Captured on a routine shore leave, Jim and Spock find themselves as the most recent additions to the population of a mysterious world, under the control of an invisible and deadly power.  As they struggle to survive and to understand the circumstances of their abduction, they are tested in ways they could never have imagined, relying on each other and on their own inner strength, and discovering the potential of their transformative relationship.

A poem.

Jim has always been drawn to his first officer in a way that defies his previous experience, but insists he’s never been in love.  Spock doesn’t understand the emotional response he has to his captain, relying on a definition that doesn’t quite fit.  The perception and realization of love is interpreted through the ending of one relationship and the beginning of another.

(AU)  The Federation is gone, swept from existence in the wake of an alien invasion from outside the known galaxy.  The Enterprise was one of the last standing, but now her crew is gone; dead, or spread across the galaxy, sold into slavery, or sent into harsh imprisonment.  Jim Kirk’s spirit is all but broken when a ghost from his past returns to his life.  In the wreckage of all he ever knew, with his very identity gone and his memories shattered, can the former captain find a way to rise from the ashes?

(AU) On a dystopian Earth, a young loner and his grieving mother take in a strange social outcast and her son, bringing about an unlikely relationship between the two men.  When an unexpected tragedy prompts a shocking revelation, the two must rely on each other to survive, discovering a connection neither knew was possible amidst a terrifying threat that spans worlds.

A poem inspired by undying love.

Jim Kirk exists in a dark reality where he lives by the gun and expects to die that way, too. Until he meets an enigmatic stranger who saves his life by offering his own.

After pon farr and their fight on the hot sands of Vulcan, a bond is discovered between Jim and Spock. This new intimate link, hidden necessarily even from McCoy, deepens their already strong relationship, providing a new definition of home for each of them.

However, in the aftermath of a telepathic attack on an alien world, misunderstandings and unseen damage create a devastating rift between the two men. Amidst a destructive interplanetary conflict, they are each forced to face alone the consequences of their deepest secret. 

Against all odds, beset on all sides, will the promise of t’hy’la persevere? Or will the command team of the Enterprise fall, taking the stability of the Federation with it?

After a difficult mission, a troubling disclosure leads to Kirk’s realization that routines of duty and friendship might be something more. His only regret is that he should have seen this sooner.

Spock and Nyota have been bonded for almost three months, ever since Spock’s pon farr.  Unfortunately, their relationship is not as either of them wished it to be and Nyota is faced with a difficult choice.  When something never should have been, what does it take to recognize it?  And how hard is it to walk away and allow another to take your place?
