Summary
Freddie takes his pills now.
It’s funny, because Florence used to have to bitch at him about it every other day because he’d forget, or pretend to forget. Or he’d decide they didn’t help, or that they were poisoning him, and he’d flush them down the toilet. After that stunt she kept them with her and gave him his daily dose from the palm of her hand, like a nurse or a mother with her child.
Now she’s gone, has been for four years, and he hasn’t missed a dose in three.
He's not better, but he's doing better.
Bangkok might change that.

Summary
Essek clung to her; his fingers gripped the front of her coat. He looked small in a way he never had before, frightened in a way that Caleb hadn’t fully processed he could be. It wasn’t Essek’s nervousness, the anxiety of a brilliant man who could see danger all around him, who could see the falling dominoes and the way the web he had woven had entangled him. It was the fear of a small child, or indeed, a stray cat—the fear of a creature trapped in a terrifying world it did not understand.
Essek, brilliant Essek, Essek who believed he could find the answers to everything, unable to understand a thing—the thought of it stabbed at Caleb’s heart.
---
In a world where Trent makes it back to Eiselcross before the Nein do, Essek spends a night under the effects of the Feeblemind spell. Caleb undertakes a duty of care, and the Nein learn how Essek feels about them beneath everything.

Summary
Sometime between the end of DS and IW, Wong and Stephen went from colleagues to friends (and, I kinda like to imagine, roommates). Colleagues say hello at work. Friends say “our favorite flavor” when they talk about sharing ice cream with you, or buy you a sandwich at the corner deli when you run out of cash. A year in the life of two people becoming friends.

He should be happy. His relief should be all-encompassing, and yet…
The sorcerer could only feels exhaustion.

Summary
James Tiberius Kirk - friend, brother, lover - has one great and glorious ambition: to captain a starship. It is the defining passion of his life for which he has sacrificed every relationship he once held dear.
S'chn T'gai Spock left his life behind on Vulcan to join Starfleet, against the wishes of his family. Ostracised by his people, he has forged his path amongst alien strangers, unfamiliar with and resentful of his cool, logical ways.
When the USS Enterprise loses her Captain, they are thrown together as Starfleet's newest command team. These very different men begin a relationship that will define their lives, shape their destinies, and reveal the lengths that each will go to for friendship. And for love.
A novel-length retelling of original Star Trek canon through the lens of one of the greatest relationships ever committed to film. Using missing scenes, episode tags, and original story-telling. Ultimately a Generations fix-it.
