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
Billy Hargrove doesn't keep his promise to Max. He doesn't keep it in a pretty spectacular fashion, actually. Instead of staying away from her friends, he murders one of them.
Unfortunately for Billy, Hellfire meets right after basketball practice. And fortunately for Steve, Eddie knows CPR.
(Or: There is a clearly defined set of steps to keep someone's heart beating. There's no guide for the aftermath. Steve, Eddie, and everyone they love write one together.)

Summary
“Got you, big boy.” Eddie crows in Steve’s ear, waddles gracelessly over the grassy terrain of Henderson’s back yard, under and through the rainbow arch of sprinkler water pulsing up from the ground.
“Get him Eddie!” Dustin chants even as Steve’s feet touch the ground. Eddie’s arms are still around them, his chest pressed up against Steve’s back. Eddie’s chuckles rattle up Steve’s spine, reverberate in Steve’s rib cage. It makes him feel more off-kilter than Eddie lifting him off his feet.
[Or: 4 times Eddie surprises Steve and 1 time Steve surprises himself.]

Summary
What we are born to is seldom what we truly become.
Lady Cousland, forgoing a life of privilege as she is thrust into the mantle of a Grey Warden, is caught between duty and desire. Zevran, an assassin whose charm and wit unravel the threads of her carefully woven restraint, awakens feelings she cannot ignore. Yet the shared burden of the Wardens’ grim fate binds her to Alistair, the only man in Ferelden who truly understands the path she must walk. As the threat of the Blight grows, she struggles to trace her heart’s true desires within the tangled weave of fate and obligation.
Explorations and reimagined moments of in-game dialogue and emotional reflections, this story delves into the roles imposed by birth and circumstance and those courageously claimed. Follow along with the plot and timeline of the game from Zevran's entrance through the Battle of Denerim. Multiple POVs. Chapters with Mature content will be noted.

Summary
Before he was Mercury Ingellvar, Rook’s foster parents arranged an academic marriage with one of the Watch’s senior researchers: a professor Rook has never met—until now. He’s sure Emmrich Volkarin doesn’t like him, and he’s not sure he likes Emmrich, either... until a disagreement reveals a fundamental misunderstanding of the nature of their relationship.
A comedy of errors and a romance of erudition.
