Summary
Wei Wuxian grits his teeth, knowing he has no other choice. Not if it means Lan Zhan’s life. Besides, the Cloud Recesses has the best library and a long history of dealing with curses. It’s the most logical choice, even if he’d like to punch logic in the face right now.
“Wei Ying?” Lan Zhan asks.
He gives him a grim smile. “Looks like you’re finally getting your wish, Lan Zhan.”
Lan Zhan stares back at him, expression blank.
“I’m coming to Gusu with you.”
Or: Lan Wangji gets hit with a curse that requires Wei Wuxian to stay in close proximity at all times. Everything only gets more complicated from there.

Grief as a four-dimensional figure by Moreta1848

Summary
"One might arguably say it is not fully logical to care whether I cannot return to Vulcan because it no longer exists or because it is separated from me permanently in five-dimensional space.”
“No, I think I get it,” said Jim. “Like, I haven’t gone back to the old house in Iowa in years, but I do like knowing it’s there. If my mom sold it and it got knocked down, it would make a difference to me.”
The ambassador nodded. “Likewise, even in four-dimensional space, we are separated from the things we have lost only by distance—by the fact that we cannot easily travel along the timeline.” He marked out a section of his timeline, then a dot further back in the bottom timeline—Jim’s timeline. “My marriage is here. I am here, in a different timeline and at a different time. But my marriage exists. It is a figure in four-dimensional space which will continue to exist, in that sense, eternally. So long as the timeline does not collapse, it is a permanent part of history. So although I do not have my spouse with me, I know that he existed. That somewhere, in a time and a dimension I cannot go, we are meeting for the first time. That somewhere, I am asleep in his arms.”

Blooming in the Desert by ThereBeWhalesHere for lynn76

Summary
Spock has been assisting a new Vulcan colony in its agricultural efforts, but nothing will grow in the colony's desert. He seeks the advice of Dr. James Kirk, renowned botanist, at one of Kirk's lectures. But Spock's interest in Kirk quickly becomes personal, rather than professional.
Though the concept of "love at first sight" is deeply illogical, of course, Spock and Jim Kirk share an immediate connection, and it could change the trajectory of their lives.

Summary
“What is your purpose in denigrating me?” asked Spock.
The other man raised an eyebrow. “You may believe me or not, but I wish to help you. You are, after all, me, though a different incarnation of the same excellent qualities. It would be gratifying to send you back to your universe…improved.”
Spock lifted his chin. “A transformation into you would not be an improvement.”
“And yet, I have dominated you since you entered my room,” purred the duplicate, serenely. “You are uncomfortable. Maybe even afraid.”
“Fear is an emotion,” said Spock.
“That is as good as a confession, from you,” said his counterpart. “You fear me, maybe even envy me. I don’t know how things are in your universe, but I cannot imagine additional confidence would not be useful.” His hand trailed down the rank stripes on Spock’s sleeve. “I am first officer. You are not. But you could be.”
