Author’s Notes: Written for the
loveathons Cupid Challenge. X-posted at
fic_from_mars and
veronicamarsfic. This is set in my This Alien Shore universe. It is AU from that fic, which is already AU - these events are not TAS “canon.” They will never happen in that fic’s actual plot progression. You may want to read the first chapter or so of that fic before reading this, but it certainly isn’t necessary to enjoying this one. Oh, and mad Trekkie shout-outs here. Behold my geekiness. Thanks to
queen_haq and
ladydisdain225 for the beta, and to
lex_83 for the linguistic assistance!
