Title: In the Blink of a Guardian
Warnings: Canon deaths, spoilers for "Yesteryear" and the reboot.
Summary: What seemed a misstep to be corrected may have been better despite its appearance. And one man's tendency to sacrifice himself for the greater good may go deeper than it seems.
Author's notes: Inspired by a brilliantly conceived TOS fanfic wherein we see what might have happened in the alternate timeline of the TAS episode "Yesteryear." It's a very interesting idea, and the alternate timeline becomes even more striking when you see how it would affect the reboot (which came out several years after the story was written.) And therein lies our tale.
Author's notes #2: Some of this may be slightly confusing if you aren't familiar with TAS's "Yesteryear." Spock goes back in time for research, comes back to a timeline where he died young, and time-jumps again to save his own life. The episode can be found on Youtube, and is worth watching despite the rather iffy animation.

Title: The Feline Brigade
Warnings: None
Summary: One-shot featuring the familiar furry faces of an alternate Enterprise - may be followed up with more.
Author's notes: Written to a (not at all kinky) prompt on the kink meme, and loosely similar to my piece "Of Cats and Doctors." I could find no equivalent of "cat" in the Vulcan dictionary, and so cobbled together pi'kei'i, meaning "little claw," which seems to fit.

Summary: There's a planet Argo in this timeline too, and all sorts of ways to get in trouble there...
Author's notes: I have committed a terrible sin. I have taken that infamous TOS filk song, "Banned from Argo" by Leslie Fish, and I have expanded upon it in the reboot universe. Just so you know, the plot is the major characters getting into weird, hilarious trouble while on shore leave. And that, really, is about it. You have been warned.

Title: Circular Death
Warnings: Character death and general darkness, spoilers for Yesteryear, Amok Time, TWOK, TSFS, and the reboot.
Summary: Spock Prime has lived a strange and dangerous life. These are the five times he knew he'd die - sometimes correctly, sometimes not.
Author's notes: This is... weird for me. Normally I'm very very much a dialogue person - I can write pieces that are entirely dialogue without realizing it - but this contains not only no dialogue but no personal names. I don't know if it has some nice effect, or if it just comes off as weird. Also, I don't know where this whole idea came from. I really do love Spock Prime, and I kind of hate to make my first official fanfic be basically an excuse to rehash the angst and death in his life, and add some more on top. I'm not usually this morbid, I swear!
