PG-13; B:tVS/Star Trek (2009); Buffy/Bones. 2500 words, for kerrykhat; sequel to Out of the Silver Sea.

Buffy was far too old and jaded to cry; not even for the first man she'd, okay, loved, in more than a century would she let herself be that weak. But this was a day of surprises, it seemed.

Title: As Sparks Fly Upward

Author: Jedi Buttercup

Rating: PG-15

Disclaimer: The words are mine; the world is not.

Summary: A few months after the destruction of Vulcan, Captain Kirk accepts an unorthodox mission from Starfleet Intelligence that involves an incognito mission across the Neutral Zone to investigate rumors of kidnapped scientists. 28,700 words.

Warnings: Some violence; suggestion of past torture/rape of third parties.

Notes: ST:XI team-fic, slightly AU, from Kirk's POV with background canon pairing. Can be read with only that much Star Trek knowledge, but also includes plot/character details from several TOS episodes (including "The Conscience of the King" and "The Enterprise Incident") and authorized novels (especially "The Pandora Principle", "My Enemy, My Ally" and "Star Trek Academy: Collision Course"). NOT related to my missing scene fics.

Acknowledgements: To ileliberte, my fabulous artist; maevebran and avamclean, for beta work and hand-holding; lettersfromeleanorrigby, for influencing my Jim and Bones; taraljc, for inspiring me to include Number One; and azarsuerte, for issuing the request that led to this plot idea in the first place. Fic title from Job 5:7; chapter titles from Star Trek XI transcript; Romulan words from the Rihannsu to English dictionary.

PG-13, Star Trek XI, Pike POV; gen, 4900 words.

By the fourth morning Christopher Pike wakes up in the sickbay of the USS Enterprise, he is heartily sick of his surroundings, his circumstances, his own emotional reactions to the above, and just about every other facet of his current existence.

(4th in a series; falls between "Pressing Sail" and "But Not Jim Kirk" in my sequence of gap fillers).
