These Simple Feels is a star trek fic rec blog focused on the pairing Spock/Kirk Requests are: open!  Always check the tags page, you might find what you're looking for there! In memory of Leonard Nimoy, and Spock, united with his t'hai'la at last.

[thesesimplefeels]

I can't find a Spock x Jim story I loved and need help please! I remember that both of them plus Pike crashed on a planet, Pike dies due to injuries, Jim wasn't a captain, they have to work together to survive, and fall in love. Also it was a big deal when they get off the planet that Jim eats rockyroad icecream.

🙏🙏🙏

I do believe this is Sha Ka Ree by ThereBeWhalesHere

Hi guys! Mod Sam here - it's been a LONG time since I last posted, and if there's anyone who's interested in taking the blog over to revive it, send a message!

[thesesimplefeels]

Hello! I'm looking for the fic where the Enterprise takes in a boy who was raised by aliens and has 'powers'. He becomes attached to Jim but turns out to be a little bratty and out of control since he makes people he doesn't like and Spock disappear.

Alright, so here’s the thing: You just described TOS episode Charlie X, so maybe you’re thinking of the actual episode?

I can’t actually find any fics based on this episode? As always, if anyone knows of any just drop a message!

[thesesimplefeels]

Hey, I was wondering if you could help me find a fanfiction I really enjoyed. Spock and Kirk have been put on trial because they are believed to have emotional compromised each other, they completely deny it but as the trial days go on Kirk starts to realise he does have feelings for Spock. Thank you x

YOU’RE THINKING OF VERITAS AKA MY FAVOURITE FIC EVER WRITTEN!!!

Veritas by theproblematique

Captain James T. Kirk and Lieutenant Commander Spock are hereby charged with negligence and wanton misconduct due to their emotional compromise with each other.

[thesesimplefeels]

Do you know of any good alpha/omega dynamics fics?

I don’t really know of very many at all, but check the A/B/O tag for the few we’ve recced before

Any of our followers have some personal favourites?

[thesesimplefeels]

I have learned of myself that I have a soft spot for stories featuring a bartender setting, do you know any good ones?

Well, I can’t not mention the bartender fic to top all bartender fics, 

Papers in the Roadside by kianspo

Non-Starfleet AU. Jim owns a small bar in Chicago, keeps on picking up strays and taking care of everyone no matter how hard it makes his own life. Spock is a journalist writing feature articles for the Chicago Tribune; he depicts the world with uncanny skill, but hides more than one personal drama and is possibly under surveillance from the Vulcan royal family. They meet by accident just before their lives start to spin out of control.

one of my favourite fics of all time, not gonna lie

Lady Who Lunches by Nyyrikki

Slightly AU. Jim's a bartender trying to clean up his act and save money for the academy, but his new job is boring and he keeps himself occupied by trying to figure out his customers. One of said customers is a classy lady who's son catches Jim's attention from day one.

Inspired by Wiktionary's word of the day (May 7th).

I’m not really aware of any more bartender ones, but here are a couple of barista ones as well,

Of Coffee Beans and Green Tea Leaves by Se7en_devils

The progression of a relationship, through Coffee Beans and Green Tea Leaves.

Spaceman by treksfromlastnight

Academy AU. Five times Spock realizes he's attracted to a barista at the academy spaceport, and one time he decides to do something about it.

As always guys, send a message if you know of any more bartender fics you’d recommend!

[thesesimplefeels]

Take Refuge In What You Know by CorpusInvictus

Written for the Star Trek XI Kink Meme prompt: “AU - Kirk has moved into a apartment/house and wants to get to know his neighbors. He meets his neighbor Spock, a loner who suffers from extreme agoraphobia. Kirk thinks he’s beautiful enigma.”

(who saw this one coming ha haha hahaha) I really, REALLY love this fic, in case I’ve not made that clear enough yet

On Children and Forts by mrhd

Jim and Spock babysit Joanna McCoy.

anybody got some suggestions for more?

[thesesimplefeels]

prokrastina said:

 For the anon looking for babysitting Joanna fics or something similar I highly recommend A little Lady called T'Val by iknewaman on ao3

[thesesimplefeels]

Hey :-) would you be open for sending you fics one liked and, if you know it, you recommend something similar-ish, that in your opinion hits the same vibe?

I’d love to do that, send away!

[thesesimplefeels]

Do you know of any into darkness rewrites that include Spirk? :) thanks!

I can’t find any fics that are rewrites of the whole film, most of them are based around the scene where Jim dies, so warning for major character death (or mentions of it) . in both of these

The Space Between by starfleetdicks

Kirk’s skin is cool to the touch, his hair softer than Spock imagined, and the stiffness he expects to feel at the base of Kirk’s neck at this unexpected contact is strangely absent. Kirk shifts, lets out a noisy breath, and leans into the touch. Spock’s fingers tingle. He finds there is some comfort in touching Kirk like this. Fascinating.

He moves closer, drawn to Kirk until there is almost no space between.

Into Darkness scene fill/extension, after Kirk's speech at the anniversary ceremony to the end of the movie.

How It Ends by SentimentalDefect

"I want you to know why I couldn't let you die. Why I went back for you." One last glance at the final two-hundred-and-forty-one seconds of Jim Kirk's life. Kirk/Spock. Obvious spoilers for STID.

[thesesimplefeels]

Heyyyy! Um, do you know any fics where Kirk is shopping for stereotypical women's clothes, maybe dresses or something, for himself, and Spock/Bones finds him? Or where Kirk's wearing a dress/stereotypical women's clothes and Spock walks in on him? I've read most of the fics on your crossdressing tag and I was just wondering if there were any more like that? Thank you! (If not, could you update your crossdressing Spirk tag? You're the bestest!!!)

I can’t think of any where he’s specifically shopping, but here are a few crossdressing fics:

All it takes by imera

A dare puts Kirk in a dress, and the dress leads Kirk into an interesting situation.

Short Skirt, Long Jacket by ximeria

A chance encounter at a costume party.

Smooth as... by rabidchild67

Jim in silk pantyhose and heels. For reasons.

The Dress by AshayaTReldai

uhura and wallace complaining to kirk that the starfleet regulation uniform for women is sexist

kirk mentioning the complaint to his superior officers, who dismiss him

kirk starting to wear the starfleet regulation women’s uniform as a protest

spock and bones turning bright red every time they each see the captain

kirk after a while admitting that he likes wearing a dress

scotty and chekov thinking they might wanna try it themselves

spock finally sitting the high council down and hurling every relevant starfleet law in the books at them so that they finally expand the women’s regulation uniform options

years later kirk threatening to bring out the dress ever now and again to terrorize his crew (especially spock)

[thesesimplefeels]

I sorry if you have answered this question before, but do you know any fanfics were Spock is really hurt or sick?

be sure to check out our Sick fic tag! But I’ll give an update of a few newer fics for it

Worth It by thecatchingjay

The pain didn’t start right away. Oh no, the physical pain, feeling the radiation poison running through his blood, ripping him apart from the inside out, started as soon as he opened the door.

No, the real pain didn’t start until he saw Jim’s face on the opposite side of the door.

WARNING: canon major character death, but it’s focus is on after he comes back. Features Spock struggling with dissociation

Blood Red by greenjimkirk

My sister asked me to write a Spirk ficlet about colors. I obliged.

Phlox by abbeyjewel

Spock comes down with a cold.

Your Burdens I Will Bear by thesadchicken

Spock is injured on an away mission. When Jim comes to visit him in sickbay, they both discover the immeasurable strength of togetherness.Written for plaidshirtjimkirk's prompt on tumblr.

Hi guys, it’s mod Verna here! 

I’ve decided to leave the blog after a (shamefully) long period of silence. I’ve fallen out of the fandom and especially the ship, so the passion I had for this blog back in like... 2013-2015 (jfc we’re old) is no longer there. I’m leaving the ropes to Sam, so the blog isn’t going anywhere. 

Thanks for these several years, live long and prosper! ♥

[thesesimplefeels]

Hi I'm looking for this fic I read a few months ago.Ok so basically Kirk and Spock met when they were little because some inter-planet diplomatic thing and little kid spock mind melds with little jim because he feels drawn to do it and a bond starts to form (because they're thyla duh) and when they see their parents Sarek notices and is amazed b/c thyla are so rare and they're so young so they form the bond more. then they part b/c they need to live their lives and meet again at starfleet(contd)

(anon cont’d)(spocks a prof)but they hadn’t spoken to each other since and their bond was blocked because sarek didn’t want it screwing with their childhood they needed to be older first. They both always knew they had this person but didn’t understand it and jim kind of felt like it was an arranged marriage b/c he didn’t understand but them being so close at starfleet kind of activates spock’s vulcan-ness and spock can’t understand why his thyla would be jim who cheats on k-maru and flirts ETC

So, I think the fic you’re talking about is the Ivy Crown series by ladyblahblah? The first fic in the series is:

Daffodil Time

Because the kid who’s coming is Vulcan, for heaven’s sake. There’s nothing fun about Vulcans. They’re logical and boring and, if Jim’s being completely honest, just the tiniest bit scary. And this is the boy who will be in his house, sharing his room, sleeping in his brother’s bed. How is he even supposed to start trying to make friends with someone so … well, alien?

if this isn’t it, do any of our followers have any suggestions?

[thesesimplefeels]

any good fics where spock is Very Angsty/dealing w some kind of mental illness? preferably not from AO3 unless it's rly good or long bc i think i've read most of the shorter ones on there

I really can’t think of many longer ones off the top of my head, but the obvious ones would of course be:

Shine Like The Sun by kyliselle

An accident leaves Spock with amnesia. His last memory is bringing a cadet up on charges for cheating on the Kobayashi Maru - a cadet who, to his disgust, is now his bondmate.

(raise your hands if you saw this one coming) not really mental illness, but Spock gets amnesia and it’s all incredibly angsty

Variable Meanings by flagrantialuna

The last thing Spock ever remembers is a mission going horribly wrong.

so this is neither long nor a mental illness fic (spock gets amnesia again) but listen,,, this fic destroyed me and it still makes me cry even though I’ve read it like 10 times

Do any of our followers have any other suggestions?

[thesesimplefeels]

Hi!!! I was wondering if you knew any non-binary gender (preferably Kirk) fics? I've looked through your tags but I can't find any? If I just missed a tag, I'm really sorry.😙 Thank you!!!

Hi! First of all, friendly reminder that requests are closed! Second, this is the second (? I think?) ask we’ve got about this, idk if its the same anon but I’m very sorry as I haven’t been able to find any fics of the sort. Any of our followers know of any?

[thesesimplefeels]

Hey! It’d mean the universe to me if you checked out “To Thy High Requiem,” my K/S “City at the Edge of Forever” AU. Instead of Captain Kirk landing in 1930′s New York City and falling for Edith Keeler, he and Bones fall into pre-Surak Vulcan and are given shelter by the enigmatic rebel Spock, who is fighting for logic and peace. Slow burn falling in love soulmates type fic. Thanks so much! <3

I’ll be sure to check it when I have time, meanwhile - have at it people!
