LEGENDS 5

With a gorgeous full-color Suzan Lovett cover, this K/S zine has some
amazing tales:

"In The Jungle" by Mary Kay -- On a mission to raid and destroy a Romulan
base, Kirk and Spock meet up with a local mercenary, someone Kirk once knew.
Someone who'd like to know Kirk again. As a result, Spock has a run-in with
the unpleasant, most unVulan emotion of jealousy.

"Turbo Talk" by Khiori -- When a turbolift malfunctions, conversation
between the trapped captain and a young ensign seems to reveal more than is
actually being said.

"We All Need Someone" by Mary Kay - Ill-tempered and angry, Kirk has been
acting more like a wounded bear than a Starfleet captain. It takes a good -
brave - friend to get to the bottom of where the problem lies.

"The Flare-Up" by Jean Marie Sosa -- Lovingly bonded, Kirk and Spock face
difficult storms, both professionally and, on occasion, personally. One
time in particular.

"The Human Factor" by Deborah Cummins -- Following the fal-tor-pan, Spock
finds himself in great upheaval. Everything is alien and unknown, seemingly
unknowable. Questions plague him: who is he as a Vulcan, what does it even
mean to be Vulcan? Who are these people, these humans who call him friend?
But the most difficult task of all is learning how to once again be Spock.

"A Matter of Trust" by Mary Kay -- Kirk and Spock are just beginning a more
intimate relationship when an assignment takes them to a planet run by
women, testing Spock's ability to trust his new partner when Kirk's previous
reputation becomes an issue.

"Two Words" by Catalena Mara -- Based on Barbara Hambly's pro Trek novel,
"Ishmael," this story tells of what happens once Spock is returned to his
timeline from 1870s Seattle, Washington. How has his time in Earth's past
with Aaron Stemple and the rest of the characters from "Here Come The
Brides" changed him? What has he learned? What has he gained?

HAIL ATLANTIS 2

In this slash McShep zine, Sian has written four A/U tales that
explore John and Rodney's journey, from first blush to established
relationship and beyond, and you won't want to miss a word!

"You Don't Get a Second Chance to Make a First Impression" - Rodney is not
the only one to find out he's on the 1996 Nobel Prize short list.

"Quantum Entanglement" - What happens when a quantum mirror is broken? How
many universes and years of bad luck is that?

"Anallagmatic" - John Sheppard and Jeannie McKay got married so that she
could stay in the country and John's Air Force superiors wouldn't find out
he was gay. But the marriage hadn't lasted and he hadn't heard from her in
more than three years - until tonight. A 3:00 a.m. phone call from Jeannie
sends John in search of her missing little brother, Rodney, who, along with
his boss, Dr. Elizabeth Weir, had disappeared from something called the
Asgard Institute. Will John find Rodney in time? Will Rodney be ungrateful
and snide if he does? Yeah, sure, you betcha!

"Live Free and Die" - In a re-writing of the fourth "Die Hard" movie, Sian
pits John and Rodney against time and a terrorist organization who is
threatening to systematically take down the United States' computer
infrastructure over the July 4th holiday. Detective John Sheppard and
genius computer hacker Rodney McKay must get past their obvious distrust of
one another and work together to stop the terrorists from shutting down air
traffic towers, hospitals, traffic signals, banks, the TMZ website and all
of the millions of things that rely upon computers to function. Will they
succeed or will life as we know it come to a grinding halt?

could have ever imagined. Now, infected with alien organisms that go
dormant in the presense of Jack O'Neill, and cause Daniel agonizing pain
when he and Jack are apart, the unlikely and impossible couple must face
their fears and their inhibitions to save Daniel's life. Can Jack put aside
a lifetime of military conditioning to do what needs to be done to save his
friend, even at the expense of his career? And will Daniel be able to come
to terms with his painful past in order to survive? On a journey to become
a man respected by others, will the Amadeus Effect make or break Dr. Daniel
Jackson?

FACING WHAT CONSUMES YOU

In this gen A/U novel by IMTheresa, though set early in season four,
John is alive and active in the brothers' lives. He's not exactly as he was
before, however. Having found a way to defeat Azazel, John prefers the
quiet life he's made for himself in a town where he has friends and a
thriving business. He's still a source of information to hunters, and he'll
always come to the aid of his sons, but he wants peace and the chance to
finally be a father to his children.

As for Sam and Dean, they have to face their feelings about their
father. Sam, who for so long butted heads with John, just wants harmony in
the family. Dean, the former mediator, is struggling with the new
relationship.

On top of all that is the trauma of a case that lands at the feet of
the Winchesters. It's a job involving the children of John's adopted
hometown, a situation that brings up painful memories for Dean and forces
John to walk a fine line between being a hunter and a concerned citizen.
Don't miss this fantastic novel!
