Claire Gabriel's Quartet Plus Two on AO3
What a pleasure to see ![[archiveofourown.org profile]](https://p.dreamwidth.org/b164c54b26e4/-/archiveofourown.org/favicon.ico)
cgabriel's collection of TOS short stories, Quartet Plus Two, posted to AO3.
The work isn't a standalone novel, as the single chaptered posting might suggest, but rather a collection of separate stories, backstories, and side stories about Sarek, Amanda, Spock, and Kirk, with significant appearances by others (including an alien OC whom I'd love to see again). The last story in the collection is "The Thousandth Man," which was published in Star Trek: The New Voyages--in substantially different form--as "Ni Var."
As I said in my comment on AO3, I hope that eventually Claire's other two TOS works--"Home Before Home" and "The Porcelain of Twilight," both of which are set in the Simple Gifts universe--will also be made available.
Claire's writing is outstanding on every level.

Rereading these classic stories (and indeed all of Claire's works on AO3) makes me appreciate our pathbreaking fanfic foremothers all over again.
