Summary
After a serious incident aboard a starship, Commander Spock is demoted and transferred to a remote base where he must now serve with other "undesirables."

Summary
Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy are cursed. Probably. Maybe.
All Hermione knows for certain is that he keeps sticking his pointy nose and other body parts where they aren't welcome: like into her dating life, and under her skin, literally.
Meanwhile, all Draco knows for certain is that in all his fantasies of getting into her knickers, he never imagined it happening like that.
A twist of fate, a statistical anomaly, or a sex curse: whatever the cause, there's (probably) just one solution.

(In which Hermione and Draco Apparate into one another, repeatedly.)

Summary
The Inquisitor talks just a little bit more, and Solas listens just a little bit better.
When he first meets her, he does not like her.
She is the perfect culmination of every mistake he’s ever made, quintessentially Dalish with Mythal’s vallaslin tracing her cheekbones, built on the narrow bird bones that are so common to the modern creatures that call themselves elven.

Summary
Something ticked in Paul’s mind as the familiar words washed through him. When he looked at John, his friend was already looking at him. And suddenly, it all became clear: He remembered having that conversation more than 50 years ago. He remembered it too well.
He had been thinking about it for years, wondering what he should have understood, how he should have reacted. If it was as meaningful as it had felt or if his memory had just romanticized it.
“I don’t think a love like that obeys to any rules,” John went on, unaware of Paul’s agitation. “It’s not something that humans have created, not like a societal thing. It’s deeper than that, and that’s what some people are afraid of I guess, because they can’t control it. Whatever laws they create, they can never control it. A white lad will fall in love with a black girl.” He paused. “A lad with another lad. You know.”
--
Summer 2019, 77-year-old Paul wakes up feeling surprisingly good. One tiny problem: he is back in December 1965.
