Valerii is a planet whose civilization is ruled by children, the adults becoming no more than mindless drones. Because of this, the children must be even more intelligent than their Terran adult counterparts - most especially when it comes to battling a disease native only to their planet. Spock, assigned to watch over a child of this planet, is soon drawn into a crisis planetwide on Valerii. And when his own life my lie in the hands of the children of Valerii, Spock may learn that children are more than capable of courage.

A three part story, each with a different child, a different tale, and all changing Spock.

What if Parmen had broken Spock during their first altercation?  Here’s a look at how events might have played out.  Response to ‘The Choice’ challenge from MDGarcia.  If you haven’t seen the episode ‘Plato’s Stepchildren,’ this story will make little sense.  Slightly AU.

Sequel to ‘Six Degrees  of Separation,’ this piece follows Kirk, McCoy and Spock during the three years leading up to, encompassing and shortly after TMP.  Can the big three survive without each other to lean on?  Can they find a way to repair the emotional wounds inflicted at the end of the 5-year mission?  It’s a long, slow, painful process, with a few bright spots to light the way…

Every K&S&M fan has their own reasoning behind the split of the big three at the end of the 5-year mission, something which bothered me for years.  This is my humble attempt at explaining the inexplicable.  I suppose this could be read as slash, but it certainly wasn’t written that way.

Valeris has no regrets for her betrayal. That will soon change.

Kirk and Spock are sent to Uriman V to smooth things over after a premature First Contact with an alien race.  Things start off well...and then go horribly wrong...Certainly not meant to be slash, but with enough alcohol I suppose anything's possible...
