These are not all lies.

It was the night before Ruby was supposed to leave for New York, when Granny had her heart attack.

Erik had been warned, to be fair. The realtor was very explicit that the last seventeen tenants had run from the premises screaming about the Exorcist or The Ring or some other terrible horror show.

Spock met Jim when he was 7 and Jim was 6. It has since been generally agreed that this was a mistake (or: the one where they grow up together and things are simultaneously better and worse for it).

Jim's pretty sure he's got mutiny right now. He's got a lapful of mutiny.

Rumpelstiltskin really just wants a child.

Arthur stares at him. It's not the incredulous stare or the how-are-you-so-stupid stare or the Merlin,-sometimes-you-are-wise-and-it-unnerves-me stare.

It might, possibly, be the speak-quickly-or-I-will-kill-you stare.

As soon as it happens, Merlin knows it's going to be one of those up-against-the-wall things.

There was once boy Merlin came to the court to ensnare the prince in his grasp, for he was an evil wizard, determined to destroy all of Albion. He bated his time, and made the prince believe he was his friend, someone to be trusted until two Augusts after his arrival, the good King Uther Pendragon recognized that his son’s illness was related to the boy who never left his son’s side for a moment. When the evil wizard Merlin was burned, Prince Arthur emerged from confinement healthy and strong again.

Merlin is not the only one for whom words have power.

Arthur doesn’t come looking for Merlin. Gaius wouldn’t expect him to. Uther certainly never came looking for Gaius, and as far as Arthur is different from his father, he is still Crown Prince Arthur Pendragon.

He merely can see that, in the course of their years together, he and Nyota will part ways, and his way will merge with the captain's.

The five times Spock wasn't in love, and the one time he couldn't deny it anymore.

She thinks that maybe in another universe, one where ships don't come out of lightning storms in space, she would have had a brown-eyed, steadier child with a penchant for mischief, who would have been still clever but whom she could have sent off to Starfleet Academy knowing he would do both her and his father proud.

The answer is √π233/hy7. Has been for all three months of the first semester. Jim's not sure why the galaxy's best and brightest haven't realize that, but it's not his school, not his problem.

Merlin was raised by Druids, and Arthur pokes things with sticks.

Seven months into their five year stint aboard the Enterprise, Jim's meld with Ambassador Spock comes back to bite him in the ass.

Sarek does not always understand his son, but that does not mean he does not love him.

His name is George Samuel Kirk. And he's the only person in his family who has his shit together.

Frank Hallie never meant to be the wicked stepmother in the story.

Sam is always getting the praise and her smiles, but Jim gets her jokes—he's okay with that.

Spock's been played. He doesn't mind too much.

It's not the first time he's been a woman—after the first few dozen lifetimes Merlin stop caring which body he woke up in, and he rather likes this one. He's not married to the identity—never really has been, but when the Cold War heats up and Arthur is nowhere to be found, Merlin says, fuck it. She joins MI-5. Is 00 before any other woman before, and picks the code name M.

"T'Pring. I know that the bond makes you desire further closeness, but do not confuse loss of self with being close. You are T'Pring, he is Spock, and the two are joined, but not the same."

She's a press secretary, a PR manager; she's the one who keeps them on-message. She's the one who takes the make-shift bombs from Kirk's fingers.

When he was a kid, all Hikaru ever wanted was to fly.

When he says she got the planet in the divorce, he means it.

When he'd lost Jim, he'd thought that that would be the greatest death he would be forced to face; to endure.

If Amanda had to pick a word to describe Sarek, it would be "genuine," or maybe "surprising."

Chekov is growing up on a Starship. It's harder than you'd think.

The don't talk about his father, ever. He doesn't want to. But he'll talk about Jim, his genius younger brother who's too smart and too fast and somehow stuck where he is. There's adoration and guilt there—he left Jim, but staying would have killed him.

Spock will only ever be certain of one thing.

Spock gives her that look he sometimes gets like she's making him want to die, just a little. Commit Vulcan seppuku or something.

She grins, rolls her hips a little bit more as she walks and leans over his station (completely legitimately) to look at the readout.

This is what he gets for not looking at her when she first comes on shift.

Five Times Nick and Mia would've totally Done It had it not been for the fact that this is a kid's movie.

Detailing one of Amanda Grayson's first diplomatic assignments, which happens to be on the USS Kelvin.

Apparently Arthur's reaction to dropping acid is that he remembers.

Everything.

"James T Kirk," Jim says, and sticks his hands in his pockets because Vulcans don't shake hands, and he's pretty sure his fingers don't bend that way.

Scotty nods sagely. Then he realizes that he doesn't know what the thing is. He is gripped, nay... tightly gripped by the need to know. He leans forward and gazes earnestly at the captain.
