Captain John Porter was never supposed to command a starship. A former sanitation officer with a talent for improvisation, bad habits, and worse judgment, Porter somehow finds himself in the center seat of the USS Horizon-a stripped-down Starfleet vessel running on trust, duct tape, and people who believe in him. The crew calls him John. Starfleet calls him unorthodox. The universe calls his bluff. As the Horizon explores deep space, Porter builds a ship culture unlike any other-punk rock holodeck shows, dangerous honesty, and a belief that rules exist to serve life, not the other way around. Alongside a young Vulcan science officer fascinated by humor, an old enlisted lifer who's seen too much, and a crew learning how to trust each other, John navigates threats both cosmic and ethical. Then they encounter a world they are forbidden to save. Faced with the ultimate test of the Prime Directive, John must decide what kind of captain he truly is-and what the cost of doing the right thing really means. A Star Trek-inspired sci-fi drama about leadership, found family, moral courage, and the noise we make before the universe goes silent. To any Star Trek experts out there. this is my first Star Trek story so comments and feedback are welcome but please be nice. it starts off weird but please stick with it.

Quinn Taylor has made a career out of looking calm. On the ice, she's America's favorite kind of pressure-proof-bright smile, steady answers, the skater everyone wants to root for. Off the ice, she's an only child with a perfectionist's brain and a habit of carrying too much alone. The cameras love her. The country expects her. And the one place she can't afford to fall apart is the one place she's dreamed of since she was little. The Olympics. Macklin Celebrini has always made things feel lighter. He was the new kid at a Northern California rink at twelve-Canadian, polite, a little lost-until Quinn decided he was hers to keep. He became her best friend in the cold air and early mornings, the person who could make her laugh mid-breakdown and never ask her to perform for him. Then life did what life does: seasons changed, schedules got brutal, distance widened, and the kind of friendship that felt unbreakable turned into occasional texts and quiet missing. Now they're both back where the world is loudest. At the 2026 Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics, Quinn is chasing the skate of her life for Team USA. Mack is carrying his own weight for Team Canada hockey. When reporters find out they grew up together, the story writes itself-childhood friends reunited, smiles caught on camera, a thousand strangers deciding what they are to each other. The only problem is... the strangers aren't entirely wrong. Between past chapters at a small California rink and present days in the Olympic Village, Quinn and Mack have to figure out what they really meant to each other then-and what they're allowed to be now, with medals on the line and the whole world watching. Because it's one thing to love someone quietly from a distance. It's another to have them show up in your life again and make everything feel possible.
