In the Event of My Death
by Mara
Summary: Trip decides to record a message to be played in the event of his death.
NOTES: I think brushes with death affect everyone differently. Hoshi’s response
to the events of “Shuttlepod One” can be seen in my fic “Dear Annie.” This is
Trip’s reaction. Thanks to Josephine for looking at this when I wasn’t entirely
sure what it was… Read more ›
Alone Inside My Head (An Exile Coda)
by Mara
Summary: “After meeting Tarquin, she discovered a compulsion to evaluate every sound for whether it was inside or outside her head.”
NOTES: This is Medie and Chris’ fault–Medie for saying I needed to write a
post-ep and Chris for his comment on the LD about the episode. I’ve stolen a few
bits of dialogue from the actual episode. They should be fairly obvious. By the
way, it seems that everyone and their mother has written a missing scene or coda
for this episode, but I think mine’s a bit different than the others.

Making History
by Mara
Summary: The Enterprise crew ponders their place in history.
NOTES: Malcolm’s bit about the Captain, et al., is paraphrased from the musical
_1776_ by Sherman Edwards and Peter Stone. My apologies to those esteemed
gentlemen for stealing it, it was just…perfect. Thanks as always to Captain
Average for the beta. Read more ›
The Fear
by Mara
Summary: Hoshi’s thoughts after “Sleeping Dogs.”

Schismogenesis
by Mara
Summary: Hoshi reads. Malcolm teases. Trip and T’Pol argue. Hoshi proposes a theory.
NOTES: A smidgen of R/S shippiness (as a gift to the R/S shippers on the
Linguistics Database Forum) and a little Tu/T shippiness (as a gift to Captain
Average, the superhero with a thing for the Vulcan babe). Voluminous thanks, as
always, to Captain Average for the beta.

Waiting
by Mara
Summary: Malcolm and Hoshi have a mission of their very own. It was *supposed* to be easy.
NOTES: This isn’t the story I intended to write, but it’s something 🙂 I got
this idea from the saga that ate a good chunk of this week for my boss. She
might or might not appreciate the result.
DEDICATION: For Stexgirl on her birthday, 2/28. ::hugs:: Read more ›
Archer’s Walk: Unexplained Phenomena
by Mara
Summary: When Jon takes a stroll through his ship, everyone he meets is acting strangely.
NOTES: This story is a response to Taryn’s second Writer’s Block Party
Challenge: “Archer is taking a walk with Porthos late at night. Take him from
his quarters to the mess hall. What does he see and overhear? Does he talk to
anyone? What’s going on in the mess hall?” Layout of the ship is extrapolated
from the unclear blueprints at startrek.com. I’ve chosen to ignore the
conflicting statements on the show itself. If you don’t like it, take it up with
TIIC, not me. Read more ›
