Spock/Chapel: Older Works

These are works I didn't update--maybe because I don't want to take the time, maybe because I just wouldn't have written the story the same way, maybe because they're my writing "Baby Pictures" and if I clean them up, I'll never see how far I've come. For some, these stories are their favorites, so I include them here.

An Accident of Diplomacy   -   A routine diplomatic mission is anything but for Spock and Christine as wackiness ensues. (Novelette/15,000 words)


Banshee   -   To tell you what this is, would be to give too much away. Suffice it to say it is weird and dark. (Flash/400 words)


Down to the Bone   -   A Pon Farr, a bonding, a rejection, and a disastrous loss. Is there anything left for Christine and Spock? (Short Story/4,300 words)


Never Leave   -   Set sometime after the events in STVI, Christine has been tortured and no one can reach her but Spock is willing to try. Warning: Hurt/Comfort, this story deals with mature themes and real life issues. (Novelette/14,000 words)


Parallel Universes: Lost in the Bizarro World   -   Christine is lost in an alternate reality, where everything is, well, pretty darn weird. This is a satire. A biting one. Hopefully you'll be laughing and not fuming. (Novelette/7,800 words)


Time and Distance   -   Every now and then, I get the yen to do a hurt/comfort story. So be warned, this is that sort. But it is also a look at what is, what isn't, and dreams that go on too long. (Novelette/8,000 words)


Toxic   -   After Platonius, Spock wants nothing to do with Christine, until a mission puts them together again, giving him a chance to get to know the real Christine. A darker view of the Spock-Chapel dynamic. (Short Story/7,400 words)

Extreme Unction   -   A sequel to Toxic and a bridge to the next story... To say more, well, why ruin such a weird little tale? (Short Story/2,000 words)


Souls in Velvet Night   -   Sequel to "Extreme Unction" and "Toxic." Traces the life of Spock as we never really saw it through both his eyes and Christine's. But where is Christine? This is a different kind of story...prepare yourself for a bizarre, yet interesting, ride. (Novella/18,000 words)



The Spock/Chapel Series

For lack of a better name. These are some of my very first Trek stories. All kinds of mistakes I don't make now, but why not leave it as witness to the progress I've made since 2000. This series is complete. Negotiations   -   Set some time after ST:TMP    Spock encounters Christine during trade negotiations with an alien race and they both discover that they've each changed ... in some interesting ways. (Short Story/3,800)


Transitions   -   Sequel to Negotiations     Now both assigned to Starfleet headquarters, Spock and Christine resume their courtship until something happens to tear them apart. (Short Story/4,300 words)


Devastation   -   Sequel to Transitions     Reunited after a prolonged separation, Spock and Christine plan their future together, unaware of the disaster that waits just ahead. Set as ST:TWoK starts. (Short Story/5,600 words)


Absolution   -   Sequel to Devastation     Set just before ST:TVH begins, Christine and Spock go their separate ways. Years later, after the Khittomer Accords are signed a reunion finally is possible. (Novella/18,000 words)
