#ST: AOS

[zenosanalytic]

You can really tell how transgressive TOS Kirk and Spock's relationship is from the reflexive need of contemporary "remakes" to inject antagonism into it.

That friction and contention just flat-out isn't there in the original. Jim and Spock are just always listening to one another, and trying to understand each other(often succeeding), and admiring one another, and that makes SO MANY straight men deeply, Deeply Nervous.

Fanbinding: Atlas, by @distractedkat

(pls click photos for better quality)

Between what was and what will be stands James Tiberius Kirk, in all his fractured patchwork glory. Because saving the Federation was only the beginning.

This fic has been on my to-do list for a long time, and serendipitously got pushed up for me to do RIGHT NOW because I needed a fic I could use to demonstrate layering boards for cutouts for a class @pleasantboatpress and I taught for Binderary. @finalfrontierpublishing had a great typeset, so I rushed to get the text ready enough for the class demo that I could start the cover... and then things got out of hand. Whoops.

I started with a basic circle cutout for the globe, which then grew a secondary layer for me to sandwich copper wires into. Atlas got printed onto marbled paper and added in on top. Then I developed a plan to have the moon-earth orbits, etc on the cover...

...and I needed a sun & I had this awesome paper I decided to use for endpapers, so we get a stupid complicated paper inset too...

...and I had been meaning to try out French double core endbands so why not do those in the colors of the earth from space...

Annnnnd then I was going to a box-making class & this is the kind of delicate that kinda needs one. so. here we are!

bonus: that art peep in the background is a super awesome metal print by @natureintheory

bonus bonus: cutting out the sun, and the cardstock layer goes under the bookcloth to create the indents that the pieces of the sun fit into like a puzzle

materials notes: colibri uran bookcloth, extremely delicate handmade Japanese paper for endpapers (did an adapted form of made endpapers) that i think? is from Itoya?, marbled jute paper for Atlas + globe, copper wire, copper acrylic ink for the edge, silver + rose gold foil applied with handheld foil quill pen, japanese hand-sewing silk for endbands.

Looking for two Star Trek fics. These are years old by now. I think both are on AO3, but I'm not sure about the long one.

First one is a long fic set in AOS, where Kirk convinces Spock Prime to share what he knows about events in his world. I don't remember the beginning but it did "rewrite" a few TOS episodes for AOS. It stops in the middle of the fried egg aliens, aka Operation Annihilate. I'm pretty sure this one is on AO3, but it might have been originally posted elsewhere and ported.

Second is Bones swapping back and forth with himself between TOS and AOS, it's consciousness swapping and not body swapping. I think it was caused by flying through some anomaly, but they don't figure that out until the end. I think this one was a short one shot. Almost certain it's on AO3.

Scotty being upset that they put him at a remote outpost for losing porthos during one of his experiments is so funny bc my brother in christ, you should have died for that.

The difference in Bones vogue lab coats

—

AOS has a blueish white to match the more vibrant blue of the science/medical blue

TOS has a greyish white to match the dulled colors from the TV
