[Kirk/Spock] [Zach/Chris] [Gen & Misc]

Kirk/Spock


Wherein Kirk and Spock Have Inadvisable Drunken Sex by Ifyouweremine [Kirk/Spock]
“Mmm, probably not,” said Kirk, nudging at Spock’s jaw with his nose and then kissing him: sloppy warm suction along the column of Spock’s throat, unexpectedly pleasant.

“We’re ineb—inebriated,” said Spock. “Our capacity to reason has been compromised.”

Just Lie Back and Think of the Federation by Ifyouweremine [Kirk/Spock]
Aliens make them do it, and it turns out they both actually kind of like it. A lot.

We Learn Each Other Slowly by Raphael667 [Kirk/Spock, past Spock/Uhura]
Sweet established; complicated and with jealousy for silly reasons that become serious. Nicely done.

Five Times Kirk Tried to Seduce Spock, and One Time He Succeeded by Belmanoir [Kirk/Spock]
It takes Jim a few minutes of standing in the corridor staring at Spock's door before he realizes why it didn't work. They always take their meals together. And, Jim realizes, he always smiles and flirts with Spock. Spock had no idea anything was going on at all.

Intellectual Stimulation by Jack Hawksmoor [Kirk/Spock pre-slash]
They play chess and get in a bar fight, and flirt all the while.

Inadvisable by Anonymous [Kirk/girl!Spock]
Kirk/girl!Spock in the command chair. Smoking hot.

Break Down and Tell by Betweenthebliss [Kirk/Spock]
Kirk is having trouble sleeping because of lingering information from the mind meld with Spock Prime.

Untitled by _seven_crows [Kirk/Spock pre-slash/friendship]
Pre-slash after a mission; more a focus on their developing friendship but with the possibility of more. A nice, light feeling story.

Strange Harvest by Spuffyduds [Kirk/Spock, Spock/Uhura, Uhura/omc]
Kirk and Spock harvest alien onions as part of a ritual, but of course Kirk didn't listen to the full description, and of course he also asks at least one inappropriate question at the exact right moment.

Is That Even Possible? by Hart-and-sole [Kirk/Spock, past Spock/Uhura, Kirk/OFC, Kirk/OMC]
Where Kirk works his way through the Xeno Kama Sutra and all that's left is Vulcan but Spock is taken and doesn't seem interested. Probably.

Breaking Points by Ragdoll987 [Spock/Kirk]
When the Enterprise is asked to transport Vulcan colonists to their new home, Spock Prime comes with them. His presence changes everything – even the things Jim isn’t sure he wants to change. (WIP, has strong possibilities even just by the end of this part.)

Future Bliss by Kagedtiger [Kirk/Spock pre-slash, Spock/Uhura]
Pre-slash delicately balanced, and really, really well done. After Vulcan is destroyed young Vulcans start losing time and falling ill. Spock falls to it and accidentally bonds with Kirk.

Taking the Slower Path (We'll Get There in the End) by black-eyedgirl [Kirk/Spock pre-slash, Spock/Uhura, Team gen]
A really excellent take on the first year after the movie. Amazing work on all the big characters and many smaller elements.

Home by Lanaea [Kirk/Spock pre-slash(?), Spock/Uhura]
After some time in space again, Kirk heads Earthside to visit his mom. Seeing Spock and Uhura have something like an argument he invites Spock along.

Not Logical by Anonymous [Kirk/Spock, Spock/Uhura, OMC/Kirk]
The Ambassador first hits on Uhura until Kirk sets him straight. Then he sets his eyes on Kirk, but it's only then that Spock gets -really- riled, and he's not entirely sure why. Possessive!Spock is totally going to be a thing for me.

Getting to Know You by Lanaea [Kirk/Spock pre-slash]
He’d have chalked it up to crew loyalty and the idea that Spock would get like that whenever any Starfleet officer was threatened, but – frankly, that just wasn’t true. Oh, Spock cared about all of their lives, that wasn’t in question. He just didn’t do a complete philosophical about-turn whenever one of them was threatened with harm.

Cut and Fucking Paste by Crimsonclad</a> [Kirk-Prime/Spock-Prime, one-sided Kirk/Spock, Spock/Uhura]
'Dear Ambassador Spock,' Jim writes, 'The new Spock thinks I am a total asshole and that sucks.' Kirk remembers everything from the mind-meld but decides not to foist it on his Spock for complicated reasons. Unfortunately, certain things continue to leak through in a hilarious and useful way.

But I Still Want More by Vellum [Kirk/Spock]
Spock accidentally brushes against Kirk (asleep) while trying to adjust the blankets and gets more than he expected.

The Ups and Downs of You by Raphaela667 [Kirk/Spock, gen]
The longer version of that story where Spock tests a drug on himself for diplomatic reasons and ends up a six year old for four days. As it turns out, six year old Spock is hard to handle.

Similar Activities by Mithrigil [Kirk/Spock, Spock/Uhura]
"But that would mean they blew up Earth, and I'd want to nail those sons of bitches to the nearest wall, so I don't think I'd be too hard on you." Kirk rearticulates his grin, or perhaps it is a smirk, or somewhere between. Kirk smiles similarly at Uhura, and other women when he is making flirtatious overtures to them. Amazing Spock characterization and voice, especially his descriptions and observations of Kirk within the piece. Really, really amazing.

Untitled by Anonymous [Kirk/Spock pre-slash, past Spock/Uhura]
Kirk's hidden talent is his genius and his need to keep educated. Spock spies on him with a kind of Vulcan longing. Sweet with a funny ending.

Seven Assertions by Slytherin_heart [Kirk/Spock, past Spock/Uhura, past Kirk/OFC]
Nnnnngh.

Rarities by Solvent90 [Kirk/Spock, one-sided OMC/Spock]
Spock doesn't tighten his lips or break the man's neck or so much as flinch, even when the guy uses words like specimen and beautiful and rare. He just dips his head in polite nods and makes grave courteous replies and even - at some incomprehensible cultural in-joke - makes a small nasal noise that could be mistaken for a laugh. Jim really hates this fucking planet.

Untitled by Terra_lilly [one-sided Kirk/Spock(?), established Spock/Uhura]
Wow, way more involved than I expected. Keep scrolling down, this is the comment fic that keeps growing! The basic idea is Kirk pining after Spock despite Spock being with Uhura, but then there's an accident temporarily linking Kirk and Spock. Of course.

Edit by Crimsonclad [one-sided Kirk/Spock, established Spock/Uhura]
Sequel to Cut-and-fucking-paste, Kirk has a near-death experience and kisses Spock in front of practically everyone. And then unfortunately survives. Oops?

Untitled by Anonymous [Kirk/Kirk, Kirk/Spock, Kirk/Spock/Kirk]
So in TOS evil!Kirk and good!Kirk duke it out, seduce a yeoman, and harrass Spock and at the end of the episode Spock and the yeoman share a moment over how sexy and ruthless evil!Kirk was. No lies. This is the TOR equivalent in progress. (WIP)

Rescue by Lanaea [Kirk/Spock pre-slas or gen, depending]
How a person could garner any encouragement from that stone-faced stare and Spock’s short, direct responses seems like an utter mystery to Jim. He wonders if this was how Uhura managed to swing a relationship with him – sheer, bull-headed tenacity. But whereas the lovely communications officer’s attentions had clearly been met with some sort of positive reception, this is not the case here.

Vokaya t'Telsu by Thelilytriad [Kirk/Spock pre-slash, Kirk-Prime/Spock-Prime, mention of Spock/Uhura]
First of three parts: Spock wants to know something, finds out about the mind-meld and then things get heart-breaking really fast. But I like it. Part two is here and part three isn't up yet.

Cheat Sheet by Speccygeekgrrl [Kirk/Spock]
Listen, I'll pretty much read anything where someone turns into a cat, or gets cat ears, or where they get a cat. And Spock with cat ears and a tail? Unable to stop broadcasting his annoyance? Brilliant beyond belief.

Compatibility Test by Rhaegal [Kirk/Spock, Spock/Uhura, Spock/OFC]
He'd seen some strange things in his – admittedly short, so far – stint as a starship captain, but finding out that his first officer was breaking up with the hottest woman on the ship because she wanted to have sex with him… Space was going to have to turn up some mighty surprises to beat that one. Spock is naive and sly and smart in this; I really, really enjoyed the entire thing. Hilarious and sweet and extremely well-paced.

The Five Times Spock Sent Kirk Running - And The One He Didn't by Slytherin_heart [Kirk/Spock]
Kirk keeps coming on to Spock, but Spock, who finds the whole thing illogical, is nervous under his placid facade, and ruins every moment when something is just about to happen — accidentally giving him the nerve pinch when Kirk leans in for a kiss, for example. Eventually, Kirk takes the safe route — shouting his intentions from across the room when Spock is least expecting it.

Owned by Anonymous [Kirk/Spock]
The last person Kirk expected to see at his Kobayashi Maru trial was the smug bastard from the night before.

Untitled by Anonymous [Kirk/Spock, Kirk/OMC, Uhura/OMC, Spock/Uhura]
"The captain enjoys being held down?" Spock asked flatly. They were used to his emotionless observations, but there was something particularly toneless about this. “Fascinating."

Four Things Jim Kirk Hates About That Pointy-Eared Bastard by Sans-pertinence [Kirk/Spock, Kirk/OFC, past Spock/Uhura, current Uhura/omc]
A plotty story about Spock, Kirk and Bones beaming down to begin negotiations with a particular planet and all the little things Spock does along the way that Kirk hates. And of course, one thing that might be love.

Gravitational Forces by Anonymous [Kirk/Spock; Bones]
So when Jim gestured for Spock to precede him into the formal dining hall, one hand lightly placed on the small of his First Officer’s back as if to guide him into it, McCoy just thought it was part of the whole diplomacy thing.

It was the second time that really caught his interest.

Untitled by Butterfly [Kirk/Spock, past Spock/Uhura, Kirk/OMC]
Hypothermia fic that developed plot and character work and then ran away from the prompt and into something that included it but was also a million times better.

Untitled by Butterfly [Kirk/Spock, Spock/Uhura]
Star Trek = Jane Austen's Persuasion. In Space!

In His Interest by Vain-flower [Kirk/Spock]
Aliens made them pretend to be in a D/s relationship, even in private, during on-world negotiations.

The Peacock Preens by Anonymous [Kirk/Spock, Everyone/Kirk]
Something happened between when Kirk toasted the alien ambassador and when he beamed up to the ship, because when he re-materialized he had big, golden wings. And damn if he isn't cocky about them and completely uninterested in getting rid of them. More importantly, he likes being petted. (OOC, but enjoyable.)

The Many Perks of Exploring 'Strange New Worlds' AKA This Fuckin Shit Ain't Logical by Anonymous [Kirk/Spock, past Spock/Uhura, Kirk/Everyone, team]
The away team beams down and immediately each member reacts differently to some kind of stimulous or narcotic in the atmosphere. Kirk's reaction is sudden onset of speaking in xeno tongues + a crazy high. And of course he starts propositioning people in multiple languages in the middle of sick bay.

Unwelcome Gifts by Yourcarcinogen [one-sided Kirk/Spock, current Spock/Uhura, team gen]
A story with a good deal of plot alongside classic mind-meld angsting that has yet to be resolved. I'm hoping for a sequel. Uhura is amazing in this, you'll love her.

Four Times Spock Chose Kirk Over Uhura, And One Time... by Anonymous [Kirk/Spock, Spock/Uhura]
Uhura POV fic depicting four times Spock chose Kirk over Uhura and one time he didn't have to because she'd already dumped him. Interestingly, each event occurs chronologically showing a smooth and reasonable progression, though I think Spock would have broken things off earlier.

The Peanut Butter and the Jelly by Snowlight [Kirk/Spock, team]
Five times a human euphemism/ phrase went right over Spock's head, and one time it really didn't. Oh, Spock. Some of them are a little unbelievable. Some of them are -amazing-.

Kisses by Putigress2012 [Kirk/Spock, OMC/Kirk, Kirk/OFC]
Vulcans kiss with their hands and fingers. Spock has been stealing kisses and the party he's interested in has no idea. Amazing, funny, and really, really cute.

Shameless by Anonymous [Kirk/Spock]
Temporarily-a-girl!Spock wants to experiment. Who better to go to than someone with a great deal of experience?

Everyone Has Boobs, Let's Have a Party by Fortasettu [Kirk/Spock]
Sudden genderswap obviously equals Kirk teaching Spock why lesbians are awesome. In the command chair.

Management by Pru [Kirk/Spock, Spock/Uhura]
Jim can’t keep the Look off of his face when their instructor explains the assignment, and it’s hard not to have a sudden flashback to getting paired up with the kid who ate paste only when he tired of eating his own boogers during the second grade. This is going places, and you are going to love those places dearly.

An Illogically Beautiful Mind by Anonymous [Kirk/Spock, ensemble]
A close-to-canon AU based on five minutes of Good Will Hunting and then evolving into something that absolutely blew me away.

Every day Jim walks by the classroom with the equation on the board, no one's solved it. It's been five months: since the beginning of the semester, and it just sits there, black ink on a white board, expectant. And Jim knows the answer, because it's not a hard equation. It's theoretical, dealing with relativity. If h^4=zy/21x, then the answer has to be √π233/hy7.

Routine by Anonymous [Kirk/Spock, Spock/Uhura]
Where Spock and Kirk have a one-night stand and Kirk only remembers about half of it, and wants it to happen again, but Spock is avoiding him since the next day he had to break up with Uhura. Sweet, and ultimately kind of cute! (Scroll down to "Routine")

The Seasons Change by Le_culdesac [Kirk/Spock]
Waiting for part two! Supposedly tonight? It doesn't matter. Regardless, you need to read this right now. (July 12)

Wait by Fingerstowords [Kirk/Spock, minor Spock/Uhura, Kirk/OFC, Kirk/OMC]
Several times Kirk accidentally kissed Spock the Vulcan way (and didn't know he was doing anything strange) and one time Spock kissed him the human way (on purpose and with a vengeance). Delightful!

Bad Things With You by Anonymous [Kirk/Spock, past Spock/Uhura]
Kirk takes matters into his own hands when Spock is being thick. He starts imagining vivid fantasies every time he touches Spock until the message gets through.

L/A/S by Pru [Kirk/Spock pre-slash]
I love Pru so, so, SO much. Spock has to go undercover as a hooker. Obviously he will first have to take lessons in hookerology.

A Friend in Need by Awarrington [Kirk/Spock]
Someone rec’d this as aliens accidentally drug Kirk into a super-aroused state and Spock decides that as a friend it’s his job to ...help out, if you will. That’s the second half, but the first half is the slow build of their relationship before that, and really well done.

Vulnerable, Fragile Little Human by Anon [Kirk/Spock]
The reason people rec this isn’t why you should read it. No, read it because Spock is possessive and physically much stronger than Kirk and is willing to wait to bring the full force of his awesomeness into play. (And hot sequel.)

Cold and Wet by Penbrydd [Kirk/Spock]
Not super in-character, but I enjoyed the stuff she did with Vulcan hands in this. Kirk and Spock beam back from the planet with the beginnings of frost bite and instead of going to the med bay, have sex in Spock’s quarters. A little weird, but ultimately enjoyable.

Down the Garden Path by Medie [Kirk/Spock]
Basically a pwp Kirk/inexperienced!always-a-girl!Spock.

Girls are Great by Anonymous [Kirk/girl!Spock]
Scroll down to “Girls are Great”. And then lock the door.

Only Good for Legends by Leupagus [Kirk/Spock, Spock/Uhura, Bones/Amanda?]
A detective story that takes place in a universe very close to that of the movie. Spock is a detective recent to Iowa; Kirk a low-level offender who becomes fascinated with him. Spock’s mom teaches at Starfleet. Starts a little slow but quickly becomes absolutely engrossing. (WIP)

Sentinels and Anchors by Corpus-Invictus [Kirk/Spock, Uhura, Dr McCoy, etc]
A slightly darker and simultaneously lighter close-to-canon au of the movie where Sarek dies when Spock is young. Spock and Amanda move to Earth where Spock is raised without Vulcan help, and his telepathy is both unusual and dangerous-- until he meets Kirk.

The Specifics of Vulcan Daemons by Tinocka [Kirk/Spock, past Spock/Uhura]
A fusion with His Dark Materials. Vulcan Daemons don’t settle until they’ve bonded, and the crew of the Enterprise has placed bets on what Spock’s Daemon will be. A very sweet, delicately written piece that fleshes out this similar universe well.

The 80/20 Theory As Applied to Cats on The Bed by Lazulisong [Kirk/Spock pre-slash/friendship; Dr. McCoy]
The one where Jim wasn’t hugged enough as a child and Spock keeps waking up with his captain and several cats in his bed, in a platonic fashion. Surprisingly sweet.

No Win Scenario by Singingintime [Kirk/Spock, Kirk/Bones friendship]
This ends with the possibility that Kirk will die on the away mission, but I’m hoping for a sequel where Spock rips to shreds anyone who stops him from saving Kirk. The idea is Kirk is facing a no-win scenario finally, and if he’s going to go out fighting he’s also going to finally kiss Spock, and mean it.

This Rebellious Nature by Keelywolfe [Kirk/Spock]
Spock is on his first trip to Earth with his father. Left alone at the transport station he meets Jim, who flirts outrageously and eventually wins him over. (pre-movie, blending into it perfectly at the end.)

The Sky Was Made For Us Tonight by Waketosleep [Kirk/Spock]
A somewhat dystopian AU where the Vulcans decided long ago that humans left free to run about space were dangerous, and that was before Jim Kirk was born. Now Jim convinces Spock to run away with him because all of space is waiting.

A Very Captainly Demeanour by Simoneallen [Kirk/Spock]
“No need, Captain,” Spock said, still gazing impassively at him. “Your off duty attire is a matter entirely at your own discretion,” he paused, “as is the location in which you choose to wear that attire.”

Siren Song by Vellum [Kirk/Spock pre-slash]
Aliens give Kirk a plain ring in a fancy box.

Untitled Teacher AU by Anonymous [Kirk/Spock, team]
Kirk, Spock & Co are teachers (except for Chekov, their resident genius student). With Kirk new to the school he asks to take leadership of the chess club that Spock is also interested in and things get a little tense before they get amazing. Check out Kirk’s amazing interdisciplinary approach and Spock’s militant upbringing. Amazing. You must read this.

Mind Over Matter by Anonymous [Kirk/Spock, Spock/Uhura]
For something that started off almost squicking me with the embarrassment factor, this quickly became something I absolutely adore.

Pink by the-deep-magic [Kirk/Spock]
Huh, Jim thinks as he propels himself toward the shower, listing gently to port, I could’ve sworn I was wearing underwear yesterday.

The Truth of the Matter by JBMcDragon [Kirk/Spock]
Spock accidentally says too much, hopped up on an overdose of alien truth serum.

Logical Customs by manic-intent [Kirk/Spock pre-slash]
A very interesting, very different close to canon au where Pike is Kirk’s godfather, so Kirk is raised at the academy after his mom dies.

Jim Is a Super Awesome Nurse by Leupagus [Kirk/Spock]
A little snippet from Jim’s POV in part two where he’s taking care of Spock. Very sweet.

The Cuddling Conundrum by ewinfic [Kirk/Spock]
Spock learns that Kirk is a cuddler and has broken off past relationships because partners wouldn’t cuddle him enough. So before even trying to start a relationship, Spock decides to research cuddling and make sure he is an expert. Of course things go terribly.

Silver Lining by Awarrington [Kirk/Spock, Spock/Uhura, Spock/OMC, Kirk/OFC]
Spock is still in a relationship with Uhura when he has his first Pon Farr. Kirk diverts the Enterprise to New Vulcan so Spock can marry T’Pring, who survived Vulcan’s destruction. However, when he gets there, he finds his wedding doesn’t go according to plan.

Girl, You’re Like a Weird Vacation by Leupagus [Kirk/Spock]
The fact that this is only part one of two is breaking my heart. Also the fact that I reached the end of part one right before I had to go to work for 8 hours. WOE. (girl!Spock beams down for vacation with Kirk, Bones, and Uhura. Shit hits the fan in interesting ways.)


Zachary Quinto/Chris Pine (Pinto RPS)


Adumbrating by Fortassetu [Zach Quinto/Chris Pine]
Oh god, I can't believe I just enjoyed Star Trek RPS. Oh god. But it's about vocabulary! “I don’t; my mom does,” Chris says. Zach raises an eyebrow.

“How old is she? I thought only hard-core sci-fi fans watched that, or teenagers,” he muses, and Chris slaps him upside the head until they’re both laughing again. When he gets up to open the door for the delivery he makes sure the box sets of Heroes are hidden by all the DVDs of old Star Trek episodes.

Hit the Floor by Winterlive [Zach/Chris]
Okay, fine, [info]merrilily, you win. This was totally super ridiculously hot. And surprisingly sweet. (Sequel to a fic linked at the top.)

Work it Out by Winterlive [Zach/Chris]
Third and final part! Oh god, I died a million times reading this. Chris sets out to seduce Zach into something more permanent, Zoe makes oblique comments, Zach resists and finally caves and at the end of it all the last few lines will leave you laughing and warm.

Spelling Bee In Your Pants by Antihysteric [Zach/Chris]
An AU that makes unqualified sense. Zach and Chris are high school English teachers who decide to start a spelling bee team and indulge in some serious vocabulary building.

Impressive by Elandrialore [Zach/Chris]
People will tell you to read this because Zach makes Chris wear a buttplug during interviews. And that's awesome, but the hook for me was that he won't let Chris come until he impresses him with something other than sex. And I bet you know what that something winds up being.

For the Nights I Can't Remember by Vvvaudevillian [Zach/Chris]
Involved! Long! But oh god does this ever need a beta reader. Chris has never really know what being ignored felt like, exactly, until Zachary made it a point.
.

Gen/Misc


Telenovela by Chaletian [Gen / various pairings depending]
“Scott – Montgomery… I don’t know how to tell you this.” Archer hesitated. “I… am your… father -
Nyet. That is not right.
- I… am your… grandfather.” Where Chekov imagines telenovela-like drama around him to spice things up.
