    Summary

    Autumn, 1930, New York City. The Guardian of Forever has given Spock and Captain Kirk one chance. An enterprising and neighbourly woman, Edith Keeler, is able to offer them work when they arrive, but Jim realises her rate of payment won't be enough to get them the supplies they need in order to locate McCoy before their timeline is forever altered. With little honest and lucrative work available, Jim manages to make a series of connections which will allow him to be paid for sexually servicing men at a discerning hotel in the evenings. Of course, Spock and Edith can't know.

    Much like "City on the Edge of Forever", this is a Jim Kirk character study featuring complicated feelings about life, death, and falling in love.

    Summary

    “Talk about a first kiss,” Matt laughs, voice husky. He’s tilted his head back in reverie, exposing the sheen on the hollow of his faintly bobbing throat.

    Shiro suddenly feels as though he’s started traveling at the speed of light. As though he’s back in his room on a now-cannibalized shuttle, Matt between his legs, tinny music coming through the radio at his belt.

    “Your memory’s better than mine,” he says. His throat feels thick. Neither of them are dancing anymore.

    — Shiro and Matt had something romantic and undefined on the Kerberos mission, but after enduring Galra slave camps, the gladiatorial arena, and forced amputation, rebel Matt reunites with Pidge and Shiro as a completely new man. Shiro takes the time to learn how much Matt has and hasn’t changed, and vice versa, as they rebuild something new together.

    Summary

    Blitz looked over to where Stolas was standing in front of the coffee machine, pressing buttons from a foot away as if he thought they might electrocute him. He watched as the coffee poured out too quickly and the man scrambled to find a cup, letting all of the best brewed liquid swirl down into the waste tray and only catching the end of the cycle. He started to pour cold milk from the carton into the mug and then realised his mistake, turning instead to a jug of milk he had heated already and which probably now wasn’t much warmer than the milk from the fridge. The result, Blitz knew, would be a cold and watery coffee, much like the one sitting on the tray currently. Yeah, that was going to be a problem.

    Just then Stolas looked up to see Blitz watching him and beamed, his face lighting up and a small blush dancing across his cheeks as he waved a hand that was covered in coffee grounds.

    Yeah, that was going to be a problem too.
