Summary: TSN + Star Trek AU. Eight years ago, Eduardo was captain of the USS Palo Alto and Mark was his second-in-command. Between then and now, Mark got Eduardo removed from duty and led the Palo Alto to fame and fortune; Eduardo ended up teaching Ethics at Starfleet. Mark shows up in his classroom one day and it might just be time to bury the hatchet.
Notes: I considered not even posting this. I don't know what this business is. I tried to stay anonymous while I was writing it on the tsn_kinkmeme, but I am apparently incapable of remembering things like pressing the "anonymous" button every time and whatnot. (I'm doing much better with the other two WIPs I have going there.) So don't judge me too harshly by this.

I was going to give this a whole adventurous side-plot about Eduardo having to take over the Palo Alto for some plot-heavy reason and then realize that he didn't actually want to be a captain anyway and then more plot for more plottiness...and then I wrote a Super Fluffy epilogue instead. So. There you go. But I ended up coming up with VERY intricate and plotty backstory for this fic, which is something I don't usually do. Go figure.

Oh, and the title comes from the song "How I Could Just Kill A Man."
