Telaka, who wrote Goodnight Enterprise an incredible read, references a fight between Archer and Trip. This is it!
--------------------------------------------------
Archer lay on his bed. His hot, sweaty body stuck to the sheets and Porthos didn’t assume his customary position on his stomach or curled into his side. Instead the dog settled in his bed, afraid to move closer to his master.
That wasn’t the only reason Archer wasn’t able to sleep. Staring at the ceiling in the dark of the room, the events of the day plagued his mind.
She could toss him in the brig as he awaited – for eons – a court-martial. He’d get busted back to Commander (if not worse) or tossed out of Starfleet and lose any respect he had … even as the “hero of the Expanse.” The moniker wasn’t important, but the dishonor he’d bring to his surname -- his father’s name -- was.
She could end their friendship; and there wasn’t right now any reason to maintain it. In all likelihood, she was furious with him – of course in her own Vulcan way. Things between the two would be strenuous for a while; maybe the damage would be...

T’Pol was livid, and it took great effort to stifle the emotion. It was a feeling absolutely foreign to her. She’d have to admit, she’d been mad before – poor decisions that had been made by the Vulcan High Command and occasionally a disagreement with the captain or the engineer. Her ire had been stuffed down and ignored every time through the most simple of Vulcan meditations. But, this went beyond all limits of understanding, which is why she felt it bubble inside of her, threatening to burst.
The captain, in a fury, threw punches at his friend and junior officer, without remorse, without regret … even without an explanation. It was the antithesis of the man she’d come to know; he seemed incapable of such a heinous act. It was unprofessional. Dangerous. Childish. Foolish. And she had every right to haul him down to the brig and keep him there because of it; it was regulations.

It had been a long day. The Kredarans, a race of people like the Tellarites – the kind that found everything objectionable - had requested assistance from Enterprise. Their ship was adrift, with their ruler onboard, and they were light years from their planet. Archer’s mission was to take them home.
Within five minutes of their arrival the complaints came in and made a beeline to Archer. The ship was too warm, the lights were too dim, the food was inedible, their bed wasn’t soft enough, the ship moved too quickly …. Every single problem made its way to him, and Starfleet ordered him to make the experience better for them. The Kredarans had too much influence in that quadrant and if the ruler of the planet was impressed, the aliens may help the newly formed interspecies alliance … the coalition that Samuels was leading.
