    Summary

    In the TOS episode “Mirror, Mirror,” the computer stated: “Captain James T. Kirk succeeded to command ISS Enterprise through assassination of Captain Christopher Pike.”

    That’s … mostly true.

    But not entirely accurate.

    Summary

    “Eighteen years ago, an earthquake ripped through Gotham City, and in the aftermath, instead of helping, the US government sealed the city under a ‘quarantine’ and left them to die. Two years later, when signs of life and even civilisation were still detectable inside the shattered city, the government sent the military in to reclaim and rehabilitate Gotham. Gotham has not forgotten, and they have not forgiven either.”

    An AU where an altered version of No Man’s Land happened while Bruce was in his late teens/early twenties, and Batman was born in the hellish crucible of a trapped city that was left for dead and then violently retaken. Gotham may pretend to run by mainlander rules for the sake of those who would have died otherwise, but under the surface, Bruce, Jim, Leslie, Ivy and Oswald and their pack keep their own council, and look with jaundiced eyes on the mainland.

    Summary

    Set after s2e10.

    The Federation has ended up in some kind of (cold) war with the Gorn. Pike, clearly not being wartime captain material, has been given a desk job or alternatively shipped off on the Enterprise to explore topical romance in space. Meanwhile, Batel and Una lead a reconnaissance mission into Gorn space on the smallest, jankiest ship ever designed to hold atmosphere. And of course, per the prompts of Star Trek Femslash Week 2023, There Is Only One Bed, they get Trapped In A Turbolift, and many other delightful tropes.

    Summary

    Conversations with Christopher Pike during the Menagerie, and on Talos IV afterwards.

    -

    "You know, there are some things you never really lose from being a test pilot. Being able to get into the cockpit of a new ship and figure it out quick, get something moving at full impulse and have it feel like it’s an extension of yourself in - a day. But after what happened…” he shakes his head slightly. “It’s like trying to fly a ship I don’t know, that’s not like anything I’ve flown, but the ship is filled with…”

    “Fire and smoke.”

    “Yes.”

    -

    “Why should I force myself through unnecessary pain just to fit? To interact with the world in a way someone else considers real and correct? I’m happy.” She shakes her head. “I don’t need to walk through their world in pain just to have them look at my body with pity. My body - that’s not my self. My body walking away from here, through another world, onto your ship, even - that’s not what makes me present. It doesn’t mean I can be myself there.”

    -

    “Maybe it doesn’t have to be a choice between limited interaction in our world full of pain,” Una continues, “or less pain here but interaction that’s … limited differently. We can change it."

    Summary

    “So far as I can tell, most worthwhile pleasures on this earth slip between gratifying another and gratifying oneself. Some would call that an ethics.” Maggie Nelson, The Argonauts

    Dr Christine Chapel always figured that T'Pring was a Vulcan's Vulcan, and never expected to find her here, on Betazed, living a very different life than she'd had before. But, no one gets out of a relationship with Spock unscathed. And sometimes the ways you tried to change yourself to keep him end up showing you who you want to be.

    Draco Malfoy awakens in Gryffindor Tower at the start of his sixth year with no memory of how he arrived.

    Can Draco use Harry's lingering impressions of the world to guide him? Can he navigate the politics of being the Boy Who Lived? And how long before he tips off Ron or Hermione?

    A bodyswap subversion and bromance, this story features a Ron Weasley convinced they are mates, a Hermione keen on the Dark Arts, a surprisingly friendly Blaise Zabini, and a Luna Lovegood who's just mad enough to find this all perfectly ordinary.

    Summary

    As soon as Aubrey Thyme, psychotherapist, had opened her office door and seen her new client, Anthony J. Crowley, sitting in her waiting area, she was observing and assessing him. At first glance, she paid attention to the following:

    --His clothing was expensive and stylish;
    --He wore very strange but noticeable cologne;
    --His relationship to the seat he occupied could only, very loosely, be described as “sitting;”
    --He looked angry;
    --He was wearing sunglasses.

    What Aubrey Thyme, a professional, thought, upon first seeing her new client was: you’re going to be a fun one, aren’t you?
