Grief as a four-dimensional figure by Moreta1848
Fandoms: Star Trek, Star Trek: Alternate Original Series (Movies)
07 Feb 2024
Tags
Summary
"One might arguably say it is not fully logical to care whether I cannot return to Vulcan because it no longer exists or because it is separated from me permanently in five-dimensional space.”
“No, I think I get it,” said Jim. “Like, I haven’t gone back to the old house in Iowa in years, but I do like knowing it’s there. If my mom sold it and it got knocked down, it would make a difference to me.”
The ambassador nodded. “Likewise, even in four-dimensional space, we are separated from the things we have lost only by distance—by the fact that we cannot easily travel along the timeline.” He marked out a section of his timeline, then a dot further back in the bottom timeline—Jim’s timeline. “My marriage is here. I am here, in a different timeline and at a different time. But my marriage exists. It is a figure in four-dimensional space which will continue to exist, in that sense, eternally. So long as the timeline does not collapse, it is a permanent part of history. So although I do not have my spouse with me, I know that he existed. That somewhere, in a time and a dimension I cannot go, we are meeting for the first time. That somewhere, I am asleep in his arms.”

Summary
It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single Vulcan in possession of a Starfleet commission must be in want of a spouse.
Due to a series of bad decisions and bad luck, the Kirk family is stuck on Vulcan for the foreseeable future. Jim Kirk longs to join Starfleet, but circumstances have gotten in his way. Winona's solution is simple: just marry your way to your dreams.
Jim isn't planning on that. Especially given Spock is the worst, most stuck-up, unbearable sample of a Vulcan one might ever encounter. But even Spock isn't immune to a pair of fine hazel eyes...

Summary
Cloud's ma was wrong. He wasn't obsessed with Sephiroth. He didn't have a crush (ew). Sephiroth was just objectively the coolest kid in town - and yeah, he never left that weird old manor, and his dad was a greasy rat, and he had a propensity for staring at Cloud like he could make lasers come out of his eyes. But that was all part of the Sephiroth experience! It was fine! Cloud would be fine.
Thanks to a wish granted by the lifestream, Cloud is born in 1984, two years earlier than he should be. Sephiroth is being raised in secret within the walls of Shinra Manor by Hojo and a handful of Shrina employees, and Cloud (age eleven) is a willful magnet for trouble.

A Little Human Emotionality by Moreta1848
Fandoms: Star Trek, Star Trek: The Original Series
09 Nov 2024
Tags
Summary
One kiss. That was all it took to completely devastate him, if it was Spock. He’d been longing for this for so long. Pulling back slightly, he opened his eyes.
Spock was looking back at him, completely unruffled.
Jim looked down, embarrassed. “Was that—all right?”
“It was most interesting, Jim.”
Jim straightened up and started to move away. Spock loved him—that, at least, had been understood. If he didn’t want to kiss, it was all right.
Spock’s hand snapped out and caught Jim by the wrist. “You do not need to stop. I said I found it interesting. Perhaps I should have instead said fascinating?”

The Sight of a Touch, or the Scent of a Sound by Moreta1848
Fandoms: Star Trek, Star Trek: The Original Series
13 Nov 2023
Tags
Summary
When Spock was born, his father suspected he wouldn’t be much of a telepath, not with half human blood. But to everyone’s surprise, his telepathy is powerful and precise. By the time he is ten, he is reading his teachers’ minds when they try to read his. Sinking into another’s mind is as natural to him as opening his eyes.
And he is curious, so curious, always. About the stars, about science, about every mind he encounters. He didn’t go to space to meld with new and exciting alien minds, but it’s definitely a perk.

Summary
When the mark appeared on his wrist, Luffy was told that he'd fall in love the instant he met his special person. The thing was, Luffy wasn’t the type of guy to let some soulmark dictate his path in life, and Zoro looked awfully friend-shaped to him.
Torao, on the other hand, with his dead-eyed stare and the furrow in his brow, had a really nice smile.

Summary
He'd like to think he's slick enough, the way he can keep the dull ache of his chest tucked away in the hidden back pocket of his heart and expertly school his features whenever one of Luffy's wayward smiles knocks all defiance and strength out of his knees. No need to call on his powers to slice and muddle and skew reality as everyone knows it; he can bitch and spit and grouse about how much disgrace Luffy's simple kindness brings to all pirates, make a show of stamping out any notion of friendship between them beneath his feet, and no one will have to hear any semblance of the truth exit his mouth – now or ever.
In all honesty, it's easier that way.
(Or: my personal twist on the Hanahaki trope, in which Luffy's warmth shines all-too-terrifyingly like the sun and Law has to physically rip out anything that vaguely even resembles love from his own body again, and again, and again on desperate repeat.Luckily for him, he has the surgical precision and exactly the right devil fruit powers for that).

Oh, and he is married.

Summary
Usopp didn’t say anything, instead just pointing at Luffy’s soulmark.
He blinked down at it in amazement. It wasn’t black anymore. It was a deep blue, gleaming metallic under the harsh lights of the cabin.
“Oh! WOW!” he exclaimed. “When did that happen?”
“When did… Luffy, are you serious?”
“Why should I know?”
“…they said it to your face!”
“Oh yeah! Hmm…” Luffy paused, squinting harder at the words. “I don’t remember.”
———
Everyone says that soulmates are a special, wonderful thing, and Luffy believes that wholeheartedly. But no one seems able to describe what makes them so different from the many, many other people Luffy’s loved in his life.
And he was fine not knowing right up until his own words finally lit up. Now, not only doesn’t he understand what they stand for, but he doesn’t even remember who said them to him! And each passing day makes it less and less likely that he’ll find out.
Oh well, Robin says these things eventually sort themselves out. He can only hope that she’s right (she usually is).

“Why did you buy me a muffin?”
Luffy shrugged. “I wanted to. It’s gluten-free, so it’s cool, right?”
“You,” Law repeated, “wanted to.”
(Or: It’s just a muffin. Now if only Law could believe that.)
