Starfleet was supposed to be a fresh start for them and to do so they must confront their past, their losses, and the lies they've told. The born leader, the brilliant doctor, and the sharp-witted strategist must prove themselves as their adventures begin. [OC/Leonard McCoy]

*As featured on the official Sherlock reading list* The daughter of a wealthy Australian diplomat, Celestia Firethorne has fled to London to avoid her family's high expectations and a client turned stalker. When she comes across the long empty 221c on Baker Street, she has no choice but to turn to the notorious Sherlock Holmes. With a new villain on the loose, anything could happen. Riddles, ciphers, murders... This culprit will stop at nothing to make his point clear.

“Love is a psychological and physiological phenomenon, made of synapses and hormones, endorphins and dopamine receptors, pheromones, experiences, commonalities, mutual attraction. Not the muscle of the heart. Inexact metaphor. Designed for poetry, not accuracy.” First person, present tense story told from Sherlock's point of view. Written in early 2011, prior to series 2.

I'm not addicted to drugs or alcohol, I'm just addicted to escaping reality.

Once upon a time, There was a girl who believed. She opened her window for the boy made of stars, And the boy took hold of her heart.

To me, Peter Pan always seemed like he can get any girl's interest. After meeting him for the first time, I have decided that my fate didn't belong to him. Peter, untainted by my rejection, took it as a challenge. A game, if you prefer. 10 days for me to fall in love with him which meant 10 days for him to prove himself to me. If I didn't reveal any feelings towards him by then, I was granted access off the island. But if I caved in to him, I, Amber Hawthorne, would never leave Neverland ever again. One problem, everyone knows that Peter Pan never fails. {FINISHED, BUT EDITING}

It's 1976, and the Wizarding World is changing in the blink of an eye. Finally free from silence, Lark Riddle doesn't know what to do with herself. Her older brother, Tom, is breathing down her neck from hundreds of miles away every moment, and she just might snap under the pressure. With a mother who birthed her into the worst-case-scenario and a father who has yet to be discovered, she feels as though there's no longer a net to fall into if she crumbles to the ground...because she's never felt love, and has a sneaking suspicion that she may be unable to. She's left her old friends, Severus Snape and the notorious Black sisters in her wake, and has yet to move on to bigger, brighter prospects: the Marauders. Sirius Black has more than enough on his shoulders. While he makes every move he can to stay away from his psychotic ex-family and their allies, rumor has it that there's a war on, and he'll be playing a bigger part in it than he expected. Though this talk of fighting and standing up for what's right is all so thrilling, he has a life, a reputation, and an education to uphold (and all three seem to be plummeting to certain doom at terminal velocity). Lark knows what it's like: feeling alone and living in a world of darkness where the only light is the hope that she can provide for herself, whether it's real or not, and chances are that she may be the only person who will ever make him feel the way that he does when he's around her. *ALL RIGHTS GO TO JK ROWLING; I DO NOT OWN HARRY POTTER. Note: In A Blink is the sequel to When She Spoke, which is highly advised that you read beforehand.
