Chapter Notes: This chapter is a touch shorter than I've been going for recently, and it's also angst central. However! This should wrap up the majority of the heavy angst and start leading us toward the ending. Translations for Spock's babbling can be found at the end of the chapter. Also, my life has stopped going crazy, so updates shouldn't be as sporadic as they were in May. My thanks to everyone who has stuck with me during the craziness and still been kind enough to leave feedback. You have no idea how each and every comment brightens my day. This is the best fandom ever. :)

Chapter Notes: I know I managed to write this update fairly quickly after the last one, but my life will continue to go bonkers next week so I may not finish another one for a little while. The ending of this is looming over the horizon, but rest assured that I have an idea for a oneshot sequel in mind when it's done. The beginning of the end is nigh, though. :)

Chapter Notes: Lots of melodrama again, but I think things will start to look up more often from here. Additionally, my life's about to go a bit bonkers so updates will be a little more spaced out for awhile.
