    Summary

    ...the god may speak in the forms of geometry as well as in the shapes of dreams; in the harmony of pure thought as well as in the harmony of sounds; in numbers as well as in words.
    -- Ursula K. LeGuin

    The View from T'Khut

      Part I: The Absent World. The planet vanishes, but her people go on.
      Part II: An Archaeology of Loss. The world-death left a scar in spacetime, and a void in the heart of the Federation.
      Part III: Time and Darkness. In which Ambassador Spock fires unexpected shots.

    Summon the Future

    One man can change the present. -- James T. Kirk

    Appendix: Vulcan vocabulary

    I am interested in the lacunae of the destruction of Vulcan, and the shape of its future, post-Nero. This story does not explore all of my ideas about that, but it explores some of them. At one point I said to Beatrice, "am I secretly writing a post-apocalyptic story about utopia as praxis?"

    This series uses Kelvin/AOS style stardates.

    Summary

    If you’re sending yourself out to the edge of civilization, people expect it to be done for fame and glory – but then, Julian Bashir has never been what’s expected of him. He’s quite happy to agree with the reasons other people provide, because he isn’t sharing the private whys and wherefores when people are more than happy to fill in the gaps themselves. There are other, better things to worry about, work to be done and friends to be made – possibly even a lover, if he’s lucky…

    ...all while fighting to maintain his worth, and remain exactly who he’s always been.

    I've loved this series since it was originally posted to ASC, back in the day. I used to have an actual physical mixtape of songs for it, that's how long I've loved it.

    Summary

    Kirk is working at Starfleet's Department for Interplanetary Affairs, when he'd rather be in the stars. But he takes comfort from texting with his online chess buddy.

    Spock was born to be a prince, but his speech impediment makes it impossible to fit into his father's plans for him. Only in writing does he show his true self.

    But when they meet in person, not knowing each other's online identities...they could hardly get along worse.

    Game Changers (mostly bookverse) post-The Long Game series

    This is a witty and fun series but also. Finally. Some good fucking hockey. Author clearly, like. Knows how hockey works. So I don't have to insane during the story due to absolutely wack fake hockey.

    How to set up a bookmarklet that applies a saved set of filters to any works or bookmarks listing page on AO3

    (Bookmarklets are a bit fiddly on mobile, but very much doable—and functional. Since I've done all the coding already, you can just follow the instructions without worrying about that. ;D)
