    Summary

    Captain Kirk, Spock, and Bones are kidnapped, and their captors just want information. Instead of spilling Starfleet secrets when pumped full of truth serum, though, they reveal their own ways of getting around the truth and nothing but the truth... and perhaps a few more things they would have preferred to keep their mouths shut about.

    Living on a spaceship with an alien that exclusively speaks in song can really recontextualize karaoke for a guy.

    Summary

    I think everyone needs to hear someone say, “Nobody else will do. It has to be you,” sometime in their lives, even if it only happens once. Just once is enough. As long as you can feel sure those words were sincere, you can live through anything, no matter how painful.

    Except Rocky isn’t the first person to say that to me, is he? Now that I think about it, I realize I’ve heard it before.

    Stratt just phrased it poorly, that’s all.

    Summary

    "Rocky did not understand human names and titles when we met. Eridian names longer, give information on Eridian's home, associations, skills." For the first time in ages, he positioned two of his arms together, forming the design that Grace thought of like a family crest, a single design bisected.

    "You should teach me to read those before we get to Erid, so I can be polite." As Grace considered the linework, already picking up on some vague ideas from the shapes in Rocky's carapace, something else occurred to him. "So… I picked 'Rocky' because your outer shell looks like stone."

    "And for inspirational story of athlete who defeats human system of poverty to become great champion. Eye of the tiger."

    "Retroactively, yeah." Grace bent at the hips, getting to Rocky's 'eye' level. "So what'd you name me?"
