Happy birthday, celticmusebooks! I think you might like this better than some random chapter that might not be Spock/Chapel LOL. Spock, after V'Ger and Doctor C. For those who like such things. : )

This has major spoilers for "The Climb," and also, of course, for the rest of the show. Don't read if you want to stay unspoiled. I didn't buy one aspect of the show. My muse wanted to write about it. So here goes. (Edited to add: this is probably OBE now given the events of later episodes, but I still like this direction for Thea so I'll keep it up even if it's AU now.)

Just a little filling in of the blanks. Spoilers for "No Sanctuary," The Walking Dead season five premiere episode. If you haven't seen the episode yet, you may want to hold off on this.

The road to hell and all that. This is Spock/Chapel and Kirk/Chapel, but not all three. Written for Harmony Bites, who provided the plot bunnies. Hope I used them well! No betas were harmed in the writing of this-all mistakes are my own.

Okay, sorry to those who voted, but the story AND the listing disappeared so I had to repost. Hopefully everyone can see this! I'll be posting up bits of this when I feel the need for time with these lovely characters; there may be gap between chapters. Which means you have input whether Chapel ends up with Spock. Kirk, or both. Don't be afraid to vote both! It's what I want to do!

The heart wants what the heart wants. And then real life throws a monkey wrench into that concept. This is very long and very messy. It is Spock/Chapel and Sarek/Chapel (not necessarily in that order) but NOT all three (yes, even I have my limits LOL).

So they pretty much left the end of tonight's ep for us to write: I'll bite! Spoilers for Season 3 and especially Episode "Population: 25," which faded to black way before the story was done. My betas are off the hook for this one. All mistakes are my own.

Now we all knew Kirk was not going to sit still and let Sarek and Spock get stories with the tart and not him! This one tracks canon. Thanks for the lovely reception after my absence. I need to go back to the original fic, but I'll pop in again when I need a break from the near-constant rejections. Because fanfic-even without the cool reviews-warms my heart. : )

I'm trying new things and this is (supposed to be) a prose poem. Spock valiantly offered to be the guinea pig for my attempts (actually he just was sick of his dad getting all the action, but he'll coat that in altruism, as is his way). It's the Pon Farr and them and maybe poetry buried in prose, if I did this at all right.

May have spoilers for current/previous seasons. It's wish fulfillment. A bit of cosmetic surgery to the "Of Children and Travelers" episode. What if that moment between getting the hotel rooms & getting the call from Branch lasted just a little longer? I ship Walt/Vic relentlessly. I wanted to get this out while ep was still fresh so betas are off the hook: mistakes are all mine.

This contains spoilers for all seasons of Arrow, especially "Unthinkable." Sara told Laurel that Oliver needs her. Why? And how does Felicity figure in all this? I ship Olicity, so if you don't dig that pairing, this may not be your thing, although I try to be fair to all the gals. My normal betas aren't caught up, so any mistakes are all mine.

Short coda to "Awkward." Starts up where that one left off. Because the kiddies wanted to play. And because Chapel had a question for Sarek.

I have been working on other projects for months now, but was jonesing bigtime for some fanfic. Sarek and Chapel won the tug of war for what it would be about. Thanks to those who asked for another story for them-I hope you like this!. This is a standalone, not in the Life is Messy series. Because the death of a loved one can make things weird long after it's happened.

For Hermione, having it all means managing it all. And what if, after all that, she finds she wants more? This is SSHG, but it takes a while to get there. A character study of Hermione—a layered and worthy heroine—and a chance for me to dip my toes in this fandom and poke at some things that both delighted and perturbed me. Many thanks to betas Harmony Bites and DC Lady!
