I'M BACK! After 4 long months, I have a new fic to share!
In Bloom by remylebae
E, TOS, Spones to McSpirk, 14.5k
Summary: Things get a little awkward after Jim walks in on Spock and Leonard having sex. When days pass and the awkwardness doesn't fade, Leonard wonders if something else is going on.
I just wanted to say your story “ labor of inconvenience” was phenomenal but I cannot do pregnancy stuff sober so I did have three drinks in preparation for reading it. I got drunk just to read it that’s how good the description looked 
I am so touched that you did that just to read my fic but oh my god anon.
read the preg fic that drove anon to drink here
(Star Trek TOS mcspirk, the cave birth fic)
The exclusive period is over, which means my fic To Tell The Truth from the most recent edition of We Go Together: A Spones Zine has been posted! The fic can be read HERE on ao3 OR you can enjoy this fic and the other works in the zine by downloading it for free here! @sponeszine
+ with this fic, I hit 1 million total words posted to AO3!
It's been a while since I put one of these together! Under the cut are a selection of great spirk, mckirk, spones, and mcspirk fics I've read in the past few months with a brief description of what I liked about them. Enjoy!
SPIRK
Tomorrow’s Circus by Borealisblue. TOS. Explicit, 56,084 words (as of 6/20/24). Work in progress. Circus au, 1930s, everyone’s human. The friends-to-lovers and pining in this is SO GOOD and I really think that everyone needs to be reading this fic. I haven’t been this invested in a fic in a long time; getting that subscription email letting me know this fic has updated can literally fix me when I’m having a bad day. Cannot rec this fic enough if you’re in the mood for a slowburn, plus the art in it is phenomenal.
A Perfect Fit by ThereBeWhalesHere. TOS. Teen and Up Audiences, 7,097 words. Role swap: Captain Spock and First Officer Kirk. Spock’s POV, admittance of feelings, first kiss. This fic is so lovely, I love a fic where I get to just watch these two get to know each other and fall in love.
Time After Time by spaceisgay (ChancellorGriffin). SNW and Disco. Explicit, 138,921 words. I loved this fic. The pining and sexual tension is so good, and this fic has a good balance of humorous fluffy scenes and angst and incredibly hot smut. It’s a spirk fic, yes, but it really dives into sibling dynamics as it explores the Kirk brothers’ relationship as Spock continues to process the Michael-shaped hole in his life. I love this take on this era’s Spock, there’s so much he doesn’t know about himself yet. I also really adore how this fic writes all the characters—you really get a sense of everyone’s personalities in this fic, the entire crew feels so ALIVE. Just fantastic characterizations of everyone!
Big Me (But It's You I Fell Into) by waketosleep. AOS. Mature, 38,728 words. This is the fic that got me to care about golf. I wish I was kidding—now I join my in-laws when they’re watching it on the TV. This fic has a scene between McCoy and Kirk during Kirk’s first tournament with him that had me laughing my ass off. Never not thinking about this fic; the dangerous part about reading a sports au is suddenly you care about that sport. Don’t think it can happen to you? Give this fic a try.
Consume by the_moonmoth. AOS. Explicit, 1,139 words. Must be logged in to read. Very hot smut. Dirty talk, mind melds, Bottom!Kirk and Top!Spock. This fic just hits.
You Could Call It Love by lurikko. TOS. Mature, 45,791 words. Fake marriage, slowburn, getting together. This fic is SO good, just a whole bunch of tropes that I adore.
SPONES
That Which Lingers by stanzas. TOS Movies. Teen and Up Audiences, 1,008 words. Takes place after The Search for Spock. Established relationship with some very sweet moments as they deal with the lingering side effects of the fal-tor-pan. This fic is just everything to me, it absolutely melted my heart.
So Hold Me Close and Say Three Words by Rusoe. TOS. Mature, 1,103 words. Omegaverse. Nesting, Omega!McCoy and Alpha!Spock. I absolutely wasn’t expecting this fic to dive into insecurities about aging when I clicked on it. Loved this!
Stop Making Sense by therev. TOS. General Audiences, 13,775 words. Spock is severely injured as a result of a decision McCoy had to make in order to save the lives of others. McCoy carries a lot of guilt over his actions, even as Spock recovers from his injuries. Very good.
it’s all downhill from here by strangenewwords. AOS. Teen and Up Audiences, 2,082 words. McCoy takes Joanna sledding. Joanna gets overtired, and McCoy gets overwhelmed and panicky. Love this fic’s take on Dad!McCoy, and the spones in this is so damn sweet.
MCKIRK
and i can lend you broken parts that might fit (like this) by jeyhawk. AOS. Explicit, 17,461 words. Academy era, first they hookup, then get to know each other, and then their relationship grows from there. I’m a sucker for fics with this setup.
Resistless is your charm by fangirlandiknowit. AOS. Explicit, 6,031 words. After hearing about Uhura’s awful first date with Kirk, McCoy decides to text him. Includes some mini-golfing and a very good car hookup scene. Loved this.
MCSPIRK
Tex-Mex Eggrolls and Spinach Dip by Ncc1701ohno. TOS. Explicit, 3,746 words. Smut, light bondage. The setup for this fic is that Spock, McCoy, and Kirk find themselves stuck in the 21st century and work at the Cheesecake Factory in order to make ends meet. I desperately want this fic to become a multi-part series, because the concept is endlessly amusing to me (which is pretty obvious since I partially inspired the idea). A very funny and very hot fic.
Everything That Disappears by sagesiren. AOS. Mature, 19,748 words. Academy era, kid fic, Trans!McCoy, fluff and emotional hurt/comfort. Absolutely loved this, McCoy being a single dad is everything to me. A very entertaining get-together fic for the three of them while exploring parenthood and being trans.
Approximation by liadan14. AOS. Explicit, 15,167 words. Mutual pining, hot smut, and a really interesting plot told non-chronologically. I especially enjoyed Spock’s characterization in this fic, but I love how all three of them are written!
I've been itching to write some TOS Movies era Mckirk! My newest fic All Hands On Deck, written for the Sex Outdoors prompt, takes place post-The Voyage Home on Gillian Taylor's boat from Chris Claremont's Star Trek: Debt of Honor comic. I threw together a collage of Kirk's outfit so you can experience his silly hat in all its glory.
Summary:
After spending the last month sailing the Pacific with Gillian, Jim invites some of his friends to join them on her boat for a weekend.
Or: Jim and Bones fool around on the deck of a boat. What more could you ask for?
I posted a new smut fic! Written for @mcspirkevents's McSpirk Month, this fic is AOS spones to mcspirk, featuring Spock, naked, getting shoved into a closet. What'll happen next? Guess you'll have to read to find out!
Summary:
“Is it possible—” Spock stops, hesitant to make the suggestion. He tries again. “What if it is not only you that he is jealous of?”
“You mean what, exactly? That he’s jealous of both of us?”
Spock nods.
“Wait, wait, hang on. You’re really suggesting he wants us both? Shit, Spock, I—” The amused look drops from Leonard’s face as he stops, reconsidering. “Damn. You might actually be onto something.”
Written for the Mcspirk Month prompts: Submission and Top McCoy
