Summary
Spock wants Jim to fuck him. Jim thinks Spock wants to kill him. In the Mirror Universe, this is what passes for a romantic comedy.
Or: five times Mirror Kirk thought he was going to get murdered during sex (but wasn’t), and the time he finally figures out why.

Grief as a four-dimensional figure by Moreta1848
Fandoms: Star Trek, Star Trek: Alternate Original Series (Movies)
07 Feb 2024
Tags
Summary
"One might arguably say it is not fully logical to care whether I cannot return to Vulcan because it no longer exists or because it is separated from me permanently in five-dimensional space.”
“No, I think I get it,” said Jim. “Like, I haven’t gone back to the old house in Iowa in years, but I do like knowing it’s there. If my mom sold it and it got knocked down, it would make a difference to me.”
The ambassador nodded. “Likewise, even in four-dimensional space, we are separated from the things we have lost only by distance—by the fact that we cannot easily travel along the timeline.” He marked out a section of his timeline, then a dot further back in the bottom timeline—Jim’s timeline. “My marriage is here. I am here, in a different timeline and at a different time. But my marriage exists. It is a figure in four-dimensional space which will continue to exist, in that sense, eternally. So long as the timeline does not collapse, it is a permanent part of history. So although I do not have my spouse with me, I know that he existed. That somewhere, in a time and a dimension I cannot go, we are meeting for the first time. That somewhere, I am asleep in his arms.”

Thirteen Months (or is It a Year?) by orphan_account

Summary
Roy was told once that he loved too much. In NA, it's a character flaw. He didn't stay sober that time, but he keeps the idea with him.
Two stints at rehab later, and he's understanding it better. He's been clean for a year (or thirteen months) and he's counting the days of a different problem. The problem isn't drugs, he's learned during this most recent sobriety. It's habits. Patterns.
Jason is the worst of those.

Summary
As a
supervillainsupercriminalcontract worker with a morality deficit, Clint Barton leads a glamorous life. You know, stolen cars, dangerous women, a really confusing relationship with a meddling do-gooder, the works. It's pretty awesome. Except for, uh, medical bills, the mob, and being on the run all the time. That part isn't all that awesome.(A supervillain AU where Clint shoots arrows at people and gets beat up a lot. So, not really that much of an AU.)

Lost in Translation (Patching the UT) by sayler_antimony
Fandoms: Star Trek: Deep Space Nine

Summary
A look into the Personal Logs of a Linguist on Deep Space Nine, who is uncovering the funniest and sweetest translation errors, and trying to patch the UT along the way.
***
And if you had asked Lieutenant Wittgenstein, who was currently tasked with the next report on the use of the UT on Deep Space Nine, which was a special case, what with all the Gamma Quadrant languages mingling in the matrix now, nevermind the decidedly casual language the UT was being exposed to at Quarks, she could have told you a number of things. The UT memory bank transcripts, heavily encrypted and for the linguists’ eyes only, of course, were littered with missed moments, lost meanings, and mix-ups. For instance…
