Summary
When Jim joined the on campus Radio Club, he hadn't thought much of it. He'd tinkered with the radio in his dad's shed as a kid, before Frank had come and Mom had left. It brought back the happy memories. He didn't expect it to change the world.
Note: Chapter Nine is Tarsus IV, and it is as disturbing as that implies. Please read that chapter with caution or skip over it completely. Summary is in author's notes.

Summary
American University AU. A Study in Scarlet. The beginning. Whatever you want to call it. John just wanted to get though med school without incident, and find a way to keep his cane from digging into his palm. He didn't count on the university over-booking his dorm room and needing to find a place to stay while they got it sorted out. He definitely didn't count on running into Mike Stamford, who he hadn't seen in over eight years. And if he hadn't counted on Mike, then he most decidedly didn't count on the man Mike introduced him to.
Series
- Part 1 of The Irregular Collective

Summary
They were referred to as the Deep Space Nine simply because that was where they spent most of their time. Not quite Starfleet, not quite civilian, all outcasts among their own, they were a team of researchers whose mission was to explore new worlds and send the collected data back to Starfleet and any other interested group. They were a ragtag group of explorers- nine in all- and when they got wind of the distress call from Vulan and the subsequent lightning storm in space, they turned around and warped back towards the desert planet as fast as their ship would let them. They were Scientists, researchers, but that did not mean that they were defenseless. And the nine of them were determined to help, however they could.

Summary
It was when he was in College that Arthur really started to remember. He’d always had the dreams, dreams of knights and red capes and dark hair and blue eyes shining gold, but it took him years to finally understand, to understand what it all meant. But when he did, oh when he did, shortly after his 20th birthday, he’d awoken with a cry to the silence of his dorm room, a name, his name on his lips, he finally knew.

Summary
Merlin can't understand those stupid complicated hand signs Arthur uses on a hunt, but they figure out another way to communicate.
or: 5 times people were confused by Arthur and Merlin's secret language, and 1 time everyone understood. -

Summary
One novel, six writers. Each writer can only see the last ten pages of the previous writer’s segment. This might be the strangest idea that bestselling author Jim Kirk has ever thought of, but it might just be strange enough to cure Spock Grayson of his writer’s block.

how I could love you (if I could let you stay) by Imagined, Scarlet_Ribbons
Fandoms: Merlin (TV)

Summary
“No,” Arthur just says, and stares at the car. “You can’t be serious. Your car is falling apart.”
Immediately, Merlin's smile disappears. Belatedly, Arthur remembers his promise to Lancelot. To be fair, being nice doesn’t constitute being killed by someone’s excuse for a vehicle. They really can’t blame Arthur for that.
“He’s doing just fine,” Merlin says defensively. “He’s a classic, and he’s meant to be this way. Hello, by the way, nice to meet you. My name is Merlin, so glad to be travelling with you to our mutual friends’ wedding. Arse.”
Or:
Lancelot and Gwen are getting married on the other side of the continent. Merlin is a reckless driver with a car that shouldn't be allowed on the road, and is the single most annoying person one could ever spend five days in a car with. He's also penniless, rude, secretive, has the broadest smile Arthur has ever seen on a person, and is a piano prodigy.
If only Arthur weren't afraid of flying.

Summary
When Arthur was eight, he met a boy with golden eyes and a penchant for mischief.
When he was fourteen, he met a man with a bird on his arm, and a tattoo on his thigh.
When he was twenty, he watched Merlin make a whirlwind and lie about it.

Bookmarker's Notes
They stay like that in the moonlight, quiet and still, and it is enough, Arthur thinks, at least for now, that he does nothing, and trusts his bird to fly.
