The Beautiful Dark of Life | 11,445 words | BuckTommy Time-Travel

Buck wakes up to discover that Bobby Nash is alive. The reason? He's traveled in time – to March 17, just a month before Bobby's death. Convinced he’s been given a chance to change the future, Buck tries to make sense of a past that doesn’t quite fit and a present that feels increasingly fragile. Time, however, doesn’t bend easily. And some things refuse to stay in the past.

A demonstrator pounds away at the Berlin Wall as East Berlin border guards look on near the Brandenburg Gate on November 11, 1989.

Happy German Unity Day (Tag der Deutschen Einheit), 3 October, 2025. It has been 35 years since Germany reunited.

Will - Human, Secretly 1/4 romulan on his father's side, but he doesn't know it. Was taken by the borg at a young age, but through the help of his friends, he was rescued and deborged. Mike's face was the first face he saw when he woke up.

Mike - Human, 1/4 vulcan. Never upfront about his emotions but doesn't fully suppress them either, even if they are a little strong at times.

They love each other but there both idiots and emotions are hard.

Excerpt from a totally real fic:

Will: im confused, how do you feel about me?

Mike was hard to read at the best of times, in part due to his vulcan nature, but Mike was completely emotionless just before looking into Wills' eyes, then he suddenly lit up with joy.

Mike: i love you.... w..was that not clear?

It was not.

OMG IVE BEEN REFERENCED???. I AM PERCIEVED??? THATS UNREAL.

And basically yeah, Ireland is weird because geographically, the land mass/physical island is just called Ireland, but politically were comprised or NI (or Northern Ireland) which is still owned by the UK, and the ROI (or Republic Of Ireland) which is owned by what most people would consider "Ireland" the country. Most people who reference Ireland are taking about the ROI.

When people talk about Irish reunification, they're referring to the possibility of the whole island of ireland one day being owned by the ROI, including NI.
