author's note

Genre: Action/Adventure, Drama

Rated: PG … mild language, violence, and adult situations.

Summary: Two officers, believed killed in action, are stranded on a prewarp planet and must work together to survive while the rest of the NX-01 crew learn to carry on without them. Begins a very AU season 2.

This story is unrelated to my Endeavour series.

Disclaimer: The only thing I own are my hopes and dreams ... although I did pawn both a while back for rent money.

The awesome teaser trailer thing is by the always phenomenal Escriba.

Author's Note

This is a story totally unrelated to my Endeavour series and begins early in Enterprise Season 2, sometime after "Dead Stop" (the automated repair space station), but before the character assassinating "A Night In Sickbay." Everything after "Dead Stop" is either invalidated or fair game. Obviously, this story is a major AU as it was birthed from my musings on how one could use the Stranded! motif and tell an epic (hopefully) Star Trek story. There is action (it's me, after all), romance, adventure and hopefully a couple of surprises along the way.

As of chapter 125, this story is concluded.
