Title: To Fight For The One You Love
Pairing/Characters Khan Noonien Singh | John Harrison/Molly Hooper, OMCs, OFCs
Rating: Mature
Warnings/Tags: Graphic Violence
Summary Something is peculiar about his flatmate, Molly Hooper. In a new world where nearly everyone has a superhuman ability of some sort, Molly seems...different. And she arrives home early in the morning all beat up to Hell. What is she doing?
Khan is determined to find out.
*comes over with two Starbucks cups and hands you one then sits down* So, tell me about your AUs.
Well, since I have whittled down my WIPBB list to five, I will talk about the only actual AU I have there, which is a Treklock fic set in the world of a book series ("Harmony" by Jayne Castle). It's Khanolly and basically, this is a planet that people from Earth settled on ages ago where there are all these alien structures made out of glowing green material unknown to them, and they all developed powers, some of them being related to the green buildings.
Molly is a person who destroys ghosts in the green tombs (ghosts are energy beings that block certain pathways, and keep in mind, people have gotten lost in those tombs and died when running into ghosts). She's effectively immortal with super healing abilities. She does this job at night to run a clinic for the less fortunate in New London, and he clinic and home being ransacked is what brings her to the attention of one John Harrison, formerly known as Khan Noonien Singh.
John was one f the first settlers on Harmony but moved to New London for the looser rules on having lovers outside of being married to them. But most of his lovers are dead and gone now and it's been some time since he's had one. When Molly's home and clinic are destroyed, he takes her in as a roommate and starts falling for her from day one, but he wonders where the bruises on her body come from each morning as she bakes bread. When he figures out she's like him almost, being effectively immortal, he decides he'll do whatever it takes to protect her.
The first few chapters are up on AO3 at To Fight For The One You Love. The rest will be added later as I write them for WIP Big Bang.

So I decided I will write the series this is a part of out of order, and this is the bit where Molly helps Khan escape, throwing the events of STID into complete disarray and definitely going canon divergent.
Liberation (A “The Ends And The Means” Story) -Molly goes against Starfleet's orders to free Khan.

She really didn’t want to have to kill anyone, but if that was what it took for her to get him out of there, then that was what it took. She knew that there were super secret projects that John had been working on, but the discovery that the cryogenic chambers filled with people were going to be put into photon torpedoes...that was too much. She knew now that what he had said was true, all of it. Marcus was a danger and they needed to get to safety. Get his crew to safety.
And the only way to do that was to fight.
As much as there were overviews and secrecy in the labs, she’d managed to create two phasers in her own lab at home with parts she’d smuggled out of the lab. She was sure Marcus had been leery of her, knowing what was known about the past of Khan Noonien Singh. But it only further proved the truth, that Marcus was a man out for revenge on...well, the world. All over the destruction of the Starfleet armada all those years ago. If he drenched the universe in the blood of every Klingon and the blood of any other hostile alien races in the universe and beyond, so be it.
And she would play no part in that, nor would she allow John...Khan to be manipulated any further. She went to his cell and put in the code before opening it to his surprised face. “It’s time to run,” she said.
She expected him to argue, to ask what she was doing, but he simply nodded as he stood, came swiftly to her and kissed her with a passion no man she had kissed before had possessed. If her hands hadn’t been full she would have clung to him, but he took one phaser out of her hand and then pulled away, the heat still in his eyes. “Let’s go,” he said, moving around her to leave his cell, and she did what she knew she would always do: she followed.
Treklock, Sherlock as Spock, John as Kirk. Sherlock wasn't a normal Vulcan, everyone knew that. But it wasn't just his human mother that set him apart from Vulcan kind, it was his hair. Sherlock had curly hair. Having been religiously straightening it since he was young, Sherlock presents himself to the world as a regular Vulcan. But when on a mission on a humid planet, Captain Watson sees Sherlock’s hair start to curl and finds he likes it. He likes it very much.
Coming 4/20 for Miniseries April: “Sher Trek” Part 1
A four-part Sherlock / Star Trek fusion fic / miniseries begins at AO3 on Thursday, April 20 as part of falltvseasonsherlock.tumblr.com‘s Miniseries April. Episode 1:
Captain John Watson and Enterprise are ordered to Janus VI, where a series of mysterious killings have halted production of the vital mineral pergium. But Watson’s orders to get the mining facility up and running aren’t made any simpler by his brilliant new First Officer’s stubborn insistence that the deaths aren’t what they seem — or by the discovery of the attempted genocide of a hitherto unknown alien species. Watson must now risk his new command on the deductions of a regulations-averse Vulcan and the chance that if the humans in this situation won’t see sense, maybe the aliens will…
The first part of this four-part fic will be published at AO3 on Thursday, April 20, 2017. Parts 2, 3 and 4 will be published on April 27, May 4 and May 11: each new episode’s title and teaser will be revealed at the end of the episode preceding it.

It had to be John’s imagination that the air around them was getting hotter, stuffier. Not possible… at least not yet. But there was always the possibility that the facility’s reactor, already well along in the process of going supercritical, might decide to get ahead of itself and make a fool of his Chief Engineer… not to mention all the rest of them. It’ll poison half the planet, Vanderberg had said. John grimaced. But not before it melts this bit of it to superheated slag and blows everything else for kilometers around sky-high…
The predictable adrenaline-fueled shiver went down his back, but he had no time for it now. Vanderberg and the half-dozen or so of the mining facility’s people who’d elected to stay behind after the general evacuation were gathering around him in the tunnel now, waiting for orders.
“Right,” John said when he was clear that everyone they’d been waiting for was here. “Team up with the Enterprise security personnel—they're better armed than you. Keep someone in sight at all times.” He turned to the Janus VI facility chief. “Vanderberg, take two men. Go through that tunnel there.” John pointed. “Rendezvous with Commander Giotto and his security detail. Mr. Appel, and the rest of you men, go through there—” He indicated a different tunnel. “Link up with Lieutenant Osborne's group. Mr. Sh’lok and I will control the operation from a central point. That's all.”
Off the miners went in their various directions, leaving the Captain and Sh’lok alone in the dim corridor. John turned to his First Officer and saw him looking unusually still and intense: listening. “Mr. Sh’lok?
“Captain,” Sh’lok said softly, “we are being watched.”
John glanced around. “Are you sure?” he murmured. “Intuition?” Because who knows what senses he’s got that he doesn’t think to tell us about? Or know how to? Might as well call it that…
Sh’lok shook his head. “No, sir,” he said. “We’re being watched.”
When a Vulcan said something so nakedly declaratory, there was no option to take it as anything but fact. Together they started to make their way down the tunnel in which they stood.
Sh’lok had activated his tricorder and was checking it every fifty paces or so. After a few minutes he paused, several meters away from a spot in which their own tunnel forked. “Captain,” he said, “fresh readings within the hour.” He gestured right and left with his phaser. “In each of these tunnels.”
John nodded. “The chart says both of these tunnels converge a few thousand yards further. I’ll take the left. You take the right.”
“Should we separate?” Sh’lok said.
John gave him a resigned sort of Do we have a choice? look. “Two tunnels,” he said, “two of us…” He shrugged. “We separate.”
And John started down the left-hand tunnel. As he went he noted without comment the Vulcan’s briefly raised eyebrow, and walked steadily on as if he couldn’t hear that Sh’lok, watching him, didn’t move until John’s tunnel curved enough that he could no longer be seen.
His tunnel was one that had been cut by the miners through the softly glittering cobalt-shaded stone that characterized this part of the facility. Fairly quickly the miners’ work terminated in what would have been a dead end, but the tunnel continued onward along the same line in the form of one of the uncannily-perfect cylindrical tunnels that were also all through here. It was low, no more than a meter and a half high, and John had to get down and make his way along half-bent over.
Shortly, though, that tunnel came out into a wider space that looked like a small cavern or cavelet that natural forces had produced in the stone—one that showed few signs of the miners’ tools, with only an occasional piece of equipment discarded on the relatively smooth floor.
John straightened up again and moved cautiously into the space, looking around. His eye immediately fell on quite a few things that had nothing to do with the miners. He paused, pulled out his communicator; the chirp of it echoed. “Mr. Sh’lok—”
The reply was immediate. “Yes, Captain.”
“I’ve found a whole layer of these silicon nodules of yours,” John said, moving in among them. “Hundreds of them.” They lay scattered around the floor, some perched up on ledges, others piled up against the walls. John was intrigued by the variations in their colours; they weren’t all the soft mauve of the one in Vanderberg’s office, but ranged from pale pearly-white or dove-grey shades through deeper hues of rose or gold or soft green-blue.
“Indeed?” Sh’lok said. “I find that most illuminating, Captain. Be absolutely certain you do not damage any of them.”
He keeps saying things like that. And then not saying why! But John had been learning that this was one of Sh’lok’s quirks. Sometimes from uncertainty (not that he would ever admit that freely), sometimes from what looked like a secret pleasure in others’ reactions, Sh’lok would do everything he could to present a theory in its entirety rather than in half-assembled scraps. Right now, though, even scraps would be welcome! “Explain.”
“Only a theory I have—” Sh’lok said.
John was in the act of rolling his eyes (because by now he knew the sound of his stubborn Vulcan getting ready to stonewall him again) when his gaze caught something it might not have otherwise—something moving, something in the shadows of the cavern; and then something else tall and massive that was pitching toward him. Instantly John flung himself backwards out of its way, rolling aside as he did to avoid a few of the silicon nodules that he might have fallen on otherwise.
Not far from him, though, at the far side of the cavern things came down— one of the rough pillars that had supported that side of the low roof, toppling sideways and dislodging more chunks of rock from the walls nearby as it fell. Stones and rubble crashed and scattered deafeningly all around. Dust flew up in clouds.
“Captain,” said Sh’lok’s voice from the communicator, alarmed. “Are you all right?” And then, much more urgently: “John? John!”
Silence…
