    “Personally, I’m a mess of conflicting impulses—
    I’m independent and greedy and I also want to belong and share and be a part of the whole.”

    Summary

    In another life, perhaps, Spock would have found himself with M’Benga. In the same way that another him would have loved only Nyota and worshipped her as she deserved. Instead, Spock looks on this world where McCoy is brushing hair away from Kirk’s forehead and grumbles, “Let the door shut. You’re letting in the cold.”

    Set in the two weeks of Kirk's coma during STXII, Spock and McCoy come to terms with nearly losing their captain.

    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.”
