Summary
Look at his Captain stealing across the frigid room to be sick in the privy so as to not wake him – was that generosity of spirit not more true than a high-handed compliment or fair manners? Was that not gallantry at work?

Summary
"There's simply been a reheating of the books, so to speak. A few halo points for me, a tiny speck of brimstone for you and it all works out in the end, you'll see."
It's as sound a theory as Aziraphale's own. And they haven't heard from either office so –
"Why worry about it," he says with a smile and leans back in his chair.Aziraphale and Crowley experience unforeseen side effects from their swap. Transformative panic and fiction ensue.

Summary
Stranded on the planet Sigma Nox while searching for a missing away team, Spock and Kirk find themselves pitted against a disturbing native life form. With the captain out of commission on a regular basis and Spock struggling to preserve his stoicism, staying alive is difficult enough – but when a slim chance for escape surfaces, their resolve is truly put to the test. Together they must fight for survival in the heart of an alien jungle, and in the process, uncover the mystery of the planet’s past. Slow build K/S.
Written for the 2011 Star Trek Big Bang on Livejournal - look for links to the mix and art there!
Warnings: Minor character death. Mind control themes and sort-of-zombies. Dark at times due to twisted xenobiological shenanigans. Mild themes of stress-related weight loss. Heaps of TOS references and/or spoilers. Eventual smut. Freakishly long chapters.

Lovely. Great characterization and humor, with blinding sunspots of deeper emotion (the last lines, GODDDD)

Summary
This is several stories, not just the story of Jim & Bones' epic romance.
Jim's story. "Most would think defeating the Narada was my greatest triumph, but those closest to me know the truth. The Narada was a distant third. My last Kobayashi Maru comes in second-- and not for the reasons you'd think. The first, well..."
Chris's story. "I reached a certain age and thought I knew exactly who I was and what I wanted out of life. Then I walked into an Iowa bar and realized I wasn't the person I thought I knew. Not even close..."
Leonard's story. "You know that story? the one where Pike meets Kirk and there's mentoring and bonding and they tiptoe through the tulips into happily ever? Well, this ain't it. Dipshit."

Epic, emotionally complex. Left me with a terrible yearning for more proper Pike fic.
