There has been a Pon Farr outbreak on New Vulcan. Sarek goes to investigate but is trapped on an uninhabited planet with Winona Kirk just as he begins Pon Farr himself. Spock and Jim save their parents, only to discover that they are now stepbrothers. Dealing with the outbreak, their parents' new relationship, and their own friends-with-benefits relationship will challenge both of them.

In Progress. K/S, but slow-building. A misshap brings the Enterprise back to Earth for a while.

"'Spock,' Jim breathes out, completely overwhelmed by the gesture—not quite believing that Spock knows him so well, that's he's already started researching, that he trusts Jim with a member of his own endangered species." When Jim gets it in his head to adopt an eight year old Vulcan, Spock presents a logical solution to the issue of Jim's humanity: marriage to a Vulcan citizen.
