Summary
“Your dad wants to talk to you,” Hawkeye says, the receiver in his hand outstretched.
“Do I have to?”
Erin’s voice lies just on the edge of a whine. It reminds Hawkeye of the last time they met, when Peg had to wheedle her to wash up before lunch so she wouldn’t track mud in the house. He wants to say yes. He thinks he should say yes. BJ would kill him if he knew he didn’t say yes.
“I can’t make you do anything,” he settles on.ᚒ
In 1966, 14-year-old Erin Hunnicutt runs away. The only place she can think to go is to her semi-estranged, semi-uncle Hawkeye. She wishes she’d packed warmer. -

Summary
“Is there a new book going around?” Margaret asks, leaning in.
Helen laughs. Margaret feels the vibration move through her chest where her shoulder hovers just beside her sternum. “Don’t pounce on the girl.”
Kellye’s eyes have gone wide. “I’m not sure it’s your kind of story, Major.”ᚒ
The nurses have gotten their hands on a lesbian pulp novel. It makes its way around, chapter by chapter. -

Summary
If anything good comes into the Swamp, Hawkeye assumes BJ will share. Japanese candy, the latest whirligig from one of the local merchants, even the trashy paperbacks he swears he doesn't read keep ending up on Hawk's pillow with creases in the spine.
Of course, there are things BJ doesn't tell him. But the letter practically falls into his lap. It would be silly, really, to not read it. -
Tags
Summary
BJ watches their guest of honor watch Hawkeye. The man's handsome, dark eyes are filled with an almost indecent hunger. Heat flares in BJ's face — or maybe his gut. It's hard to tell.

Summary
“I really wouldn’t cut people in line, you know.”
Spock raises an eyebrow. “I would hope not.”

Summary
They’ve been doing this thing for a while. The thing where one of them shows up at the other’s quarters late in the evening, PADD with calculations in their hand a flimsy pretense for entrance. The thing where have to stagger their bridge arrivals to evade questions. The thing where, on the nights Tom wakes up to an empty bed, he pretends he doesn’t long for a warm arm wrapped around his torso and puffs of breath on his clavicle.
-
Or, Tom avoids a discussion.

Summary
"You, for example, Captain, have been particularly edifying. Your grip on the bat recalls the early greats of the sport, while your stance is unlike any I have seen. It’s… fascinating."
Spock looks at Jim head-on, then. The force of his gaze makes Jim’s throat run dry.
“Fascinating, Mister Spock?”
-

Summary
“Well, I wouldn’t mind having to spend some time in sickbay,” Nyota says, trying to catch her breath. The affliction isn’t helped by the glimmer in Chapel’s blue eyes, trained directly on her.
“I’d rather see you outside the confines of a medical exam.”
-
Or, Chapel flirts. Uhura flirts back.

Summary
“What is a crush?”
“It’s when you like someone. A lot. You want to be with them all the time, and hold their hand and stuff. But I guess Vulcans don’t get crushes, right?”
Spock’s face falls. Yes, that’s right. He’s supposed to be controlling his emotions.
“Then I do not have a crush.”
-
Or, four times in Spock's life when he has a crush, and one time when it's different. -

Summary
Here are the facts Jim knows:
(1) Starfleet wants to know more about Vulcan politics;
(2) Vulcans are notoriously private;
(3) The Prince of Vulcan is in his bed.
Okay, so it’s unfamiliar territory. That’s fine. Jim’s fought Klingon ships and ventured into deep space before. This is just another mission.-
Spock is a rebellious prince looking to study human culture, and Jim decides to help out the admiralty with their Vulcan negotiations.
Or, Roman Holiday but it's the 2260s. -

Summary
Spock nods to the razor in Jim's hand. "Do you need assistance?"
“No, no, don’t worry about me. You can be on your merry way, Mister Spock. Besides, I wouldn't ask you to do this.”
“You are not asking, Captain. I am offering.”
The air in the room hangs stale and thick. After a minute, Jim's voice comes out hoarse: “Alright, then.”

Or, Jim breaks his hand and needs to shave. Spock helps.

Summary
“Do you want to go to New York?”
“Sure, one day."
“No, I mean, like, now,” Ty Lee said, her eyes widening as the gears turned in her head. “We can get Zuko and Azula, and just drive across the country.”
Mai thought for a second. Her best option for passing the few remaining weeks of summer was to live in her parents’ house and reread her whole bookshelf.
“Okay.”
-
Azula, Mai, Ty Lee, and Zuko go on a road trip. Mai realizes some things on the road.

Summary
The man glances up from his phone and finds Zuko staring. Not staring. Whatever.
He’s been caught in the act. He looks away at breakneck speed, feeling his face heat. He knows his cheeks are nearly as red as the outer edge of his scar.
After a minute, he allows himself to glance back up. Hot Guy is still looking. Their eyes meet, and Hot Guy gives him a small smile, just a quirk of his lips. Zuko is floored nonetheless.
I’m fucked, he thinks.
---
Zuko gets a commute crush on the cool guy with pierced ears across from him.

Summary
She's not the type of person to fall in love. She's not the type of person that girls like Ty Lee fall in love with.

--
Mai realizes something.

Summary
“Are you and Sparky dating?” Toph asked one morning.
“What?” Sokka muttered. He was looking through the cabinets, trying to find a good black tea to wake himself up.
“I know that you two are dating. I heard you walk into his room last night,” she said. Sokka dropped the canister of tea onto his head.
--------
Sokka is very deliberately not confronting his feelings about Zuko. The rest of the Gaang have no such reservations. -

Summary
"Today at the play," Zuko said, "some kid told me that my scar was on the wrong side. For all these people, it’s makeup. For me, it’s this permanent, ugly thing.”
Sokka just stared in shock. He couldn’t believe what he was hearing. Zuko thought he was ugly? He must be spending too much time with Toph, because he’s gone blind. Okay, yeah, that’s not really how that works, but still.
---
After the show at Ember Island, Zuko gets insecure about his scar. Sokka helps him along the way.
