Detached Curiosity and Idle Speculation is a short story by the pseudonymous jespah.
The story is told from the perspective of Frank Todd, a MACO private on the Enterprise (NX-01).
The story is a direct sequel to In Between Days: Reflections Down a Corridor and is about two homosexual crewmen.
On January 14, 2154, Todd meets up with Stellar Cartographer Dave Constantine. The two men talk about the other version of the NX-01 that they have recently met, and comment on the fact that they ended up together. The story ends with a promise to begin a new relationship (ENT: "E2").
