Another story in the Star Trek: Beyond series. Jim Kirk returns from the Nexus a changed man. Will the continuing lure of that fantasy world prove too much for him?

This was written for the December Family challenge and hearkens to a scene in one of the TOS movies.  Not the one you'd expect from me, I'll wager. ;-)

Spock knows what must be done, but even knowing that his choice will save Jim and countless others, he is struggling to face it. He is drowning in pain, grief, guilt, and exhaustion, until at his lowest point, Christine knocks on his door and asks him for one simple gift.

This story is a missing moment from Li'l Black Dog's shattering story, Six Degrees of Separation. It would help a lot to read that one first. http://www.adastrafanfic.com/viewstory.php?sid=781. It takes place at the end of the five year mission, and explains the distant relationship between Kirk, Spock, and McCoy at the beginning of The Motion Picture.

Maren O'Connor has other commitments. 

Personal Logs is a series of short stories from the point of view of the Explorer's crew commenting on events in their lives.  

What if you could bend time, or at least could see where others had bent it?

This is a collection of stories which take place within the Times of the HG Wells universe (a sequel universe to In Between Days), or have something to do with any of the principals in that series, or their counterparts. The principals are: canon character Temporal Agent Richard Daniels, HD Avery, Daniel Beauchaine, Sheilagh Bernstein, Branch Borodin, Admiral Carmen Calavicci, Dr. Marisol Castillo, Levi Cavendish, Otra D’Angelo, Thomas Grant, Deirdre Katzman, Kevin O’Connor, Polly Porter, Crystal Sherwood and Dr. Boris Yarin.

The works are in chronological order by their main time periods. Longer books, including prequels (even works from In Between Days if they are also within the HG Wells universe) and the eight big books, are listed chronologically with teaser copy and dates, but only with a link to where a book is already posted.

The eight main books are divided into three sections: Section I is called Repairs, and contains A Long, Long Time Ago; Ohio and You Mixed-Up Siciliano. Section II is called Complications and contains Spring Thaw and Where the Wind Comes Sweepin’ Down the Plain. Section III is called Unravelings and contains The Point is Probably Moot; Shake Your Body and He Stays a Stranger.

Times of the HG Wells refers to the voyages of that time ship and the general workings of the 31st and 32nd century Temporal Integrity Commission. The structure of the eight big books is meant to be a serial evocative of the season-long canon ENT Xindi arc, where all of the stories were interrelated. 

As always, I thank you for reading, reviewing and inspiring.

What if you could see before and after canon, and fill in the blanks?

The In Between Days universe follows six principals in that series, and their counterparts, as the Enterprise NX-01 travels the galaxy and its preliminaries and aftermath are also shown. The six principals are: Leonora (Norri) Digiorno, Douglas JH Beckett, Dr. Pamela Hudson, Melissa Madden, Charlotte Lilienne O’Day and canon character Malcolm Reed. The longer books are listed in chronological order, with teaser copy and dates, but only with a link to where a book is already posted.

The title In Between Days refers not only to a Cure song of that name, but also the time period roughly between the Terra Prime/Mirror Universe episodes on ENT and the These Are the Voyages episode which ended that series. 

As always, I thank you for reading, reviewing and inspiring.
