<blockquote>James Kirk was the rudest student Professor Heleine ever taught. He stomped out of the middle of the professor's lecture like he wasn't a mere cadet. Well, the professor was done putting up with him. If he couldn't sit through an expert lecture, then he should give the lecture about Tarsus. That would teach him some respect.</blockquote>

<blockquote>The thing people always forget is that it was a Vulcan ship that reached Tarsus IV first.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Jaylah's friends have presents for her.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Academy fic. Dr. Leonard McCoy thinks he has nothing in common with command-track cadet Jim Kirk, until a series of events forces them together. When a simple training mission is derailed into a seemingly hopeless situation, both have to learn to trust one another, and they’ll need all their wits and survival skills to stay alive.</blockquote> ➤ reminds me a lot of the kinds of things sholio writes - h/c wilderness survival gen (with complications beyond wilderness survival) and this author does it well too

<blockquote>Five uses for an abandoned starship</blockquote>

<blockquote>“What is taquitos,” she asks her house, carefully, in its tongue.</blockquote> ➤ this is SO GOOD

<blockquote>What Jaylah did next.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Jaylah and Nyota and language.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Within her first week at Starfleet Academy, Jaylah hacked into the environmental controls and security systems of her dorm– because she was bored and twitchy, because she didn’t know what to do with a home she had not taken apart and re-wired herself.</blockquote>

<blockquote>"I'm here to ask for help - not in any official capacity, just from one person who's a shitty dancer to someone who's actually kind of terrific at it."</blockquote>

<blockquote>This is just a little thing--see, raphaela667 wrote this really lovely story, Five Times James T Kirk Didn't Get Married (And One Time He Did), and I was so very intrigued by the ideas in the first one that I just had to poke around a bit. Besides, it was only a matter of time before he found out he had a kid.</blockquote>

<blockquote>In the wake of the Narada Incident, Number One tries to prevent war from breaking out on the edge of the Neutral Zone, and Jennifer Colt tries to survive her assignment as Admiral Pike's new assistant.</blockquote> ➤ genfic about a female character dealing with grief/loss, it's like this fic was meant for me

<blockquote>Nyota flunks a simulation at the Academy, and Gaila's there for her. After all, what are sisters for?</blockquote>

<blockquote>The reporters are looking for a story about Tarsus IV, but Jim doesn't have one he wants to tell.</blockquote>

<blockquote>After Khan, Jim has a few residual issues. Spock helps him. Naturally, there's a strange Vulcan practice for everything.</blockquote> ➤ writing on the body and also hugs!

<blockquote>More than one friendship was derailed by the Narada’s arrival.</blockquote> ➤ (on the spock-bones friendship)

<blockquote>Uhura’s eyes go wide and alarmed as soon as she sees him. “Captain. You have a baby. Who gave you a baby?” “Her parents. The Ambassadors.” Honestly, there is no need for this level of dismay. Jim’s totally on top of this. He brandishes the arm with the baby attached to it show exactly how on top of this he is. The baby’s rock-solid grip doesn’t falter at all; she just gurgles and continues to mouth at Jim’s elbow. “Actually, I was hoping you could help me out with some language stuff. Do you think this bronze color on her cheeks means happy?”</blockquote>

<blockquote>Two indecent exposure citations, one best friend, one amazing sex partner, one unexpected mentor, and a Starfleet-funded study of intercultural sexual norms. Sounds like a normal academic year for Gaila.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Winona is called to fix the cock-up of the Yorktown's engines. She uses one of the science-bitches to help her do it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Just after the end of their first five year mission, Jim and Bones buy an apartment together and take a sabbatical. The only problem is, Bones can't sleep. He really, really can't fucking sleep.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Six small stories to explain how Ensign Darwin (aka that awesome bald lady on the bridge) came to Starfleet and pursued command.</blockquote> ➤ a quote from the fic: <blockquote>Under describe your community service, Aisha types "I don't know what you mean by community service. When something needs done, you do it. That's not service. It's not a favor. It's your job." Her English teacher deducts ten points for the response. Starfleet Academy lets her in.</blockquote>

<blockquote>If it had been her who died in the destruction of Vulcan. She thinks about it, sometimes, when she can’t sleep at night. * AU: If Sarek had died in the destruction of Vulcan, but Amanda survived.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Aisha Darwin likes being bald. She doesn't care for other people's reaction to it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Spock Prime reads the newspaper, hijinks ensue.</blockquote> ➤ Author's note: <blockquote>Phosfate and I were pondering under what circumstances Khan's race change even made sense, and the wrongly revived soldier going "sure, I'm Khan" theory won out.</blockquote>

<blockquote>In the two weeks following the events of Star Trek Into Darkness, a Starfleet officer tries to put Starfleet back together again. As a friend pointed out, anyone looking for a fic with plot and subtlety should probably not read this fic. It might work whether you liked the movie or not, but I wrote it in order to address multiple aspects of fail. It should probably be titled, Why I Love Starfleet.</blockquote> ➤ I cannot even with how perfect and right this fic is.

<blockquote>You know what they say: the more things change... (Carol stays the same.)</blockquote>

<blockquote>McCoy comes to the conclusion that they'll all be much better off if Starfleet never finds out about Khan's superblood or the serum he derived from it. He enlists Spock to help him bury the secret.<blockquote>

<blockquote>After they've saved the Earth and destroyed the Narada, all they have to do is figure out how to get back home.</blockquote>
