. Dressed the part and surrounded by temptation, Spock puts his restraint to the test, and Jim is challenged by the position he finds himself in. Desire, repression, yearning, erotic poetry, board games, and getting hit on in the bathroom await, and it's going to be a long three days before the Enterprise is back in range.

    Summary

    Julian wakes lying on his front, with a mild but insistent headache, an uncomfortably dry throat, and a dim sense that the bed he's in is not his own. And he's right: it's Garak's.

    Because he and Garak got possibly a little bit too drunk at Quark's, and then possibly also a little bit married on top of it, and there's just no way this is going to be anything but a disaster.

    Summary

    “I will not apologize for speaking the truth,” the child says. “However, I regret if that truth has offended you.”

    “Jesus Christ, kid,” Jim mutters.

    “I am not offended,” Spock responds, as blandly as he is able. “I was remiss in casting such hasty judgment upon your guardian.”

    ”Father,” she corrects.

    ”Your father,” he agrees.

    *****

    An academy AU + Tarsus aftermath fic in which James T. Kirk ends up accidentally parentally bonded to an orphaned Vulcan child. When the father/daughter duo enroll in Star Fleet, hijinks ensue (mostly at the expense of Spock’s previously immaculate but quickly deteriorating self-control).

    Winner of the 2025 Philon Award for a novel-length fic (!!!)

    Summary

    "Well," McCoy says, crossing his arms. "As near as I can tell, he shouldn't exist."

    He's looking at Spock, which is how he sees the flinch.

    "It's an expression," Jim says quickly. "No one's saying you shouldn't exist, Spock." He puts a soothing hand on Spock's shin. "He's saying you're a— a marvel."

    A different Frankenstein story.
