Never and Always, Holding and Held (TOS, 5526 words) by Bibarian

warm (TOS, 2014 words) by Sir_Bedevere

"You're going to look after me?" Jim said, suddenly a little shy. Jim Kirk, shy? He must be more tired than he thought.

After a tough day in the field, Jim is feeling more than a little overwhelmed when Spock offers to help him through it.

Home Renovation (TOS, 5581 words) by noodleinabarrel

You're the Area 51 For Me. (AOS, 3807 words) by Meanderingthrough

Spock Greyson is an alien. Why won't anyone acknowledge this but Jim? Spock Greyson can not be human. Between the ridiculously good grades, the shiny hair, and the dexterous fingers that Jim just knows have an extra alien joint in them, there is no conceivable way that Spock Greyson could be anything but extra terrestrial. Jim is going to prove it.

Eye of the Beholder (TOS, 6152 words) by WeirdLittleStories

Vulcans have very different standards of beauty than humans do, but it truly doesn't matter to Spock that Kirk is physically ugly by Vulcan standards, since Kirk's mind and character are so very beautiful. And as time goes on, Spock finds that love begins to work a sort of magic...

It's Not An Illusion (AOS, 118714 words) by Borealisblue

The Enterprise comes across a mysterious planet with a series of caves that manifest copies of loved ones. These copies are taken from a person’s mind to allow them to confront and heal the turmoil in their heart.

Jim is shocked when a copy of Spock shows up professing love for him and while he had never considered falling in love with his first officer, this copy allows him to explore the possibility. The real Spock would never have to know. The copy’s touch is electric and his body is warm and inviting, there’s just one problem, Jim doesn’t realize, it’s not a copy.

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

Happy Reading!

—M

[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:

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)

[jennelikejennay]

The Philon Awards have crept up on me; I really thought we had more time! Nominations are due July 31st, so I'm hunting through my bookmarks to see what to nominate.

This isn't a final decision, but here are a few fics (including mine) that I think are worth considering. I clearly need to read more in some categories and choose among my favorites for others.

Short fic (1-5k)

Vulcan's bridle (my fic)

In which Vulcans wear special jewelry and Spock wants to have feelings-free sex.

HOWL

Werewolf and vampire. Nuff said.

Wheat fields and old dirt roads

Jim and Spock at the old Kirk farm

Medium fic (5-10k)

A Little Human Emotionality (my fic)

Spock pretends he isn't into sex but he's actually dripping for it

Long fic (10-20k)

thrum, a sonata in three movements

epic, showstopping, wonderful. A reflection on Spock's human and Vulcan sides, his emotion and logic, his telepathy, all themed around a piece of music. And there's sex through a wall.

river guard

What if Jim instead of Leila had been with Spock on the sex pollen planet? This thing is just richly sensory and gorgeous.

Lectures in Vulcan Poetry

Spock teaches a class on Vulcan poetry and it's super hot.

Honest Thoughts of the Sea

Just lust and yearning nonstop. Spock's inner conflict.

Novella (20-50k)

All my nerves are naked wires (my fic)

I just published this so I don't think it has any chance, but it's my sentinelverse fic.

long you live and high you fly

Spock brings Kirk home to meet his parents, and Kirk has no idea he's even in the running for boyfriend.

Novel (50k+)

Silent Star (my fic)

If you nominate one thing of mine, please choose this. It's my best work this year, during a year when I wrote much less than last year. In which Spock is a prince and Jim is struggling in a newly post-WWIII world...and they do a you've-got-mail situation over online chess.

This First Sharp Taste

Crime and human trafficking on a colony world. Jim's a sex worker, Spock's a cop.

The Survivor's Guide to Hungry Ghosts

Spock deals with a massive telepathic injury while his friends struggle to support him.

I'll have to do some work to find art, podfic, poetry, etc. for the other categories, because so far I don't have anything collected. But here's a starting reading list for fics!

[spirkme915]

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

[celestialvoyeur]

💛💙SPIRK FIC REC - MY FAVOURITES💙💛

As a follow up to my recent post about how few fics make it to my favourites list, and how special they are to achieve that distinction, I decided to share my current list.

I’ve shared some of these individually in the past but here you’ll have them all together. 

If you've read any of these already then I'd love to hear your thoughts on whether you loved them as much as I did! 🥰

(NB: these are not listed in any order of preference. Mostly it’s the reverse order in which I read them)

Leave No Soul Behind by whochick Words: 258,951

AOS, AU Canon-Divergence. Spock, Kirk and the other valiant members of the Emergency Personnel Ambulance Service fight to save lives and turn the tide of the ongoing war against Nero and his fleet before it’s too late. Such a beautiful slow burn for Spock and Kirk.

Atlas by distractedKat Words: 135,529

AOS. Follow on from 2009, Kirk, Spock and the rest deal with the aftermath of Nero’s attack and rebuilding after the decimation of the ‘Fleet and Academy. An exciting tale with twists and turns involving black ops, bad-mirals, action, love and fierce loyalty.

The Lotus Eaters by aldora89 Words: 93,594

AOS. Stranded on a planet together, with multiple dangers and very little hope of rescue, Jim and Spock have no choice but to rely on each other to survive. Spectacular plot, amazing world building, fabulous original character and an epic slow burn Spirk love story!

With Your Feet on the Air and Your Head on the Ground by flippyspoon Words: 39,188 @flippyspoon

SNW. A phenomenal Spirk fic in which Kirk is stuck in Spock's mind while the crew work to find a way to retrieve his body. A wonderful getting to know you/falling for you hard tale. Wonderfully written and highly entertaining.

Evolution by Rhaegal (RhaegalKS) Words: 149,293

AOS. Covering the first year of their 5 year mission, this is totally flawless. The character voices are perfection, the prose spectacular. The whole thing plays like an AOS movie. It’s phenomenal.

Emotions by LadyRa Words: 35,569

TOS. Spock gets drugged on a shore leave and is overwhelmed with its effects. Kirk tries to pick up the pieces. A beautiful, and wonderfully grounded, story of realising how much they mean to each other.

And When the Bond Breaks by LadyRa Words: 24,631

TOS. Spock takes out a shuttle to investigate an anomaly and returns to an Enterprise that’s not his own. Time travel shenanigans with such emotional depth that it will traumatise you in the best way. Stunningly good!

All Our Tomorrows Come Today by flippyspoon Words: 18,156 @flippyspoon

SNW. A newly introduced Jim and Spock accidentally get a glimpse into the future and see what they’re going to be to each other (a.k.a. Spirk’s Greatest Hits). A stunningly told story about finding the great love of your life. 

I Won't Make That Mistake Again by Moreta1848 Words: 69,402 @jennelikejennay

SNW/TOS. An epic story detailing Spock and Kirk’s love throughout their lives, beginning from their meeting on Pike’s Enterprise (SNW) and continuing on to an eventual  Generations fix-it happy ending. Wonderful!

No Going Back, No Before by spirkme Words: 78,486 @spirkme915

SNW/TOS. Timeline shenanigans, spies, twists & turns, pining, angst, sacrifice and so so much love!

The 1,000 Hour Sleep by spqr Words: 27,227

SNW. Jim’s been infected with a pathogen that means he can’t sleep, but it he doesn’t he’ll die. Cue Spock and his Vulcan telepathy helping Jim to achieve the sleep he needs, while they get to know each other within their shared mindscapes. A sweet and exciting story about falling in love and overcoming your own inner demons.

First Best Destiny by Ophelia_j Words: 387,733

TOS/TNG. Such a very special fic. Epic in its scope, it covers the entire timeline of Spirk from their very first meeting through to a  clever and satisfying Generations fix-it ending. It provides extra scenes, additional dialogue and internal monologues to expand on existing canon in a really compelling and effective way. Truly this is my new TOS canon.

The Steadfastness of Stars by itsnatalie Words: 61,566

AOS. After Beyond, The crew investigate sudden climate change on a frozen planet and find more than they bargained for. The perfect mix of great plot, fun original characters, action, mystery, world building and deep deep love.

Let Forever Be by gunstreet Words: 43,446 @gunstreet

TOS. A really compelling character study of James T. Kirk. An excellent companion piece to City on the Edge of Forever. Exploring what Jim and Spock got up to, and all they had to overcome, while trying to find Bones and their way back home.

Time After Time by spaceisgay (ChancellorGriffin) Words: 138,921

SNW. Kirk spends a 6 month rotation on the Enterprise as part of his command training. OK, if there’s a favourite of my favourites then this may be it. It’s such a stunning version of their love story, with a beautifully constructed plot. It runs the emotional gamut from moments that will have you laughing out loud to moments that will have you in floods of tears. 

milk and honey by spaceisgay (ChancellorGriffin) Words: 28,651

SNW. Kirk and Spock meet for the first time when they wake up in a prison cell together. A really fun, and extremely clever, version of the ‘aliens made them do it’ trope. It’s intriguing and funny with a real depth of feeling throughout.

The Promised Land by gunstreet Words: 58,260 @gunstreet

TOS. A story that explores the time Jim and Spock spent apart between the end of the 5 year mission and TMP. It’s a beautiful story of reunion and renewal of love. Sometimes achingly sad, but it’s worth it for the happy ending.

Again, if you've read any of these already then I'd love to hear your thoughts on whether you loved them as much as I did! 🥰

[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.

[tosthylafics]

Super long list, so this is great! If any fics have a link to the ksarchive, try searching for it by title or author on AO3. The majority of ksarchive works were moved (with much gratitude for that hard work) to AO3 in 2022.

Star Trek - Spirk - Fic Rec List

Hello, I decided to make a list of my favorite Spirk/Space Husbands fanfiction. I’m not sure how many fanfiction there are in this list but I’d guess at least a hundred. (it took up 33 pages in MS word) Edit: 142 stories and counting.

I’ve tried to label them as either AOS(reboot movies), TOS (60’s show), or AU. I’ve also clearly labeled all the mpreg ones because I know so readers don’t like them, so just skip those and enjoy the rest :) If you notice anything I’ve mislabeled please let me know so I can fix it.

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 Shall Do Neither (166262 words) by onwhatcaptain Chapters: 27/27

Fandom: Star Trek: The Original Series, Star Trek Rating: Mature Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings Relationships: James T. Kirk/Spock, James T.

When T’Pau tells Spock to live long and prosper, he knows he shall do neither. This is a story about men who love each other, and the lengths they will go to for one another. - Foolish, he thinks. 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.

2024 Spirk Fic Year In Review

After a five year dry spell, I finally started writing again in late 2023. Creating fanfic has been a shock and a joy to me this year. It's incredible going into 2025 once more feeling confident in my ability to assemble words into sentences.

This year I added another 50K words to One Daily Shoulder Pat, posted 12 short stories (complete fics under 10K words), wrote my first Spirk poem, and created some very special pasta art.

It's interesting to look back and see trends in my own work. This has been a year of ridiculous Vulcan names, bemusingly wholesome dirty talk, and flipping the script on reliable tropes.

Here's a list of links to all of it. If you're following me for One Daily Shoulder Pat, I humbly invite you to take a peek at some of my short work to hold you over while waiting for new chapters.

[spirk-fic-recs]

Hii Do you have any recs for idk just them being romantic and cute and the process of them falling in love?? (Please be for Teen and up audiences and TOS) (⁠✿⁠^⁠‿⁠^⁠)

Hey Nonny! That kind of thing is just my jam! I probably have dozens of recs, so hold on tight as I list them all HAHA. I'll try to list some lesser known ones as well, but ones that deserve ALL the love. These will mostly be G to T, but I will indicate if they are M or E rated so that you can avoid them.

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.

In the Interest of Clarity (TOS, 2321 words) by aegis_scientiae

It started as a joke—just a casual “thank you, dear” tossed Spock’s way during a routine shift. A quirk of speech, a slip of the tongue. James T. Kirk didn’t mean anything by it. Really. But then it happened again. And again. Until half the crew had a spreadsheet, the other half had a betting pool, and Spock had a problem no amount of Vulcan composure could entirely suppress. Now Kirk has to face the consequences of his unconscious affection. Spock, as always, would simply like some clarity. Possibly dinner.

And He Led the Flock Through the Desert (TOS, 28382 words) by Ollie Aster (USS_Genderprise)

Kirk crash-lands on an alien planet, and is found by Spock, a native of said planet.

1, 2, 3, 4 I Declare A Pinch War (TOS, 2373 words) by Little_dove_big_world (Diamond_Dove)

He looked into Spock's eyes, his face so close Spock could almost not focus on it. Jim's hot hand cupped his cheek. “You are amazing,” he said. Spock's eyes felt hot and there was a lump in his throat. “Thank you,” he said, his voice rough. Jim smiled indulgently. He closed his eyes. “I'm ready for sleep now if you are.” Spock nodded. He brought shaking hands to Jim's neck and pressed.

warm (TOS, 2014 words) by Sir_Bedevere

"You're going to look after me?" Jim said, suddenly a little shy. Jim Kirk, shy? He must be more tired than he thought. "Come," Spock said, turning on his heel and leading the way to the bathroom. "I will administer to your needs." After a tough day in the field, Jim is feeling more than a little overwhelmed when Spock offers to help him through it.

Spock's bangs (TOS, 1702 words) by kotekru

Spock likes to keep his hair neat and trimmed to perfection, so after a long away mission he locks himself in his bathroom to cut his hair. Enter stage left: Jim. What happens will shock you!

Ten Things I (Love) About You (TOS, 9426 words) by ItinerantAvthor

Spock finds a torn page in Kirk's quarters titled "10 Things I ___e About Spock." Misunderstanding the note, Spock endeavors to behave exactly opposite of the Captain's list. Now if only things will go back to normal between them.

just a human (TOS, 3137 words) by rhapsodicalfreddie

Proposal: prospect of selecting the captain (James T. Kirk) as mate, by Commander S’chn T’gai Spock.

A Rose By Any Other Name (TOS/AOS, 3458 words) by GenericUsername01

The next day, Jim found a red tulip and a lilac waiting for him, both of which meant the same thing. Declaration of love. He didn’t hesitate. He had gone through that book enough times that he knew exactly what plant he wanted to respond with. He bolted out to the greenhouse and started searching for a red rose and a honey flower. Romantic love, a love sweet and secret. He laid them down on top of the book with a kiss.

A Logical Confession (TOS, 1492 words) by falsepremise

Spock confesses his love to Jim, in his own logical way.

Eye of the Beholder (TOS, 6152 words) by WeirdLittleStories

Vulcans have very different standards of beauty than humans do, but it truly doesn't matter to Spock that Kirk is physically ugly by Vulcan standards, since Kirk's mind and character are so very beautiful. And as time goes on, Spock finds that love begins to work a sort of magic…

How Can I Say I Love You When Words Are Not Enough? (TOS, 5906 words) by sourirenoire

The five love languages are meant to communicate feelings of love and affection between people. Unfortunately for Spock, the universal translator won't work on these languages - he'll have to spell it out for his clueless captain. Five times that Spock showed his romantic intentions, and one time Jim showed them back.

this and that of you (TOS, 1500 words) by schweet_heart

In which Captain Kirk attempts to seduce a Vulcan, and Spock is confused. Or: five times Kirk kissed Spock and one time Spock reciprocated in kind.

A Comedy of Errors (TOS, 6655 words) by yeah_w_r_i_t_e

“We’re gonna start with the classics,” he told Spock over their chess board. “Knock-knock jokes. Knock, knock!” He’d figured that this was the easiest introduction to human humor Spock could get. Common jokes that followed a fairly straightforward format were the most logical, right? Vulcans loved rules. Knock-knock jokes had rules. Spock looked at him with an intense expression for several seconds before saying, “Is this funnier to one with English as a native language?” Jim pursed his lips. “Right." OR: Jim tries to teach Spock human comedy, Spock goes overboard, and the crew thinks they're going insane.

RATED E and M stuff but I think they're super domestic, funny, or worth reading:

To Catch A Fish (TOS/AOS, 15844 words) by Darksknight

Spock’s realized that while he treasures his deep friendship with Jim, he’s come to desire more. He sets out to tell Jim of his feelings, but finds the task… considerably more difficult than he'd first imagined it to be.

It's bloody and raw, but I swear it is sweet (TOS, 3433 words) by thembonesthembones

“Spock, who did I just put in my mouth?” Spock freezes. It’s delightful to watch. Kirk carries on chewing and swallows with relish. While cutting himself another piece, he says, “If you think I don’t know what human tastes like, you clearly didn’t read enough of my Tarsus file. And we both know you’re not the type to skim. Did you really think I wouldn’t notice?”

I mean, it's cute for the Mirror Universe TTT. It's strangely compelling with evocative imagery-- not my usual alley but its good:D

Harlequin Hearts (TOS, 62929 words) by pamdizzle

This is a response to Juni's On First Sight Challenge: Ok, so let’s mix ST with some good old harlequins! Kirk is a Captain of the Enterprise, but he and Spock never met. Not at the Academy, not later – never. Of course Kirk heard about the super intelligent Vulcan First Officer, but didn’t pay attention to that. Then Pike is contacting him, asking him for help in rescuing his crew (Spock included) who were kidnapped by the Orion Slavers during an away mission. Kirk of course agrees and leads a rescue team (like there would be any doubt about it). They storm the place and Jim is totally mesmerized by the sight of a beautiful, sexy Vulcan in a very skimpy harem outfit. The crew is rescued and the Enterprise is on the way to return them to Pike’s ship and during that time Kirk totally falls in love with Spock.

When I say that this is one of the most heart warming stuff I've ever read in my life I am 100 percent serious. This is probably my favorite tale of these two soulmates falling in love. It's so domestic and cute and wholesome, just be warned on the darker themes at the start of the tale.

Happy Reading! - M

Two bonded lovers hanging out after work...I wonder what can happen?

I'LL TELL YOU WHAT CAN HAPPEN:

Touch telepathy and hand kink explained with made-up sciencey terms;

A very impatient captain, and a first officer who is very amused by this;

Switching power dynamics,

A human mouth that cannot catch a break;

A Vulcan mind that's trying to get over its shame.

Sprinkled over with canon-typical transcendent love. I swear it's funny, too.

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.”

“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
