The Joining - A Vulcan Holiday Story by HeronS for WeirdLittleStories, MaryChapel, TomFooleryPrime
Fandoms: Star Trek, Star Trek: The Original Series
21 Dec 2016
Tags
Summary
It is January 3, 2267, and Spock ch’Sarek is more than ready for the human holiday season to be over. Overall, it has been confusing, loud and has involved far too much tactile contact with various people.
But his friends have decided that there is one more holiday, a Vulcan Joining, that needs to be celebrated before the Enterprise returns to regular duty…
This fic is for all expats out there, who have had to celebrate important occasions far from home. And for all of us who need a break from the hustle and bustle of late December, and who remember that the underlying theme for all celebrations, religious and secular, are affection, fellowship and reflection.

Summary
⚠️⚠️⚠️ UNDER CONSTRUCTION ⚠️⚠️⚠️
A story of learning how to deal with change and redemption.
Starting off as a bright-eyed schoolgirl attending U.A. High, you befriended a number of students who provided a sense of belonging despite your unusual circumstances. However, the very nature of your existence has made those in high offices grow wary of your role in Hero Society.
As time draws on, you begin to unmask every secret that the Pros have kept from you, face the consequences of being overpowered, and become disillusioned with the tools and "privileges" given to you.
-------
[A/N: It's a slow build-up that will make you feel all kinds of emotions... or at least that's the intent. It starts picking up a lot by Chapter 23. But anyway, this takes place during the first year and will incorporate some important arcs before the plot deviates in its own direction.]

Summary
“No, it isn’t - it isn’t just that!” John shouts. “I like you, Sherlock. I really fucking like you, and I don’t know what the hell to do about it, because the last time I liked a boy I was fifteen and I never even kissed him. I never even told him I liked him, and I don't - I don't want you to end up on my list of boys I should have kissed, but never did."
Sherlock is dumbfounded. John liked a boy before. John likes him now. John thinks he’s beautiful.

Summary
For the Japanese football club Urawa Red Diamonds, the 2010 season brings potential, with new faces; newly-signed young Japanese star Kyo Yagami, out to prove that he's one of the best footballers not just in Japan, but all of Asia; Rahul Tendulkar, an Indian star from Mumbai with Bollywood good looks and talent to match; Scott McCarthy, a budding American superstar from Chicago, frustrated with his former MLS side, and looking for a chance to make the move to a major European club. And since it's a World Cup year, expectations are already high. If only the two young stars, Kyo and Scott, weren't on bad terms.
Originally started writing in 2011/12, continued in 2019, set in 2010. Originated from some Digimon fanfic I wrote, but the characters have been moved to original fiction, where they belong.

Summary
Aeri’s eyes go wide, her vision clearing as she clutches the telephone machine tighter. “Who is this? What is this?”
“It’s me, dummy. You called my number, no?”
“No, it’s not ,” Aeri says, clinging to denial with the senseless defiance of a child.
“It’s not?" She snorts in the same way she always had, the sound Aeri would've killed to hear again. "You don’t recognize your own roommate?”
Aeri's mouth goes dry. “You’re dead , Yizhuo!”
“Of course I’m dead!”
A wasted Aeri calls up her old roommate Yizhuo after a rough night out. To her horrified surprise, she answers. -

Summary
Crowley hadn’t felt lucky since he’d been demoted, stripped of his swanky City office, and shipped off, literally, across the fucking ocean, to the roasting hot wilds of Texas. But that was also ultimately a good sign, right? Nowhere to go but up.

Summary
Não somos japoneses. Somos brasileiros que deram o azar de nascer no Japão e ser filhos de pais japoneses. Nunca fomos de lá. Não somos otários de ficar em um lugar que não nos aceita.
Aqui, descobrimos nossa alma, coisa que lá sempre nos foi cortada. Também não se vê problema em ser casado com alguém que calhou de ser decretado “homem” ao nascer. Encontramos a felicidade somente a dezoito mil quilômetros de distância da ilha vulcânica.
“Se for para fugir, que fujam juntos”. Levamos isso a sério.
