Summary
"What's wrong with me? We see this shit all the time and I fall apart because some bar I once got drunk in is probably destroyed? Hundreds of thousands dead and I'm broken up over sopaipillas."

Summary
After an injury that is too severe for Bones to fix, Kirk is forced to retire. He knows exactly who is going to command his ship.
“I didn’t request a wake up call,” Kirk mumbled.
“It’s part of my standard service. Come on. Breakfast is served in 15 minutes. It’s compulsory.”
Kirk rolled over and pulled himself into a sitting position. “What happened to your bedside manner?”
“It’s expired." -

Summary
She handed him a box wrapped elaborately in paper and ribbon. Gordon accepted it with a suspicious look. He ripped off the paper carelessly, tugging on the ribbon until it gave way. Inside he found a brown envelope, addressed to him. He threw Carolyn a look as he tore into it.

Summary
“It’ll be terribly dull. Besides, everyone else will be drinking. You stay here.”
“I can handle people drinking,” Douglas protested. I handle you well enough, don’t I? he felt himself try to say, but swallowed it. “I’d quite like an evening out for a change.”
“No, no,” Helena said again, waving her hand in the air as if a fly was buzzing around her. “You’re working tomorrow, and it could be a late one.” She was halfway out the door even as she spoke. “We’ll go together next time,” she said, and disappeared.A glimpse into Douglas's home life after the events of Douz.

Summary
School band AU written for a livejournal prompt years ago but never posted anywhere. Your basic trope fic. Martin is the new kid in school and is instructed to join the band. Imagine his horror when it turns out the conductor is the boy he can't get out of his mind...
I'm British so my impression of what goes on in US high schools is based on Heathers and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. No one is dead or undead in this fic.

Summary
The world stopped turning.
Douglas had a sort of warmth that took his breath away. Suddenly he wasn’t in an airport about to leave his entire life behind, he was just in the arms of his closest companion. He closed his eyes and inhaled Douglas’s scent, of tweed and fresh laundry and leather and just a slight lingering hint of cigarette smoke.
It suddenly occurred to him that he would have to let go.The MJN crew see Martin off to start his new life in Switzerland. Martin hasn't yet realised what he is giving up.

Summary
"You’re loving this, aren’t you?" Douglas grunted. He gripped Herc’s hand where it held him tightly by the waist.
"Not in the least," Herc said mildly. "Why ever would I?"
"Seeing me fall apart. Knowing you’re the-" Douglas’s voice faltered when his foot failed to meet solid ground. He felt Herc stiffen beside him and absorb his momentum. He stayed upright. "The better man."
Douglas is ill, and Herc is not his preferred person to look after him.

Summary
Everyone's favourite fandot is bundled off in Douglas's car to a client's party at a working men's club in Rugby. Not the most romantic of venues, you wouldn't think. You'd be right.
20,000 words later my Martin/Douglas slash series has the first hints of slash in it. But be warned, it starts slow.
Also the Knapp-Shappey-Shipwrights are like a little family and it's adorable I want a pet Arthur.

Summary
Written for a prompt on the Cabin Pressure prompt meme:
Exhausted!Douglas
Douglas goes through an extended period where he either doesn't sleep at all or the sleep he does get is restless and broken. Of course, rather than tell anyone, he tries to handle it himself, and is something much less than successful,. How long does it take someone to notice and what do they do about it?You all know I'm a sucker for Douglas needing to be looked after so I had to fill it.
