Life is a bitch, and then one stabs you.

Title: Brief Lives (7/?)
Author: monstrousreg
Word count:  3009
Warnings:  None in this chapter. 
Pairing: Erik/Charles.
Summary: Erik thinks he's going to seduce, interrogate and murder some nondescript CIA intelligence agent, and winds up biting more than he can chew. Charles is not keen on being murdered, he doesn't favor interrogations, and he's certainly not willing to be seduced. That he's not cooperating is midly put.   
Notes:  Unbetaed, and stuff. Dude. This week is a giant clusterfuck and it's still Monday. I will set someone on fire by the end of this fucking week, I can tell.

Summary: An example of what life is in a house in Iowa, in the year-and-a-half mandatory shoreleave in between DS5 missions.

Summary: Four years into the DS5 mission, Starfleet Command calls for an investigation regarding the nature of the relationship between Commander Spock and Captain Kirk. These are the interviews of the command core and their insights on said relationship. It seems Kirk's apparent delight in making Command's life impossible is contagious.
Notes: Last chapter!  This isn't like the others, but I had fun writing it and I think it's the right way to bring this plot to an end. I hope you enjoy it and thank you all for reading! I'm not a fandom virgin anymore, yay!

Notes: Well, I was actually working on Uhura, but then Scotty just kind of tackled me and I thought this was a sweet view on him, so I decided to go ahead. I have no idea why I'm not posting these in order of who they interviewed first, except I write at my whim. I might be in need of a beta, too. Anyone knows how I could go around getting one in this fandom? I don't know anyone.

Notes: I struggled a little with this one because I always see Pavel as young and cute and innocent, and I needed something different this time.
