Save a horse, ride a Karl

which one would you pick first? 😋

additional bonus question - which two together? 🥹

I just know in my heart that an Amok Time situation would never happen in the AOS universe simply because when Spock tells Kirk that it's Vuclan Biology and he needs to fuck or die Kirk would've jumped his ass right then and there

Agree. After seeing 09 I shipped mckirk only for over a year.

genuinely love how in 2009 some trekkie said no…. NO. enough is enough. spirk has had its time in the sun. it’s time for bones x jim to get their flowers!!!!!!

Trek novels when an alien race is talking to or about Bones: Makoi, Mack-koy, Makhoi, Ma-Koy, Makhoy

Me, clapping my hands in delight because I love that trope: Boy, I could sure go for some

Often times when reading AOS fics I'll get hit in the face by the fact that so many in the fandom don't understand what Kirk means by no-win scenarios. Too many times I'll see someone write Kirk as a person who will not accept any failure whatsoever because they've equated no-win with all-win or no-lose. That's not what Kirk's on about. He doesn't believe in no-win as in there will always be a silver lining or some type of win to a scenario no matter how bad the odds or failure. Even if the only thing you can say at the end is that you're alive - that's a win. The fact that the Kobayashi Maru kills everyone no matter what they do is what pisses him off so much, a character trait he does in fact share with TOS Kirk who also screwed with the test. So no, Jim doesn't consider Vulcan a no-win. He doesn't consider Khan and Marcus a no-win. He doesn't consider even saving Spock's life by breaking the prime directive and getting demoted a no-win. Because they were wins - some vulcans and Earth were saved, Khan was defeated, Starfleet saved, a Klingon war adverted and Spock is alive. So whenever a fic takes the "I sure hope Jim learned his lesson about no-win scenarios" route I want to bang my head against the wall because he didn't learn anything because there was nothing to learn. At most Kirk's just an arrogant ass who plays too much. He's 22-27 in the first two movies. He has zero experience. He'll grow out of that but not believing in no-win scenarios was something Spock needed to learn from Kirk - that you win some and lose some but at least you won some, not the other way around. Kirk can accept failure so long as it comes with even a minor success. Spock just immediately jumped to the conclusion that they had no hope against Nero alone and failed by never trying.

my fic for the Mcspirk Big Bang is finally here! This thing ended up being around 60k words long and I cannot believe I got it done! AOS, Academy Era, Meet Cute and Meet Ugly - it's got all the shenanigans you'd expect from these three dorks. PLUS Spock keeps pigeons. Need I say more?

I was absolutely blessed to have my buddy Nic @pityroadart /@existentialcrisistime as my artist, and he created some absolutely stunning paintings for this fic (such as this post's beautiful header). His skill is absolutely unmatched and I am just so lucky to have been paired with him.

SUMMARY

Summer just started, and Jim is bored out of his mind. The courses he needs to take aren’t being offered until the second half of the summer, so he has an entire month to bother his roommate Bones. At Bones’ suggestion to get a job, Jim fixes up a motorbike and starts making deliveries to people in town, including a cute Vulcan professor named Spock. But when Jim is beaten up while making a delivery, it’s Spock who delivers Jim back to the apartment he shares with Bones. After the meet-cute from hell, Spock and Bones start dating… and so do Jim and Spock. With neither roommate aware they’re both dating the same man, there’s only so long that things can go well for them before the other shoe finally drops.

Thanks a ton to @mcspirkevents for running this event and @affixjoy and @ncc1701ohno for betaing this behemoth. This is the longest thing I've written for Star Trek, and there's no way I would have caught everything on my own. Shout out also to all the cool people in the Mcspirk Events discord server, love you guys!

An AOS AU in which Spock never interrupts Kirk while he's dying in the warp core and 'because you are my friend' is never said. Instead Jim makes a confession that he doesn't expect to have to live with. When he wakes in the medway, he realises he's going to have to face the consequences.

Star Trek's crazy ass 28 day total runtime leaving everyone else in the shade

i have a billion other criticisms about star trek aos but the one thing i'll never forgive them for is taking away uhura's whimsy. tos uhura has such a bright & joyful presence she is kind and funny and artistic and cares about her looks WHILE ALSO being smart and badass and not afraid to speak her mind (especially in the movies. i love her). aos uhura is reduced to a one-dimensional #girlboss who takes no shit from anyone yet somehow lacks enough self-respect to stay in a boring & unsatisfying relationship with a man who is so obviously not attracted to women
