Summary
Alastor notices that Lucifer seems to be suffering from the aftereffects of Vox's attempted coup and, well, he's never been one to turn down such a prime opportunity to make a deal with a Morningstar. Lucifer doesn't have to know what Alastor is really gaining from the arrangement.
A companion piece to Toothless featuring Alastor's POV. The idea is to be able to read both of them separately if you wanted.

Summary
Silence.
Jim pulls back the comm to look at the little screen. They’re still connected.
“Spock?” He asks. Nothing. Jim is about to snap the comm closed in frustration, when he hears a ragged inhale.
“You’re on a roof?” Spock’s voice is deadly soft, flat and hard and…something else that Jim’s brain won’t process. Jim rolls his eyes. He grabs another drink and wrestles it open, taking three large swigs before he bothers responding.
~~~
After the events of ST:ID, Jim calls Spock from a rooftop. Spock misunderstands.

Summary
From the 2009 Star Trek Kink Meme (I believe it was an anonymous request, but I no longer have the link):
"Vulcans only mate when in Pon Farr (I realize that's not canon, but work with me here). But Spock, being half-human, experiences normal human sexual urges, thoughts, arousal. From a very young age, he is taught that his desires are unnatural, freakish, horrifying. Possibly he's punished for getting an erection, waking up with sticky sheets, maybe even when someone senses he's aroused (smell, touch telepathy, whatever).
"So basically, Spock knows next to nothing about sex (except that it's Bad with a capital B) and is deeply ashamed of his desires. Cue some h/c in the form of K/S, yes? Yes."
The kinkmeme was 2009-Trek inspired, the prompt did not specify a canon. This fic is TOS canon, with TOS characterizations and episode references.

Summary
“What, do you think this is my entire plan? A year-long espionage campaign conducted for the sole purpose of seeing the spymaster of this realm in his shirtsleeves? Get over yourself.” Caleb had thought that a trip to an herbalist’s shop had seemed like a perfectly innocuous prospect. Doing so while following Essek through the maze-like alleys and corridors of the Night Market had even seemed like a pleasant way to while away a chilly autumn afternoon. Now, though? Now Essek is sprawled out on the divan in Caleb’s study, looking anxious, flushed, and more than a little feverish. Caleb has to admit: the day’s events have taken a bit of a turn.
