my comprehensive star trek fic recs

(starting note: a lot of the following works contain heavy and/or uncomfortable themes, which is my preference when reading fanfiction, so just be aware of that. a lot of them are also, uh, rated E, so yea. i have no excuse for that one.)

(contains: mostly AOS with smatterings of SNW, DS9 and TOS)

EPICS/LONGER WORKS:

Don't Stop Believing by kianspo (Spirk AOS, rated E, finished at 205,901 words, a Spock-character-study slash novel-length-epic, features Spock/Pike heavily near the beginning, explores the loss and pain after y'know losing your mother and your planet, slow-burn Spirk but GOD the slow-burn is so good, not a straightforward story as characters are capable of both advancing and regressing but this complexity makes the story more delicious, includes homoerotic piano duets)

You Don’t Have To (Say Yes) by luminousbeings (Spirk AOS, rated M, finished at 192,321 words, HEED THE WARNINGS, starts out as “let’s make Tarsus IV even worse” but evolves into love letter for friendship and chosen family, characters so good you want to start chewing on the metaphorical pages, Kirk as bright-sunshine-character-with-the-horrors-in-his-past who’s messed up but god he’s trying, passages in this fic permanently rewired my brain)

War Games by seperis (Spirk AOS, rated E, finished at 108,882 words, necessary to read You’ll Get There In The End first, very sharp and cohesive prose and plot, the romance here is pretty unconventional and “unromantic” almost but it honestly works really well, uhh main warning is that this deals with politics analogous with real-world loss of rights so it’s uncomfortably relatable but if you’re fine with that it’s a really interesting read, intrigue and action, sorta-telepath!Kirk and good Vulcan OCs)

K’diwa: A Steamy Novel of Interspecies Romance, by Jim Kirk by branwyn (Spirk AOS, rated technically E but it’s more M i feel, finished at 103,984 words, accidental romance writer Jim Kirk, Kirk-was-adopted-by-Vulcans, Academy Era, far on the feel-good and indulgent side of fic if you’re into that)

The Door by Pouxin (Spirk AOS, rated E, finished at 77,118 words, per the description "and alternative STID thing" with one of the most distinctive and sweet/sharp love stories, smut does feature very heavily but so does literature and messy emotions, contains my favorite version of THAT scene from STID, makes you want to annotate passages and look for parallels like in fucking english lit class again)

For the Gladness of You by kariye (Spirk AOS, rated E, finished at 51,055 words, non-linear narrative, Spock and Kirk both have Issues(tm), definitely a thornier read where problems don’t have clear solutions and people are messy and don’t always make good decisions, more cynical but still so good)

EPISODIC/SMALLER STORIES:

The 1,000 Hour Sleep by spqr (Spirk SNW, rated M, finished at 27,227 words, basically Jim is a secret agent for Starfleet who's treated as expendable by Command but still gets adopted by the SNW crew, good balance of action/angst and romance/pining)

This Trailer Park Is a Shithole But Goddammit, It’s Home by waketosleep (Spirk AOS, rated M, finished at 23,446 words, trailer park AU, Jim Kirk’s dubious adventures in growing weed and trying to avoid the law, the crackiest adaptation of st2009 you’ll ever read)

Something Smart to Do by kianspo (Spirk AOS, rated M, finished at 21,322 words, how many times will Spock and Kirk get fake-married for missions before they admit they’re in love? the answer is too damn much)

How to Inefficiently Acquire a Human Male in 98.6 Earth Days by noodleinabarrel (Spirk AOS, rated T, finished at 30,391 words, Academy Era, Spock tries to ward off Jim's attempts at friendship but receives advice that does... not do that, romcom vibes, meddling Gaila)

Big Me (But It’s You I Fell Into) by waketosleep (Spirk AOS, rated M, finished at 38,728 words, i am entirely indifferent towards golf but this fic still slaps, feat. an oblivious jim, a low-stress but still very fun read)

knives in the water by green_postit (McKirk AOS, rated E, finished at 18,618 words, dark, mafia au, smut and violence, featuring McCoy’s sexual frustration and steadily eroding moral compass)

FEMSLASH:

encrusted gem-stuff / / of the mist by leohtttbriar (T'pura SNW, rated T, finished at 41,862 words, pon farr but it’s lesbians, beautiful psychedelic and almost surreal writing style that i want to inject into my bloodstream)

Unspoken by ThereBeWhalesHere (T’pura AOS, rated M, finished at 29,201 words, lovely AOS Uhura depiction with lots of linguistics and character depth, the path to true love is convoluted and thorny but they get there, eventually)

i cannot paint / what then i was by leohtttbriar (Kiradax DS9, rated T, finished at 15,462 words, brief Jadzia/Lenara Kahn, read if you like greek classics references, bi disaster Jadzia and gorgeous lesbian pining)

let them vie with each other by leohtttbriar (Jadzia Dax/Nyota Uhura DS9 & SNW/TOS, rated T with non-explicit sex scenes, finished at 6,215 words, a rarepair that sank its teeth into my neck, a gorgeous story that is very sci fi not just bc of the fandom but in its storytelling, beautiful science and linguistics asides, incredibly beautiful prose)

A Hermeneutics of Ass-Fucking by Alsike (Christine Chapel/T’pring SNW, rated M, finished at 5,954 words, an enjoyable cocktail of Vulcan intellectualism, crack and lesbian horniness, introduced me to Maggie Nelson’s works, also an update as this has sequels, the main being: Erotic Vulcan Love Poetry, Like a Sea Turtle to their Beach and Federation Day Festivities in Wabanaki Territory (Formerly known as Quebec), all of which are excellent)

Matchmaker of Mars by Edonohana (T’pura TOS, rated T, finished at 2,749 words, T’Pring and Uhura as 1930s scifi writers with a grudge against Campbell)

“BITE-SIZED”:

there's no such thing as a bad idea by bloodyhalefire (Spock & Bones AOS, rated T, finished at 5,114 words, giving "teenage girls talk about their crushes at a sleepover" except it's two emotionally constipated middle-ish-aged men who are drunk)

And Then I Let It Go by kianspo (Spirk AOS, rated E, finished at 10,632 words, post-Beyond getting together including fake identities and agricultural work)

Any Way You Want It by kianspo (Spirk AOS, rated T, finished at 12,031 words, Spock gets offered a promotion and Jim wants to be supportive, misunderstanding ensue, slightly cracky)

Watershed Moments by battybatzgirl (Kirk & Mcoy AOS, rated N/A, finished at 9,455 words, based on that Parks and Rec episode with snake juice but it’s Chekov’s tribble juice here, everyone’s super wasted here and it’s glorious, crack)

Big Damn Heroes by waldorph (Chekov/Sulu AOS, rated E, finished at 6,821 words, Chekov character study in a "live fast, die young" type of Starfleet life, honestly just read anything by waldorph ever, swashbuckling vibes)

what is love? (no really) by serenfire (Aromantic Spirk AOS, finished at 7,534 words, read if you like disaster!Kirk and/or have a grudge against Valentine's Day, cracky)

Hallmark Moment (Here in the Morning Remix) by unveiled (Joanna McCoy AOS, rated G, finished at 3,312 words, bittersweet character study, read if you want to feel a little sad and contemplative)

the five-year mission by screamlet (Kirk & McCoy AOS, rated M, finished at 11,106 words, dark post-STID that sees what with Starfleet's militarization and colonialist undertones... y'know that's not far from the mirrorverse...)

A Monument to All Your Sins by sinestrated (Spirk AOS, rated T, finished at 9,629 words, post-STID where Kirk is ordered to retake the Kobayashi Maru, soft established relationships and musings about the nature of sacrifice/duty)

UNFINISHED:

K’oh-nar by AlexPrime (Spirk TOS, rated T, updating at 320,000 words currently, PLEASE heed the "mental breakdown" tag as it centers around severe psychically-inflicted trauma, featuring Spock’s TOS canonical self-loathing, it’s tagged hurt/comfort but the plot’s still on the “hurt,”read if you want to be stabbed by a hundred knives)

Unbody Me and Take Me Home by Gltertearz (Spirk AOS, rated N/A, updating at 27,416 words but updating, domestic fluff but there's a ghost, slowburn for both the romance and the horror)

Pinched Nerve by RookSacrifice (Spirk SNW, rated E, updating regularly at 14,776 words currently, due to varying reasons both Spock and Jim enter a corporate matchmaking program, hilarity ensues, prose is very sharp and enjoyable)

💛💙SPIRK FIC REC💙💛

This is a sweet and funny AOS academy era fic in which Professor Spock and Cadet Kirk meet at the xenolinguistics club. Spock is drawn to Kirk but soon finds himself in an evolving situation that he can't handle. To try and push Kirk away, Spock tries a bit of reverse psychology with unexpected (or real, entirely expected) consequences. 😂

Fandom: Star Trek (The Alternate Original series) 

Author: noodleinabarrel | Word count: 2,324 | Rating: Teen and up, for this story there is a lot of 18+ conversation even though there is no actual description of character actions. So 18+ only for this story! 

Summary:  After having the best lay of his life on the couch of the sleazy club he bartends at, Jim comes home starry-eyed. Bones, however, couldn't give a shit about his roommate's swooning. All he cares about is his half-made guacamole and the avocado Jim promised to buy, but conveniently lost when his mystery man accidentally stole his jacket.

Review: This is just the right amount of funny with cute for me lol. I absolutely love (spoiler alert) how focused Bones is on this avocado and Jim is so not interested in the avocado. Jim’s absolute infatuation with Spock is adorable and vice versa. I could definitely see this story going so many places and their relationship just taking off into something more than infatuation, even though it does wonderfully as a one-shot. I’ll have to peek around the author’s page (linked above) to see if this one-shot was given anything else. There’s just the right amount of “other characters mentions” that I want to know more. I would die for Academy era fics, I’ve read so many! 

Always remember to leave comments and kudos! Happy reading :)

An open Tumblr letter to younger fans, from a 77-year-old TOS fangirl

* who has shipped Spirk since that night in 1967 that Amok Time first aired * and helped storm NBC to keep TOS on the air for a 3rd season * and wrote fanfic way back in the day * and was privileged to be around for the earliest days of fandom, when Leonard used to come to your house if that’s where the fan club was meeting and sit on the sofa with you in that Spock hair cut and eat cake

All of you who are writing TOS/AOS fan fiction and creating fan art now: remember, YOU are the ones shaping the traditions of fandom. You have inherited the kingdom. Bless you for keeping it vibrant, growing, alive. In fifty years, you will be the ones who are remembered for molding it and handing it down to the future. It probably doesn’t feel like now, but you are making history.

Your current addiction to TOS and the feels you get when you contemplate the love between Jim and Spock will be with you for life. It won’t always be in the forefront; you will sometimes go years, sometimes go a decade, without Star Trek being more than a passing thought. But then something will remind you and every consuming feeling you feel right now will come rushing back, every bit as powerful and deep and strong as it is today. All there, right where you left it.

The friendships you make in fandom will be with you for life. Like all friendships, they will wax and wane as the focus of your life shifts over time, but you will always be able to pick up the thread. You will — to give you a hypothetical example — be 77 years old and discover Tumblr and get a rush of Spirk feels after a decade of not giving TOS a thought, and contact your 83-year-old fangirl friend in the nursing home, to whom you haven’t spoken in several years. You will open the conversation with, “So, Jim and Spock love each other and that just makes me so happy.” And your friend in the nursing home will sigh and say, “Yes. They do love each other. It’s such a comfort.”

That look that Jim and Spock give each other, of absolute adoration and acceptance and love? That’s real. It’s rare, but it’s real. One of my greatest joys in life is to see my son and his husband give each other looks like that. Of course I don’t know you; I don’t know your strengths and struggles or your place on the spectrum of gender or anything about your sexuality or what you look like or what your life has taught you to believe about yourself, but I do know this: YOU DESERVE TO BE LOVED AND LOOKED AT THE WAY JIM AND SPOCK LOOK AT EACH OTHER. Please don’t accept less than that in your life.

The future of our planet does not seem very hopeful at the moment. But please remember that when Gene created Star Trek, the world was in turmoil and the future seemed very bleak. Star Trek is, was, always shall be about hope. Reach for it. When TOS first aired, we hoped to see some form of a Starfleet on the horizon in our lifetimes. That vision must be passed on to you. Do it. Make the world worthy of launching the human race out into space. CREATE STARFLEET.

You are all creative and funny and amazing. Far more amazing than you know. Be kind to yourselves. Live long and prosper, kids.

Tags are in reference to my first bullet point. Meant as a kudos to your work, but feel free to untag yourself if you don’t want to be linked to my ramblings; I won’t be offended! (Also, this extends to a thousand other artists and writers out there who deserve kudos. tag at will.)

[entrenous88]

noodleinabarrel replied to your post: Y’all aren’t making me feel anti-Tarantino.  You...

omg thank you. It feels like every time there’s new aos movie buzz people instantly jump into wank mode on tumblr. All the negativity is driving me nuts. I just want a fourth movie please please please let it be!

GAh.  Yes.  I’m with you on that same wish for sure!!!  I want there to be a fourth movie, I want to get more canon material, I want us all to have the chance to go see our cast on the big screen again!

Title: The Morning After

Author: noodleinabarrel

Word Count: 50381

Rating: M 

Summary:  Jim convinces Spock to take shore leave with him on Risa, hoping the time together will help re-solidify their bond of friendship after some recent tension. Meanwhile, Spock convinces himself he's on Risa for one reason and one reason only, to prevent his wayward captain from getting into trouble. After a passionately illogical night of Romulan Ale and chocolate infused liquor, everything changes when Jim wakes with something other than a hangover filling his head. Something he's sure neither he nor Spock can handle. Because if Jim knows anything for sure, it's that his messed up thoughts belong nowhere near Spock's clean, ordered mind.

My feels: What a FIC. I can’t believe I haven’t read this. Absolutely delightful. Accidental marriage + drunk Spock + earnest/emotional Spock and oblivious!insecure!Jim. All of my fave things lbr

WIP Challenge

Tagged by @noodleinabarrel . Thanks my dear!

Do Dis: List all the things you’re currently working on in as much or little detail as you’d like, then tag some friends to see what they’re working on. This can be writing, art, vids, gifsets, whatever. —

Oh this is gonna be painful, because I have been avoiding some things like the plague. 😜😜😫😫

Chp 3 of Trinkets: Battle scenes suck. Like suck. There's so much movement and making sure everyone is where they're supposed to be and technology and injuries and goals and military formations and and and.... Ugh. Anyways, I gotta get this done, it's just beating the hell outta my muse.

OMS Challenge: So I've had this story partially written since OMS last year (it was supposed to be my story, but it just wouldn't come last year) so we will see if I can revive it and get it written before Nov 30th, or end up with a new idea.

Multi-chapter thing that's OMS: so I have about 1/4 of the story written, it just seems to keep getting pushed back. By the end I suspect it'll be 15 chps or so and I won't post this one until I have it fully written (maybe not edited, but definitely written, so peeps are not waiting)

So many other ideas written and sketched in a short hand 1-2 pg skeleton format. So. Damn. Many.

Aaaaaaaaand I might have several skeleton short hand stories that I want to do for Hannibal/Hannigram too. FML.

Last Song: my roomie keeps playing her new theme song: “we don’t have to dance” by Andy Black

Last Movie: we’ve been watching so many movies and tv series lately, it’s hard to say... I think it might have been the first MHA movie because my roomie hadn’t seen it.

Currently reading: geraskier fanfiction. @reapersun ‘s artwork has inspired me to obsessively read bottom!geralt.

Food that I am craving: my period is hitting me right at this moment. I want everything that’s bad for me, but only a little of each. Bring on icecream, cookies and cake, but I’d also go for a heavy salad. We have none of those things. T_T

I trust your judgement a lot, so do you have any spirk fics you would recommend?

thank you for your trust!! Hope I don’t disappoint!!

Alien Anatomy by Sangwin: Spock matriculates to Starfleet Academy with a mysterious past and an uncertain future. An unexpected roommate and a (somewhat) unprovoked bar fight are just the research opportunities needed for Spock, Kirk and even McCoy to learn the exact location of an alien heart.

- 14K, AOS, Academy AU, M rating, A DELIGHT, seriously this fic is my life, fave aos fic right here guys

Sha Ka Ree by ThereBeWhalesHere: The year is 2258. Jim Kirk is a Lieutenant on the U.S.S. Farragut, Spock the science officer of the U.S.S. Enterprise. When the ships come together for a priority landing party, these two strangers find themselves fighting against the odds for a chance at life in an alien world, and the only way they’ll make it through is by relying on each other. 

- 193k, TOS, E rating, intense mutual pining, survival gays, this fic, actually scratch that this author owns my ass okay? I’ve got three fics from her on here and they’re all MUST READS and  ALL TIME FAVES

Refuge by ThereBeWhalesHere: AU: In a less powerful, less united Federation, Romulus takes an opportunity to attack Vulcan and Federation planets begin taking in Vulcan refugees. One of these refugees, a young Spock, stays with the Kirk family on their farm in Iowa. Everyone thinks it’s temporary, but after a few years Earth becomes as much a home to Spock as Vulcan ever was, and the Kirks– especially Jim– become family. Eventual K/S.

- 70k, TOS, T rating, 

 To Be Wed by ThereBeWhalesHere: “With a human ruling alongside King Sarek, it makes sense that they would want a Vulcan to rule alongside you. Look on the bright side. At least it’s not Sybok."Prince S'chn T'gai Spock and Crown Prince Sam Kirk are pushed by their families into an awkward courtship, sure to become an awkward marriage. Meanwhile, the younger Terran prince just wants to make sure his future brother-in-law feels comfortable in his new home. But unfortunately for Jim, the road to hopeless, unrequited love is paved with good intentions.

- 36k, Royalty AU, M rating

Cast Out Fear by Sommersprossen: Kirk saves Vulcan from Nero at high cost to himself. It falls to Spock to pick up the pieces.

- 42k, AOS, AU, graphic mentions of violence/torture, M rating, hurt/comfort, ANGST, lots of amazing in-depth descriptions of Vulcan, and use of the language, this fic makes me cry for Jim okay

Chains of Command by WhatIfImaMermaid: There is never any sneaking around in the dimly lit corridors of ship’s night, or discreet Vulcan kisses in the nooks of engineering.Unless Jim is incredibly tired or stressed, there are no lingering looks on the bridge, either. The stakes are far too high. OR Admitting to each other that they are in love is not an issue. The problem is revealing it to everyone else. This is how Jim and Spock’s relationship would be if Starfleet actually enforced fraternization regulations.

- 8k, E rating, AOS, THE MUTUAL PINING IS INTENSE WITH THIS ONE

Translating Ennoia by WerewolvesAreReal: Spock intends to resign his commission with Starfleet six months into the Enterprise’s mission. Then he meets Captain Kirk – his t'hy'la – and everything becomes infinitely more complex.

- 2k, Teen rating, AOS, Academy Era, very funny!! 

Textual Attraction by LaLaZee: Valentine’s Day does not bring up pleasant memories for Cadet Kirk. But the serendipitous switch-up of his cell phone with a particular Vulcan professor’s will make his day far more interesting – and romantic. Perhaps some new memories can be made.

- 15k, AOS, M rating, Academy Era, cute and funny!

Definitions by WerewolvesAreReal: "We call it t'hy'la,” Spock says.

- 3k, Teen rating, TOS

The first fic in the serious is about 9k, all the others vary but are relatively short in comparison.

💛💙SPIRK FIC REC💙💛

This one is a nice mix of funny, sweet and emotional. Spock and Jim take some shore leave together and wake up the morning after having to deal with some pretty serious consequences and work out where they go from here. There are some laugh out loud moments, and some weep with sadness moments. Overall, a really nice story with some great dialogue 🥰

Paper cuts (espressohno)

Word count: 20,439, Summary: It was just one big, happy, drunk (except for Jim), family.

Stay with me (Cause you’re all I need) (I_OfTheHawk) 

Word count: 2,891, Summary: Pain.

Pain was the first thing he felt and suddenly he was aware of everything. Tim was leaning over him, hands covering something on his chest. He groaned. He tried looking around but everything was so heavy. The weight in his chest blossomed into something unbearable and he tried to grab Tim’s - no Red Robin’s - wrist and push it off.
