Summary
I lived with this hunger long before the Hail Mary. This is nothing new. I’m fine.
Right up until Rocky asks another question.
“When last time you touch other human person skin, question?”
Oh. Oh no. “When I… a few days after I first woke up here.”
Rocky starts to relax for a split second, but then tightens when something occurs to him.
“Grace crewmates dead when you wake up. You said this, statement. You not even know your own name, remember nothing, see dead bodies, confirm?”
I nod, because if I open my mouth I will gag.
“When last time Grace touch ALIVE human person, question.”
I swallow thickly. I don’t answer aloud because I know Rocky can hear the hitch in my breath. My stomach churns with fresh bile. He senses my vital signs tick over into stress patterns and goes very, very still again.
“Grace. When last time, question.”
I clench my jaw so hard my temples ache, and beg him with my eyes to just stop.
“Grace. Please say not when… when Evil Stratt humans put you to sleep.”
I can taste grass.

The Desperate Uncertainty of Love by sareliz for linusmir
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
20 May 2020

Summary
Viktor had always known was love was. One couldn't raise the roses his family did without knowing it. Somehow he had imagined love being beautiful and kind to him. And then he went and fell in love and discovered the desperate uncertainty of it.
***
This work is the prequel to Debts of Honor, it is entirely Viktor POV, it takes place from August to June of his year studying abroad, and this means it is unresolved angst. (Resolution takes place in Debts of Honor.) It is slightly, but not entirely, canonical.
Be ye forewarned.

Summary
The Enterprise has been tasked with convincing an alien race to join the Federation, but Jim isn't having much luck persuading them. When they insist that a ritual to reveal one's true self is the only way to gain their trust, Leonard volunteers. It's better than watching Jim or Spock risk themselves, but he could never have predicted the consequences.
OR
Leonard gets high on an alien ritual drink, has to suffer through withdrawal on the shuttle ride home, and then, to make matters even worse, has to apologize to Spock.
