#Star Trek Fanfiction

[spirk-fic-recs]

Hi! I've been trying to find a fic that I read a while ago and I wonder if you might recognize it. Kirk starts out the five year mission but keeps butting heads with Spock, so he instead starts up a correspondence with Spock Prime in which they become quite close. In the letters, they quote W.H. Auden's "The More Loving One" and a line from the Aeneid in which Aeneas is searching the streets, calling out for his wife Creüsa in grief. Eventually, Spock Prime convinces Kirk to give a relationship with young Spock another go.

Does this sound familiar at all? I'd love to read it again. Thanks!

Hey @vullcant! Sorry for the late response-- end of term reqs are ASS. Anyways, I apologize but I'm not familiar with this work, nor was I able to locate it while scrolling through ao3. To anyone who is familiar with this story, don't hesitate to reply to this post, so that we may be able to locate it:D I was able to find fics with similar concepts though, and I'll link them down here if you're interested:

My Devotion (AOS, 98448 words) by IvanW

After Jim is released from the hospital after being revived from death, he is befriended by Spock Prime, who is the only one he knows who has had a similar experience. He is having trouble dealing with coming back from the dead. Along the way, Jim and those around him discover someone is out to get him. In fact, possibly more than one group is out to get him. Spock��s relationship with Uhura is falling apart even as he grows closer to Jim, during Jim’s convalesce and later threats of danger. As their enemies close in, Spock, Spock Prime, and Bones form a group to protect Jim from outside threats.

Going Boldly (AOS, 114901 words) by IvanW

The adventures and developing relationship of Kirk and Spock one year into their five year mission and beyond

Redshift (AOS, 38679 words) by museaway

Dual tragedies bring the Enterprise's command team closer together, but the gap between them grows when Spock discovers something in Jim's mind.

Evolution (AOS, 149293 words) by Rhaegal

In his first year in command of the USS Enterprise James T. Kirk must gel his new team together, adapt to his abrupt change in status over his friends, and deal with falling for his first officer. And, of course, there's always someone out to threaten the galaxy.

an exercise in command team building (AOS, 38366 words) by onlyafterhours

Pretty sure this one isn't in the handbook on how to improve your working relationship with your first officer that hates you. Not that Jim's ever really used the handbook.

Sorry I wasn't able to find it, and I really hope you are able to find it soon-- it sounds like a great story, and I would love to read it myself:D

If you’re not reading One (1) Daily Shoulder Pat yet, let me just gently suggest you fix that.

Humour writing where you really feel like the author is having a great time and also that you as a reader are included in the joke? Such a treat! I’m ready for the drama but the comedy is already *chef’s kiss*

I’m only a few chapters in (impending big reveal, what… 👀) but I just wanted to share the love.

Chapter 24 is live!

Wherein Jim bravely endures a Space Zoom Call with 10 participants.

If you’re new here, have a summary:

Shenanigans ensue when one middle finger to the Academy too many gets Starfleet Cadet James T. Kirk booted off planet for a summer internship aboard the V.S.S. Sh'Raan.

He's hiding a major secret from the oh so earnest and helpful Vulcans, but the longer he's on the ship, the more Jim starts to wonder if they're keeping secrets from him, too.

Excerpt:

Captain Spisee handed Jim a heavy sheet of rich, cream paper embossed with gold dusted Vulcan calligraphy bearing the ship’s name. It was a bit cheap by the standards of Vulcan stationary aesthetics, but shipboard life meant some sacrifices. In the most elegant handwriting he’d ever had the privilege to lay eyes on, it read:

Human Enrichment and Optimal Health Program:

One (1) Daily Shoulder Pat (more provided upon request) 

Seventy (70) Seconds of Hug Time Per Week (divided between crew members as you deem necessary) 

Three (3) Discrete Instances of Daily Praise

Three (3) Structured Entertainments per week

 Minimum of One (1) Social Companion per meal (more available upon request)

Jim looked up from the Human Enrichment And Optimal Health Program and into Captain Spisee’s luminous brown eyes. There was no hint of mockery or malice there. He was an earnest scientist, possessing both cheekbones so sharp you could cut glass with them and the quadrant’s most excellent taste in guest furniture. He’d been given a unique task, and on Surak’s Katric Ark, he performed it with the same thoroughly Vulcan scientific intensity he would give the discovery of a new species of cave moss.

“We would appreciate detailed weekly feedback on the efficacy of our Human integration efforts,” said Captain Spisee.

“This is…” Intense? Weird? “Incredibly thoughtful.”

“You are not required to reciprocate the Daily Praise,” said Captain Spisee. Despite his words, Jim could swear one corner of his mouth twitched upwards two entire millimeters.

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.

Man, being a therapist in the Trek universe must be absolutely wild. Like, imagine sitting down at work and hearing things along the lines of "I got caught in a temporal mess where I watched my son grow old and die and kill himself to save me, but now I'm pretending like none of that happened so I don't emotionally scar him because he knows none of this - is that healthy?"

Or "I watched my clone die an entirely avoidable death because he was convinced everyone was plotting against him, and I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to trust my instincts again.”

Or "My alternate universe self is intensely horny and also evil. Does that mean if I get unusually horny I'm going to turn evil?"

Or "I am literally a religious icon with prophecies about me. How do I avoid letting that interfere with my work-life balance?"

Or "...Okay I see why you think I might be suffering from paranoia, but I need you to understand the station's tailor actually IS a spy. Also don't breathe a word of this, please."

I wish we'd seen more of that with Troi, but I also realize that would've messed with TNG's tone a bit - honestly, it would've fit really well in DS9. I'm actually tempted to write a fic about this. If I posted it here, would people want to read it?

Edit: soooo I'm actually only halfway through DS9, and based on the comments, I see I'm going to want to catch up so I can meet Ezri

felix knightly, julian's much-mentioned friend felix, comes to the station, and he's this dashing and effete and supremely successful older human man. he wears excellent fabrics and dedicates his life to constructing beautiful fictions.

he calls julian darling and sweetheart all the time. he speaks often of how they met - something about old hardcover books and competitive bidding in a san francisco auction house for history and literature lovers.

so it went: a long chat that turned to a long night haunting bars, showing this bright young thing the best old spots in the city, where real bands play real songs, history clings to the walls and a holoprogrammer could see nearly into the past, the future, the heart of things.

we walked the bridge with dawn on our shoulders, spent the night without losing reasons to keep talking together, and i knew this was a very special young man i had just befriended, he says.

and julian bashir, chief medical officer, war-tried and brave, looks at him through his lashes, a little bit twenty and awe-struck at being liked still.

felix speaks often about how so much of the reliable realism in his holonovels depends on having his own clever doctor to give him accurate medical information. how his gifts of custom-made programs are nothing, barely anything in comparison to the pleasure of making sweet julian enjoy himself in his intervals between wonderful adventures and admirable medical work.

he is flighty and shameless and self-satisfied and he never fails to make julian flush and brighten - something flickering open around his eyes.

he kisses the back of his hands, and plays with his hair. as if it easy and natural; as if he should be allowed always to lay a hand on julian's shoulder, and smile down at him with a conspiratorial look.

it would be easier, perhaps, if it were more sordid. but they tease each other endlessly, argue like old friends, there is history between them and not only old infatuation.

to watch him is to see an image repeated. there is the twist of the wrist doctor bashir does, the way he raises his chin and picks a glass with elegance and flirts relentlessly, as he himself had been flirted with until he relented.

it is clear enough that knightly has been a guiding figure to him, a teacher in some fashion in the arts of playing the gentleman.

a mildly chiding word from him in a specific tone, and julian straightens his back and pays attentions, rethinks his position, eases back the strain in his shoulders, lets himself be challenged, seduced into a proper debate. so perhaps he was the one who taught him that, too; to argue without spite, with wit, brash but not bull-headed.

it is clear enough julian bashir trusts him fully with his fantasies, and does not fear any mockery.

it is clear he is a weak man, a man of vice, an hedonist with no sense of responsibility, who cannot stand to live outside his programs. he drinks prodigiously and gambles recklessly, enjoys the sort of mind-whirling substances the federation permits only in careful dosages -

he is not the one to mention how it was that a medical student came to be well-versed in treating withdrawals, in dealing with hateful words said in dire states. doctor bashir himself, of course, would never breach patient confidentiality. but one may guess; one may assume.

his presence is temporary, he will go away to do research on another singular and distant place, he'll leave his friend behind for the hundredth time and send back a consolation game whenever he remembers he exists at all.

anyone can see it, in the doctor's eyes. he is has been wounded many times, he has been trained well to be expect to be liked but not wanted long.

in unrelated news, garak of garak's clothiers has had to cite complications to explain the delay of his present and forthcoming commissions. several of his needles and sewing machines have taken unexpected tumbles against the floor, and a remarkable amount of his fabric has appeared shredded to rags, almost as if a vole or beast of some sort had laid furious claws on them.

well, so it goes: life is not an holonovel. in real life, sometimes accidents can't be avoided, and mistakes have consequences.

someone ought to remind felix knightly of that, perhaps.

HEY EVERYONE

So, to preface this: My father passed away earlier this year. We have been cleaning things out as much as we can, bit by bit. He was a hoarder and was only hampered by the fact that my mother wouldn't let him dominate the house with EVERYTHING.

This meant he did not throw away ANYTHING at all. So here's something interesting.

in ye olden times before the internet, there were 'zines. And this was the collection of hand-written and drawn, then xeroxed...Star Trek Smut.

Specifically pertaining to Spock. It's WILD that this survived and is in as good of a condition as it is.

1972, as you can see. And Hal Clement (author of Needle) contributed to this collection! (His article is not pictured here, but its still cool!)

I'm sure this is of great interest to some people, how the 70s thought this stuff should go.

Here's some art! There is more but it is not safe to post here, lest staff kicks me. Unless I'm allowed to post stuff like that again, now?

Anyways, Where will this go? Museum of Popular Culture; They Have A Vulcan Harp!!

This one, not the Seattle one

[sapsuckers-and-stardust]

I love fics where Kirk and Spock have to go undercover as "normal" people and that ends up with Kirk dressing like a lumberjack or a suburban dad but Spock is wearing a gay little outfit because that's just how Vulcans dress.

[stra-tek]

One of the things I love most about Star Trek is that is goes on forever. You like a character? Beyond the episodes, there's more than likely at least dozen novels about them. Not enough? Have a ton of comic books where they go on even more adventures. Still need more? Here's a thousand fanfics. Here's a background graphic from an episode seen for 0.2 of a second detailing their education and qualifications. Horny for them? There's art for that, fic for that and maybe even naughty photos of the actor. Starships your thing? Here's a technical manual explaining how things work, and a set detailed floorplans. Want more? Here are books on the histories of the pretend starships, with endless variant designs and backstory for their creation. Still not enough? Walk around the ship on the laptop or computer as if you're there. You like the aliens? Here's a novel detailing their backstory. Here's a pretend travel guide to their planet. Still not enough? Here's an old Star Trek book with details about their anatomy. Still want more? Here's a fan diagram of the alien's penis.

[space-dog-from-space]

Woke up and decided I should write a DS9 fic, POV the lenses of a docu-drama film crew following everyone around. At first it's fine but then the camera people start getting into peoples' businesses (filming people when they don't know they're being filmed) and causing problems (telling lies to incite drama). Kira chases a cameraman through the promenade with the intention to kick ass after figuring it out. Julian calls security on the camera people after they keep crowding around his patients while he's actively doing surgery. Keiko starts swearing like a trucker when the camera people walk into her classroom so they can't use wny footage of the kids. Odo uses footage taken to solve a crime. Garak tries to kill a cameraman after they see something they shouldn't.

Spirk Fic Recs: Vulcan Kisses

Ngl these types of fic have a special place in my heart-- cuz they're so freaking cute and, in my vernacular, SUPER KILIG MOMENTS. Yiee haha. It's the intimacy behind the gesture that really establishes the mood of these fics <3

So, here are some of my fave Vulcan kisses centric fics I was able to read within the last month:

this and that of you (TOS/AOS, 1500 words) by schweet_heart

In which Captain Kirk attempts to seduce a Vulcan, and Spock is confused. Or: five times Kirk kissed Spock and one time Spock reciprocated in kind.

Just One More (It Couldn't Hurt) (TOS, 2521 words) by summerofspock

Spock starts sneaking Vulcan kisses from his captain and once he starts he can't seem to make himself stop.

Sometimes, A Feeling (AOS, 1359 words) by BeautyGraceOuterSpace

“Hey, Spock?”

“Yes, Jim?” Spock stood at attention near the door, anticipating that they would soon be leaving for the mess.

“Don’t take this the wrong way, because I am totally fine with it--- that sounds bad, what I mean is… just… why do you kiss me so much?”

A ritualistic form of affection (AOS, 3193 words) by thesoundofnat

Jim starts checking out books about Vulcans in order to understand Spock better. The results are a mix of panic, food, and Jim thinking slightly too much about Spock’s hands.

In the Right Hands (TOS, 1902 words) by summerofspock

Kirk is ashamed of his fetish for hands, but when he finds out that Vulcan hands are erogenous zones, he has a bit of an epiphany.

A Habitual Affection (TOS, 7998 words) by plaidshirtjimkirk

Living in 1930s New York with the Vulcan you're secretly in love with is no simple thing. But Jim never liked anything simple. And then, the big snowstorm hit…

Happy reading!

[highly-illogical]

presenting... random titles in my google docs for star trek fics im writing (+ a line from the fic) without context

Jim blinked. “Spock, I’m not about to pimp you out to these guys.”

Uhura was the first to get it, eyebrows hiking up in delight and surprise. “Oh my god, Spock you dog!”

"Just what the hell are you doin' to him, Jim?"

"Nothing he didn't ask me to!"

McCoy rolled his eyes. “Oh please,” he scoffed. “Bring out your whips and chains and do your fucking worst. Really? That’s the bargaining chip you went for? Newsflash, moron, he’s not gonna—“

“You’re alright darlin’” The endearment slipped from his lips faster than he could process it. He tensed, waiting for a sharp retort. It never came. Instead, he felt Spock’s chest rumble slightly against his own, a deep thrum that made him bite his tongue to keep from laughing with glee when he realized where it was coming from. 

Spock was purring.

The Vulcan anthurium penis is, without a doubt, a timeless classic, but I decided to take it a step further. Here’s a comic strip featuring Vulcan dicks inspired by different exotic plants—along with McCoy’s (almost) unperturbed reaction to them.

See full comic strip "Thornographic Botany" on AO3.
