Ok, tumblr, I need your help. I was reading a story here last night that linked to AO3. When I came back here in the morning tumblr reset and I was back at the beginning page of tumblr. So it was a AOS Star Trek story. Pike was still captain, Kirk was first officer, Spock was science officer. Kirk thinks Spock hates him. They were going down to a planet where the people were telepaths. Spock did something where Kirk and him could communicate by thinking. Then one of the aliens bonded them. That’s where I left off. Help me find it please. It was really good!!

Congratulations to TOS Kirk/Spock shippers, thee original slash fandom that is only getting stronger with time. Let's get this bread in 2024.
Edit: It's annoying the shit out of me that this is circulating with an interpretation I don't think is supported by data (see this), and then I remembered it's my blog and I can be petty if I want to. No more reblogs.
#star trek tos#kirk/spock#ao3#spirk#note: this includes fics double tagged as AOS & TOS#& 17 and 83 crosstagged SNW fics contribute to the TOS totals in 2022 and 2023#obviously pre 2008 TOS fics are backdated. but many old fics are not backdated so these data should be understood to be estimates.#the recent KS archive important IS correctly backdated however.#star trek fic

I still remember the day I first watched Star Trek and I thought, "Wow, Kirk and Spock would make a really good couple, I wonder if there's anyone who ships them," and then I looked up 'Kirk and Spock' on the Internet and the first thing that came up was the fucking Wikipedia article about the history of slash fiction and that it was Kirk and Spock who invented modern fandom.

Do you ever think about how Kirk had a "best friend" on the ship before Bones in Gary Mitchell, a man who:
a) deviously manipulates him into heartbreak for Mitchell's benefit,
b) shames him for not being "fun" enough when he's in a position of power,
c) openly insults intelligent and powerful women,
d) treats everyone cruelly as soon as he gets power and tries to seize everything for himself,
e) finds it fascinating that he can stop a person's heart for fun, and
f) tries to murder Kirk instead of admitting that he's a danger to the universe,
and then chooses to replace him with Bones, a man who:
a) tries to save Kirk from heartbreak at every opportunity,
b) gets him to smile and relax by being genuinely interested in how he's doing and telling him that he's great and respected just as he is,
c) openly toasts intelligent and powerful women,
d) treats everyone kindly as soon as he gets power and tries to use it to help as many people as he can,
e) cries about how people suffered when medical treatments were less advanced, and
f) says, "Jim, I can't destroy life, even if it's to save my own. I can't."
because I do

i do wish people would move beyond talking about the historical significance of kirk/spock and actually engage with how beautiful of a story theirs is and why those two specifically sparked a movement to see same-sex characters portrayed beyond camaraderie.

Ok, so I love Kirk/Spock fics where they get stranded together during a mission or shore leave and eventually hook up. I need to read more of them and would love to hear everyone's recommendations.
Here are some of my favs:
The Lotus Eaters by aldora89
Sha Ka Ree by @onedamnminuteadmiral
Inside the River by Yeaka
insomnia by @twinkboimler
Rain Dogs by @gunstreet
Please share yours 🙏✨️ (I only really read explicit fics but feel free to share whatever you read)

Bones making his love for Jim SUPER OBVIOUS by choosing to stay in space with him is one of my favorite micro tropes

everyone knows that if you bring your best friend along on a date with your bf, either your best friend of your bf will end up being third wheeled-- unless you're jim t kirk and you manage to third wheel for your first officer (who is in fact your boyfriend) and your cmo best friend.
no i have not watched bread and circuses yet but i feel in my heart that this applies. and also objectively the bread and circuses outfits are so insanely mind-blowingly attractive?? i needed an excuse to draw them in tight-fitting shirts and i regret nothing 😎
you just know that whenever the pre-mcspirk triumvirate hangs out whoever did the inviting will inevitably end up being the third wheel. like jim invites spock over to play chess and brings bones along to spectate and commentate and IMMEDIATELY spones joins forces to beat his ass (bickering and sassing each other all the while. and by the end bones is basically halfway on spock's lap smug as hell with spock leaning back a little just to accommodate him, a hand ghosting his waist to keep him from losing his balance.) And they beat jim's ass so soundly it would almost be embarrassing if he hadn't been preoccupied with committing the way spock and bones fit so well together to memory.
or spock will ask jim and bones over for dinner, and somehow while he's turned his back for a minute replicating their meals mckirk will have gotten into a playful argument about the worst terran movie and spock watches this eventually escalate into a mock tussle on the couch (and then onto the floor, where jim solidly pins bones (who is voicing his complaints very loudly) to the carpet and sort of pets at him until he goes pliant and giggly. and spock keeps watching because he can't bring himself to look away from how jim's biceps and triceps flex with the exertion of keeping a flailing bones still, and the way bones' shirt has rucked up with his wriggling and is now exposing his midriff in a decidedly... agreeable manner. And now their dinner is getting cold but spock is very much not. the opposite, in fact.
for bones though, generally he has the opposite problem-- whenever he tries to corner jim for a physical, it's guaranteed that spock will show up with him and stand next to his bed and all but hold jim's hand in front of the entire medbay and (with infuriating accuracy and highly amusing, transparent urgency) hand bones the instruments he needs before he even reaches for them, hovering by jim's side all the while. and jim is also TERRIBLE about not physically attaching himself to spock and actually letting bones do his goddamn job when spock gets hurt. if he wasn't so fond of them both, he swears he would've kicked them out of his medbay ages ago. Too bad they've both wormed their way solidly into his heart.
...
prompt fill for @mcspirkevents' mcspirk month day 26 "expectations vs reality" (i know this isn't spicy but by god spirk's mouths are actually touching and given my track record of not being able to draw people kissing properly it might as well be, lol) 🩵💙💛

AO3 commenters: you have no idea how important you are to keeping authors writing. To making us happy. To improving our day, by even the smallest amount.
I've been struggling with my mental health a bit lately and I was feeling more than a little down this afternoon, as life was feeling especially relentless. Then I got this comment, over a year after I posted the final chapter:
I was so touched. Touched that PrincessFi1 had not only read FBD once, but read it TWICE!! Over two parts, it's 387k words! That's genuinely astonishing to me, and it parted some of the clouds that had been over me all day.
Yes, I love it. Yes, it contains some of my writing I'm most proud of, out of anything I've ever written. To find out that other people love it too, even now, over a year after I finished it, means so much to me.
I made myself laugh, cry, sob like a baby, smile like an idiot. I worked through some stuff, alongside our boys, and I just wanted to say here, for the record: everyone who's been on that journey with me, especially those who took the time to tell me in the comments, THANK YOU. From the bottom of my heart: thank you. Your investment, your encouragement, your love - for K/S and for FBD, meant I actually finished a work I'm still proud of, and look back on with such affection.
And I'm carrying a fair amount of guilt that there are now hundreds of comments in my inbox that I've read, but not responded to, so I wanted to post this:
If you've ever commented on a fic and didn't get a response, I am going to take the liberty of responding on behalf of all writers: we thank you, we love you, and we are so, so grateful.
#commenters are wonderful people who make the world a better place#if youve ever said anything nice to a writer ever#thank you so much#first best destiny#k/s#spirk#star trek tos#ao3 fanfic#kirk and spock are soulmates and this fic uses canon to prove it

Did you ever wonder how this happened?
Well, for this year's KiScon Zine, @gunstreet decided to show you what exactly led up to that carving. It's a beautiful work about friendship, first times and just fun shenannigans. You can read it HERE.
I did 5 illustrations for it! You will find a very sexy treat, too!
I hope you enjoy it. We certainly did.
As always, thank you to gunstreet for allowing me to be part of her wonderful storytelling. And thank you to @kiscon and their amazing mods for managing the titanic feat of editing such a big and hefty zine.
Don't forget to leave a comment and some kudos!!
[TOS, 10K, explicit - also contains nsfw art]
