I present to you an AOS fake marriage fic of the best kind! 😁

The brass are trying to force Spock into a command of his own, something in which Spock has no interest as he would rather focus on his science duties and stay on the Enterprise. Well versed in regulations, our cunning Vulcan explains that if he and Jim were legally married then Starfleet couldn’t split them up and he’d be free to remain in his current post. What could possibly go wrong!?! 😂😂😂

This is a lovely AOS fic by the excellent @museaway. After their battle with the Narada the Enterprise crew are back on Earth and Jim takes off to his farmhouse in Iowa to escape the media frenzy. After a bit of miscommunication he finds Spock on his doorstep with a bag and reluctantly inherits a house guest. This is a lovely, gentle fic where they get to know each other better in the aftermath of shared trauma.

‘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?

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. 😂

A superb AOS short story by @cate-adams, in which, having lost his own T'hy'la, Mirror Spock comes looking to claim the Jim of the Kelvin timeline as his own to soothe his broken bond.

The Spock of the Kelvin universe objects...quite fervently! 😂 An action packed fic full of idiots in love and evil doppelgängers! Enjoy 😉

This is probably a bit of a Marmite fic... (and for those of you who aren't from the UK, that's a reference to an old marketing campaign that stated "you either love it of you hate it" lol)

It a pretty intense AOS Pon Farr fic, which delves deep into the writers interpretations of Vulcan biology and what goes on during their Time. If you like Feral!Spock then there's a lot to recommend it. And if you like your smut GRAPHIC then you're in for a treat!

If you're of a more sensitive disposition then this one may not be for you, but I enjoyed it and hope a lot of you will too! 😊

If you like your Spirk fics hot, then watch out because this one is practically on fire! 🔥🥵🔥

Just returned from a difficult space mission and about to begin teaching at Starfleet Academy, Spock chooses a logical way to relieve stress: a sexual encounter with someone he'll never meet again. But when Spock discovers his partner of one night is Jim Kirk, a promising new cadet at Starfleet, he's torn between his rational decision to avoid intimate relationships and his increasing fascination with Jim. As Spock's normally orderly life starts to spin out of control, will his obsession with Jim prove his salvation or his undoing?

Your Trouble Is In You by druxy_kexy

Spock relies on his memories of Jim to cope with being stranded in an alternate universe. But after he is poisoned by an unknown substance, his ability to remember his past begins to fade. The crew of the Enterprise joins him in his search to find a cure before all of his memories are gone

Warnings: brief suicidal thoughts

THIS. It is one of the Spock Prime Big Bang fics, has wonderfully original plot and is so well written. I had the honour of doing art for this in the big bang.

Starlight by Brian J Christopher (ikudou)

Spock always considered trying to locate the Nexus illogical, and futile. He didn’t come looking for it; one universe over, it found him. And it was hungry.

What if Picard managed to revive Jim Kirk before Spock set out to save Romulus?

💛💙SPIRK FIC REC💙💛

This is a phenomenally good AOS AU fic in which Spock and Jim live next door to each other as kids and are bonded. When the bond breaks Spock believes Jim dead. Imagine his surprise years later when he spots him on the Starfleet Academy campus!

It’s one of my favourites and definitely worth a read 🥰

Another popular vote from the fanfiction poll I had.

Summary: When Jim Kirk has to go meet with an alien civilization at the insistence of Starfleet Command, he begrudgingly is forced to leave a recovering Spock behind in sickbay. However, the aliens don't seem very interested in discussing things without his "other half," insisting that there is no reason to proceed without Kirk being "fully there."

Whatever the fuck that means.

I JUST POSTED MY FIRST SPIRK FANFICTION IT'S TERRIBLE BUT OMG I'M SO PROUD OF MYSELF IT TOOK ME MONTHS TO GET MY HANDS TO TYPE RIGHT!

HERE IT IS!!! IF ANYONE WANTS TO READ!!!!

Words:9,112 Fandom: Star Trek: Alternate Original Series (Movies), Star Trek Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: James T. Kirk/Spock Characters: James T. Kirk, Spock (Star Trek), Nyota Uhura, Leonard “Bones” McCoy Additional Tags: Fluff, Humor, Romance, Aliens made them kiss

Summary:

“What am I missing?” Jim said, cocking his head.

“You,” Uhura said, pointing at him and then his First Officer, “and Mr. Spock have to kiss each other. And not just a peck, sir. A full-on embrace. With a modest amount of tongue. That was very clear in the brief they sent.”

Next to Jim, Spock breathed in deeply and said, “Ah.”

Jim stared at Uhura. “Uh… Can you check it again?”

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

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.

It was, however, slightly too loud for a grumpy alien with senses more sensitive than a human’s at 5:04.The stranger had spoken five words and done nothing but be bright and smiling and for some reason, this pissed Spock off.

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!

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.

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.

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. In that other place and in that other time Kirk was fully human. In this place and in this time he isn’t. (Another T’Pring on Tarsus IV fic.)

His father’s eyes by Captain_Mercurian  on archiveofourown. Rated Not Rated.

F/M; M/M

Jim/Leo; Spock/Nyota

34844 words; 8 chapters

The crew of the Enterprise is tasked with a classified mission to find a translation device that was developed by Hoshi Sato before her death. The mission takes the Enterprise to the mysterious Tarsus IV, a dead planet that once supported a thriving colony. Concerned about Captain Kirk and Lieutenant Riley’s alarming behavior, the crew delves into Kirk’s old life on Tarsus IV, uncovering the hidden horrors in the planet’s past and finally understanding their Captain in a way they’d never thought possible.

oooh, I have a prompt: Bones somehow learns that Jim was on Tarsus

It’s Pike who tells him.

Leonard has known Jim for over two years now and they’ve been inseparable ever since. He is a man of science, a doctor, he knows that nothing is promised in life. He has lost so much throughout his years - his father, his marriage, his daughter - but he has one certainty left.

It’s that Jim Kirk will be in his life one way or another.

Others must see it too, because one day Bones is called to Pike’s office, and Pike tells him.

“I know how important you are to Jim,” he tells him.

“I also know how important Jim is to you,” he tells him.

“That’s why I’ve decided to tell you something that Jim won’t tell you.”

And Pike tells him, “I’m only telling you so that you now, so that you understand him more.”

And Pike tells him, “You must never tell him you know.”

“What are you saying?” Bones asks, lips pressed together, heart beating fast against his rib cage.

“Jim was on Tarsus IV. Jim is a Tarsus Nine.”

Bones feels the world shattering around him, and yet when he opens his eyes again, breathless and cold, nothing has changed in the world apart from his perception of it.

That night, he doesn’t come back to his room.

He walks and walks, thinking so many thoughts at the same time that he can’t come up with anything, and his mind is like a storm and he’s in the eye of it, and everything around him is moving but he’s not really there.

Jim was on Tarsus IV. Jim is a Tarsus Nine.

It’s unfair, he wants to scream, it’s so wrong. Not Jim, not bright strong beautiful Jim.

And yet it makes sense, a terrible maddening sense. Jim’s fixation on food, the way he always makes sure everyone else is eating before he starts on his own plate, or how he has secret stashes of food, just in case, he says.

It explains the nightmares too, and the sleepless nights, and the heaviness in his eyes he gets sometimes, or how old he appears at times, drained and overcome.

That explains also Jim’s strength. Jim’s courage and unwavering sense of justice. His kindness, his softness also, hidden away under a carefree mask.

“I’m only telling you so that you know, so that you understand him more,” Pike told Bones and Bones understands Jim more than ever.

He also loves and respects him more than ever.

Bones comes back to their room as the sun rises.

“Where were you, man? I was worried sick. Oh, shit, are you okay? Fuck, what happened?”

Bones says nothing. He takes a step towards his friend - amazing and heroic - and puts his arms around him, and holds him tight.

“Bones?”

“I just need you to be here. Please.”

He can feel Jim nod, “Okay. I can do that.”

They won’t mention this again, but now Bones knows, and he understands.

I don’t have a specific Anxious Jim head canon (yet), but I was wondering if you could explain to me this common fanon idea about Jim’s anxiety with food? What is it based on? I’m not trying to argue, I’m just curious!!

For sure. 

So we have confirmation that in The Original Series, Jim was on Tarsus IV. Tarsus IV was a colony settlement that was hit by a severe famine after their crops were blighted in 2246. The governor of the colony, Kodos, panicked and made the decision to save half the colony (around 4,000) by exterminating the other half in favor of survival for the “better” of the colonists, based purely on eugenics.  

Staging a political coup and taking full control of the settlement, he made two lists: one list of who would be allowed to live, and another of those who would be sentenced to die. Gathering up the latter half, he delivered an address to the colonists: 

“The revolution is successful. But survival depends on drastic measures. Your continued existence represents a threat to the well-being of society. Your lives mean slow death to the more valued members of the colony. Therefore, I have no alternative but to sentence you to death. Your execution is so ordered, signed Kodos, Governor of Tarsus IV.” 

This event came to be known as “The Sacrifice”, and just over 4,000 people were put to death in one fell swoop. 

Supplies and aid came sooner than anticipated. The Sacrifice was not necessary, but corrupt politics and eugenics had already taken their toll. Jim Kirk– as well as Kevin Riley– were survivors of the massacre. They are among 9 survivors that can positively identify Kodos the Executioner on sight. 

We do not know which list Jim was one, but fanon suggests that Jim– a young teen at the time of the massacre– rounded up those he could find and did his best to take care of them. He called them “his kids”, and he put himself at risk to provide them with what little food and shelter he could. 

The Alternate Original Series has made brief, fleeting mention of Tarsus in Into Darkness, and fanon has decided that as there are constants in every timeline, Jim was most likely on Tarsus then, as well. 

As such, having been in a highly stressful and traumatizing situation for an undetermined amount of time, fighting for survival and denied adequate food and nutrition, it stands to reason that Jim has some food issues. 

Let me know if you have any other questions! I’ll do my best to answer! 

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!

Do you know of any fics that have the any of crew learning about Jim’s past like with Frank or tarsus IV?❤️

Hi! So I actually have a lot of answers to this question - Tarsus IV is my kryptonite. 

So Wise We Grow

Spock and Kirk raise a child together. At one point, spock and the bridge crew find out about Kirk’s past child abuse at the hands of Frank

Sound as Stone

Kirk’s close friends figuring out his Tarsus connection

tomorrow is another day and you won't have to hide away, when the night fades away (run boy, run)

they teach Tarsus IV as a class in the Academy, and Kirk’s classmates find out. Pike helps him calm down.

Ingenious Idiot

Teaching Tarsus

Kirk’s professor finds him disrespectful and makes him teach a class on Tarsus without realizing that he’s a survivor

I think I might actually have more answers to this question, I just have to track them down. I’ll do a part two in a little bit. 

If anyone else has any more fics that should be added to list list, please add them!

One of the Best Tarsus IV fics out there

I've been trying to remember what fandom this is from, maybe you can help me. I read some fics, and in them a character had grown up on some colonized/enslaved planet and there were a bunch of kids that got rescued from it, and he didn't like to let people know he was one of them. It was a m/m ship, and honestly that's all I remember. For some reason I thought it was Bones/Jim Kirk, but that's obvi not it because I know star trek. Help??

Hmm. Well, there are a lot of fics that deal with what happened on Tarsus IV. I can rec you stories that deal directly with it, deal with Jim's trauma from it, or mention it, but they're all Spock/Kirk. I hope that's okay!

Magpie by the always incredible @waldorph

Spock met Jim when he was 7 and Jim was 6. It has since been generally agreed that this was a mistake (or: the one where they grow up together and things are simultaneously better and worse for it).

rhadamanthus by spqr

Spock murmurs, “I cannot imagine a universe in which it is not my life’s duty to protect you. You are — “ he has to search for the right words, in Jim’s language. “You are — most dear to me, of all things.”

For Gladness of You by kariye

In which shit goes down in no particular order: Jim almost starts a war, Spock gets tortured, Jim gets kidnapped, Jim gets tortured, Spock gets not-quite-kidnapped, Jim takes the Enterprise joyriding, and mysterious Vulcans with their even more mysterious leader hop a ride for a few weeks. But that’s not what the story’s about. It’s about this: Jim was always going to fall in love with Spock – boldly, recklessly. He just didn’t expect to stay that way. A story about getting over all that.

The Handmaid of Genius by ladyblahblah

When the replicators go offline, Jim reacts unexpectedly.

Still Life by dogpoet

Traumatized by his experience on Tarsus IV, Jim Kirk runs away to Vulcan to undergo kolinahr.
