About What I Said - Kirk broke things off with Chapel, and he did it in a way he knew would hurt her since she was resisting letting go; he has no one to blame but himself if she moves on. So why is he having such a hard time letting go? And why does she seem to have picked his best friend to move on to?

Clean Slate - After slavers who traffic in high-value labor take Chapel, she loses her identity but retains her skills. Kirk wants to get the rest of her back, and Spock is willing to use a meld to try. But this is after V'ger and there are things unsaid that need to come out, on all sides. This is Kirk/Chapel and Spock/Chapel. Hard truths, compromised people behaving badly: this one's not light and bantery. No violence for those worried there might be.

Doomed to Repeat - Do people ever really change? This is Kirk-Chapel fic. This is also Spock/Chapel fic. It is not however, Kirk/Spock/Chapel fic--just in case you were waiting for something new on that front.
Featured Attraction - She thought sex would open Spock's emotional doors, not slam them all shut. (Yes, this does belong on the Kirk/Chapel page too.)
For the First Time in My Life, I Was Happy - I am in debt to a reader for the suggestion to write a story with Leila Kalomi, which I had not done before. Said requestor was most unhappy with where this went. I'm super happy with it. I think it turned out to be balanced and canon-friendly. This is Kirk/Chapel, Spock/Chapel, and Spock/Leila (that's in alpha order, not necessarily how things end).
In Your Bed - This is probably as much a character piece as a romance. Definitely a bit experimental--and a format that I think only works in fanfic where we have all the shared references. Hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.
Live Fast, Regret Later - Sometimes why we do things is not that important--other times it is. A character I didn't expect intruded on this and ran away with the story. Grrrr.
Matchmaker, Matchmaker - I don't like what the powers that be did with Kirk in Generations, but it's canon I guess so I'm going to work with it. How did Kirk meet Antonia-and why'd he leave her? And what does Chapel have to do with it?
A Mirror, Not a Window - This Chapel's not nice. And she loves the hunt. This wasn't intended to be Mirror Universe, but if you're really determined to see it that way, I'm not going to say you can't.
Never Give All The Heart - This may be more a character study than a romance. It's Kirk's blackest time, the time on Earth after the first five-year mission. He won't give all his heart to the woman he's with--but does he ever? Once he's back on the ship, can he change? Or is it too late even if he can? This is Kirk/Chapel and Spock/Chapel. It is not all three. (Novelette/11,700 words)
Not Ready to Make Nice - "Forgive, sounds good. Forget, I'm not sure I could. They say time heals everything. But I'm still waiting." With apologies to the Dixie Chicks, but their song, minus the political parts, says it better than I can. This is Kirk/Chapel and Spock/Uhura and it's a messy story. Not any kind of multiples, so if you're afraid I'll add Uhura to the three-pack: don't worry, I won't.
Passion is the Gale - Kirk wanted a disfunctional story for him and Chapel. Spock was not interested in being relegated to the sidelines since stories from me are now fewer and farther between. It led to an interesting dynamic. This is a bit of an angstfest.
The Peril of Intervening Between Water and Stone - The road to hell and all that. This is Spock/Chapel and Kirk/Chapel, but not all three. Written for Harmony Bites, who provided the plot bunnies. Hope I used them well!
Safe Word - The title should give it away. Written with the premise: "It's a flavorful treat but can you make a meal of it?" This is mostly Kirk/Chapel, but there's some Spock/Chapel (and some Spock/Uhura implied, if that's how you like it). (Novelette/8,800 words)
Tainted - After the conspiracy and Khitomer, Chapel lives under a cloud of suspicion. Kirk & Spock may be the only ones who can help her get out from under it. But what else do they want? This can go all kinds of ways including Kirk/Spock/Chapel. Be warned.

Like We Never Had A Broken Heart - This story was inspired by a scene in the Carter Series story "Bridges," but you don't have to have read that story to enjoy this. Set just before ST:TMP. This was a dark time in Kirk's life.
