PG-13, Star Trek XI, Pike; gen, 1000 words. (Another gapfiller).

The human mind simply wasn't built to fully grasp such an immensity of loss, to retain that much grief and still function properly.

Title: As Sparks Fly Upward

Author: Jedi Buttercup

Rating: PG-15

Disclaimer: The words are mine; the world is not.

Summary: A few months after the destruction of Vulcan, Captain Kirk accepts an unorthodox mission from Starfleet Intelligence that involves an incognito mission across the Neutral Zone to investigate rumors of kidnapped scientists. 28,700 words.

Warnings: Some violence; suggestion of past torture/rape of third parties.

Notes: ST:XI team-fic, slightly AU, from Kirk's POV with background canon pairing. Can be read with only that much Star Trek knowledge, but also includes plot/character details from several TOS episodes (including "The Conscience of the King" and "The Enterprise Incident") and authorized novels (especially "The Pandora Principle", "My Enemy, My Ally" and "Star Trek Academy: Collision Course"). NOT related to my missing scene fics.

Fic title from Job 5:7; chapter titles from Star Trek XI transcript; Romulan words from the Rihannsu to English dictionary.
