Spock/Chapel Stories


Welcome to the first pairing I wrote in Trek. I love them, but I'm not always nice to them. This page is getting huge, as is the site, so I've reorganized it a bit. Sorted by theme, so depending on your mood, you can find what you want.


Banter

You need a pick me up? Something light and fun, without a lot of angst (I can't promise there will be no angst)? Try these:


Crossing the Desert (PG)   -   Response to a challenge to take the Archer-Tucker "crossing the desert/finding the hut" scene in Desert Crossing and rewrite it for your favorite pair.


Nowhere to Go, Nothing to Say (PG-13)   -   Because I had an urge to return to banter-heavy Spock/Chapel stuff.


Once Upon a Shore Leave (PG)   -   Missing the light-hearted Spock/Chapel fic? Longing for some sarcastic humor? Try this. It's got a mystery, a shore leave, romance, and lots of banter.


Romantic

You want something romantic, but aren't afraid of some angst along the way? Try these:


Emotional Rescue (PG-13)   -   Post-V'ger, Spock is ready to explore his emotions. Chapel only wants to run the other way.


Frostbite (PG-13)   -   A return to my roots with this one. Spock, sick of being twisted and darkened, asks Djinn for a story where he at least has the possibility of getting the girl. Blame this one on the February East Coast blizzard and iffy heat in my apartment.


Joining (R)   -   It takes time for 'with someone' to mean 'together.'


Nexus (PG-13)   -   Some events change lives forever.

In the Fullness of Time (R)   -   Sequel to Nexus. Healing will happen--in time.


They All Fall Down (PG-13)   -   Set sometime after the launch of the Enterprise B. Two people who've never connected find themselves hurting and in the same place.


Mildly Dark

You want something pretty dark, that puts these two through the ringer, but isn't afraid to at least try for the happy ending? Try these:


The Attraction of Falling Bodies (R)   -   Pon Farr, Spock, Chapel. Some fics come from a dark place.


Drowning in Shadows (R)   -   Sequel to The Attraction of Falling Bodies. How much can you take before too little becomes not enough?


Broken (PG-13)   -   When a friend is in trouble, you help.


Disinheriting the Meek (R)   -   Sometimes life isn't a fairy tale, and the meek don't inherit the earth. What happens then?


Fever Dreams (R)   -   Memory is a tricky thing. So's love.


Fevers Break (R)   -   Sequel to Fever Dreams, which has the potential to go many ways at the end. This is an exploration of one of the not-so-nice ways. If you like how Fever Dreams ended, best not read this.


The Needs of the Many (R)   -   It's an easy philosophy to quote, but to live by? Apologies in advance to any Kuk Sool Won practitioners--if facts are wrong, it's entirely my bad. Bits of hurt/comfort for those who like warnings of such things.


Shanghaied (R)   -   Be careful what you wish for.


Uses for Love (R)   -   It hurts when it's never about you.


Dark

You like it really dark, a little twisted? Try these:


Dream Until Your Dream Comes True (R)   -   What if you got the guy...and it wasn't good?


Excavating for a Mine (R)   -   Time away, in a new place, seems like the perfect way for Christine Chapel to recover from betrayal. But when Spock shows up for the same reason, it is not good. In fact, it's bad.


Not Central

You want something that has moments of Spock/Chapel, but doesn't have to be focused on them (or even, in some cases, give them the happy ending)? Try these:


Asunder (R)   -   How Spock went to Gol stories are out there in mass; I've done some of them myself and thought the muse was done with that theme. But I had some insight recently into what might have driven Spock away, and the muse insisted I write it down.


Passion is the Gale (R)   -   Kirk wanted a disfunctional story for him and Chapel. Spock was not interested in being relegated to the sidelines since stories from me are now fewer and farther between. It led to an interesting dynamic. This is a bit of an angstfest.


Safe Word (R)   -   The title should give it away. Written with the premise: "It's a flavorful treat but can you make a meal of it?" This is mostly Kirk/Chapel, but there's some Spock/Chapel (and some Spock/Uhura implied, if that's how you like it).


Experimental

You want something out there? Try these:


The Me You Never Knew (R)   -   Chapel wants to reminisce. But who is she talking to?


The Truth She Never Knew (R)   -   This is a sequel to "The Me You Never Knew." These characters wanted a little more time. I doubt this will make you like this Chapel any better.


Uneasy Alliances (R)   -   This is an experiment in nonlinear storytelling, and it is definitely different. It's set sometime after STVI and Generations. It was supposed to be a Spock/Chapel. Try it, you might like it.


Kirk/Spock/Chapel

You want some Kirk with your Spock/Chapel? Try these:


The "Three's Apparently Not a Crowd" Series


Forgotten (R)   -   Stranded and apparently forgotten on a frozen world, three crewmates learn to survive.


Remembered (R)   -   Sequel to Forgotten. What happens when you come back home?


Man and Man and Wife (R)   -   Our intrepid threesome explores a new frontier: getting married. With apologies to: "Father of the Bride," "The Wedding Planner," "Romancing the Stone," "Summer Lovers," and "Murphy's Romance." No weddings or wedding planners were harmed in the making of this story. The use of illegal substances is not encouraged. Professional fictional characters at work: Do Not Try This at Home.


And V'Ger Makes Four (R)   -   The threesome takes on Star Trek: The Motion Picture. This follows on the heels of "Man and Man and Wife."


Still Life in Triplicate (R)   -   Because life isn't always about the big moments. Sequel to "And V'Ger Makes Four."


Nearest Distant Shore (R)   -   Sometimes to get away from one thing, you'll reach for the next closest thing. This is Kirk-Chapel and Spock-Chapel,and there are so many other ways this could go, including a threesome, that I'm putting it here in case that squicks you, but I'm not promising that's where this goes. People are a bit angry here--or at least a couple of them


Under Duress (R)   -   This is a new Kirk/Spock/Chapel, unrelated to the ongoing series. I felt like twisting them in a new way.


Beloved (R)   -   This is a short sequel to Revenant and it's K/S/Ch for those who need a warning. But you don't have to have read the Occupations Series to get this. And really, this isn't in the same tense or the same tone or with the same POV character, so maybe it's better if you haven't read it? Suffice it to say, Kirk and Chapel are dead and living happily together when the story begins. This is for those who like their romances in threes.


Older Stuff

You've read all the other stuff, and you don't care if the story is maybe not as "crafted"? Then try these:


After the Madness (R)  (AU)   -   During and after Amok Time.     The burning is over. So what are these feelings Spock has for Christine?


An Accident of Diplomacy (PG-13)   (AU)   -   A routine diplomatic mission is anything but for Spock and Christine as wackiness ensues.


Banshee (PG-13)   (AU)   -   To tell you what this is, would be to give too much away. Suffice it to say it is weird and dark.


The Canon Series (for lack of a better name) -- These are my first Trek stories

Negotiations (PG)   -   Set some time after ST:TMP    Spock encounters Christine during trade negotiations with an alien race and they both discover that they've each changed ... in some interesting ways.

Transitions (PG-13)   -   Sequel to Negotiations     Now both assigned to Starfleet headquarters, Spock and Christine resume their courtship until something happens to tear them apart.

Devastation (PG-13)   -   Sequel to Transitions     Reunited after a prolonged separation, Spock and Christine plan their future together, unaware of the disaster that waits just ahead. Set as ST:TWoK starts.

Absolution (PG-13)   -   Sequel to Devastation     Set just before ST:TVH begins, Christine and Spock go their separate ways. Years later, after the Khittomer Accords are signed a reunion finally is possible.


Down to the Bone (PG-13)   -   A Pon Farr, a bonding, a rejection, and a disastrous loss. Is there anything left for Christine and Spock?


Extreme Unction (PG-13)   -   A sequel to Toxic and a bridge to the next story... To say more, well, why ruin such a weird little tale?


From the Sky (PG-13)   -   Christine survives a disastrous encounter with Spock, but finds that memories of him haunt her.


Never Leave (R)   -   Set sometime after the events in STVI, Christine has been tortured and no one can reach her but Spock is willing to try. Warning: Hurt/Comfort, this story deals with mature themes and real life issues.


Souls in Velvet Night (PG-13)   -   Sequel to "Extreme Unction" and "Toxic." Traces the life of Spock as we never really saw it through both his eyes and Christine's. But where is Christine? This is a different kind of story...prepare yourself for a bizarre, yet interesting, ride.


Time and Distance (R)   -   Every now and then, I get the yen to do a hurt/comfort story. So be warned, this is that sort. But it is also a look at what is, what isn't, and dreams that go on too long.


Toxic (PG-13)   -   After Platonius, Spock wants nothing to do with Christine, until a mission puts them together again, giving him a chance to get to know the real Christine. A darker view of the Spock-Chapel dynamic.


Challenges
