I saw this link today on slashdot by SciFi author Charles Stross entitled Why I Hate Star Trek. He references a video in which Star Trek writer/producer Roger Moore talks about how they added technobabble to Star Trek scripts for the sole purpose of furthering the plot.

Title: Eyes
Characters/Pairings: Sarek/Amanda
Rating: G
Disclaimer: I don’t own anything
Summary: Amanda finds her associate a bit strange
A/N: I was intrigued by the description of how you know a Vulcan is into you, as imagined by brightfame in this episode of her excellent Cygnus Beta series. I wanted to see this happening between Sarek and Amanda, without Amanda realizing it yet. Thank you wyntreaurora for beta'ing!!

His eyes were like lasers. It was... unsettling.
I never really learned how to cook *real* (non-dessert or bread) food until I got married and had a reason to sit down and eat with someone on a daily basis. Before that, I would cook from time to time, but it was always a crapshoot. I had maybe a 30% success rate. At some point, while trying to build a repertoire of meals, I ran into this site: Simply Recipes. It was a godsend. When I follow recipes from this site, my success rate is closer to 80% or 90%. 
Nyota tread numbly through the hallways, intent on hiding out in her room. This was all... too much.
"Nyota! There you are!" Lieutenant Hassan called out to her. She was not in the mood to socialize.
"Hey Bob," she replied flatly.
"I'm taking off tomorrow morning. Do you and Spock wanna catch a bite in the mess hall?"
"No thanks," Nyota responded indignantly. The last thing she wanted to do right now was see Spock or Spock's old roommate.

This is going to be awkward, Christine thought to herself as she sat at the opposite end of the couch.
After an uncomfortable silence, Christine gazed at Nyota earnestly, "I just.. want to say that.. you are my friend, I care about you, and I never meant to hurt you."

Nyota wandered aimlessly through the hallways. Where do I go? What do I do? She thought to herself, as her world crumbled around her. How could she begin to deal with this emotional overload? Perhaps she should try the meditation techniques she'd learned from Spock... Spock.
She knew his shift would be ending within the hour. The only way she could make sense of this was by confronting Spock. Besides.. maybe it wasn't true. How could it be? Why would he ever keep something like this from her, as she worked alongside and befriended his supposed ex… fling? girlfriend? There had to be a reasonable explanation.

Title: The Secret (1/4)
Characters/Pairings: Spock/Uhura
Rating: PG

Summary: Nyota finds out about something Spock neglected to mention...
A/N: Thank you to the magnificent mirandariver (author of NAR) who beta'd this story. I made LOTS of changes afterwards, so any bad writing/characterization is purely my responsibility.
“Geez, Spock! How long has it been since graduation?” his old roommate wondered, “Five, six years?”
“It has been five years and four months since our commencement ceremony,” he replied.
Although Robert Hassan had roomed with Spock for all four years of their Starfleet training, they hadn’t kept in touch since. Lieutenant Hassan ’s temporary visit to the Enterprise afforded the two schoolmates a chance to catch up.
"It is good to see you again, Bob." Spock remarked.
Bob sensed that Spock had changed for the better since their time in school. He seemed.. warmer, somehow. More open. The two of them had never been extremely close, but you learn a lot about someone when you live with them for that long, and he liked the changes he was seeing.
“Why don’t we meet for lunch after my rotation?” Lieutenant Hassan offered.
“That would be satisfactory,” he replied.
