<blockquote>All records of communication between Starfleet Cadet Therem Harth rem ir Estraven and Ashe Foreth rem ir Osboth are hereby sealed, by order of Argaven XV.</blockquote>

<blockquote>There is never any sneaking around in the dimly lit corridors of ship’s night, or discreet Vulcan kisses in the nooks of engineering. Unless Jim is incredibly tired, or stressed, there are no lingering looks on the bridge, either. The stakes are far too high. OR Admitting to each other that they are in love is not an issue. The problem is revealing it to everyone else. This is how Jim and Spock’s relationship would be if Starfleet actually enforced fraternization regulations.</blockquote>

<blockquote>When Jim gets Spock to sign on as his first officer, the last thing he expects is to be handed a classified medical dispensation form. Because Spock’s going to be sick, and he knows it, and the only solution will be to haul ass back to New Vulcan. Desperate for details, Jim concocts a plan. But the more time he spends befriending Spock, the less he can deny his love for his Vulcan first officer. Because Jim might not know what exactly is going to happen to Spock, but he does know one thing: he’ll do absolutely anything to keep him by his side.</blockquote>

<blockquote>The Enterprise is preparing for a 2-year refit between missions. Kirk has a proposal.</blockquote> ➤ Not sure how to tag this one! It's about a committed life partnership even though Kirk is straight -- not something commonly depicted in fiction

<blockquote>Uhura ends up in Kirk's mom's body. Then shit gets weird.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Sometimes they’ll also ask him why he hasn’t gone out and chased his soulbond yet. Jim will point to the sky, and say, “The moon’s always there, babe. Don’t need to go chasin’ after her.” It is January, year 2063. Humanity has quietly achieved interstellar travel, and Jim Kirk’s soulbond stretches into the stars.</blockquote>

<blockquote>The obligatory Pon Farr story . . . with a bit of a twist.</blockquote> ➤ the twist is BODYSWAP

<blockquote>At seventeen Jim says that he wants to leave, and T’Sol suggests the Vulcan Science Academy, and that’s that.</blockquote>

<blockquote>When Jim and Spock meet as teenagers on Tarsus IV and endure unspeakable horrors together, it seems like nothing can separate them. Until, that is, Jim is forced to burn every last trace of himself from Spock’s mind to keep him safe. Years later, Jim is still a smoldering husk, but it seems amnesia has been good to Spock. To remind him of the world they built together before the famine—and of how it ended—would be too cruel. Wouldn’t it? But when Starfleet tasks the Enterprise with hunting Kodos down, old scars will be torn open and hidden secrets will come to light, forcing Jim and Spock to reconsider everything they thought they knew about their shared history on Tarsus IV.</blockquote>

<blockquote>At age five, Spock informs his mother that it is illogical to wish him “sweet dreams” at bedtime because Vulcans do not dream. “Oh, Spock,” she says.</blockquote> ➤ the one where the enterprise becomes sentient

<blockquote>Jim is looking forward to rolling into bed after a nice relaxing game of chess when Spock decides to conclude the evening by announcing, "There is a 71.936 percent chance that I will develop romantic regard for you during the period spanning ten months from the present moment and four years, two months and fifteen days from the present moment."</blockquote> ➤ demisexual/demiromantic Spock.

<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>“I don’t care who watches,” he murmurs against Spock’s mouth. “I ain’t having sex with you unless I can kiss you. Unless I can see your face. Unless I can look at you and know that it’s you I’m doing this with.”</blockquote>

<blockquote>In which Jim finds himself fake-married to his first officer every other month. It's not his fault. Mostly. Dowries and Klingons are involved. Starfleet is decidedly not amused.</blockquote> ➤ what excellent fun with tropes. And I love how it ends!

<blockquote>After Jim's (very) near death experience, Spock finds himself exponentially more aware of Jim's consciousness, even when they aren't in physical contact. But he doesn't need to bother a recovering Jim with that knowledge, especially since they've been spending so much time together lately. Nothing could possibly go wrong.</blockquote> ➤ doesn't do as much with the bonding thing throughout most of the fic as I wanted but still a good fic for other reasons

<blockquote>When Nyota agreed to let Gaila set her up on a blind date, she never imagined it would be with Dr. McCoy -- and she definitely never imagined that she would end up liking him.</blockquote>

<blockquote>The abridged sexual history of James Tiberius Kirk. Or, Jim’s varyingly unhealthy idea of what sex is supposed to be (a it-gets-worse-before-it-gets-better story)</blockquote> ➤ a Tarsus IV story and how it affects him

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

<blockquote>Prompt: This wasn’t meant to be a date, but we’ve had such a good time and now it’s 2 a.m. and I should really go home… Pairing: T'Pring/Uhura (T'Pura) Rating: G Universe: Academy AU</blockquote>

<blockquote>An attempt to work WITH the ongoing Spock/Uhura pairing.</blockquote> ➤ (the spock/uhura is background, the focus is on kirk/spock)

<blockquote>TO: Commander Spock, USS Enterprise NC-1701 FROM: Sybok, Vulcan Embassy, San Francisco, Earth RE: T’Pring lol</blockquote>

<blockquote>When Jim agreed to pretend to be in a relationship with Spock, he didn't realize exactly what he was signing up for. (See: incompetent aliens and broken bones. It's not great, but Spock is.)</blockquote> ➤ I am amused by the extremely incompetent and polite aliens who kidnap jim

<blockquote>Sometimes they’ll also ask him why he hasn’t gone out and chased his soulbond yet. Jim will point to the sky, and say, “The moon’s always there, babe. Don’t need to go chasin’ after her.”   It is January, year 2063. Humanity has quietly achieved interstellar travel, and Jim Kirk’s soulbond stretches into the stars.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Stranded on the planet Sigma Nox while searching for a missing away team, Spock and Kirk find themselves pitted against a disturbing native life form. With the captain out of commission on a regular basis and Spock struggling to preserve his stoicism, staying alive is difficult enough – but when a slim chance for escape surfaces, their resolve is truly put to the test. Together they must fight for survival in the heart of an alien jungle, and in the process, uncover the mystery of the planet’s past. Slow build K/S. Written for the 2011 Star Trek Big Bang on LJ - look for links to the mix and art there! Warnings: Minor character death. Mind control themes and sort-of-zombies. Dark at times due to twisted xenobiological shenanigans. Mild themes of stress-related weight loss. Heaps of TOS references and/or spoilers. Eventual smut. Freakishly long chapters.</blockquote> ➤ A very good fic! I loved the inclusion and importance of Longclaw, and how different she was while still able to work together with them. ➤ I was also very interested by the ecology/history/alien-anthropology of the planet, and although I am sad the fic didn't end by giving us conclusions about exactly what all is going on with this place, it leaves the characters also invested and wanting/intending to know more, which was good and worked for the fic.

<blockquote>“Jim Kirk.” Jim whipped around so fast most of his drink ended up on Spock, who was reaching for the phaser that wasn’t there. The Enterprise crew was parting like the biblical seas before Moses, and Jim could feel the temperature dropping. “Mom,” Jim croaked.</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>It's hard to know what you're looking for when you don't realize it's missing.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Jaylah has to wear the uniform. It's not as bad as it could be.</blockquote>

<blockquote>AU. A divided Vulcan is at civil war and at war with the Federation. After crash-landing on Vulcan, McCoy and Spock must work together to survive the desert and the war.</blockquote>
