💛💙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 🥰

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

I have plans
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!

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).

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.

Starfleet Academy, home to carriers and mutants alike. Three years before Nero's attack on Vulcan, Jim Kirk and Leonard McCoy begin to forge what will one day be a legendary friendship. A series of snapshots of how it all began.
Throwaway one-shot. Jim Kirk survived Tarsus with more than just mental scars and how that could change the events in the second reboot film.
The three people who figured out that Jim was on Tarsus IV.
A fic based around the following prompt excerpt on Tumblr: “So, captain,” she began, eyeing him mischievously. “Where would you be if you hadn’t joined up?” Jim shrugged nonchalantly, pursing his lips for a moment in thought. “Dead probably,” he finally replied, lightly but absolutely serious– oblivious to the shocked expressions of his crew around him. “Or halfway to it in a bar in Iowa somewhere.” Or, Nyota's journey from first meeting Kirk, to loving Jim, through three, increasingly angsty, incidents spanning Academy Era to post 2009 film.
James T. Kirk always goes to Tarsus IV - because George Kirk can die, Vulcan can be destroyed, and Jim can be resurrected, but Tarsus IV is immutable. OR - An exploration of the fanon fact that Jim always experiences the massacre on Tarsus IV, no matter the universe.
Bones came to Starfleet with a hell of a lot of baggage. Jim came empty handed.
Jim would much rather deal with an army of assassins wielding pine nuts over having to weather the storm caused by this single video.
Jim is not exactly over Tarsus but he's over it enough to be casual about it, so times when Jim nonchalantly horrified someone by being casual about Tarsus
He's sitting stiffly, back straight and face utterly blank. There is no laughter twinkling in his eyes. She feels wary at the sight of him, this cadet who only superficially resembles the one she thought she knew. Starfleet Academy professor Anita Cornerstone calls Cadet Jim Kirk to her office to discuss his response on an essay assignment. The conversation they have is not the one she was expecting.
The kid takes him to the ground, hard and fast, and the knife punches right through his throat. The man gurgles and blood sprays, and the kid’s head snaps up, blond hair flying everywhere, as he gives the blade a final, savage, twist and pulls it free. He’d know those eyes anywhere. It’s Jim Kirk.
Based on the TOS episode Conscience of the King. Post Tarsus IV. Riley is assigned aboard the Enterprise. He recognizes Kirk.
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.
The thing people always forget is that it was a Vulcan ship that reached Tarsus IV first.
Jimmy Kirk isn’t an old soul stuck in a young body, his teachers whisper, he’s sharp, jagged edges and a too-bright mind wrapped in skin and bones all glued together with his stepdaddy’s fists.

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?
