Short-ish fics to cheer you up this week

Merlin (TV)- Merthur

For the good of the kingdom by magog_83: Merlin returns from his sojourn with the druids in the company of a man who is criminally handsome. Arthur reacts in the mature and reasonable fashion you would expect.

Arthur deals with his Feelings.

Meeting the Minister by magog_83: The new Muggle Prime Minister meets the Minister for Magic. In this case, Minister Merlin is VERY KEEN to meet the new PM ;) .

---

aka the HP and Merlin crossover we don’t deserve.

Inhaling Autumn’s Breath by @emjayelle: Arthur Pendragon has upended his life, and uprooted himself to a new country, hoping to start over. As he looks for something different and new under the fiery colours of fall, he finds that he might be able to become the person's he's always wanted to be, all with the help of a quirky French Canadian writer, some serious seasonal activities and just a little bit of magic.

The aesthetic, the imagery, the mood, the language, the atmosphere, the magic.

Star Trek- Spirk

The REAL Trouble with Tribbles (or, How the tribbles conquered the Klingon Empire) by Renata Lord (Snowlight): Written for the premise: What if there is a Tribble!Kirk and Tribble!Spock amongst the vast tribbles army in the TOS episode "The Trouble with Tribbles"?

---

TRIBBLES

A Question of Science (series) by screamlet

---

I sat with this series for days.

you will see what it is to be overcome by magneticwave: What kind of an idiot would try to explain magic to a Vulcan.

---

*bow**i’m not worthy*

It’s Only Art (if it makes you feel something) by @wrathofbones: 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.

---

ARTfully done.

Just a Little Change (Small to Say the Least) by @walktalkwrite: Jim predicts his gears will rust together before Spock can undo this anomaly.

---

This makes a whole new world; it compels me to say go on and kiss the girl; at last Spock sees the light, and realizes so this is love.

the crew getting to meet a hero of early human space travel seems like such a Star Trek plot anyway

And Vulcans having a non space faring pre warp neighbor they politely leave alone? Also very in character

happy pride aboard the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) 🌈✨

Does anybody else ever think about the fact that Isa Briones has a Star Trek tattoo, and since she doesn't cover up her tattoos when she's on The Pitt, that means that Dr. Trinity Santos has a Star Trek tattoo and is canonically a Trekkie? Because I'm always thinking about it

A Vulcan named Stork works at the Terran adoption agency. Parents always request that he be the one to deliver their child to them.

taken-aurally

It’s years before anyone explains it to him.

People keep gifting him robes with long white birds on them.

The fun thing is he would understand why people were getting him outfits with storks on them. That’s a word, it’s his name, straightforward. All the humans get him the same gag gift, but like, they’re putting effort in at least. This is a genuinely nice outfit. Stork will be a walking zero-effort pun sometimes, rather than waste a perfectly fine robe.

It’s fine. This is a readily comprehensible human illogic. Exactly the kind of thing he expected from moving to Earth.

Six years in he finds out about the stork bringing babies.

Stork has a good long meditation session about this myth, his name, his job, the outfits, the whole shebang (or whatever Vulcan concept is the equivalent).

And he decides he’s honored by it, in a humanly illogical way.

The humans are asking him to do what is after all his job, and specifically requesting him for the joy his name brings them on top of an already agreeable and satisfying task. He has no objection to engendering positive emotions in others. Harm hastens the heat-death of the universe, Surak teaches, so happiness must logically slow it down.

Plus, Vulcans of his generation love puns. There were two decades of punning competitions in colleges across the planet. So when he realizes that he is a walking zero-effort pun, and that the humans also love the pun, he is all for it. He is the Joe Cool of the entire Vulcan population in his city.

And via this pun, the humans are including him in a cherished and traditional myth, by casting him as the literal bringer of life and the expander of families.

There’s no downside. Stork wears his robes, pins, keychains, and other bird-related tchotchkes with genuine pride.

YES IT’S BACK ON MY DASH AT LAST

For real though working together with some human social workers, a Vulcan would be an excellent caretaker for children in an adoption center.

Child has a meltdown? Imagine Stork, perfectly calm and unbothered, approaching the kid and saying “You appear quite upset, Eliza. If you would please allow me to relocate you to the ‘bean-bag-chair,’ we can discuss the source of your distress.”

A Vulcan educated in medicine and child psychology would be endlessly patient with a kid with behavioral issues. Stork wouldn’t get or upset or frustrated. After all, these are children with medical and psychological conditions. It would be illogical to blame the child or to not treat them with the appropriate care.

Even if the a little one was having a bad day or was just overtired, Stork wouldn’t get angry. He might even be a calming presence. Any new kids acting out would learn real quick that they’d have better luck trying to arm-wrestle a Klingon than get a rise out of Stork.

Not only that, Vulcans live much longer than humans. Imagine Stork looking virtually unchanged as decades pass. Kids he’d helped years ago would turn up fully grown, maybe there to adopt their own kids, and run into Stork, looking almost exactly as they remember him.

And he’d probably remember them too. “Welcome back, Eliza.”

Spock: Do you agree with the sentiment "it's the thought that counts"?

Pike, Exhausted Dad™: ... Yes?

Spock: *nods sagely* The Captain told me to inform you, "we thought about not entering the nebula."

Pike: Spock-

Spock: and took it under extreme consideration-

Pike: Where is The Captain?

Bones: You're missing the important question.

[Pause]

Pike: *eyes widen* WHERE IS THE ENTERPRISE?

#my favorite shore leave theory is that the shore leave factories didn't generate anything for spock not only bc he's sufficiently repressed#but because torn shirt kirk is. right next to him already. honestly shirtless kirk beating up his own old bully while spock watches#is. i think this is spock's kink actually. up there with the 'yes...yes...good...good' voyeuristic reaction to kirk inventing a bazooka#spock watching kirk be righteous and brilliant with as little clothes as possible and spock himself getting to be Correct about everything#is a GREAT day for spock already. who needs wish fulfillment#kirk isn't even interested in the chorus girl sexbots only the simulacrum of his steady gf. & real ruth is out of the picture and no threat#also they got to grab each other multiple times it was basically obscene. AND all this started when kirk only wanted a massage from him.#so 'shore leave' in its entirety is pretty much 10/10 no notes ideal day as far as spock's psyche is concerned w/ no need for extra steps @anghraine tags
