(2228) - Six year old Montgomery Scott has already learned a few lessons, and one of those is simple: "People leave. Even when you don't want them to." Not quite his POV, not quite apart from it.
(2232) - Prompted by my friend RenArcher; Spock, McCoy and Scott meet as children. Kinda. Probably not what she had in mind (given the age gaps between them), but hey. Of course, none of the involved parties know each other.
(2234) - Yes, it's gritty. No, it doesn't explain itself; it's not supposed to yet. It just is.
(2237 - 2238) - A look at Scotty from fifteen through sixteen; how he gets into the idea of testing the Perera Field Theory mentioned in the novel Kobayashi Maru, as well as how he eventually gets the notion to go into Starfleet, all from the point of view of someone who has more in common with him than just a few coincidental traits. And how that person eventually comes to terms with the connection.
(2240) - Trapped between going and staying; how can life be one long sprint just to survive it? Takes place about a year after Junkyard Dogs.
(2240) - Processing for Basic Training; a sort of absurd look at some of the policies and procedures that are in place to handle hundreds and hundreds of new recruits, all from the perspective of someone in way over his head.
(2240) - The second 'Basic Training' tale; two months in, Scott starts figuring out a few things. Like what freedom is, when you've earned it rather than gained it by apathy, and what it is to be just a little bit defiant against what was demanded or expected of you. Last of this set.
