Beta(s): the eagle-eyed vellum and the queen of idea-bouncing jaune_chat
Note: This story is a sequel to We Have Loved the Stars Too Fondly…, my big bang entry from last year. I'd recommend reading that first, but there's a "previously on" at the top of this story's first part if you need it.
Summary: Chekov has recovered from a year spent in captivity after an away mission gone wrong; he’s repaired relationships with his friends and built a new love with a certain surly ship’s doctor. A new undercover mission could offer Chekov closure, but other crew members object to putting himself in danger again. Chekov knows he’s strong enough to face his fears, but can he convince those closest to him that this mission is worth the risk?

( Reach me down my Tycho Brahe, I would know him when we meet, When I share my later science, sitting humbly at his feet. )

Authors Notes: Thanks to redandglenda for catching my mistakes, vellum for not letting me get away with anything, and jaune_chat for everything always.Title quotation from The Old Astronomer to His Pupil by Sarah Williams. Written for startrekbigbang
Summary: More than anyone else on the Enterprise, Leonard McCoy knows that space is disease and danger wrapped in darkness and silence. As much as he’s seen in the two years since the Narada incident, he’s not prepared when a simple mission ends in the disappearance of a crewmember. The crew must adjust to the idea that one of their own may never come home.

( Chekov always found the most efficient course with ease, but the idea of the long way captured his attention and his imagination during many hours at the conn.  )
