Summary:
2270. Nearly ten years ago, Gabriel Lorca returned from the mirror universe to a home that wasn’t really his anymore. With no ship, no rank, no reputation, no Kat - and no hope of ever finding out what happened to her - he’s ready to let Starfleet help him to disappear.
But it’s hard to move on when you don’t know what you’re moving on from. So when he stumbles on a chance to uncover the truth about what happened to the people he loved, Gabriel finds himself teaming up with a very unlikely partner for one last, deeply unofficial, mission.

Chapter 2! Does Gabriel learn all the answers to his questions? No. Does he at least have a nice time while he searches for them? Also no.
(Sorry, Gabe.)

Chapter 10! Snark! Sand! Secrets!

Chapter eleven! In which Gabriel has a lot of feelings all at the same time and would really rather not, thank you very much.

Additional Tags: Slow Burn, spying hijinks (spyjinks?), not so much ‘mutual pining’ as ‘mutual terror of accidentally having an emotion’, the grumpy one falls for the … other grumpy one?, there was only one shuttle, vehement denial of feelings, communication via fortune cookies, questionable interplanetary diplomacy, questionable science, unhealthy levels of coffee consumption, gratuitous descriptions of telepathy, fixing the injustice of erasing Discovery from history one poorly thought out escapade at a time
Series: Part 2 of Last Resort
Summary:
2271. Gabriel never intended to swap one set of secrets for another, but if there’s one thing he’s learned, it’s that life has a way of surprising you.
Una doesn’t want a partner - especially not on a mission that threatens to bring back bad memories. And yet, somehow, she’s ended up stuck with both.
But with Section 31 closing in and time running out, Gabriel, Una and the Network have to pin their hopes on a risky plan that could finally provide them with the breakthrough they need. Assuming, of course, that it doesn’t bring everything crashing down in the process.
Sequel to Lost Cause.

Chapter ten! In which Una doesn’t have a plan, Gabriel doesn’t have a shirt, and neither of them have a clue (aka, (Fifty-)Five Times Una and Gabriel Didn’t Kiss)

Chapter 19! In which a telepathic link isn’t the same as being able to read someone’s mind, social distancing on a spaceship proves difficult, and being respectful of boundaries is both a love language and honestly kind of a problem.

Day seven: Where is Katrina Cornwell right now?
tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow
Emperor Georgiou has a business proposal for Kat.
Unfortunately, she also has a lousy sense of timing.
For today's prompt, it's a new fic! Kat's no stranger to a career change. She's already gone from psychiatrist to Admiral, and in tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow, a new job offer makes her reconsider the future. And the past. And ... time as a concept, really.

(Hey, it was only an 8-month gap between chapters this time!)
Chapter 23! The penultimate instalment, in which Una and Gabriel somehow get away with it.
I spent four years making two characters who've never even met in canon kiss and I'm absurdly proud of it.
