Spock/Chapel: Romantic But Not Without Angst

They'll get there, but not without a swim in the angst pool.

After Effects   -   So much fallout from the encounter with V'ger. Not all of it bad. Not all of it good, either. This gets messy. Please trust me and my muse and take the ride. I think you'll enjoy it.


After the Madness   -   During and after "Amok Time" from Spock's POV. The burning is over. So what are these feelings he has for Christine? This is one of my first Spock/Chapel fics and even though I've given it a good edit, it's still rough--not the way I'd have written it now, but I enjoy the plot enough to put it here rather than on the old stuff page. (Short Story/5,100 words)


Emotional Rescue   -   Post-V'ger, Spock is ready to explore his emotions. Chapel only wants to run the other way.

What Might Have Been   -   A short Kirk-centric prequel for those who wondered what "delightful" really meant.


Frostbite   -   A return to my roots with this one. Spock, sick of being twisted and darkened, asks Djinn for a story where he at least has the possibility of getting the girl. Blame this one on the February East Coast blizzard and iffy heat in my apartment.


Give Them Always a Place to Cry and Never a Reason to Need It   -   Set post Star Trek V, Chapel has rejoined the crew of the Enterprise. But she's not in the best emotional state and intervention comes from an unlikely source.


Isolated Incidences   -   Chapel is hurt and alone. Spock finds her. This may be the most romantic thing I've ever written for these two. If you're tired of all the stories where Spock does not get the girl, this is for you.


Joining   -   It takes time for "with someone" to mean "together." (Novella/36,000 words)


Too Old for This   -   Chapel and Spock find themselves adrift after the loss of Kirk and Scotty. For those who think I'm mean to Uhura, please note her running off with entire scenes here (not unlike what McCoy often does). (Novelette/8,700 words)


What We Ought Not To Have   -   Blame this one on MizJoely. She wanted a simple, not frakked-up Spock/Chapel romance after "What Are Little Girls Made Of?" I tried, I swear I tried to do fluff. But my fluff always manages to dip a toe (if not more) in the angst pool. (Short Story/6,700 words)
