It’s Been A While Since I Shared My Fic. She’s Now 21 Chapters And Going Strong!!

Kirk bod appreciation #4: The Curves. The Back. Poetry in motion. 

Here we honour the Kirk ‘hourglass’. The broad shoulders tapering into that lower back - and then flaring out again at those hips. Those HIPS. Those hips DO NOT lie. He has a broad back and such proportioning that one doesn’t always notice his hips aren’t so typically narrow, but stand him next to Bones or Spock - or even the girls - and just look at how endowed they are. Hot news: men have hips! And boy, is that hot. AND as if they weren’t gorgeous enough just existing in this flawless form, he actually swings them. Can we just correct another bro-ism: Kirk does not ‘swagger’. Kirk swings his hips. Like a sassy bih. This is one of the many reasons why James Kirk is special and utterly precious. 

Season 3 is the icing on the cake: he fills out a little, everything fits that bit tighter, and WOW. Look at that TURN, and the peek of the taut, firm Tum™. Hello friend, welcome. Kirk has what one might call the ‘bubble tum’, like the ‘bubble butt’. Thicc from the back AND front. Indeed, the shrink-wrapped glutes go without saying - it is a crime that we are never gifted, despite the shirts ripping constantly, a single moment of those *pants* ripping. That ass not able to be contained, bursting for freedom like his nips in Amok Time (which didn’t at all have sexual connotations…NOT AT ALL). Spock blushing bright green. Bones rolling his eyes.

Now don’t be thinking these are just dribble-posts, like the bros do over the girls; no. This lightly humoured appreciation is partly in response to those who criticise Kirk’s weight and build. Criticise WHAT I hear you cry??! I know. I don’t get it either. So here we are. Kirk, our intelligent, compassionate bookworm; our soft, smiling, curvaceous, chubby hunk who don’t need no six pack to be Jim Kirk. It’s part of his character; it’s part of his physical presence, how he moves, how he walks. How he proudly inhabits that bod - and what that says about him. He’s a man, he’s unbound; he’s his own version. He communicates, enviably, body confidence incarnate, while busting stereotypes and being utterly true. What an icon. We love him and celebrate his beauty inside and out.

I could totally imagine when Ken arrives to the Ultra's home planet it's gonna be like that awkward feeling where you go to family reunion to the side of the family you never met before. Aunts and Uncles that never heard of you before being all surprised and crowding around and the cousins who already have that bond either unintentionally excluding you and/or awkwardly carving out a space to include you in the plans. And Ken is 26, he's basically the baby too so that's a whole nother thing.

These three are totally the cousins that claim him bc they're the closest in age (and not bc I'm currently watching the series)

And he's a hybrid so everyone is going to have questions, maybe like how is the "human host" surviving or why is he so small or tall depends jk

Oh then they're totally going to fuss when they find out he has a daughter,

It's like visiting cousins from another country tbh

the aos multiverse fic is DONE!!! thank you so much for reading, i hope y'all enjoyed!! :) <3

At the start of the 5-year mission, Jim is still unsteady from the fallout of the warp core and its impact on his friendship with Spock, but he’s doing a decent job of pretending like he isn’t. Until an omnipotent being decides he could use a day trip to an alternate universe, that is.

Or: A desperately pining Jim crosses paths with a desperately lonely Spock.

hi liz please can you give me a spirk fic rec (besides yours, obviously i’ve already read that) (something with good spock characterization would be great!!)

HELLO sorry for taking so long to get back to you. this is haaard bc so many of my favs also involve the ot3 (bones i love you) and also i wanna make a longer rec list someday but i am going to give you just a few that come to mind first so that this doesn't languish forever in my ask box. i'm not copypasting summaries notes etc like i would for a Proper Rec List so please READ THEM read the warnings everybody always read warnings. mix of aos/tos since u didn't specify and since you read mine i'm assuming you don't mind either <3 and in no particular order. ok here we go <3

Bare Your Faces of the Veil by flippyspoon - TOS - spock gets split into human and vulcan halves and he is really dead forever (until he isnt). this one actually got me misting up, it was awful, and it's more kirk-centric, but it's really good

anchor by Sir_Bedevere - TOS - post plato's stepchildren coda. it's again mostly kirk but also very quiet and a really good comedown from All Of That

The Black Knight and the Moon by Waid - AOS - pon farr fic will absolutely fuck you up. double read the warnings on this one bc it's not just sad it's EXTREMELY upsetting, intentionally extremely upsetting, but it's probably the best characterized AOS spirk fic and most realistic thought experiment i've ever read

Grief as a four-dimensional figure by Moreta1848 - mostly AOS with some TVH elements - everyone goes back in time to try and save vulcan. GREAT spock stuff in this one. i bonus rec most of this author's stuff actually (they have an au of earth being hit instead of vulcan in aos and tos intersex spock) - a lot of it is verrry long but i read as they update so the little pieces are fine.

Cosmic Fuck series by Gayle F - 1 2 3 4 - TOS - this is just straight smut, but it's VINTAGE smut, and also first fic to feature the famous vulcan double ridges. the last one is the first ever kirk/spock/bones (sorry i know you said spirk) so it's just full of historical relevance. sometimes the smut gets a little weird (the first fic is technically a dubcon situation because of pon farr and in the last fic they get off on a tangent about toe-sucking) and since it's not tagged you do have to go in a little blind. i've only read the middle two once and don't remember them well (so i can't help you out with warnings) but i reread the last one alllll the time. it's a really refreshing writing voice and feels so different from fanfic today wrt to how it talks about sexuality. the final fic (SORRY AGAIN) stands well on its own and is actually my fav TOS fic of all time <3

TMA time travel AU but -

Jon comes back as a child and gets adopted by elias (keeping enemies closer) 

they try to stop each other’s plan but end up distracted and forming some weird kind of family (jon gets to grow up with more people around him,, and elias / jonah’s biggest fear becomes losing jon to enemies ASLKDLSJF)

i know it’s a bit delusional but i have read three 100k+ word fanfics on this idea and they are all super angsty and unfinished im fucking dyinggggg i just had to let this out because i am Not Okay

💛💙SPIRK FIC REC💙💛

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. 😂

Hi there, your blog is getting me through uni, thank you 😭🎉❤️ Have you heard of any fics where merlin dies or they think he dies, but then he comes back because he’s immortal or something and fluff ensues?

Aw, thanks! Here’s what I have for you:

Beyond Recall

When You’re Not Watching 

From the Ashes

The Sorcerer and the King

All the Laughter From Before

Safety Measures and Clumsy Warlocks

Hope this helps! You can also look through the immortal Merlin tag here

ok so i'm obsessed with film making allusions to famous works of art and the symbolism of certain pieces and all that pretentious shit.

so i haven't been able to stop thinking about, if peter died, erik holding his body like michelangelo's pietà, which is the one where mary is cradling jesus' body after he's crucified. and it's literally one of my favorite things to see referenced in movies since it connotes kind of a mix of tragic loss of innocent life and a heroic death. and i just can't get peter draped over erik's lap like that out of my head.

and if the shot started close on erik's broken face then pulled away slowly until it was a very symmetrical wide shot as all the metal around him starts vibrating violently-

anyway

Measure of Men (Series) by MonstrousRegiment

Star Trek (2009)/Incomplete/Works: 2   Words: 25,178   // One of my favorite crew fics. Because they’re  loyal and defensive and a family and I love them.

I want to read a really good Spirk AOS fanfic 😔
