The Absence of Happiness - What if you never felt good enough? What if happy was always out or reach? This is probably more a Chapel piece than a Spock/Chapel piece. Obviously written before Strange New Worlds, when it was still possible for Chapel and Number One to be sisters.
The Burning - I'm trying new things and this is (supposed to be) a prose poem. Spock valiantly offered to be the guinea pig for my attempts (actually he just was sick of his dad getting all the action, but he'll coat that in altruism, as is his way). It's the Pon Farr and them and maybe poetry buried in prose, if I did this at all right.
Driven - An unforeseen action during the Pon Farr leads to a commitment Chapel and Spock may not be ready for and no, this is not baby fic. Probably my most "in character" portrayal of these two yet, and a hopefully realistic look at two people trying to accommodate their new situation. (Novelette/12,600)
From the Sky
- Christine survives a disastrous encounter with Spock, but
finds that memories of him haunt her. This is oneof my first Spock/Chapel pieces and I was new to writing. I've given it a good edit, but the craftsmanship is still rougher than I like. That said, I love the story itself enough to do the work on it and post it here, rather than just slapping it unedited onto the "Old Stuff" page and calling it a day. (Novelette/9,600 words)
Grief - A story about love but also about the havoc grief plays, and the many ways it affects us and others.
Inconvenient Connections - He's bonded to one woman, involved with another, but situations change. Set before and during Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country. This is Spock/Chapel and Spock/Valeris, and a bit of a retcon. I had fun with this.
Lasting Impressions - Months after V'ger, a routine landing party proves anything but, and sets Spock on a path he didn't expect to be on. And one that proves more difficult than he expected. Straight up Spock/Chapel for those tired of other things. High on angst, some fun stuff too. I return to my roots for this one.

Lifeline All I wanted to do, during these horrible times, was write a nice romantic and sexy Spock/Chapel story. Do you think my muse would let me? No, she had to go and complicate it up so it's not fluff anymore. Hopefully, I will still deliver something sweet.
Shanghaied - Be careful what you wish for. (Short Story/4,000 words)
The Spirit of the Season - Dedicated to MURPHYCAT a special Christmas story writen especially for her. In which I try to work out my own Xmas angst and still try to find a happy ending for Chapel's. Helped along with doting mother-in-laws, Vulcans, Gump's, and kitties, LOL. Merry Christmas! (Short Story/3,300 words)
Tainted Love - Betrayed by their partners after the events in STVI, Spock and Chapel finally turn to each other. But can they shake the past? How fragile is trust?
We'll Pretend You Love Me - It's not my habit to revisit stories. But I'm going to. This is "Featured Attraction" with the question "What if they'd been rescued several years instead of several weeks after being captured?" How would things be different? How would Spock and Chapel's relationship change? Will the same choices be made? This is twice as long as the original story, only the first 5K words are the same. I'm not rewriting the old one because I've changed my mind about the ending: that ending still stands for that story. This is a new story in response to new variables.
Whip Me, Beat Me, Show Me That You Care - Sometimes what happened in the past obscures a clear view of the present. Sometimes anger gets in the way of progress. Sometimes you have to shut up to really communicate. This is a flash sequence, and despite the title, this is not about bondage fun, nor in any way 50 Shades of Green, so ummm sorry if you were looking for that LOL.
