    Summary

    “Don’t you think, my raspberry pie, that you’re not even a pawn on this chess board?” Damselette seemed completely content with the lack of answer from the recruit. “Because pawn, when they reach the end of the board, can turn into something big. And you’re, well… to say it gently you’re not confusing the stars with their reflection on the surface of a pond. You’re looking at a mosaic floor, because you’ve never seen real stars”

    Summary

    ***
    Furina, the Hydro Archon, is known for many things. For being a little childish sometimes, very dramatic, fond of cakes. She is, however, also very well known as a renowed and respected matchmaker.

    She has set her sights on Monsieur Neuvillette - the man has been a bachelor for too long, and she just can't stand this! Luckily, the answer to her troubles soon presents itself... in the shape of a very tall, very dark man, who just so happens to be the Warden of Meropide...
    ***

    [TLDR: Furina plays matchmaker with wriolette]

    Summary

    The NSS T’Vann was going to crash.

     

    Thirty-one standard seconds was not enough time to launch the escape pod.

     

    Despite their reputation throughout the galaxy as emotionless automatons, even a Vulcan was not immune to the overbearing weight of fear. Emotion was not purged by evolution, but mastered with lifelong training. In moments of certain doom, those less disciplined would succumb to their primal nature. Years of practice would slip away – mere grains of sand racing through cracks between fingers.

     

    ...

     

    Cast out fear. There is no room for anything else until you cast out fear.

     

    Spock repeated the words as a mantra in his mind. They were the original words of Surak, the sermon which had saved their species from self-annihilation. His wisdom had delivered them from fear and the destructive, untamable force of entropy.

    Yet, Spock could not cast out fear, for he was stranded on this alien world inhabited by barbarians – and he was alone.
