“I should have come with you the first time you asked,” Vina sighed, gaze lowered in shame. “I should have never stayed on Talos.” Her biggest regret up to this day, her life could have been so much better. “I feel like I missed out many chances.”

ᴜɴᴋᴏᴡɴ ʜᴜᴍᴀɴ:

Being sent undercover, on alien planets was something thecaptain was used to by now. Go here, go there, recruit, investigate. It was a routine for him. But this one was meant to go differently. He wouldn’t predict the aliens would be hostile. He wouldn’t have expected claws on his chest the moment he introduced himself. And here he was now, his blood staining the floor, his eyes shut, left alone on this fate.

He was not expecting rescue yet a touch of fingers on his neck, where his weak pulse was traceable, made him think otherwise. He opened his tired eyes, looking at the young male who stood by his side and was begging him to be alive. “Watch out…” was all he said before starting to drift off again. He wanted to make sure his ticket out of this stays safe.

         A simple mission - fly down, let the science team collect a few botanical samples and          fly back - in theory FAIL PROOF. Unfortunately only in theory. The longer they stayed          here the more the mission turned into a dangerous dance between life and death. A          NIGHTMARE come true. Literally. Brown shocked eyes had seen a member of the          science team, Lt. Merryweather, been ripped into pieces. Shredded like a piece of          paper. Without any effort.            His memory how he got here was scattered. Hurried legs almost did stumble over what          seemed at the time  a dead person. Humanoid. Very humanoid looking. Human. A breath          of relief escaped his lips before he started to gently shaking the other human, again.          “Come on, you can’t fall asleep here.”  He looked over his shoulder, reassuring they          were still alone. “Please…” His hands shook as he pat himself down, not finding his          comm. The golden soft fabric of his tunic now tainted with crimson. “This is no place to          die…fuck.” It still probably was.

Despite his reputation, Jim Kirk is a good student -- one of the best, actually. When it comes time for his on-ship residency, he’s top in the command track and proudly boasts scores that haven’t been seen in ages. Turns out, all Jim needed to get his act together was a little bit of direction and a fresh start. In his third year, Jim can finally start to see the vision and believe in his abilities to become captain. One of the best ways there? Through a residency on the Fleet’s flagship. 

First on Jim’s list of ships is, of course, the Enterprise. It’s Chris’s ship and it’s brand new. What isn’t there to love about it? Jim would die to command a ship like that some day. 

It’s not entirely surprising that he gets the position onboard the Enterprise. He hears the rumors -- there are more than a few students who believe good, old fashioned nepotism get him the spot, but they don’t know Chris like Jim does. He’d never pull shit like that. Jim earned his spot here by being the best of the best, just like everyone else onboard the ship. He worked his ass off for something like this and finally it’s started to pay off. 

And, after all that hard work, Jim’s done his very best to make sure his behavior doesn’t get him kicked off the Enterprise. 

When Captain Pike summons him for a meeting, Jim’s nervous the whole walk there, mind spinning as he tries to understand what he could have possibly messed up or done wrong to warrant any sort of discipline. Nothing comes to mind and that only makes all that worrying worse. 

Once Jim arrives at the room, he asks the computer to let Chris know he’s outside, figuring the captain will call him in when he’s ready.

It’s Sinday! Send 💋 to straight up kiss my muse!

   It was unexpected to say the least. One moment she had been gushing about how amazing it was to have made such an incredible discovery, talking, as she did, at one hundred miles per hour about how she would possibly explain this to Stamets - she had turned and caught his eye and then his lips had caught hers. Apprehension flooded her first, pulling away from him and muttering “captain” under her breath before she gave in and connected their lips again. Lacing her arms around his neck and pulling herself into him. If this was to be the only time they did this - she wanted to remember it forever.

@ofcaptainsandships reblogged X for a starter!

“Is there something I can help you with Captain?” Ryan asked glancing up from his seat. He could sense the figure standing over his shoulder, reading the medical notes on Ryan’s PADD and he wondered why he’d be so interested.

“It is lovely,” Vina commented, hands holding a cup of hot chocolate between her hands, “seeing some of the crew members in such a festive mood. I cannot remember the last time I actually celebrated Christmas.” Her eyes darted up towards the captain now, faint smile on her lips. “I am glad to spend it on your ship though.”

“Someone is trying to freak you out? Really? Do they know you? You are the most.. Wait, I'm forgetting the word.. Badass! There, the most Badass woman I know!” - @ofcaptainsandships

   “I don’t think I would ever call myself badass sir - “ she chuckled lightly, bowing her head a little her curls covering her face. “But coming from you I’ve got to say that really means a lot - I mean you’re the badass!”
