Summary
It's not like anyone on Enterprise has a gambling problem – except maybe Scotty and his incomprehensible belief in his own talents at poker – but there's always someone willing to take a bet, whether it be on the likely inhabitants of the next planet, or on the odds of Admiral Archer's prize beagle ever reappearing (60-1 and growing).

Summary
Spock is not remotely gratified to find, on his next visit to the mess, Sulu and Chekov sitting at their usual table frantically trying to work out the odds of Spock playing another practical joke. Neither does he laugh at any future reference to Admiral Archer's unfortunate dog. Nor does he develop any humorous stories of his experiences at the Academy. But he does feel like he understands the inhabitants of Enterprise a little better.

Enterprise is like one big, happy family. (Except for those people who hate each other.)

Summary
It's not that Chekov is a drama queen. It's just that he expects drama around him. His mother teaches Russian literature, his sisters have been obsessed with generation after generation of teen dramas, and the Chekov household has always best been described as 'turbulent'. Thus it is that he expects life on Enterprise to be perhaps more dramatic than it really is.
Which, given how crazy Enterprise can get, is saying something.

Till You See It On The Silver Screen (In Stellar Cartography) by chaletian

Summary
After a couple of years, no-one's quite sure who instigated movie night: the decision was lost in the muddle of inventories and medicals and a shakedown mission that featured the Captain breaking two ribs and three crewmen from Engineering losing their uniforms in an unscrupulous game of strip poker.

Summary
It's been a difficult couple of months on Enterprise. There've been crew deaths, near-calamitous alien encounters (the last one a planet where the population thought they were gangsters circa 1920, which was dumb any way you looked at it), and the ship mysteriously running low on the ingredients for pie. They're all on edge. They're all expecting the worse. And then an away team beams down to a new class M planet with Mr Spock in command, and they check in sounding cheerful.
Suspiciously cheerful.

Very Much Ado About Practically Nothing by chaletian

Summary
There are many aspects of life on Enterprise the origins of which remain a mystery. Movie Night. Karaoke Night. The secret away team rota to make sure Spock's brain doesn't get stolen again. These things just seem to leap spontaneously into being and, looking back, no-one can quite say who started them.
Not the Enterprise Dramatic Society's production of Much Ado About Nothing, though. Oh no. McCoy knows he can put that one squarely on Lt Bridgerton.

Summary

Summary
The Academy teaches you a lot, about uncomfortable living quarters, about alien customs, about relative morality, about risk and danger and loss. The Academy teaches you a lot, but it never teaches you to deal with the fact that after five years in a tight space with a few hundred people, you have days when you just want to stab everyone in the head for the peace and quiet.
