  1. Summary

    Aposematism in animals is designed to prevent attack. It doesn't always work, sometimes it's ineffective against some predators, sometimes it isn't. As a primary defence mechanism, Newt is a colourful individual with his blue coat and golden hair. His secondary defences aren't visible however and often are what surprise his opponents the most. Bright creatures tend to be very toxic to predators, but mammals like honey badgers are aggressively defensive. Newt is a Hufflepuff and the emblem of his house suits him well. Signalling theory tells you that Newt warns off predators and opponents with his colours, but when they don't take heed he'll show his claws and fight tooth-and-nail. It's what survivors do.

    And Newt Scamander is definitely a survivor.

    Summary

    Spock's mother will occasionally go out and offer her services to various Federation planets when she feels she can be of some assistance. His father says it’s her way of exercising her occasional bouts of emotionalism in a constructive and logical way. She claims that she is simply using the advantages she’s been given as an Ambassador’s wife for good.

    However when one of her good deeds brings a strange boy into his home, Spock isn't quite sure what to make of him. Worse still when he accidentally forms a bond with their temporary guest.

    Summary

    Someone, something, in the universe is bored. And don't the most interesting things happen when you're bored?

    -

    "Jim wishes he could do something about the eyes of respective disappointment and superiority that melt into his back, watching him walk away.

    Jim wishes that he didn’t run away from that fucking town square, and that he died with his aunt in the mud in the last place he felt any happiness.

    He wishes that his mother never fell for his stupid human father, who’s legacy he can’t seem to match up to."

    ~

    Cue a reimagining of Jim Kirk, Spock, Vulcans, and the events of the first movie. Lot's of pining, dumbassery, and angst (with a happy ending of course).

    Summary

    For the Tarsus IV fic challenge #29: I want to see Jim forced to relive Tarsus IV--but not just because some aliens were sadistic or whatever, but as a test--and I would love the reward to be one of two things 1) either Vulcan is restored or 2) Amanda is alive again. I'll make you wait til the end to see which one I picked. The title is taken from the OneRepublic song Marchin On

    Summary

    Jiang Cheng has enough on his plate between working for his mother’s influential law firm, solo parenting an eighth-grader, and rebuilding his physical stamina after a harrowing accident. The last thing he needs is an attractive new client showing blatant interest in him—even while still reeling from his own heartbreak.

    (Jiang Wanyin baits Lan Xichen out of seclusion with motorcycle rides and food.) (It's just for the lawsuit.) (...It's not just for the lawsuit.)
