Summary
He could feel the pounding headache, the burn in his lungs and his organs failing him one by one.
But he couldn’t think about any of that.Thinking meant slowing down. And slowing down meant dying.
He had to keep walking, until he was the only one still walking, their winner.
Then they would all see him for what he was: the best. Better than all the other boys.or: Barkovitch and Parker are the last ones walking in the Long Walk.

Summary
Gary groaned into his pillow, and ignored the look that Rank had shot his way. Two fucking hours of his life wasted on going through online dictionaries just to learn that Parker introduced himself like a normal fucking human being.
He had figured it out, he could close the laptop, forget about it all and go to sleep. But… He could also go through the fingerspelled alphabet, just in case Parker needed to spell something to him again. It would be easier that way, that's all. It didn’t mean anything more.
He didn’t close his laptop until he had all the letters of the alphabet memorized.
or; gary barkovitch finds one person on campus who doesnt immediately hate him and he is determined to change that. even if it means learning a new language

Summary
He remembered the gunshot.
He remembered dying. He had died, he was sure of it. How was this possible? Was this his life rewinding itself, some montage before his death?
But it didn’t feel like a memory. It looked so real. He was there.Then, the guards barked their orders. The Major gave his speech. And the Walk began, exactly like it did before.
What the fuck?
Stuck in a time loop, Collie Parker didn’t expect to find himself watching Gary Barkovitch. He definitely didn’t expect Gary to look back.

Summary
'Surely if ever there was a time to tell Gimli it was then, flush with an impossible victory.
Except he had said nothing, for there was ever more to do and never time, never time to pull Gimli aside and taste the mouth hidden beneath the fall of his moustache, to fit his slim, Eleven hands into ones coarse with callouses from the handle of an axe, to tell Gimli that every song Legolas sang, every smile and laugh and every step forward he had taken since their path darkened was bolstered only by Gimli at his side, to speak to him of Elvish courting rituals and run his fingers through Gimli’s russet hair and ask if he would allow Legolas to twist an Elvish braid in it, something to mark to all the world, even if only his Elven eyes would understand, that Gimli was tied to him.
To ask Gimli to teach him all the impossible ways their bodies might fit together.'
The night before the Battle of the Black Gate, and several days after.

Summary
The people of Twilar are a newly warp-capable species that has caught the eye of the Federation for more reasons beyond its planets' deep, untouched mines and strategic placement along the border of the neutral zone. The Federation wants Twilar as an ally, but the people of Twilar have a very specific criteria for what makes a leadership team functional.
When Kirk and Spock make First Contact, they are immediately thrown into a globally broadcasted questionnaire competition which will decide whether of not the Twilar join the Federation.
Or, alternatively, Spock and Kirk play a high stakes version of The Newlywed Game.
