Academy Era Mckirk

I live for Headcannons likes these

I’m a dummy bc there’s a cool alien hybrid in media and the headcanons I focus on/come up w/ are the little things like hunger cues or slight physical differences or food requirements. Like a genuinely believe his food requirements are that of an Ultra and cues vary between that of a human and ultra, so that means Mina provides assistance. Bro definitely eats or drinks over his fill or under sometimes due to the mixed signals.

Yes I’m over thinking it

This AOS one-shot is a lot of fun. It's an academy era fic in which Uhura dares Jim to learn any language she chooses, fluently, within one month. If he wins she has to go on a date with him, if she wins he has to report to Admiral Pike naked 😂 of course, if you need to learn to speak Vulcan FAST, it's only logical to go straight to the source and ask for lessons from the only Vulcan professor at the academy.

A lovely AOS fic today 😊 In the midst of Vulcan's destruction, Jim Kirk saves the life of a Human woman he only later learns the name of: Amanda Grayson. It isn’t long before Spock finds gratitude transforming into a crippling and terribly inconvenient attraction. 😂

Anyone wanting to read about Arthur going mad because he just discovered Merlin has an accent from living in Ealdor but it only appears in certain situations and he has never heard it? Well, so do I.

By the way, "The way you speak" by Herondale_34 in AO3 :))

Last chapter published!

Jim Kirk Playlist

I love listening to music to get inspired. This has manifested itself into playlists for the main seven in TOS and AOS. I don't have playlists for specific ships just because I have so many so all the songs for all my ships for a certain character are an amalgamation of angst and fluff!

This is mainly for AOS btw, and I've only included the non-shipping ones that are included in my timeline. Let's go!

Run Boy Run | Woodkid- Tarsus IV, Jim was chosen, he ran away and collapsed in the arms of a Starfleet officer

San Francisco | Scott McKenzie- Jim exploring Starfleet Academy in his first week there

Mambo No.5 | Lou Bega- Jim having fun 😉

Golden | Harry Styles- This is the most shippy this is going to get, but only because this is in every timeline for all of my ships. It's Jim and Bones friendship during the academy years, how they're the only people that truly understand each other. But it's also Bones developing a crush on Jimmy boy, this also contains an "I'll patch you up after a bar fight but you're going to get flirty scolding too scene"

I Love to Boogie | T Rex- Just Jim and Bones drunk off their tits dancing once exams are over

Honky Cat | Elton John- I just need Jim getting ready for the day to this song, it's a great montage song

Let Us Adore You | Steven Universe the Movie- This just makes me think of the Admirals loving Jim when the 5 year mission starts because he's living up to his father, finally

Space Oddity | David Bowie- I imagine that Ambassador Spock left Spock a load of Old Earth pop culture things he found, one of them is this song. So he and Jim listen on the observation deck with the gravity off

Escapism | Steven Universe- This is inspires a scene in a fanfiction I'm currently drafting, so no spoilers 😉

And now some non-shippy Jim vibes!

Sexyback | Justin Timberlake- Do you need an explanation?

I'm Too Sexy | Right Said Fred- See above comment (also the video I put in was by Putnik68)

Cut to the Chase | Rush- Jim training, maybe anti gravity training or with new tech

Love Like You | Steven Universe- Self-esteem issues with Leonard and Spock but they all think this about themselves and the others

Other Friends | Steven Universe Movie- Mirror!Kirk, maybe he finds some of his officers have joined the resistance?

Here Comes a Thought | Steven Universe- Anxiety and feelings ☹

7 Rings | Ariana Grande- Just imagine the main 7 being sassy to this

Candyman | Christina Aguilera- Jim being sexy yet again, maybe some dancing too

Seaside Rendezvous | Queen- This song is a bop but full of crack, they probably just sing this after too much wine, or fruit cocktails for Spock

Strangers | Taemin- Just undercover spy vibes

What do you think of my choices? Do you have any songs that scream Jim? I hope you enjoyed listening to this, I'll probably do Spock next because, trust me, Bones has many many songs in his playlist!

Another Tarsus IV fic rec. Thirty in all.

These recs are made of fics that are about Tarsus IV or reference Tarsus IV. Hope you enjoy. 

Rivers by n_anon on archiveofourown. Rated Mature. Summary: A tale of two people averse to the concept of destiny, but who can’t seem to escape it.

The Cave by elospock on archiveofourown. Rated Mature. Summary: Most probably a slow K/S, post-STID. After Khan was defeated, the Enterprise was given a five-year mission to explore the uncharted and the unknown. However, things seem to be quite rocky between Captain James T. Kirk and his First Officer Spock. And they don’t seem to get any better as Kirk’s past resurfaces in disquieting circumstances…The rating might have to be changed to rape/non-con and graphic depiction of violence, though it doesn’t concern the first chapters. It might eventually get pretty intense, though that part of the story is not written yet. Not for the fainthearted (though I don’t know, it might not be that extreme… better be safe than sorry, in any case! And I don’t want to mislead anybody either!)LLAP!

Five People Who Were Affected by Kirk’s Death by Starsinger on fanfiction.net. Rated Teen. Summary: And One Whose Death Affected Him. Okay, so I’m trying my hand at this five things thing, and it’ll probably be lame. Who knows? I don’t.

Jim’s Haunting Past by kiylitier on fanfiction.net. Rated Teen. Summary:Jim and Bones are contacted to secretly meet Pike at Star Fleet’s headquarters. But when attacked in an alleyway injuring Kirk, a figure appears to bring back memories that were buried deep. Kirk goes instantly into PTSD causing Bones to worry about his friends.

Murderer, Myself by heathersdomain on archiveofourown. Rated Teen. Summary: Anton Karidian is dead - shot by his own daughter, who had been aiming for Captain Kirk when Karidian stepped in the way.But there’s more to it than that. It doesn’t take Spock long to see the discrepancy, to notice the difference, to realize its implications. The problem is, what to do once he’s realized the truth: that Karidian died because Captain Kirk allowed him to?Post The Conscience of the King.

With the help of FoxyK I’m finally getting around to betaing this for typos. Most of the fic- plot points, etc- should stay the same, unless one of us finds something especially cringe-worthy!

Melt This Frozen Heart by Boonaddicious  on archiveofourown. Rated Teen. Summary: Kirk receives a unique gift on an away mission - a gift that will bring his fears to the light, and test his relationship to the most important person in his life.“Kirk took a deep breath and dropped his impromptu weapon. The energy had left his hands, but adrenaline still pumped through his system. He knew this would require quite a bit of explanation, but the sheer elation of having beaten this psycho with some preternatural ability made him feel like he could walk on water. However, his mood darkened when he turned to look at Spock.Spock was gripping his injured arm as he sat on the ground, and was staring at Jim with unmasked fear.”

He wears his bare skin with only his own tattoo circling his ankle as a badge of honor.He meets a man named Leonard McCoy on a shuttle in Riverside, Iowa who believes exactly the opposite.(That AU in which everyone is born with a unique tattoo on their ankle that no one else has and every time you fall in love, their tattoo appears somewhere on your body.)

Crash of Expectations by vamprav on archiveofourown. Rated Teen. Summary: In another place, in another time Kirk hacked into the Kobayashi Maru and broke it. In this place and in this time Kirk hacks and the Kobayashi Maru and fixes it. But what’s different about him, what made him change his mind. The answer is obvious of course.

They are led by the most unpredictable and explosive duo that has ever graced Starfleet Command.Alpha and Beta Quadrants are reeling under the after-effects of Nero’s second rampage.

Not This Time on SineadRivka on archiveofourown. Rated Teen. Summary: The crack of rock startled Spock, causing him to bark for a status update from Chekov. He wrapped an arm around his mother’s waist, fingers gripping hard enough that he hoped he wouldn’t bruise his human parent. And then the ground gave way. Distantly, the words, “I’m losing them, I’m losing them!” echoed from the communicator clipped to his belt.White surrounded them, and he felt himself falling …

Spock Prime raises Kirk, teaching him all he needs to know. Bonus points if Kirk ends up meeting nuSpock.You own my soul if you include the line: “He is just like you Jim. A bit more calm, a bit more knowledgeable, but I can see you in every move he makes. You’d be proud of him, dear friend.”

💛💙SPIRK FIC REC💙💛

‘A hell of his making’ is a great AOS fic full of angst, and don’t we all love some angst when it comes to our boys! 😂 Spock is struggling with the knowledge that Jim is his T’hy’la but that he has been harmed by Spock’s own hands (choking him on the bridge) one of the most grievous transgressions in Vulcan culture. How can he reconcile his guilt and self recrimination and find a way to remain at Jim’s side?
