Title: What Is Remembered
Author: SEF
Fandom: Star Trek AOS, Janet Kagan's Uhura's Song
Rating: Gen
Characters: Spock Prime, Evan Wilson, reboot cast
Word Count: 13000
Summary: Spock sends the young Enterprise crew off to end a plague while he contributes what he can to New Vulcan.

At Ao3.

Apologies if this is a stupid question. I've tried figuring it out from the usual sources and failed. From my reading, it appears that Spock Prime attempted to save Romulan worlds from the worst effects of a supernova in 2387 in TOS timelime. After moving through the black hole, he appears in the reboot timelime in 2258. (Nero preceded him there by 25 years.)

So...would I be right to conclude that the supernova has not yet occurred in the reboot, and Romulans are still there in great numbers?

(handwaving Romulan factions ATM)

Sequel to: The Desert Between
Summary: There are many hybrid children on the new Vulcan homeworld, including Spock and Nyota's children. Things don't always go smoothly.

AN: Vulcan words are taken/adapted from the Vulcan Language Dictionary. “mekh” means parent, I adapted it to mean “stepmother.”
“Jata” is a girl’s name in Kikuyu, it means “Star”

Easier

I just finished reading the Big Bang fic Adaptation by

ghiri_mai (gen, 44,451 words), and I enjoyed it a lot. It had good worldbuilding and imagined the impact of Vulcan's destruction and Nero on the Romulans and Vulcan rebuilding, and I was hooked even though it was mostly about original characters. (There were some typos still in the text that I noticed, and though it didn't have much of an impact on my enjoyment, as it wasn't a persistent homonym or apostrophe confusion, nitpicky readers might be bothered.)

Current Mood: insomniac

Title: The Light of Distant Skies

Rating/Wordcount: PG-13, ~13K
Warnings: scientific discussion related to conception/reproduction
Notes: A million thanks to my cowriter, the lovely

lindmere! We never would have finished this without being there to prop each other up. Much gratitude is also owed to our betas, the awesome

sail_aweigh and

shuuki_chan <3. This is the first in a series, so stay tuned for the next installment!

Summary/link: 16.45 years after Vulcan's destruction, the last light from Vulcan shines on an Earth on the verge of war, and on Starfleet officers facing decisions on whether to confront the enemy or seek out new life.

Title: The Desert Between

Characters: Nyota Uhura, Spock

Summary: “All Vulcans are constrained. By our biology, by our clans, by our whole society. But women more so than men, and offworlder women married to Vulcan men most of all.” Nyota loves Spock. But she can’t have him without taking Vulcan culture, too.
Note: the title is an adaption of The River Between by Ngugi Wa Thiong’o.

laurajv wants me to write a sequel; I may, but it probably won’t be any time soon.

( The most important thing for the Vulcans right now is the rebuilding of their culture and society, not the building of the new colony’s buildings. They named their new homeworld ‘rebirth,’ and that’s exactly what they want to happen. )

We have some terrific, thoughtful fills so far! I'm really pleased with the results.

1) Reach for Rejection, The Romulans offer the Vulcans aid.

2) Vulcan treasures from off-world get sent to the New Colony

3) Those Left Behind Sarek and Pike offer comfort to one another in the aftermath

And, not precisely what I was expecting to see as a fill, but have a recipe for plomeek soup!

This enterprise has so far proven most productive. Let us continue in our endeavor.

three weeks for dreamwidth

As a part of

three_weeks_for_dw, welcome to the first ever Vulcan Reforged kinkmeme.

How This Works

1) Comment anonymously with a prompt featuring either Vulcans or consequences from the destruction of Vulcan in the Star Trek: Reboot Universe. This can be gen or shippy, serious or funny. (Examples: A day in the life on the new Vulcan colony, the Vulcan people become space pirates, lots of Vulcans go into pon farr early since there's a population crisis, an Andorian cook stumbles on something that tastes almost exactly like plomeek soup and makes a fortune!)

2) Read other people's requests, and make them something to fulfill it: icons, fic, vids, art, filk, anonymous post card, whatever you got. Post it as a reply to the prompt which inspired you, anonymously or as yourself, your choice.

3) Wait three weeks from the time you fulfilled the prompt before you post it outside of Dreamwidth, but if you want to post it on your Dreamwidth journal sooner, that's fine.

4) Repeat until satisfied.

We all know Vulcans have elaborate family clan structures, right? And a lot of the survivors won't have any family left. I've been thinking about that, how they'll probably band together to form clans/families from whatever fragments are left, so a lot of clans won't survive even if there are survivors from the clan, because they'll just get absorbed.

I realized I'm thinking about this too much like a human. Vulcans live twice as long as we do; they probably have a fertile period twice as long, as well. Raise one batch of kids as children of one clan, and once they're out of the house, raise another batch of kids as children of the other. Bingo, both clans preserved, and you have a population explosion as well, which they need.

This community has been in a, um, healing trance for quite some time now. I thought that, for

three_weeks_for_dw, we might want to launch a "kink meme. Rather than sexual or even narrative kinks, the prompts would be various theories about what happened in the Reboot universe as a result of the destruction of Vulcan.

Have you read From The Terran Coyote to The Klingon K'Ortar: Tricksters of the Alpha and Beta Quadrants? If not, why not? One of the best stories in

treknovelfest, this story by

ljc is an "excerpt" from a scholarly manuscript that retells and explores Vulcan folk tales. It's a fascinating look, and it's wonderful. And now,

melannen has illustrated it! It's really cool!

War Games by Seperis

This immense (100k+ words) novel is a sequel to a Kirk/Spock Pon Farr story which is very good, but which I never rec'd here because, unusually, it doesn't have much to do with Vulcans.

This novel is great because it addresses the reconstruction of Vulcan, Vulcan xenophobia, Federation politics, it makes the Orions into real and interesting players on the Galactic stage, and considers how the Nerada incident has impacted relations with the Romulans. Highly recommended.

I'm participating in the

help_haiti auction, where the money raised goes towards the Haiti relief efforts. I'm donating a fic to the auction, and among the fandoms offered is Star Trek--AOS, TOS, TNG, and DS9, and I love Vulcans (if you want something related to Spock's World, my Enemy, My Ally, the Romulan Way, or the Vulcan Academy Murders, I'd think that was cool). (Gen or het, no slash, no explicit sex). Bidding is at ten dollars.

Summary: Though much is taken, some things remain.
Prompt:

treknovelfest 57--The Pandora Principle, Spock Prime & Saavik. Spock!Prime goes to rescue everyone a decade or so early.
Note: Pthak’sahaisau means “cast out fear” (thank you, Vulcan Language Dictionary) and refers to Surak’s writings: “Here is the first part of the secret: Cast out fear. There is no room for anything else until you cast out fear.” (Spock’s World, p. 312)

( Spock surveyed the cavern, the largest chamber on Thieurrull, which in Standard was Hellguard. )

Additionally, I have a question. Do Vulcans get drunk off alcohol? Do they have a hugely high tolerance, but some Romulan ale will crack it? Or does alcohol have no effect at all? Do they get drunk but never never show it because their self control is that good? Enquiring minds want to know!

Tonight I was watching a bunch of classic DS9 episodes, including "Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges". This community will be happy to know that there are lots of sehlats still in the universe, because Bashir's dossier includes the name of one of the Romulan's pet sehlats.

I don't know what I find more touching, the continued existence of sehlats or that the Romulans took their pets with them at the Time of Sundering.
