You Can't Hide Forever (But You Can Certainly Try) by Drag0nst0rm for silverseed, eset
Fandoms: Merlin (TV)

Summary
After yet another attack on Camelot, Arthur's investigating everyone's rooms for traces of magic to reassure the populace. Gwaine's got nothing better to do, so he follows along. Everything's fine . . . Until they get to Merlin's room.
It's not evidence of magic. It's a good deal more problematic than that.

A Story About Us by professorplum221

Summary
It would have been so much easier if the memories came back to him in chronological order—if he could have watched the significant moments of his life play out before his eyes like a film. But he supposed it would have been pure fantasy to expect something so orderly and convenient from as ancient and inexact a process as the refusion. Besides, if there was anything he did remember about who he was, it was that his mind had never seemed to work quite as logically as he wanted it to.
In the days following his refusion on Mount Seleya, Spock struggles to piece together the fragments of his recovered memories.

Summary
It was suddenly imperative to get to Spock. To check him over, talk through what had happened. Touch him, freely, if Spock would allow it. Be near him if he wouldn’t.
After they return from Parmen's torment, Jim anchors himself back on his ship, with his people.
Then he goes to do the same for Spock.

Summary
“I’ve just come from an Admiralty meeting,” Jim said, voice steady even as his emotions rioted within. “They’ve passed an amendment to Regulation 1138b.”
In spite of his attempts at moderation, Spock felt his pulse speed up. “Regulation 1138b. This is... the regulation pertaining to relationships within the direct chain of command. The amendment you are referring to specifically prevented those in command from entering into relationships with those immediately under them in the command chain, for fear of compromising the integrity of the command team.” Spock recited this numbly, unable to think properly around the emotions now writhing beneath his skin. Because... Jim couldn’t be implying...?
He swallowed, his mouth inexplicably very dry. A strange warmth was spreading throughout his limbs, and his head felt terribly light. He was very suddenly quite certain that the contact between his and the Admiral’s hands was highly dangerous. He could not bring himself to terminate it.

(Or, Jim asks a question. Spock answers.)

Summary
A chance assumption at a diplomatic event could lead Kirk to start considering some things he's been keeping close to the chest, if he wasn't suffering from a near-bulletproof level of emotional repression.
Bones tries to help. Uhura tries to help. Spock mostly looms.

Spock shares a suite-style sonic with her captain aboard the Enterprise and begrudgingly becomes acquainted with the time-honored tradition among human women for exploiting the bathroom as a social space as much as a hygienic one.

Summary
When Jim collapses after Spock Prime’s death, it seems logical to conclude that he had inadvertently formed a t’hy’la bond with Jim– and that there’s only one way to keep Jim from following his t’hy’la into death.

Summary
"It is pointless to lie to me." Spock states, and though it is said in a neutral tone of voice, simply a fact, Kirk still deflates, hurt flashing across his face before it is wiped away by the blank, charming smile that, if Spock were to be completely honest with himself, is starting to frustrate him. "We are bonded, and though you do your best to shield me from your emotions, you are not adept enough at doing so to prevent all emotional transference. You are sad. You have been sad."

Summary
The pings were all from Overse’s interface and routed from a transit ring called Trans-All, the kind of ping that was just are you in range – are you in range – are you in range. It was a call for help and it fucking terrified me, because I was answering it way, way too late.

Summary
Jim ran a hand down Spock’s shoulder to his wrist, long fingers parted. Glancing up, he said quietly but surely, “Do with my body what you will. I trust you not to eat any of the foods you know I’m allergic to, and the rest?” He exhaled softly. “Well. Don’t limit yourself with reservations you expect I might have.”
Spock and Jim swap bodies for a night. It is more of an exercise in trust than Spock had imagined.

Summary
She tried not to think of the way Phlox had abruptly switched the monitor off just as Trip’s vital signs had arrested, or how he had looked at her with profound sympathy before uttering, “I’m so sorry, T’Pol,” but it was proving a difficult image to banish. Despite having just seen Trip alive and well, the moment of his demise, the certainty that he was gone from her forever, kept repeating in her mind. Meditation was a necessity.

Summary
"No, it's fine," Julian said automatically. "But, Garak, is everything all right?"
"Captain Sisko wanted to see me," Garak said—which was so conspicuous a refusal to answer the question Julian had asked that it almost didn't qualify as an evasion. He pulled out the chair opposite Julian, and sat.
"Captain Sisko? Why?"
"Well, apparently," Garak said, "Cardassia has lodged a formal request with the Federation for my extradition."
(Or: Garak has a problem. Julian marries him to fix it. Except that means Julian also has a problem, albeit of a very different kind.)
