    Summary

    Shenanigans ensue when one middle finger to the Academy too many gets Starfleet Cadet James T. Kirk booted off planet for a summer internship aboard the V.S.S. Sh'Raan.

    He's hiding a major secret from the oh so earnest and helpful Vulcans, but the longer he's on the ship, the more Jim starts to wonder if they're keeping secrets from him, too.

    ---

    Captain Spisee handed Jim a heavy sheet of rich, cream paper embossed with gold dusted Vulcan calligraphy bearing the ship’s name. It was a bit cheap by the standards of Vulcan stationary aesthetics, but shipboard life meant some sacrifices. In the most elegant handwriting he’d ever had the privilege to lay eyes on, it read:

    Human Enrichment and Optimal Health Program:

    - One (1) Daily Shoulder Pat (more provided upon request)
    - Seventy (70) Seconds of Hug Time Per Week (divided between crew members as you deem necessary)

    “We would appreciate detailed weekly feedback on the efficacy of our Human integration efforts."

    Summary

    Post "The Search for Spock" story in which Saavik and David get a happy ending. After some more angst, because apparently I can't resist adding just a little angst.

    At least nominally a sequel to Moreta1848's "How hard can it be." You don't have to read that first to understand this fic, but you should read it because it's awesome. All you really need to know for this one is that Saavik is Sybok's daughter but ran away to live with her gay uncles (Spock and Kirk) because who wouldn't.

    Many thanks to Moreta1848 for ideas/encouragement/being basically all the letters of the Greek alphabet (but not in a sex way).

    Summary

    Mark Watney never manages to make contact with Earth and NASA never realizes that he survived the storm and evacuation on Sol 6. So, needless to say, the crew of the Ares IV is incredibly surprised when they land on Mars to find a scruffy, malnourished, mentally unbalanced, but still-alive astronaut waiting for them.

    These are the stories of Mark's long journey home and the lives of the people he touches along the way. (Mostly told from not-Mark POVs.)

    Summary

    He's waited four-ever.

    NASA doesn't know Watney is alive. How will trying to survive in total isolation until Ares 4 change him? What new challenges will he face? Can he make it 1408 sols without completely losing himself?

    For god's sake, someone send him a new mix-tape.
