The Once & Future Captain by Turtle_Goose

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

My friends called Kick a cat. It's their fault that this exist.

THIS FIC IS NOW STARTING TO FEEL LIKE A ROMCOM WTF LMAO

Academy Era Mckirk

anyway here's my top 10 academy era mckirk recs enjoy.

Step 1: Enlist in Starfleet. Step 2: ????? Step 3: Profit. by hellostarling

Jim spends three years at the Academy, and he totally manages it all by himself. Well, Bones helps a little. Or a lot. Maybe.

This is Jim's Starfleet education and all that entails: the ups, the downs, the prank wars, the winter vacations, and the awkward boners.

Once More unto the Breach by AnEscapeFromReality

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.

What Sulu Sees by IsmayDeVain

How Kirk Slowly Endears Himself to His Crew by Becoming a Human Punching Bag, Plunging off a 300 Foot Cliff, Getting Crushed by a Giant Ass Pipe, Nearly Getting Blown to Itty Bitty Bits, and Suffocating Because of His Own Medically Inept Body. (Although, not necessarily in that order.) Or five times Kirk puts his crew before himself and one time they return the favor.

(this is post Star Trek 2009, but it includes flashbacks to the academy so I'm counting it.)

Shelter by schweinsty

Five times Jim told someone about Tarsus IV, and one time they already knew.

The World May Never Know by SadieYuki

How many lies does it take to get to the center of a Jim Kirk?

Or, five times Jim Kirk hid the truth from Leonard McCoy, and one time he finally opened up.

Cpt C. Pike and C/ J.T. Kirk’s guide to unexpected Co-Habitation by InsaneSociopath

When the Admiralty first delivered their ultimatum, Chris Pike didn't know who ought to be more offended; Jim Kirk, for being treated as if he were incapable of being independent despite being twenty-two and a certified genius; or Chris himself, for not getting any choice in who lived in his spare bed room for the next twelve months dammit!

Or: Things Captain Christopher Pike learns about both himself and Cadet James T Kirk during their (not so) brief period of (initially) forced co-habitation.

Leonard H. McCoy's Guide to Keeping a Friend by highschool-facelesshellion (mutalune)

Leonard came to Starfleet with nothing except a half-finished degree and an empty bottle of cheap booze. It took him months to realize he had a best friend waiting in the wings for him to get his act together.

Or: How Leonard made a best friend by being an unobservant but decent person and how his conscience wouldn't let him be undeserving of the kid's freak affection.

Quirks and Their Side Effects by highschool-facelesshellion (mutalune)

Jim Kirk's always been a weirdo.

Leonard could use some more weird.

The Little Things by summoner_yuna_of_besaid

Jim thinks about how he came to this moment: how he just happened to go and visit Bones when the man was with a patient diagnosed with ADHD who was looking to refill his medication. Funny, he thinks as more tears roll down his face and his lips tremble, how the most innocuous little things can change your life, forever.

...

In which Jim Kirk learns about himself and his mind, struggles to understand it, and his friends and family help him handle the fall out.

Any Road Will Take You There by shoreleave

Slow-developing K/M, beginning right after the shuttle ride and showing what happens the first year at the Academy. Told from McCoy's POV.

(anyway drop into my inbox to cry with me about aos kirk)

could you please update the top!spock tag? (I just like me some bottom!jim <3) THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING <333

The tag has gotten lo’s new fic since this ask was sent. Also the pon farr tag is mostly Top!spock stories.

Prehensile: An Alien Love Story by Pamdizzle

That trust was the only reason he was here, Jim reminded himself. Spock had come to him, unlearned in the demands of physical need, and confided that he could not seem to ‘alleviate the symptoms’ of his physical arousal on his own. He’d come to Jim for pointers, for Chrissake.

Call Me Brother by Deanna Gray

Based on the TOS episode “Whom Gods Destroy”.  When Kirk tells Garth that Spock is his brother, he has no idea the connotations of that word when it comes to Vulcans.  But he’s about to find out.

Happy Anniversary by sunshine

Jim seduces Spock.

I Have Mapped the Curves of Your Body by Atilol

Kirk makes Spock lose his logic.

A Different Past by Kerchan

Spock x Kirk. Perhaps they are not so different after all. TOS!Spock x TOS!Kirk, nu!Spock x nu!Kirk.

Dom/sub

Loving You From Top to Bottom by verizonhorizon

Bedroom activities between the lovers spark conflict and (orgasmic) resolution.

Emergency Sex Pollen Contact by TheShinyLizard

“Yes, Spock?” Kirk asked, drowsy with sleep.

“There is a message on my terminal, asking me to be your MDM-Alpha2b emergency contact. Please clarify.”

Encircled by Rynne

Spock has a ring kink, which doesn’t exactly help his control when Jim decides to buy a wedding ring. And wear it. In public.

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!!!!

💛💙SPIRK FIC REC💙💛

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! 😊

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
