#bring back pon farr friday

[spongynova]

Saw a picture of two idiots rolling on the ground. I had to make it space husbands.

T'pring, if Stonn isn't the one I humbly volunteer as tribute.

Have a nice day y'all! Sending space hugs & friendly thoughts for all the queers, freaks & misfits as usual <3

16k+ plus words of pure, unadulterated Vulcan smut so far in this wip and still no actual sex...I guess that's the way it be when you choose that logical life, eh?

Anyway here's an excerpt from Part 2 of 'A Bad Vulcan Prophet.' TW's for intense mindbreak themes via melds, crying, masturbating, and...I can't believe this is where I've come to but yes, pre-pon farr Vulcan nesting. Rated E for explicit, babes.

Hoping to post on A03 friday as per usual!

'ABVP' Part 2 excerpt

Sarek drops your head onto the bed, breaking the meld with a soft thud. Utterly unable to move it from where it falls you collapse in an overloaded heap under him. He rolls his neck in a slow, satisfied circle, breathing in long and deep as if to savor the rush. If you could hear you might have noticed the soft purr rumble his throat before he opens his eyes to take you in. 

He stares at you for a moment as if he wants to speak, ultimately deciding against it. You see through him, not really looking at him. The numb glaze of your slack expression starts to warm under the tears trickling down your cheeks, but you are absent from their meaning.

He tucks a heavy blanket over you. They're stacked in a neat collection of piles along the foot of the bedroll and he unfolds a few to barricade up gently around your space. It's warm and comfortable against your skin, totally juxtaposed to how raw your brain and heart feel. Sarek ignores your crying. He pulls another blanket over you, adjusting your head on the pillowed bunch of a corner. You ignore him back, unwilling to move. Curving his tall body along the inside of the blanket barricade, he nestles himself against your covered form to trap you under the press of his arm and leg while he breathes steadily.

A long time seems to pass. You're sweaty under the crushing warmth of blankets and his body. Eventually your head starts to tingle through the tears, almost staticky like when you stood upright after holding your ankles for too long. Sleep. You just want sleep and silence.

Sarek gets up from the bed when your tears finally stop. He adjusts the blankets around you, bringing more thick folded ones up nearer your head like potential pillows.

"Do not move from that place." He orders. You don't respond. He knows you won't get up. "We shall continue when I return. Use this time to rest."

You squeeze your eyes shut under the edge of your blanket pile, no thoughts behind their burning swell. You feel him watching you. After a few still minutes you hear him leave the tent. Your head starts to pound, and tears come anew. 

Tucking your head back under the covers, you pass out crying into a pile of folded blankets. 

When you wake up, your headache is gone and your abdomen is on fire. You feel nothing over the rest of your body, only the heat flaring down through your stomach. You plunge your hands between your thighs, moaning at the instant release pressing against your fingers. The backs of your legs are wet, your slick having dripped down the curve of your butt while you slept. 

Rocking gently over your hands, you part the wet lips of your vulva to rock on either side of your clit. You whine quietly in disbelief. It's shameful how wet you are but you can't stop rocking your hips. Your core roils in agony whenever you stop so you keep going, sweaty and panting curled up under the covers.

"I am gratified you find my nest satisfactory." 

You jerk your head up from the blankets, snapping your eyes open to see him standing over you by the side of the...nest. 

You look up over the sea of blankets he's dwarfed you in, and there it is plain as day. The food covering his desk and counter. The beard. Extra wood, and increasing the temperature in the tent. And all the blankets laying about. And the bathtub sitting in the middle of the tent, still full of the morning's water. You look down to your own bed which is no longer really a bed. He's been nesting all around you this whole time, you realize, and like a horny fool you had barely noticed.

"No." You say dumbly.

"Continue." He demands. He leans over to peel the thick layer of blankets down to your feet. Your fingers are still, buried between your wet thighs. Your sweat-dampened skin blooms in goosebumps from the sudden rush of air. "Masturbate in it. I know precisely which lesson you will learn afterwards." His tone freezes the bumps to your toes.

Leonard Nimoy's Spock Was The Nerd Hero Who Taught Us How To Feel

Leonard Nimoy as Spock on Star Trek Paramount Pictures

Star Trek is for nerds. That much has been certain ever since Gene Roddenberry’s optimistic sci-fi vision for the future first debuted on NBC in 1966. From its preoccupation with invented technologies like warp nacelles and transporter pads to the vagaries of made-up alien cultures like the Klingons and the Romulans, you had to be on the show’s particular wavelength to really grasp its lasting hold on the culture. The show, and its subsequent movies and spin-off series, spoke to a unique blend of passions cultivated by often socially awkward men and women whose abiding faith in and arcane knowledge of science and technology was matched by an earnest hope that the world we live in now will, someday, get much better. In other words: nerds.

We wanted to believe we could be Kirk, but we definitely knew we could be Spock.

And Spock — as played by Leonard Nimoy, who died Friday at 83 — was our ultimate nerd hero. The half-Vulcan’s brilliant mind was guided by a razor-sharp perception of the laws of logic that was not just enviable to nerds, it was aspirational. He could cut through the emotions that seemed to clutter up cogent thought, finding the objective reason tucked inside most any problem or scenario. Spock’s counterpart, William Shatner’s Capt. James T. Kirk, was a different kind of aspirational figure: the virile, impassioned leader who was sexual catnip to anyone he wanted to seduce. In order words, he wasn’t a nerd. We wanted to believe we could be Kirk, but we definitely knew we could be Spock.

Though his dispassion at times deliberately read as cold, Nimoy was too adept an actor to make the character an icy, uncaring robot, no matter how often Dr. Leonard McCoy (DeForest Kelley) accused him of being one. Because, in a masterstroke by Roddenberry, Spock was more than just half-human — his veneer of Vulcan logic also masked a well of explosive emotions the Vulcan people had spent centuries striving to overcome.

In the Season 2 premiere of the original Star Trek TV series, “Amok Time,” fans were introduced to pon farr, a Vulcan mating phenomenon in which men are engulfed with a kind of sexual madness that has to be satiated or it will kill them. If there is a better metaphor for adolescent puberty, I have not encountered it. I’m not sure if Roddenberry deliberately set out to forge a kinship between Spock and young teenage nerds who were overwhelmed — even terrified — by their own roiling emotions and sexuality, but he did.

It was alarming for his crewmates and for the audience to see Spock in such a deranged state in “Amok Time.” But it also gave the character — and Nimoy — vital emotional shading, a sense that Spock was far more than just a paragon of logic and intellect. And not just due to his literally dangerous sexuality, either. In the episode’s climactic moment, Spock seemingly kills Kirk in a ritualistic Vulcan battle meant to quell Spock’s pon farr. Back on the Enterprise, Spock announces he will resign from Starfleet in disgrace, only to discover Kirk is still alive — knocked out instead by Dr. McCoy in a ploy to simulate death. Spock is so elated to see his friend still alive that he briefly exclaims “Jim!” and grabs Kirk by the shoulders with a huge smile. It was a great winking moment for Spock, Nimoy, and the audience, letting us know that even nerds are allowed to feel — even if it makes us uncomfortable.

As Trek expanded its reach, and Spock took hold as not just a character but a kind of cultural icon, Nimoy became — for better or worse — synonymous with the role. And like twentysomethings trying to escape their own teenage nerdom, Nimoy tried to shake off his connection to Trek in the 1970s with his autobiography I Am Not Spock. But the gravitational pull of Trek’s growing popularity proved inescapable. And eventually, the actor moved beyond accepting his reality to learning not to take himself or the role so seriously. In 1986’s Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home — directed by Nimoy — we were treated to the sight of Spock loose in 20th century San Francisco. He tussled with antisocial punks, learned how to use profanity (or, in Spock’s parlance, “colorful metaphors”), and he swam in his skivvies while mind-melding with a humpback whale.

Some Trek fans — Trekkies, Trekkers, whichever word you prefer — found this irreverence disconcerting. But actually, it was a gift. Passionate fandom can ossify into an unforgiving cultural rigidity, especially when that fandom is overseen by a core group of nerds who archive and catalog every last detail about the thing they love. But in order to thrive, those cultural entities also need to continue to grow with us and with the times in which we live. And that’s something Nimoy understood. In Star Trek IV, he gave us a looser, less self-important Spock and Trek, something to remind nerds that logic and intellect needn’t preclude a self-awareness and sense of humor.

In the ’90s and ’00s, as Shatner embraced his position as a kind of pop-cultural kitsch icon with Priceline ads and his Emmy-winning run on Boston Legal, Nimoy settled comfortably into the role as Trek’s wise elder. His appearance as Spock on Star Trek: The Next Generation in a two-part episode in 1991 was a true television event, earning a reported 25 million viewers, making it one of the most-watched Star Trek TV episodes ever. It was a dream for both old and new Trek fans to see Spock discuss the nature of fallible human emotions with Data (Brent Spiner) — TNG’s own brilliant character at odds with how to express his (perhaps nonexistent) humanity — bringing two nerd cultural paragons together on the same screen.

By the time the actor played Spock in J.J. Abrams’ cinematic Star Trek reboot, Nimoy had come to embody Trek itself, lending the more Star Wars-ian proceedings an air of cultural legitimacy. It’s almost eerie, then, that Nimoy’s death falls at a kind of turning point for the entire Trek franchise: Abrams is setting aside Trek to revive the Star Wars franchise in earnest, and fans regard the last Trek movie, Star Trek Into Darkness, with no small amount of disdain.

But despair is not logical. Spock has helped expand the very idea of what it means to be a nerd, making his struggle between emotion and logic feel universal, part of the greater human endeavor to strive for something better. And in doing so, he helped to greatly improve nerdom’s cultural currency. The biggest comedy on network TV today, The Big Bang Theory, is literally about nerds who worshipped Spock as kids — and still do as adults. And President Barack Obama said in a statement on Friday marking Nimoy’s passing, “Long before being nerdy was cool, there was Leonard Nimoy.” The president even flatly stated, “I loved Spock.”

When I think about Spock and Nimoy leaving us, like so many Trek fans today, I inevitably think back to 1982’s Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, still the best Trek movie ever and the fullest expression of what Spock meant to me, and to nerds everywhere. Faced with certain death, Spock exposed himself to a lethal dose of radiation in order to save the Enterprise, and sacrificed his body in the process. (That sacrifice would be undone in the follow-up film The Search for Spock, but this is science fiction, after all.)

As Kirk looked upon the ruined body of his closest friend, Spock used his final breaths to share his kinship with Kirk — and, really, with the entire audience — saying, “I have been, and always shall be, your friend.” Just typing those words floods me with emotion. Spock was one of our heroes, and by the end, he also became one of our friends. He will stay with us. As Kirk expressed so eloquently at Spock’s funeral:
