#sarek star trek

Amanda was sitting in the shuttle preparing to land on Vulcan. She could not believe that she was actually being granted this opportunity to study Vulcan culture. With access to records and interviews.

This is truly a historic occasion for human anthropology efforts. I absolutely can NOT mess this up. My professor is relying on me. The institute is relying on me. Looking out the window. She observed the orange tinted sky stretching as far as her eyes could see and the dusty red desert shimmering with heat.

Amanda did a quick check of all her belongings. Even though she had already checked five times before her departure. She just had to make absolutely sure that everything she needed was there. Even though she could always send for something that was left behind. Amanda has always preferred to be well organized. And never unprepared for the unexpected.

It gave her great anxiety to be in a situation where she could do absolutely nothing. So she swore a long time ago that she would think out exactly what she needed.

A thump alerted Amanda to the landing of the shuttle. Looking up quickly, she saw the pilot flicking his fingers across the control panel.

"We have landed. Prepare to unbuckle and step out." The pilot stated in an emotionless tone. Amanda began to gather her things up and looked out the shuttle window. The sand was a bright red. There was a clear shimmer of heat that rested above the desert floor. Looking more hot here than it did from above.

Amanda steps out onto the course sand. She raises her right hand to her forehead to shield her eyes from the intense Vulcan sun. Her eyes adjusting to the brightness. Amanda sees a Vulcan male standing five feet in front of her.

"You are Amanda Grayson, the human linguistics professor from earth?" He states in a manner that is a question but is in actuality a statement of fact.

Amanda breaths in nervously. She had not expected the Vulcan ambassador to be so attractive. "Yes." She confirms. "You are ambassador Sarek correct?"

"Yes." He nods "Your living arrangements and office is this way. I shall show you to them." He moves to pick up her luggage. "You don't have to do that. I can handle it on my own." Amanda blushes fiercely.

"It is no burden." Sarek assures her. "Vulcan is much hotter than your Earth. Our gravity is much stronger also. It is only logical that I assist you in carrying your belongings to your accommodations."

“I suppose so.” Amanda replies embarrassed.

Sarek gives a slight nod. Then picks up her luggage and turns to walk in the direction of her apparent new home.

Amanda stands there and stares at him. Watching him walk away until he turns his head and looks back at her. Raising an eyebrow in question. 

With a jolt she realizes that she should be following him. Falling into step behind him. Amanda thinks to herself that this is going to be a very interesting mission.

as previously established, everyone was having The Worst Day in journey to babel, but bones surely did reap his favorite rewards

however much they're paying chapel, it's not enough

I feel deprived that we never saw these two meet, though they likely crossed paths at some point in their careers.

human things I think Vulcans would be good at:

getting a return processed at Target

COVID compliance

birdwatching, but for like. algae and slugs and stuff. (they’re too advanced for just birds)

dealing with medical negligence

online shopping (they have 2k tabs open at all times)

marketplace bartering (in any locale)

elementary school riddles (green glass door, etc.)

starting underground rainbow loom empires (adult or child, doesn’t matter)

cutthroat pitchfork reviews

letterboxd (rating film by various, limited metrics? they consider it humanity’s greatest contribution in eons; one of the reasons they make first contact)

writing unhinged YouTube comments

patiently discovering, and reviewing, each ending of a choose-your-own-adventure book

you may add your own

Sarek confronting Kirk about Spock’s missing katra

[novice-crow]

I'm not the first, and with out a doubt not the last, but I edited Amanda and Sarek into a bunch of vintage paintings/illustrations your welcome. (I made way too many but whatever lol)

The Whitman's add is my favorite but I think all of them turned out pretty okay.

Sarek secretly has an alert set up that lets him know whenever McCoy publishes a paper so he can read it immediately. An anonymous Vulcan always writes in to the journals to critique and (sometimes) praise McCoy’s papers and McCoy keeps accusing Spock of making fun of him, but Spock genuinely has no idea because it’s his dad doing it. Sarek shows up on the Enterprise once again and manages to start a conversation about like four of the topics Bones has published papers on, and Bones still doesn’t figure it out.

and they’re all autistic

So funny how Spock is like "affection is alien to me, love is unobtainable, I have no idea how I would ever approach a woman" and then you see his parents and their comfortable open PDA, that is the first FIRST thing you see about Sarek and Amanda. It just really puts into perspective how broken and queer Spock really is. Bro is FUCKED up. Spock my black metal queen

My Amanda/Sarek fic is finally done!!!

This took me so much longer than I expected, so thank you to anyone who has stuck with it! It’s been fun to try to get in their heads and explore a slightly different angle of Star Trek!

In this last chapter I couldn’t resist a reference to my favorite Diane Duane quote… I’m sure you’ll all spot it immediately 😉

Enjoy!!

imagine being average federation citizen doing a wikipedia dive on Amanda Grayson for like a book report or whatever and you click on “spouse” and it links you to a guy who was thee vulcan ambassador to earth for like 200 years and publicly called the klingon ambassador a murderer once and you think huh neat and click on “children” and the first person listed is described as “career criminal, activist and religious evangelist” with a rap sheet as long as your arm ending with him taking the entire government hostage in nimbus iii and then no death date he's just listed as “missing” and the second kid is a starfleet science hero you've seen on the poster of like 7 different documentaries on space netflix and you notice his year of death is listed as 2285 but “years active” goes on like 100 years past that and also he's apparently the reason earth isn't completely underwater right now? then you read his sister's article and it's all “starfleet's first mutineer” “blamed for starting the first federation-klingon war” “lauded for ending the first federation-klingon war” but is weirdly vague on what happened to her after that and the article is edit locked and her year of death has like 6 annotations attached to it

i love how vulcans conveniently all decided to ignore the fact that annoyance is also an emotion
