Shadow of the Beast
    TOS/AD
    Because of requests I've received, I am backtracking on 'Ancient Destroyer' just a bit and fleshing out this AU Enterprise/Federation just a bit more. The story's main focus will be Spock's 2281 departure from the Enterprise and its ramifications. The next chapter of AD, Chapter 11, will feature the origins of Ghidorah and his opposite number, The Doomsday Machine.  Also, a flat apology to those who advocate the use of stardates over the Old Earth Date. I've just never gotten the hang of it.

Y*AD: Away and Away
    PG13, for plain but not crude talking
    Y*AD, a series of stories set in or just before the Ghidoran Apocalypse of 2286
    Chauceresque Poem
    Enabran Tain, Toram Dukat, and AU versions of Jil Orra, Tora Ziyal, and Damar.
    Just after the final destruction of Vulcan by Ghidorah in C25 of 'Behold, The Ancient Destroyer!', circa July 2286
    Between the unceasing rampages of the dragon, King Ghidorah, and The Doomsday Machine, the only major world left is Earth, and both menaces are headed for Sector 001. Ironically, while both also bypassed The Cardassian Worlds, a systems-wide panic did their jobs for them. Now, less than 150,000 Cardassians remain, headed in Space Arks to Bajor, at the direction of Emissary Of The Prophets Enabran Tain. Bajor was saved by being relocated to another universe ( See 'The Funnel' and Kevin Johnston's 'Universal Constants' ). In its place sits a lifeless, 24th Century, Dominion-ravaged duplicate called 'The Ruined Garden' by The Prophets.
    Now, with The Tain and Kai Dukat aiding them in their learning, The Cardassians on Solar Sails begin to enter Bajor's outer system. But can even the best people from a corrupt, superstitious culture learn the more pragmatic beliefs of the people who were the First Chosen Of The Prophets? To coin a phrase, when ascending---what do you leave behind?
    Kudos to Laura Taylor, for her insights.

    Y*AD will be a series of stories, set in The Ancient Destroyer Universe, with the focus shifted somewhat away from the 'royalty' of the STU.

    Y*AD is a series that tries to take a more total look at the year 2286, as the Ghidoran Apocalypse unfolds.
June 2286, around the time of Vulcan's destruction
    The unnamed and unspoken crew of The Constitution-II Class, The USS Hood
    As brave as any high-profile crew, the men and women of The USS Hood serve in the finest tradition of Starfleet--and that makes all the difference. Even against the invincible Doomsday Machine.

Y*AD - Three Days Of The Dragon
    The beginning of The Ghidoran Apocalypse, February, 2286
    PG-13, for the effects of a deadly coup, and the bigoted feelings behind it
    When the forces of hate, tyranny, and reaction, living in their delusional little world, feel that they have waited long enough, let all who do not feel as they do be ready. For in this fight with evil, no quarter is asked, and none will be given.
