#k/s fanfic

[lichqueenlibrarian]

Okay look @jennelikejennay wrote a fic where there is situationally erotic manicures, and Uhura tells Jim that Vulcans are quiet about their sexuality since humans associate celibacy with discipline & they don't want to appear undisciplined... aaaand I made a Cursed Image.

[celestialvoyeur]

That's a wrap! Today I posted the Epilogue of my first long fic 'A Compatible Match'. If you've been waiting until it was complete on AO3 before binging it all at once then this is your cue to start reading! If you need any more incentive to give it a go then here's a selection of some of the artworks I created for various chapters because, yes, this fic is also illustrated! Thanks so much to everyone who read along as the chapters were being released. Your comments were a constant source of delight and I'm blowing kisses to you all!

Everyone shut up! An old school Spirker is currently posting her experience on reddit

[comicallysmallcereals]

I may be making k/s rubber duckys

(What level of brain rot is this…)

[kirkscarr]

it’s official!! First, Best Destiny -- Part 1 by the lovely @ophelia-j finally has the physical form that it deserves!! here’s a little photoshoot of the finished product (:

to see how i bound this book i have another post that can be found here.

next up: specialty pages!!

first off there are these title pages

and then the copyright page!

the table of contents!

*note: i did remove the chapter notes to format it more like a “real” book. (looking back, i honestly wish i hadn’t because i do always love reading those!) because i removed the notes, i decided to include which episode/movie the chapters follow in the table of contents!!

the chapter headers!! THEORETICALLY it says t'hy'la in vulcan script.

and then i have this TBC page that i stuck in right before the epilogue!

this is such a small detail but it honestly might be one of my favorite parts. i did my very best to emulate a real book's design, so i have this fun little barcode/QR code at the very back. and!! the QR code links to the actual Ao3 story!! how cool is that???

conclusion!!

throughout every step of the bookbinding process i was mentally like "this is gonna be the step where it ALL FALLS APART" and??? it never did??? like? i just made a 900 page book??? that's crazy guys.

anyways!! i am so, so, SO thrilled that i am now the proud owner of a physical copy of First, Best Destiny -- Part 1.

*sidenote for the author!! thank you so much for all your support on my last post - it actually made my day! <33

Spirk Crack Fanfic Recs

Personally, when stressed, I find it best to unwind at with a few good laughs. Here are some Spirk fanfics guaranteed to get you bust a lung on a Friday night:

Spock 🖖 (TOS, 3714 words) by vaksur, WerewolvesAreReal

Spock decides to start utilizing emojis during intraship messaging in an attempt to better communicate with human colleagues.

Reactions are mixed, but Kirk wholly approves of the results.

love is an affliction (TOS, 5836 words) by WerewolvesAreReal

“A condition – you're sick? With spontaneous flowers? How do I get rid of them?”

“You do not.”

(Or: Hanahaki disease is not fatal, but it is exclusive to Vulcans. Honestly, death would be more dignified.)

Personal Personnel Protocol (TOS, 15412 words) by dothedeux

Someone wants Jim and Spock to get married. They just don’t know who. But whoever it is, Jim is going to slam the hammer of justice over their head hard enough to make up for all the times he got trapped in the turbolift with Spock.

Reasons We Should Date: A Logical Approach (AOS, 3055 words) by iknewaman

Jim really wants to get across to Spock how well they are together, but he's not sure how to go about it.

Eventually he decides fuck it, the simplest way to get Spock to understand is to walk him through it, and he does so using the wonderful medium of digital presentations

not my type (AOS, 7469 words) by soetry

Nyota now feels ridiculous for thinking that Commander The-Only-Reason-I-Don't-Always-Get-My-Way-Is-Because-I-Believe-In-Federation-Law Spock would ever actually let something go

Jim and Myself #28 (TOS, 5313 words) by lurikko

Someone on the Enterprise is writing smut about the captain

Vulcans do NOT flirt. Right? (TOS, 6273 words) by Qleo

It sure seemed to Jim that his second in command was getting, well, flirty but everyone knows that Vulcans don't flirt. It must be in his head, right?

this is what happens when you save earth, apparently (TOS, 5454 words) by WerewolvesAreReal

“So, why haven't you settled down with some lucky lady yet?” the interviewer asks.

Maybe it's the blinding set-lights, or the fact that he hasn't slept in thirty-five hours. But for some reason Kirk blurts, “Honestly, they all end up getting jealous of Spock.”

spirk fics i've read in the last two-ish months and loved

I will have you (if you let me) by ros3bud009 @roseymoseyberry (TOS) - starting out this list with a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ fic. i loved everything about this fic - the premise (k&s know they're t'hy'la from the second they meet), the yearning, the journey, the love. i could live in this fic

Spock 🖖 by vaksur, WerewolvesAreReal (TOS) - need a laugh? this one is it. spock decides to use emojis in his comms. shenanigans ensue

A Friend Like You by kierawrites (TAS, yes you read that right an animated series fic!) - pre-slash, a glimpse into their lives after the episode "mudd's passion." this one is short and yet is packed with *them*

A Different Perspective by Maeko (AOS, SNW) - transporter malfunction fic, and this time it brings AOS Spirk to SNW verse. loved this one for the AOS Spirk dynamics, but mostly the SNW Spock and AOS Spock interactions and Maeko's perspective of Vulcan telepathy. it's a fascinating character study!

in the dying of the light by scar_a_mouche (zanni_scaramouche) @zanniscaramouche (AOS) - i'm not sure how to categorize this one, other than to say that i had this *ache* in my chest through every sentence and it just felt so AOS Spirk that i wanted to drown in it. one of my faves over the last few months

Personal Personnel Protocol by dothedeux (TOS) - another comedy entry for the list. this time it's not just the bridge crew that knows what's up, it's the computer. such a fun read and so sweet too

Professor Kirk by TonightNoPoetryWillServe (AOS) - cadet spock, professor kirk, and all kinds of fluff with only a touch of angst. perfect bedtime reading

Let Forever Be by gunstreet @gunstreet (TOS) - listen. i need everyone to drop what they're doing and read this fic. it's a city on the edge of forever fic that is mostly a jim character study but pulls in queer history. it breathes compassion and humanity, and is stocked with OCs you'll fall in love with. another ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ read

Shall We? by Jenna Hilary Sinclair (JennaHilary) (TOS) - yet another comedy entry? what has the world come to? i love my angst just as much as the next spirk truther, but when comedic spirk is done right it hits perfectly and this one is definitely done right

And When the Bond Breaks by LadyRa (TOS) - finishing this spirk list with a final ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ read. this became easily one of my favorite TOS fics of all time. it's from 2003 and deserves WAY MORE hits, kudos, and comments than it has!

for the non-spirk entries this time around:

StarDate.org by Exxact (TOS/AOS fusion) - christine/t'pring and online dating. fluff and friendship. perfect

The Time of Neither by gunstreet (SNW) - spoimler nation rise! your definitive fic has arrived!

My World Is No Longer Hollow by existentialcrisistime @existentialcrisistime (TOS) - a mcspirk fic about finding where you belong. so beautiful

and two recs for WIPs for you to read and subscribe to:

Place Your Hand In Mine by remylebae @twinkboimler (AOS) - a super sweet mckirk fic about leonard having a secret admirer (who could it possibly be??)

It's Not An Illusion by Borealisblue @thetimetostrikeislater (AOS) - gorgeous story about healing and gorgeous artwork? i'm sold!

please do send me recs, and don't be afraid to self-promo! you can find all my recs here

[illegalpaladin]

Can I ask for Kirk as a trophy wife (husband)? Like, he accompanies Spock to Vulcan and people treat him... not disrespectfully, but like he's Spock's himbo, and maybe like he's supposed to be obedient/ just sit there and look pretty?

(If you feel like taking the nsfw route and having Kirk realize he's very Into It, in a "maybe I wanna be a pretty submissive in our bedroom too", it's very welcome, but only if you're comfortable with that of course)

So this request completely consumed my life. It turned into an almost 10k very NSFW Spirk fic. Here's the link:

And here's a sneak peek:

[orang3cat75]

I need a fanfic where Jim is so exhausted from a mission that when he leaves to his quarters, not even intending to sleep. just "rest." he falls onto his bed, curls up, and naps just right then in his uniform. Spock is doing sciencey stuff, idk man and then he senses small discomfort over thier bond because kirks like in his fucking boots and shit still, like communicator still clipped to his pants. He's very engrossed in his science so he attempts to dismiss it but only for like a millisecond then he immediately B-lines it to kirks quarters and he gets there and sees him and is like "hm..." Then he just like picks him up and re-dresses him in starfleet pajamas before tucking him in with vulcan-like precision. Very much not the most logical option, but it's his. Kirk then sleeps very soundly.

[totally-not-a-burner]

Hey everyone, so about two or so years ago I transcribed the entirety of The Ring of Soshern by J. Guttridge from an old PDF of the Alien Brothers publication. I still have it, I posted it on Ao3 (where it was immediatly taken down for copyright infringement) and then never did anything with it again.

Anyways, here’s the link to the random Google doc I did it in. Pls nobody send the police after me, I’m just posting this as an option for anybody who didn’t want to have to mess around with pdf copies, and just want something easily readable.

Enjoy :3

[msbonnibelbubblegum]

Made a title card for act I of my Spirk fic, yet another shameless plug. Alien planets, spaceship crashes, thunderstorms, hurt/comfort, oh my!

Just posted Chapter 3, look forward to Chapter 4 next week 🖖

🎨 NEW ARTWORKS! 🎨

I’ve recently been creating some art for the lovely @android-and-ale and her amazing ongoing long fic One Daily Should Pat.

The story has some amazing descriptions of the sexy and mysterious Vulcan crew so I decided to draw the enigmatic Captain Spisee! 🖖

(Been working on my realism skills, hope you enjoy) 😉

I’ve also recently created a cover art for the fic too.

[binerd24]

Hey does anybody have any good Spirk fic where Kirk is just doing something completely unremarkable, but very concerning/seductive/flirty by vulcan standards and Spock is just quietly loosing his mind in the backround?

ok so i just finished my book cover for First, Best Destiny - Part 1 by the amazing @ophelia-j !!

admittedly i was going to wait until i actually attached the text block to the cover before i posted this haha, but i was SO excited after making this cover that i decided to just post it and then update with the finished product later!!

this book is absolutely embedded in my soul, and words cannot even describe how gorgeously it’s written. it’s a book that made me realize - hey, the adventure doesn’t end as you grow old.

you can read it here. i promise you won’t regret it!!!

anyways!!! here’s all of my other bookbinding steps for anyone interested.

cam’s somewhat incomplete bookbinding guide

please note that i am an AMATEUR hobbyist. please do not actually use this as a tutorial.

oh also!! bookbinding terminology will have a * by it which will be explained at the end in order to make this flow better. i’ll also link the tutorials i used at the end of this for anyone interested.

1) Formatting the document! I downloaded the original text as a PDF, and then designed a cover page, grabbed some art from the internet (i know, frowned upon, but this is just a personal copy so it is what it is), and then designed a table of contents and chapter icons!!

*side note! i added which episodes each chapter follows to the table of contents (pictured below) as this book was written as an accompaniment to TOS and the movies.

2) Next, I printed out all NINE HUNDRED PAGES??? admittedly i could have done it in less if I’d used a bigger page size, but sending things out to be printed is expensive so we made do. after printing, i folded them into signatures*.

*there’s an additional note about the paper i used at the end

3) punching out holes in all the signatures! although not technically necessary, I honestly don’t think i would’ve been able to sew this behemoth without doing it.

4) sewing the pages into a real!! actual!! book!! this was the part i was most nervous about. i’ve NEVER attempted to sew anywhere near this large of a book before, so i tried out a new method of sewing in hopes of making it a bit more sturdy. we won’t know if it worked until this book endures some wear and tear, but i’m pretty optimistic!

5) next up is glueing the spine! this is where it really hit me that a lot of bookbinding is just…glueing shit together. later i also added cardstock to the spine in hopes of helping it adhere to the cover better, and a book headband* for decoration.

5) now we’re onto the book cover!! they only sell bookboard in minor bulk around here, so we’re not even gonna discuss how much bookboard i now own… anyways! i glued the faux leather onto the bookboard and then let that dry.

6) last up! off to the cricket! a huge thank you to my friend for letting me borrow her cricket AND supplies! anywho, this is where i designed my cover art. i then adhered the design to the cover. after this step, i realized i…definitely need some kind of sealant - so, if any more seasoned bookbinders have suggestions for this i am all ears!!

all in all, this was a super fun project, and a great way to kill some time while i recover from surgery! i absolutely plan to bind the sequel at some point, but that may be a…ways away. i’m a STEM major and school starts back up soon so…time will be in short supply lol!

To be continued...

Terminology

*signature: group of sheets folded in half, to be worked into the binding as a unit.

*book headband: just look up a picture if you’re curious because tumblr says i can't add any more pictures lol.

*about the paper!! i actually got it from a local specialty paper store, but if you want something similar i've heard amazon has some good bookbinding alternatives!

Tutorials

please PLEASE go check out Jess Less on youtube. she's phenomenal. here are her vids and what i used them for.

don't laugh!! i actually stole MOST of my techniques straight from this video.

i used this one to help me format the book correctly! although i still ended up with some goofs haha (see: any pages on the left side have the page number in the margin LMAO).

Best of TOS Spirk (Pt. 1)

TOS Spirk is my favorite form of Spirk, there's just something so nice about the domesticity... the unspoken tension... and the vibes are impeccable.

I don't know how to classify these fics, but they're just of a really specific genre of classy.

Movable Levels (TOS, 3222 words) by jedusaur

Jim is looking forward to rolling into bed after a nice relaxing game of chess when Spock decides to conclude the evening by announcing, "There is a 71.936 percent chance that I will develop romantic regard for you during the period spanning ten months from the present moment and four years, two months and fifteen days from the present moment."

I [43M] wish to tell my friend [40M] that it’d be logical for us to get married. (TOS, 2465 words) by Smile_Edgeworth

Spock shares a list of reasons why his friend Kirk should accept to marry him.

r/Relationships post.

due consideration (TOS, 2465 words) by tciddaemina

Spock comes to the realization that he is in love with Captain Kirk three point six minutes after the landing party returns from the mission on Taelmaa I. Jim claps Spock on the shoulder as he passes, a there and gone again moment of pressure, eyes meeting in a silent affirmation of question and answer as Jim shoots him a glance and Spock raises an eyebrow in return. Jim nods, heading out the door a moment later, chivying the rest of the away party along with him as he does.

Fulfilling the Needs of the One (Or the Both) (TOS, 8741 words) by plaidshirtjimkirk

Spock begins to wonder if his relationship with Jim has been one-sided in his own favor.

An old married Spirk fic written for the K/S Valentine Calendar. This story actually started and evolved from this anonymous writing prompt on tumblr: "Old Married Spirk where Jim teaches classes at Starfleet and Spock is an ambassador. Spock goes to visit Jim in his office and finds a student with a bit of a teacher kink being a bit too forward with Jim. Spock finds a streak of possessiveness he didn't know he had."

It's Only Art (if it makes you feel something) (TOS, 24231 words) by Wrath_of_Bones

A story about finding your muse, of being someone else's, the importance of seeing what's in front of you, and doing things the hard way.

A story about the world, just a little more lovely.

Without Words (TOS, 13930 words) by plaidshirtjimkirk

When Jim can't decide how to tell Spock how much he's loved, he says it without words.

Enjoy!
