    Jim and Spock are both prisoners on a technologically advanced (but somehow old-timey) planet, trying to figure out how to escape. Their proximity in their cell makes it difficult to ignore their growing attraction. Archive warning for brief depictions of violence.

    Title inspired by the song "Barely Breathing" by Duncan Sheik.

    Summary

    "'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.

    Summary

    Nines carefully accepted the Detective’s mug, emotions running amuck below his stony exterior. He concludes that perhaps an irrational action will make Reed learn that he’s not to be treated like a machine.

    So he ate the mug.

    Summary

    You're trying to teach yourself to become a liability, a little voice whispers. It gets louder on the good days, when he's trying to convince himself that they can last. It's always there, always reminding him of how the world will view him if they learn he's sick, that he will never 'get better'.

    Niles pushes everyone away, afraid of the pain and too proud to be perceived weak. Gavin pushes back.
