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.

Fanfic Rec #109 James T. Kirk/Spock (Star Trek) part 9

Sha Ka Ree by ThereBeWhalesHere The year is 2258. Jim Kirk is a Lieutenant on the U.S.S. Farragut, Spock the science officer of the U.S.S. Enterprise. When the ships come together for a priority landing party, these two strangers find themselves fighting against the odds for a chance at life in an alien world, and the only way they'll make it through is by relying on each other.

i got my swim trunks (and my flippie-floppies) by amosanguis Jim celebrates his newly awarded captaincy with, what else? A cruise. And a cruise is exactly the last place Jim thought he’d ever find a Vulcan. Spock, the victim of a prank, decides to spite his tormentors and treat the cruise as a training exercise to prepare himself for the Enterprise’s upcoming deployment under its new captain – whoever that may be.

Definitions by WerewolvesAreReal "We call it t'hy'la," Spock says.

Send Me the Moon by lily_winterwood Vulcan is sixteen light years from Earth. When James T Kirk is twenty-two, the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence Institute receives a transmission from a six-year-old Vulcan child named Spock. 21st Century AU.

Illogical (√π233/hy7) by waldorph If Kirk was a maths genius, and never took Pike up on the dare to do better, but still managed to get to Starfleet?  This is what that would look like.

Fandom: Star Trek (The Alternate Original series) 

Author: noodleinabarrel | Word count: 2,324 | Rating: Teen and up, for this story there is a lot of 18+ conversation even though there is no actual description of character actions. So 18+ only for this story! 

Summary:  After having the best lay of his life on the couch of the sleazy club he bartends at, Jim comes home starry-eyed. Bones, however, couldn't give a shit about his roommate's swooning. All he cares about is his half-made guacamole and the avocado Jim promised to buy, but conveniently lost when his mystery man accidentally stole his jacket.

Review: This is just the right amount of funny with cute for me lol. I absolutely love (spoiler alert) how focused Bones is on this avocado and Jim is so not interested in the avocado. Jim’s absolute infatuation with Spock is adorable and vice versa. I could definitely see this story going so many places and their relationship just taking off into something more than infatuation, even though it does wonderfully as a one-shot. I’ll have to peek around the author’s page (linked above) to see if this one-shot was given anything else. There’s just the right amount of “other characters mentions” that I want to know more. I would die for Academy era fics, I’ve read so many! 

Always remember to leave comments and kudos! Happy reading :)

"My Happy Place Is With You"

by YesterdayOnceMore

Synopsis: Struggling to sleep after escaping Klingon captivity, Spock is comforted by Jim.

My Tags: Protective!Jim, Hand-holding, Nervous!Spock, Scared of lightning, thunderstorm, there's only one bed, cuddling, soft, hurt/comfort

Length: 2.6k

Reading time: 15-20 minutes

Favourite Parts:

---

“Spock, I won’t let anything bad happen while we’re down there."

---

Jim shot a glance at Spock when the natives questioned the attack tactics of the Klingons. [...]

As the meal was being set out, Jim gently squeezed Spock’s hand, murmuring that if he needed a moment to recollect himself he would make excuses.

---

“Jim,” he whispered, “Jim, wake up.”

Jim made a sleepy noise that Spock privately thought he would like to hear again. “What is it, Spock? ‘s something wrong?”

“There appears to be a storm. I am unsure if it is safe to remain here.”

---

He opened his eyes to find Jim laying on his back, his head tilted towards Spock. Spock was on his front, his face on Jim’s shoulder, with an arm wrapped around his torso. Jim had one arm wrapped around Spock, his hand resting on his side, over his heart, and another resting on his head, gently caressing his hair.

alright y’all- send me your Spirk fanfic recs PLEASE!

[areiton]

I read a lot of fic this year. Like an obscene amount of fic. But here are the top 17, in no particular order. (Also because I read too much, a list of honorable mentions at the bottom!)

1. Strive Seek Find Yield | Spirk

Spock is heir to the Federation throne, Jim is Prince of America because his fucking brother abdicated, and the Klingons are on the verge of blowing shit up--a love story.

2. Blue Fields | Spirk

In his thirteenth year James Kirk ends up on Tarsus IV with his aunt and uncle. During the famine he takes refuge with a six year-old named Kevin Riley and a young half-Vulcan.

3. Like Moses & Batman & James Dean  | Destiel

dean used to turn tricks. over a decade later, he met cas.

4. The Real Meaning of Idioms | Johnlock

After two weeks away, John finally texts Sherlock. He doesn't expect Sherlock to respond. He doesn't expect Sherlock to keep texting him. And he really doesn't expect things to spiral out of control so rapidly.

5. A Turn of the Earth | Destiel

Dean’s your typical half-orphaned, monster-killing 22-year-old until a trenchcoated stranger crashes into his back windshield one September night, claiming he’s an angel that knows him from the future and that he’s on the run.

Frigging fantastic.

(Or, in which Castiel gets stuck in Dean’s timeline preseries and Dean kind of hates it—until he doesn’t.)

6.   Magpie | Spirk

Spock met Jim when he was 7 and Jim was 6. It has since been generally agreed that this was a mistake (or: the one where they grow up together and things are simultaneously better and worse for it).

7. Switch | McKirk

The life and times of Leonard H. McCoy MD/PhD …

If Leonard McCoy's life could get any fucking weirder, it would be … Jesus, he didn't even want to think what that could possibly mean, because it's already been too fucking weird to make any kind of rational sense.

A Starfleet Academy story, set in the ST:XI universe.

8.  For Gladness of You  | Spirk

In which shit goes down in no particular order: Jim almost starts a war, Spock gets tortured, Jim gets kidnapped, Jim gets tortured, Spock gets not-quite-kidnapped, Jim takes the Enterprise joyriding, and mysterious Vulcans with their even more mysterious leader hop a ride for a few weeks. But that’s not what the story’s about. It’s about this: Jim was always going to fall in love with Spock – boldly, recklessly. He just didn’t expect to stay that way. A story about getting over all that.

9. children of a bad revolution | sterek

Far away and long ago, the only companion Derek has, the only friend and enemy he's known since he was young, is the chain.

Then Stiles happens.

Then the crows.

Then the end of the world.

10.  with bloody feet across hallowed ground | Sterek

There were no last words. No more pleas, no more screaming. Just the sound of Stiles squeezing the trigger, the explosion of a second shot rocketing out of the revolver, and the hunters bursting through the open doorway just in time to see the bullet slam squarely into the center of Derek’s chest.

11. (sacred) in the ordinary | Sterek

The Pack, after college, graduate school and the starting of careers, comes back to Beacon Hills. Nothing's gotten less complicated after all this time.

Based on a kink meme prompt that grew legs and got serious.

Note: This is a whole lot of pack!fic with a very slow build Derek/Stiles

12. give me back my bones | Sterek

Derek meets Stiles on a Wednesday. He comes in for his usual cup of coffee and somehow walks out with hot chocolate, cinnamon on the top, and no idea what just happened there.

13. sell your body to the night | Sterek

"No," he repeated impatiently. "I'm not a cop. I'm someone who wants to exchange my money for your sexual services. I was told you were in that line of work."

"I, uh, yeah, sorry," Stiles said. He glanced around again and then up--the full moon was almost directly overhead. Just one of those nights, maybe. "Yeah, I am. I do that."

14. the payoff pitch | Sterek

Derek is on the cusp of his second season with the LA Dodgers, and as the reigning runner-up Rookie of the Year, the pressure’s on him to become the team’s star pitcher and lead them to the playoffs for the first time in five years. He’s trying to deal with the burden of expectations and really has zero desire to spend any extra time or energy on anything that isn’t baseball.

But then he meets Stiles.

15.  between dogs and wolves | Sterek

"This is…not four million in cash,” remarks Stilinski.

“Isaac. Did you fail to get my money back and decided to pick up a stripper on the road to bribe me? Because let me make this perfectly clear: this would totally work. Well done.”

Or

The mafia!AU where the Hales owe four million to the Stilinskis, Laura rents Derek (but not as a stripper), Stiles gets a new favorite, Derek gets a new boss, a new puppy and a new family.

Sometimes they break people, but mainly, they just snark at each other.

16. those are the days that bind us | Sterek

His father wasn’t stupid. He was an officer of the law, trained to look for patterns. He confronted Stiles about werewolves and they shouted and Stiles tried to explain but his father was so, so, so mad, more mad than Stiles had ever seen him, ever in all his life and then his father looked at him and said,

“It’s like you’re not my son anymore.”

And Stiles broke.

17. fixer upper | Sterek

After the events of 5a, Stiles is estranged from Scott--and by association, the pack. Derek is off finding himself, or, at least, Germany and some other places. There's a lot of texting and post cards and then Derek comes back to find Stiles missing. Worse, nobody seems to remember Stiles existing.
