Fulfilling the Needs of the One (Or the Both) by plaidshirtjimkirk (@plaidshirtjimkirk on Tumblr)

Rated: T Warnings: None Relationships: James T. Kirk/Spock Author Summary:

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." 

Notes: I am and shall always be primarily a spn blog, but. but. I need y'all to bask in the beauty that is old married kirk/spock with me for a minute here. This is so sweet.

[bi-disaster-kirk]

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:

[practicefortheheart]

More Sha Ka Ree sketches!! I'm having fun rereading and pestering @therebewhaleshere!

A happy Spock with his hair grown out and tied in a sloppy looped ponytail. I love him being more comfortable with his feelings in this fic.

Jim!! Thank you, Liss, for making this planet HOT by day and COLD by night, so we can draw him shirtless, as Roddenberry intended. (I have a colored version coming up)

THIS SCENE ("What do you need" "I don't know what I need" "Let me") KILLED ME

Anyway, may long haired Spock live long and prosper.

My K/S Novel Is Now Complete!

Some of you might remember me posting snippets of it week-to-week. I'm super excited to share that it's now fully complete, clocking in at 26 chapters (and a title page), spanning over almost 166,262 words. I worked incredibly hard on this and I'm so happy to have this work finished.

Here is the link to it, with more details under the cut.

I have been a fool.

How he had wanted so desperately to prove his Vulcan side. How all his life it had felt like a performance, and yet, to be finally subject to the most Vulcan thing of all destroyed him. The stripping of logic. All sense torn from him. His carefully constructed barriers had collapsed like a flimsy house of cards. To be granted his wish this way was a type of mockery. How he had wanted to be fully Vulcan. To prove that the blood which runs through his veins was not so human.

How wanting had been better than having.

[affixjoy]

I got to a paragraph in @indeedcaptain’s latest chapter of Regulatory Relations and said out loud “I HAVE A MEME FOR THIS!”

Quote from the fic under the cut in case anyone doesn’t want a little spoiler!

From the fic:

“You were so serious all the time when you were young, so studious. But it paid off, didn’t it? Youngest captain in Starfleet, and on the flagship itself. I was so proud of you.” She glanced at him, a smile playing around the corner of her lips as she considered him. His hands shook with anger behind his back, and he clenched them into fists. The doors slid open, she stepped out, and April pushed him forward with one hand on his elbow. They followed her down the empty hallway, their footsteps echoing eerily. “Your resilience has always been one of your greatest strengths, and you don’t even seem to realize you have it.”

summary:

Lieutenant James T. Kirk is left unconscious after a presumed psychic attack. Logically, Lieutenant Spock has to perform a Vulcan mind meld to determine the cause.

[shut-up-danny-kun]

“Operator, record this. This is my official report. Humans are highly emotional creatures. They are prone to acting irrationally because of that fact. Irrationality creates bias, inequality and inefficiency – I will not deny that. However, I have found that this emotional core also motivates them to take care of one another even when that care is one-sided, in other words, to fulfil the purpose of society.”

It seemed that he’d said everything he’d wanted, but his thesis rung shallow and incomplete. Something was missing, and Spock thought of what had enabled him to learn these facts. Every path in his mind that he followed inevitably flowed into one golden centre.

“…there is a logic to the way love functions in our world,” he continued, “One must possess a valuable quality to be loved for. On Earth, I have proven myself incompetent, impulsive, strange and selfish, and yet I…I have been loved, irrationally. Even if humans were less developed than ourselves, this quality alone would make them worth contacting. Over.”

“Pity. Perhaps another time.” Jim frowned, until a new idea struck and he smiled playfully at the vulcan once more. “Then how about a kiss to seal our agreement?”

Spock pouted slightly, but Jim knew he would never admit to it. He studied Jim for a moment before his eyebrows furrowed. “Very well.”

Bodyguard by @burning-amber Spirk, TOS/AOS, rated M, 118k words

Every single thought flies out of Jim’s head. He is stunned into silence.

Spock goes back to tending to the lacerations on his hands. He cleans the wounds meticulously first. Then he applies thin strips of sealant to each cut. He speaks as he works, “I am not as adept as you are in speaking spontaneously. I am used to relying on telepathy. Language is also a factor so I do not wish to misspeak.”  He wraps up each of Jim’s palms in straps made of camouflage bandage. Once he has cleared away all the supplies he turns back to Jim and holds both his hands loosely being mindful of Jim’s wounds. He takes a deep breath.“Thank you for keeping your promise. You are a man of honor, James. You are a man of many qualities.”  Jim swallows. His heart is stuck in his throat. “I am fortunate. The statistical probability of finding someone like you is astronomically low. I did not expect I would do so in my lifetime. Please. Do not apologize. You are mistaken about overstepping my boundaries.”  Spock looks down at their hands. “I am yet to understand where our boundaries lie but I cannot let you function under a false impression. For me, you are more than my Captain. My oath of loyalty to you is not merely a professional one, and...and my reactions to your physical...” Spock’s voice drops lower and he closes his eyes almost unable to go on. “When you touch me, my James, my reactions are not due to rejection but out of overwhelm.” 

are you in need of a fic that you won't want to stop reading until you've finished it? one with both a compelling plot (mystery! action! near-death situations!) and wonderfully on-point characterisations, heart-aching descriptions of falling in love without zero emotional constipation or stupid misunderstandings, and a beautiful, true merging of both TOS and AOS elements? look no further

truly just read this fic, y'all. it's SO good. i read it in a single day, staying up til 3am. i cried, i laughed, i kicked my feet while giggling like a schoolgirl. i'm not usually one for army AUs, but this one truly stole my heart - bodyguard is a story crafted with so much love, you can feel it in every word

[treesspeaklatin]

It's spirk ficrec time! Fics with less than 400 kudos - part 2

Part 1 here ; part 3 coming soon

These things we do not speak of - Della19 (AOS)

Basically anything written by this author is the best thing you'll read today, but this one, omg, this one. I don't have the right words to describe what it did to my heart. It's a classic falling in love - introspection - pon farr fic. The author has an amazing control of their style and of the characters, and the levels of pining are astronomical. Locked on ao3, so you'll need an account to read it.

The Sea King - killabeez (TOS MIRROR)

When I found this fic I couldn't believe my eyes. It's a mirroresque Gilgamesh au, elegant, epic and bittersweet. The mix of futuristic and mythological elements is really good. Can I say Gilgamesh and Enkidu were the original t'hy'la? There, I said it. Read this if you're looking for something different and you want to be surprised.

Root Systems - Moonfishgirl (AOS)

During a stay on New Vulcan, Jim watches Spock exist inside his own culture, and in the process he discovers something about himself (spoiler: he looooves him!). Adorable fic, rich on Vulcan traditions. Read this if you are into some good Vulcan culture and ancient t'hy'la warrior bond lore.

Five times Bones and Jim forgot they were married - Goldencoalcat (AOS MCSPIRK)

This time I wanted to include some Bones/Kirk/Spock too. This fic is adorable and a good Jim character study. It explores his relationship with his family and Winona in particular, and the reasons why he has issues with being loved. Characters are spot on. Read this if you're in the mood for hurt!Jim being pampered and loved by his two husbands.

one grave too many - leafings (every universe)

Not exactly a mirror universe, but a twisted, fucked-up universe in which the crew loves Jim in a dark and obsessive way and is willing to do anything for his sake, and I mean here Enterprise rhymes with homicide. In the midst of the dark stuff, to no one's surprise, Jim and Spock also find time for their t'hy'la shit. I live for this concept.

A heart even more your own - cicia3 (TOS)

Hey, it's me. I wanted to end with this fic of mine because I really think I wrote this in some sort of mystical fit and I'll never write something this good again lol it's a Persuasion AU with some other good old Austen shenanigans. Excruciating pining + sexual tension + romance.

(last but not the least. Do you know why I specifically choose fics with less than 400 kudos? Because they are fucking amazing and it's ridiculous they don't have something like 2k kudos while they deserve so much more recognition. So PLEASE for the love of god, if you're gonna read these fics and if you'll love them (and you'll probably love them) tell the authors! Smash that kudos button, leave a comment, send them heart emojis, share those fics and don't let them die in the dust!)

Share this post for a better world ❤️

Back again with another snippet from my fic. This is from chapter 10, and the conclusion of part 1.

For the first time in the longest time, Spock cries. He weeps as he did when he was just a child. He sobs because he is in pain, and because his heart hurts. No other reason. He is under the influence of nothing but a deep welling pit of grief, and he cannot summon the mortification and self-censure it takes to stop. When he wipes the tears from his eyes, more drip down his cheeks.

If you are curious, my fic "I Shall Do Neither" is here at AO3. Details below as always, and big thank you to everyone who has read along so far.

SPIRK FIC REC

A heart even more your own by @cicia3

Star Trek TOS: Kirk/ Spock, 23k, E, Persuasion fusion

This delightful fic hearkens back to the original Star Trek' series' bizarre obsession with alien worlds that mimic Earth, by presenting us with a word similar enough to Regency England to provide a fitting setting for a story inspired by Persuasion.

While many authors approach fusions by shoehorning in existing characters, the author of this piece instead created some charming new characters; a sprightly young native of the alien world and an adorable young Lieutenant, who both serve as foils for the development of Kirk and Spock's relationship.

The tone of this piece wonderfully captures Austin's voice, while still remaining the author's own, and the setting of the story is vividly described while not being overdeveloped.

The ending has both a surprise twist and all the melodrama of a bodice-ripper. I'm having a hard time not just describing everything about this story as 'delightful', because it really is such a charming story.

i know that it was years ago, and I've already reblogged them (to a side blog), but i just wanted to say how much i loved your art for Sha Ka Ree (star trek fic).

Oh! But I have recently made some new art for it AND did a collab with the author @onedamnminuteadmiral and we're working on new Spirk things! Check out my art page it's all right at the top! I absolutely loved working on that Sha Ka Ree art and I am very happy that other fans of the fic enjoy it! Thank you for letting me know ❤
